More Shipments
Mean Higher Cost,
President Told
tBy Associated PressI

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30. -
Recommendation to call a special
session of congress to consider in
creased shipments of foodstuffs
10 foreign countries and to fight
the price uptrend in this country
are still being received at the
White House, but it was said Pres
ident Truman is hopeful that
those matters can be attended to
satisfactorily at conference
with members of his cabinet and
legislative leaders.
The difficulty, it was pointed
out, centers in the circumstance
that if the government increases
its purchases of food for ship
ment abroad, it is almost sure to
cause a further spiraling OF
prices at home.
THE cost of living is certain
to increase further" a spokesman
declared, eff the government
steps up its purchases in the
home market to an appreciable
degree"
1t was said that Secretary Mar
shall favors the calling of a spe-
cial session of congress.
