No Tax Decision After March Price Rise Increases
The March living cost index rose four tenths of a percent, after February’s half percent gain, marking the largest two month rise since 1958. Wholesale prices fell slightly, while pork costs eased for the first time in four months amid stubborn inflation and consumer resistance. The index sits at 112 percent of the 1957-59 average, about 2.8 percent above a year ago, with food and housing among the main drivers. President Johnson seeks voluntary cuts and may push higher taxes if needed, though a tax decision may wait if indicators stay mixed.
