Steepest Rate Since Korean War Hits Consumers
Washington AP reports February saw the steepest price gain since the Korean War led by a record one month jump in groceries. Inflation for the past three months runs 6.3 percent, with food, fuel, rent, and taxes driving the rise. Nixon adviser Stein predicts higher prices in March and April, but easing later as food supplies improve. Real weekly earnings edged up 0.4 percent in January, with the average pay rising to 140.99 dollars. Stein blames the food price surge on rising incomes and lagging farm output rather than policy shifts.
