The Labor Department said there was a 0.6 percent increase after seasonal adjustment for Oc tober, reflecting a routine boost in auto dealers’ prices that hap pens at this time every year. “I think the index is overall good news,’’ said Robert Ortner, chief economist for the Com merce Department. He said it was rare for both food and energy prices to drop in the month. “The index declined 0.2 per cent without the motor vehicle increase,” Ortner said. This gives hope, he said, that future months, not as heavily influenced by auto prices, will show a de crease. Consumer foods alone were al so down 0.2 percent in their first drop since April with beef, pork and vegetables leading the way down. Energy products also became cheaper overall pulled down by price breaks for fuel, oil and natu ral gas, even though gasoline prices ended a five-montb down ward trend and increased 0.4 per cent.

The Producer Price Index not only measures wholesale prices for goods ready to be sold, but also for goods being prepared and for raw materials. There was no increase at the intermediate stage and a steep 10.7 percent monthly drop in prices at the raw materials stage. “The recession usually shows first in raw commodity prices, metals and raw foods, and that has already occurred in August and September and is still occur ring now, ” Economist Jean McIn tosh, of the Fidelity Bank of Philadelphia, said. “When consumers’ income is down,” McIntosh said, “they buy fewer high cost items.” Consumers economizing on beefsteak, sent the price of cattle, which is considered a raw mate rial, down 4.2 percent for the month alone. Corn prices fell for the third consecutive month. Another economist said wholesale prices were in a hold pattern. Donald Ratajczak, who directs a continuing study of prices at Georgia State University, said “the recession has softened up raw materials’ prices.” After seeing the government figures for October, Ratajczak said prices show no further evi dence of either acceleration or deceleration, except for the tem porary auto and truck price move ments. The Producer Price Index for October was set by the Labor De partment at 274, showing that the wholesale goods that cost $100 14 years ago, now cost $274. Weinberger changes B-l testimony United Press International WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger, reversing previous testimony, joined with the CIA Tuesday in assuring Congress the B-l bom ber will be able to penetrate Soviet air defenses “well into the 1990s.” And President Reagan told a White House news conference the manned bomber, which faces strong congressional opposition because of its cost and limited penetration ability, will be su perior to the B-52 in payload capacity and speed and will pre sent a smaller target on radar. “I believe this and the MX mis- sle are both important parts of strengthening our weakened triad of strategic weapons” Reagan said. The B-l would fill the gap be tween the B-52 and the new Stealth bomber which is still in the design stage, he said. Even when replaced, he said, the B-l would be useful to the United States. Weinberger and CIA Director William Casey defended the re- netration capabilities of the B-1B, the advanced version of the bom ber, in a joint letter to Sen. Ted Stevens R-Alaska, chairman of the Senate defense appropria tions subcommittee. The subcommittee wrapped up its work Tuesday on the $201 bil lion fiscal 1982 defense budget without a vote on the $4.1 billion appropriation for development of the B-l and the long-range MX missile. It left the decision to the full Senate Appropriations Com mittee meeting next Tuesday. Weinberger testified last week that the B-l would not be able to penetrate Soviet air defense be yond 1990. But in their letter, Weinberger and Cassey said a mixed force of B-ls armed with cruise missiles and stealth-technology bombers will present an extremely difficult problem to the most sophisticated Soviet air defense system. “Defense department analyses based on the results of these tests indicate the B-1B would have the capability to penetrate antici pated Soviet air defense well into the 1990s in a multitude of em ployment modes,” the letter said. With high speed, reduced radar detection and new electron ic countermeasures, it said, the B-l will severely reduce the best anticipated Soviet air defense ca pabilities. The B-l, the letter said, will be able to “perform effectively as a cruise missile carrier and as a con ventional bomber into the next century.” After a two-hour classified briefing for the subcommittee, Defense Undersecretary Richard DeLauer and Air Force Gen. Kelly Burke disagreed with an es timate by the Congressional Budget Office that the cost of 100 B-l bombers could be as high as $39.8 billion.
