10 Per Cent Cut In Costs Seen
PHILADELPHIA March 31 A forecast of about a 10 percent drop in the cost of living next year is offered by U.S. labor statistics chief Ewan Clague to an International Association of Public Employment Services meeting. Food prices may fall unless war related or climate factors offset gains. Rents remain about 20 percent above 1924 peaks, while average weekly earnings reached 55 dollars last December, boosting purchasing power to postwar highs. Unemployment in February hit 3,750,000 and could rise by up to 600,000 this year.
