May living costs rise slowed but still set record high
The May consumer cost index rose one tenth of one percent to 236 percent of the 1947-49 base, marking the 19th straight rise in 21 months. Food costs held steady for the month, easing inflation fears as the index implies wage escalators for about 850,000 workers across steel, aluminum, canning, and meat-packing. Prices for medical care and transportation drove most of the gain, with some automobile and gas costs contributing as well.
