Firms Must Give
Advance Notice
Of Price Raise
WASHINGTON, (/P)~The gov
ernment was reported today to be
drafting an order that all business
firms give a 30-day notice before
raising prices.
This would have the effect of a
! one-month price “freeze” although
! it would not apply <to all farm
prices, because of certain provi
sions of law.
Retail food prices were shown
by the bureau of labor statictics
today to have risen 1.2 percent be
tween Nov. 28 and Dec. 15—al
most to the record high reached in
July of 1948.
There was no immediate con
firmation of the plan to issue a
30-day advance notice order.
However, reports from people
close to price director Michael V.
Disalle and his staff said the de
cision has been made to issue such
an order very soon.
The action was described as a
stopgap measure—holding the line
temporarily while the price sta
bilization office builds a staff to
enforce a system of more specific
ceiling prices, and while the wage
stabilization board comes to some
decision on standards for controll
ing wages. This board has called
a labor management conference
