Booming Japan's living costs have climbed 6.8% in the first five months of 1963, enough to threaten Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda's hopes for a doubled per capita income by 1970. In Latin America, the increases are stratospheric: Argentina's cost of living rose 31.5% last year. Chile's 20.8%, Brazil...
