Living Costs Reach Two Year High Amid War Pressures
Official cost of living index rose 1.4 percent from June 15 to July 15, the largest rise in nearly two years, influenced by the Korean War.

Walter Reuther condemns price rises and urges Congress to enact anti inflation controls, saying profits are high and gains are illusory for workers.
