Price Of
Butter To
Get Boost
Ceiling Rate to
Go Up 5 to 6 Cents
Pound Nov. 8
WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (JP
The retail ceiling price on butter
will be boosted 5 to 6 cents a
pound -Nov. 8. i
Stabilization Director John C.
Collet announced this today in
withdrawing, effective Oct 31, a
wartime subsidy of 3 cents a
pound paid to butter processors.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles, in a concurrent statement-expressed
the opinion that
the effect of the butter price in
crease on the cost of living will
be offset by a decline in other
items.
Bowles said the over-all cost
of living had dropped two-tenths
of one per cent between July 15
and August 15. He said also that
there was a subsequent drop in
the costof potatoes "and other
cost of living items.
For these reasons, Bowles said,
"the consumer will pay no more
for all items going into the fam
ily budget as a result of the in
crease in butter prices than the
prices he paid at the time of the
surrender of Japan.
The butter subsidy went into
effect June 1, 1943. Since that
time the reconstruction finance
corporation has paid out $174,
691,000 to processors.
Secretary of Agriculture An
derson approved cancellation of
the subsidy, the announcement
said, while "demand is still strong
enough to : maintain returns to
producers and processors." "
