Meat Price Rise Serious Says Stein
Herbert Stein, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, warned that rising meat prices are a serious problem requiring patience from producers and workers. He said if cattlemen seek catchup prices, workers push wages above meat costs, or middlemen keep profits, the situation becomes impossible. Wholesale price hikes will appear in groceries, with the Price Commission set to meet soon, though he does not expect strong action. He urged goodwill and leadership to curb acceleration, speaking at the Grocery Manufacturers Association executive conference.
