Washington reports that department stores may raise prices on most goods starting next Monday. Increases range from a penny or two on small items to a dollar or more on furniture, radios, and television sets. The Office of Price Stabilization says many items currently sell below ceilings and will not see changes due to competition. OPS authorized the increases to offset higher freight and parcel post rates since May 1951, noting freight charges rose 6 to 25 percent in many areas and furniture shipments under carload lots climbed 35 to 138 percent. Large appliances like washing machines and freezers are not covered and will get separate orders.
