Burns on grain sales may lift food costs two percent
In a CBS Face the Nation appearance Arthur Burns, chair of the Federal Reserve, said grain sales to the Soviet Union could raise U S food prices above the agriculture department forecast of one percent. He declined an exact figure, suggesting two percent or more, and warned against broad export controls. He also forecast gasoline price increases if oil price controls lapse and discussed deficits driving higher interest rates and inflation. He said the Fed would maintain current policy and denied a direct role in aiding New York City's cash crisis, offering support only to solvent banks with temporary cash needs.
