Tough Edict Looms as Price Hikes Prompt New Policy
The government announced a tough new rice center policy to curb price increases when profits exceed a set standard. Under the yardstick, industries cannot raise prices if dollar profits reach 35 percent or more of the average of the three best years in 1946 1949.

The policy may trigger squawks from firms as cost increases are to be absorbed. DiSalle will unveil manufacturers price regulations next, aiming to realign prices to pre Korea levels with cost allowances.
