year it was Walt Dropo, who

Casey Stengel, manager of the

The Mats pitchers were tuned in

Firms Must Give Advance Notice Of Price Raise

WASHINGTON, P)-The gov ernment was reported today to be drafting an order that all business firms give 30-day notice before raising prices.
 This would have the effect of a one-month price freeze" although it would not apply to all farm prices, because of certain provi- sions of law.
 Retail food prices were shown by the bureau of labor statictics today to have risen 1.2 percent be- tween Nov. 28 and Dec. 15-al- most to the record high reached in July of 1948.
 There was no immediate con- firmation of the plan to issue a 30-day advance notice order. However, reports from people close to price director Michael V. Disalle and his staff said the de- cision has been made to issue such an order very soon.
 The action was described as a stopgap measure-holding the line temporarily while the price sta- Utilization office builds staff to enforce a system of more specific ceiling prices, and while the wage stabilization board comes to some decision on standards for controll- ing wages. This board has called a labor management conference
