Prices Nearing
 All-Time High Survey Shows
Your Dollar Buys Less Now Than At Any Time
 In 27 Years

NEW YORK-(FP)-YOur dol lar will buy less today than at any time in the last 27 years, according to the consumers price index of the National Industrial Conference Board.
 The board, which generally chimes in with the employers viewpoint, found that its price index for Decem- Der 1946 had climbed to 1929, within 2/10 of one index point of the all-time high of June 1920.
 GOING DOWN
 The purchasing value of the dollar. based on changes in the price index, dropped 6.796 during the last three months of 1o46 to reach its lowest point in almost 2 years (since June 1920). In December 1o46 it stood at 8l.4f as compared to o3.4e in December 1945.
 Each of the 66 US. cities in. cluded in the survey showed an in- crease in the index. Food prices showed the sharpest advance. climbing I3.S% during the last quarter of l946. Over the previous l2 months, food prices rose nearly SO%o, according to the boards con- servative estimate.
 Next to food, mems clothing showed the greatest increase. During the last quarter of 1o46 mems clothing was upped 8.78O while over the previous l2 months, rise of 16.3%o was re- corded. Only three items in the index remained unchanged during the last quarter of l946 as well as the previous lZ months. These were housing, electricity and gas.
 If the real estate groups succeed in getting rent control ditched, the NICB's index will undoubtedly squirt past the 1920 mark.
