DiSalle Aims to Keep Prices Stable Through 1952
Price stabilizer Michael DiSalle said he hopes ceiling prices stay near current levels in 1952. Economists predict cost of living could rise two to three percent if no higher authority intervenes, slower than the 4.23 percent rise since last January. The forecast assumes steel prices do not rise substantially, with Putnam and DiSalle arguing steel wages cannot justify a price boost given current high earnings.
