Poge Two~- THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturdoy, May 22, 17Q-7 6 , Page Two"''-- THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturdoy, May 22, 1976 Retail food prices up in April Reports link RFK to CIA Cuba plot WASHINGTON (a - Retail food prices went up in April for the first time this year, pushing over-all consumer pri- ces up four-tenths of one per cent, which was double the con- sumer prices increase in March the government said yesterday. However, the behavior of prices so far in 1976 remains well within the government's forecast for the year of a six per cent inflation rate and a two to five per cent rise in food prices.

Food prices had declined during the first three months of 1976 by a total of two per cent. Prices of commodities other than food rose three-tenths of one per cent, the same as in March, while prices of services rose five-tenths of one per cent, the smallest increase in eight months. On the negative side, the La- bor Department said the buying power of workers' paychecks declined by nine-tenths of one per cent in April, the biggest drop since November of 1974, when purchasing power fell 1.1 per cent during the depth of the recession. IT BLAMED the decline on inflation and a decrease in hours worked, coupled with no change in hourly earnings. Workers' real spendable earnings still were 3.8 per cent above a year earlier, but a con- tinuation of the loss of buying power could slow the surge in consumer buying that has been the major factor in the na- tion's recovery from recession. The Labor Department said its Consumer Price Index for April stood at 168.2, meaning that goods that cost $100 in 1967 were priced at 168.20 last month. P R E S I D E N T F O R D welcomed the April price re- port, saying that while prices rose more than in March, "it does show the rate of inflation on a downward trend." Prices during the 12-month period ending in April increas- ed 6.1 per cent, a big improve- ment over the 12-month in- crease a year earlier of 10.2 per cent. Prices increased only two- tenths of one per cent in March, one-tenth in February and four- tenths in January, the same as April, for an overall-increase in prices so far in 1976 of 1.1 per cent. THE ANNUAL rate of in- crease in the past three months was 2.9 per cent. However, government econo- mists have said all along the rate of inflation cannot con- tinue at such low levels. They say the basic rate of inflation in the economy is probably about six per cent and they pre- dict price reports during the remainder of the year will re- flect that rate. Economists consider price be- havior of commodities other than food as being more signifi- cant in the long run, since food prices are considered especial- ly volatile. The annual rate of increase in non-food commodi- ties so far in 1976 has been near four per cent. THE LABOR Department had a mixed report on fuels prices in April, with gasoline and mo- tor oil falling nine-tenths of one per cent, the fifth consecutive month of decline, while fuel oil and coal prices rose three- tenths of one per cent, the first increase in six months. DETROIT (1P) - Robert Ken- nedy apparently was the key number of a secret Kennedy ad- ministration team measuring the impact on Cuba of an as- sassination of Fidel Castro, the Detroit News reported yester- day. "U. S. Senate probers - - accidentally have uncovered the existence of a supersecret team of top Kennedy administration officials whose mission was to measure the impact" of an assassination of the Cuban dic- tator, the newspaper said. IN A copyright story written by Seth Kantor of its Washing- ton bureau, the News said knowledgeable government sources disclosed that Robert Kennedy was the key member of the team, which was assem- bled before President John Kennedy was shot in 1963. "Existence of the clandestine Kennedy committee was un- earthed two weeks ago by prob- ers of the Senate's so-called K e n n e d y assassination panel, headed jointly by Sens. -Gary Hart (D-Colo.) and Rich- ard Schweiker (R-Pa.)" the paper said.
