...merry-go-round of inflation was already starting new circles. Higher costs had brought the cost-of-living index in July to a new alltime high (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS). That meant still higher wages-an immediate boost of 3? an hour for 1,000,000 auto workers. And that meant still higher costs for the auto industry. The OPS has already authorized a 1% boost in the price of cars, and more will probably soon be asked...
...monastery in southern Italy, he has helped thousands on their spiritual journey. Yet the church continually cautions that he is not to be regarded as a saint. Last week the Congregation of the Holy Office put eight books written about Padre Pio on the church's Index of Forbidden Books. Reason: they attributed unverified miraculous powers to a man still living...
...cost-of-living edged up almost to its all-time peak of last January. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' index for May (189) was only one-tenth of 1% below the record. Its climb of .2% since April meant a 2? per hour automatic wage rise for 1,300,000 railroad workers, and may soon mean another raise for over 1,000,000 auto workers whose contracts are tied to a different period. Moreover, no matter how the steel strike is settled it will mean 1) higher wages, 2) higher prices for steel and products containing steel all down...
After 35 years, Professor Emeritus Morey, now 74, has come close to realizing an old dream: giving scholars a chance to see all the examples of art on any particular subject almost at a glance. Where-ever complete copies of the index exist-at Princeton, and at Dumbarton Oaks-U.S. scholars have been able to do in one day research that would once have taken months. Now, with a third copy safely installed in Rome through funds raised by Cardinal Spellman, European scholars are at last able to do the same...
...Corpse. Along with sales, prices also had begun edging up once more. Dun & Bradstreet's index of wholesale food prices showed the sharpest increase (1.6%) in 17 months. The Government's cost-of-living index was still 11% above its June 1950 level, when the Korean war began. In the face of these signs that inflation was far from dead, neither Republicans nor Democrats in Congress seemed willing to take a chance, in an election year, on killing controls.* This week the Defense Production Act, with its train of OPS, NPA and other business controls, seemed certain...
