Retail Food Price Index Reaches Record High
Mid August figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show the retail food price index at 235.6 percent of the 1935-39 average, about 16 percent higher since the Korean War began. Prices rose mainly from pork and chicken gains. The government also suspended price controls on radios, television sets, record players, car parts, bedding, chinware, silverware, and handmade glassware, with potential reimposition if ceilings are threatened.
