Consumer prices rise sharply United Press International WASHINGTON — Consumer prices shot up another 1.1 percent in May, the Labor Department re ported Tuesday. Gasoline and fuel oil continued their rapid rise, but food costs grew more slowly. It was the fifth straight month that the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index has risen in the 1 per cent range and showed inflation is continuing strong even while many believe the economy is entering a slowdown or recession. Retail prices have risen 10.8 per cent during the past 12 months and at an annual 13.6 percent rate in the past three months. The May price index stood at 214.1, meaning that goods which cost $100 in 1967 now costs $214.10. Gasoline prices increased 5 per cent in May, slower than the 6 per cent rise in April, but still an annual rate of increase of 55.1 percent. The cost of transportation rose 1.8 per cent with gasoline accounting for more than two-thirds of that in crease. Fuel oil prices jumped 5.3 per cent in May, the fourth consecutive large increase. But the rise in food prices con tinued to cool, as the administration has been hoping. The rise for food and beverage prices as a whole has slowed from 1.6 percent in February to 1 percent in March, 0.9 percent in April and 0.7 percent in May. Still, food prices have risen 11.2 percent in the past year. Prices of retail store foods rose 0.5 percent in May, the smallest in crease since last August. Pork prices declined for the sec ond straight month, and poultry prices also declined. Beef and veal prices increased sharply by 3 percent in May, but this was considerably less of a rise than earlier this year. Restaurant meals rose 1.1 percent in May and alcoholic beverages 0.8 percent, both, faster rises than the previous month. The overall cost of housing rose 1.2 percent in May, with fuel play ing a big part. Rents rose 1 percent, house prices 0.8 percent and mortg age interest costs 2.2 percent.

Poll shows Reagan, Baker are running ahead of Carter :DIAMONDS!! DIAMONDS!! DIAMONDS!!! United Press International WASHINGTON — Both Ronald Reagan and Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker were running ahead of President Carter in the latest ABC-Harris poll, with former Texas Gov. John Connally closing fast. Reagan trailed Carter 47-45 percent in a similar sampling of voters in May but in June led by a 51-43 percent margin, Monday’s poll showed. Baker, like Reagan an unannounced candidate for the GOP nomination, led the president by 1.0 point, 46-45 percent. Carter still led Connally 52-41, but the gap had narrowed sharply since the 62-32 percent lead he enjoyed in March. The survey said a majority of Democrats and independents — 58 percent — believe Kennedy would defeat Carter for the nomination. The poll was a sampling of 1,218 voters across the country.
