Cost Of Living
Easing Up
WASHINGTON, (A*)—President
Truman’s top economic adviser
forecast yesterday “a further eas
ing” of the cost of living.
Dr. Edwin G. Nourse, chairman
of the council of economic advis
ors, said “we are still in a period
of healthy disinflation.”
Nourse and fellow members of
the council called at the White
House to give their monthly report
to Mr. Truman on the economic
picture.
The written report to the Presi
dent was not made public, but
Nourse told reporters some of the
main points in it. He said:
“I expect some further easing in
the cost of living.”
Nourse said the cost of living in
March was 3.2 per cent under the
peak of August, 1948, but that
there was a slight although not
important upturn in April.
He said production is down
from the December peak, that un
employment is down to a 3,000,
000 level from a top unemploy
ment of 3,221,000 in February.
“Prices continue downward, but
not on a demoralized basis,”
Nourse went on. He said that the
public could expect declines in
pork prices, although beef prices
likely will go up.
The “easing of the cost of liv
ing” Outside was not noticeable in
Nome however, as local restau
rants have announced increased
prices on many items served on
their menus.
Other merchants, however, ad
vertise “sales” of merchandise
marked down from regular asking
prices in attempts to rid their
shelves of overstocked items and
in anticipation of reduced costs of
new merchandise to be received j
on the first boat.
