Price Stability and Inflation Outlook for 1958
Government price experts predict a slight dip in the cost of living in January followed by a mostly stable year. Inflation over two years could shave about 5 cents from the dollar, with no dramatic price rollbacks expected. Some rise may occur due to holidays and new car prices, but underlying inflationary pressures may ease as demand cools and inventories grow. Wage levels are expected to keep rising. Separately, a Senate hearing heard that the 1952 slaying of Teamsters Local 456 president John Acropolis stemmed from violent rivalries for control of New York garbage hauling, with threats reported to Doyle and others prior to the killing.
