Shelf mark-ups dissuaded
by Price Stability Council
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
newly created Council on Wage and
Price Stability wants to discourage
food stores from marking up the
price of items already on the
shelves, the council’s director said
Wednesday.
Albert Rees said in an interview
that public hearings on the practice
are set for sometime next month as
part of an investigation into profits
and markups for food middlemen.
Since the council has no enforce
ment powers, the public hearings
are its ultimate weapon as the
government’s inflation watchdog.
Some food chains have already
announced that once they mark the
price on an item, they will not stamp
on a new higher price.
"We want to get them to say why
they’ve announced their policy and
find out why some of the other
chains have not announced such a
policy,’ Rees said.
Consumers don’t mind paying
higher prices for things if they are
convinced that they’re justified by
higher costs, he said.
But when they see a can of beans
that has been marked 27 cents and
that’s crossed out and it’s marked 35
cents, they feel that extra 8 cents is
some sort of an unjustified...you
could almost call it price gouging,”
Rees said.

Sanders Letbetter is managing
the 64 rooms available for occu
pancy this year. The staff of the
hotel will include full- and part-time
employes. Letbetter stated that
students will be used for many of the
part-time positions.
Due to its partially complete
state, the rooms lack a few of the
comforts of home but these have
been supplemented by additions
made by Letbetter’s staff. Some
rooms lack small tables for the
phone and lamp.
The rooms are divided into three
classes. The largest room style is the
Deluxe which is an L-shaped room
that contains two deluxe beds and a
large bath.
The next size room contains one
queen-sized bed. These rooms are
13’ x 13 and contain a bath. Also, 55
rooms contain only two twin beds
and shower.
“I think the price of food is what’s
bothering people most,” he added.
“It’s the most burdensome part of
inflation, especially for poor
families.
Rees said the council is leaving to
the Agriculture Department the
problem of dealing with food prices
at the farm level, since problems
such as poor weather are beyond the
council’s reach.
But, "that whole distribution
chain from the farm door to the
check-out counter is of tremendous
interest to us. And I think there are
things that we can do there.
“It’s not just that the price of raw
food has gone up. The marketing
margins have gone up. And they’ve
gone up tremendously,” he said.
The council, created in August,
was President Ford’s first request of
Congress when he took office and
declared inflation to be Public
Enemy No. 1.
Its modest 10-person staff is to
grow no larger than 40. It cannot
order either businesses or workers
to roll back increases.

The guest rooms are actually the
same rooms previously situated in
the MSC before the recent addi
tions. Letbetter said the layout of
the rooms was not changed because
of structural and economic reasons.
Also included with the rooms is a
sophisticated security and fire alarm
system for the protection of guests.
Letbetter stated that after Nov. 3,
guest rooms would be available dur
ing the week, for large groups filling
30 or more rooms.
The rooms will be fully opera
tional after Jan. 2.

brought outbursts of laughter dur
ing his songs and his ad-libs bet

hits have been in the comic vein.
