AFL CIO officials challenged the government Bureau of Labor Statistics figures on living costs. They argued costs have risen 43 percent since January 1941, not 24 percent, and that prices of many foods, upgrading, deterioration, and the loss of low cost goods are omitted. The committee’s findings question the accuracy of urban averages and note regional differences across the country.

Oil reserves sufficient says Trade as 1943 data cited
The American Petroleum Institute challenged Interior Secretary Ickes claim that U S proven oil reserves cover only 34 years. They stated wartime output would cut total U S reserves by about 18 percent to 20 billion barrels as of December 31 1943, with 1.4648 billion barrels added during the year from new discoveries and field expansions. Production in 1943 reached 1 503427 million barrels, leaving a shortfall of similar size to be replaced. J Edgar Pew of the Pennsylvania Sun argued industry can meet national needs with adequate prices and ample supply for generations.
