Price Index Declines Slightly Amid Auto and Rent Drops
In mid April the consumer price index fell one tenth of a percent from March, aided by auto price cuts and the first rent decrease since 1942. The index stood at 114.2 percent of 1947-43 prices, with auto prices down about 4 percent due to dealer stock, not manufacturer list prices. Rents eased slightly, signaling an end to the long rent rise. Costs for clothing, coal, and house furnishings also fell, offsetting a four tenths rise in food and small increases in medical and personal care costs.

Western Proposals Rejected in Berlin Talks
In Berlin the Soviet Union rejected Western proposals to refer Berlin toll disputes to German experts. The US Britain and France ambassadors to West Germany said the issue of increased road taxes on trucks entering Berlin remains within East German authority and outside the 1949 four power framework. The meeting at the Soviet embassy on Unter den Linden marked the first four power session since the 1948 49 blockade ended with tense exchanges and claims of violation of the blockade agreement. The Western envoys James B. Conant Andre Francois Poncet and Sir Frederick Hoyer Millar pressed for a settlement while Pushkin urged direct East West German talks. The Western side warned a deadlock could persist if positions do not shift.
