DiSalle predicts prices to rise five to six percent
Washington says the price director Michael V. DiSalle foresees the general price level climbing another five to six percent or more before stability, probably by midsummer, with a phased removal of the initial freeze and targeted industry regulations. He favors fixed industry profit margins and possible rollbacks in basic materials while noting ample supplies and potential subsidies for some commodities. The Wage Stabilization Board remains split as it works toward a new formula for wage boosts above January 25 levels.
