Early Price Control Removal Seen Doubtful
Washington officials predicted no large scale removal of food price controls before next spring. They noted last night's suspension of price ceilings on white potatoes does not indicate a broader trend. The potato move aimed to curb surplus as supply is large and prices have been under ceilings in several areas. Controls were suspended through October 25 with meat and canned fruit and vegetable prices expected to remain at high ceilings for months despite improving supply.
