Food still best bargain for U S consumer
Agri culture Secretary Orville L Freeman says food remains the best bargain for Americans and will take a smaller bite from workers pay this year. He notes food expenditures as a share of disposable income will fall to about 18.3 percent in 1965, down from 18.5 percent last year and about 20 percent in 1960, with vegetables temporarily higher due to weather but supplies rising. Meat prices reflect lower packing-house supplies, and Freeman expects strong beef demand and steady high prices if meat remains tight.
