INCREASE ON PRICE
OF BREAD AND FLOUR
EXPECTED FROM OPA
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (UP)—!
Price Administrator Paul For- j
I ler and Secretary of Agriculture j
i Clinton P. Anderson may decide i
[ today to boost the retail prico of I
I bread one cent a loaf and the
price of flour at least one cenl
a pound.
The bread and flour price in- j
I creases have been recommended I
to the two agency chiefs by the I
O'.'As food price branch,
j '1 he boosts would compensate
milk rs and bakers for higher |
j wheat prices and the ending of j
the flour subsidy. Wheat will i.-j
de-controlled under the new O j
| PA bill unless the new decontrol I
| board puts it baelc under price
ceilings by Aug. 20.
The flour subsidy, which laps-
[ 1 d June 30, is not expected to be | '
j reinstated. No determination has '
been made on whether OPA or !
tile decontrol board has the right
to drop flour ;ub.sidics pern.a- , ,,C(
nently. i the
A . ennj'-a-pound increase in i t d-
flour would require high* i pi i> ■
on cra'kcs, cookies and othci
bakery products as well as bread.
The '.. 'ion would mean about a
$i.l! .iriee increase on flour at
the mill level east of the Rocki-s.
Prices would be even higher w si.
of the Rockies because of addi-
tional freight costs.
