Retail food prices peak forecast for year
The Agriculture Department suggested retail food prices may have already peaked for the year, though the cost of living index could still rise as services and some items push overall costs higher. Farm prices edged down 0.75 percent in the May 15 period, remaining 5 percent above a year ago, while production costs held steady. ERS predicted softer cattle prices in summer, small hog price gains, and a higher spring vegetable tonnage, possibly altering seasonal trends.

White House said President Johnson would seize any chance for Viet Nam peace talks but had no evidence of an overture from the Communists. Moyers said no Romanian peace feeler had been substantiated and added the administration would eagerly respond to any offer. Rising domestic pressure and Saigon instability fuel calls to end U S air strikes and seek an honorable exit.
