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.
