Bread Prices Seen Stable If Wheat Is Kept High
Washington Aug 1 The war emergencies council of the baking industry reports that a minimum wheat price proposed by the food bill would prevent bread price reductions. They urge leaving wheat price to the executive branch and note only a small portion of Americans favor high wheat prices while 95 percent want reasonable bread costs. The council sees no immediate push for lower bread prices and urges Congress to focus on practical relief.
