Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston told the House Banking Committee that a broad rollback to pre Korea prices is unlikely and warned that pushing prices back would also affect wages and profits. He endorsed pegging farm commodity ceilings to parity at the start of a crop season, while noting farm prices cannot be kept from rising under current law. He warned inflation pressures remain and a big price surge could come later.
