Wayne Millner, former Redskin

Higher Food Prices
Asked by Grocers;
OPS 10 Make Survey
BY the Associated Press

The Nations grocers want per-
mission to charge higher prices
basing their plea primarily on in
creased costs.
Price stabilization officials said
they would conduct a quick survey
of conditions in the Nations $780,
600 food stores to see if "emer-
gency" relief from present grocery
story price ceilings is needed. But
the officials indicated overall groc-
cry price adjustments would not
come for some time.
Request Made to OPS.
The corner grocery took his plea
for a bigger margin of profit to
the Office of Price Sterilization
yesterday, through the Retail Food
Distributors Industry Advisory
Committee. The committee repre-
sents both independent and chain
grocerS.
Price control officials said the
requested increase might add u
to l per cent to the country's
present food bill.
The advisory committee told the
OPS that the grocers need to
enlarge their present overall profit
margin by 2 percentage points.
The requested increase in across
the-counter grocery profits came
atop three developments this week
bearing on food prices:
/. OPS Wednesday gave thou
sands Of manufacturers, process
sors, refiners and others-includ-
ing businesses preparing meat,
milk, butter and other foods for
the retail market-permission to
apply for higher ceiling prices.
This was done on the basis Of the
Capehart amendment to the price
control law.
2. On Thursday, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported that
retail food prices reached a new
high on November IS. The bureau
said an eight-city survey pushed
its index up to 231.2, compared
to the 1935-1939 average of 100.
That was about IA per cent above
prices.
Wholesale Prices Decline.
3. The Bureau Of Labor Statis-
tics said yesterday that the gen.
eral wholesale price level fell four
tenths of l per cent during the
week ended December 4. The bu-
reau said the decline resulted
from lower prices for many farm
commodities. listing raw wool,
steers. hogs, eggs, oranges and
potatoes as leading the fall.
The Retail Food Distributors
Committee said the grocers are
having two kinds of difficulties
in making a profit.
On some items, it said, price
ceilings are too low to allow
profit, in view of increased
operating costs.
In other cases, it said, grocers
are selling some items at less than
ceiling prices. because of market
conditions.
