had added greatly to the cost
of both cotton and rayon clothing
Both programs, described as the
first of a series of moves to hold
clothing prices in line, follow
closely Sterilization Director Vim
sons edict that recent slight but
disturbing rise in living costs
must STOP"
Bowles said that for the last
IL months price rises in clothing
have been the greatest threat to
the program to hold the line on
the cost of living"
''In my opinion" he added, "any
increases in the cost of living
index in the coming months will
stop completely as soon as (these)
programs are fully effective"
He added, however, that despite
these efforts "the clothing prob
lem-as far as price control and
supply are concerned-wil be with
us as long as the war is on" ~
Bowles said the new programs
followed many complaints from
the public "about the disappear
ance of low priced clothing, about
deterioration of quality-which is
really a price increase about
rising prices for garments"
