Battalion Editorials Page 2 FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1951 PICKPOCKET STItt AT LARGE Anti-Inflation Step . . . AT LONG last, a major blow has been ^struck against inflation. The new price measure is aimed primarily at manufactur ers who have raised prices above and beyond the point called for by increased labor and material costs. A secondary objective is to put the brakes on various “automatic escal ator” deals that keep prices spiralling up wards. Price Director Michael V. DiSalle expects the “factory ceiling” to stop the runaway price boom that followed the Korean war. About 75,000 manufacturing plants will be concerned in “re-pricing” based on pre- Korea levels plus increased costs of labor and materials only. The effect on the consumer will be de layed by the normal time for the trip from the manufacturer to the merchandiser. May 28 is the deadline for the new system that will cover about $70 billion (annual gross) worth of merchandise. This is welcome news, even though the 100-cent dollar still appears to be as far away as ever. Renewed confidence in the stability of the dollar might induce people to hang on to money rather than drop it like a hot potato. This, in turn, will aid in stemming the mad buying sprees that we have seen in the past.
