Cost of Living Reported Declined New York (DPD The cost of living declined in July for the first time in more than two years, the National In dustrial Conference Board re ported Thursday. The decline, a slight one tenth of 1 per cent, marks the first break in the infla tionary spiral that began in 1956 after almost three years of price stability. Declines in food, housing and apparel costs offset in creases in transportation and sundries, sending the board's over-all index down 0.1 per cent from June to 107.4 per cent of the 1953 base period. The index was 2.5 per cent above July, 1957. The conference board's in dex of consumer prices has risen 26 consecutive months before the July break. With the economy showing signs of recovery from the depths of the shortest but deepest post war recession, some econom ists have warned that infla tionary forces may pick up steam.
