Carter concerned over steel price hike
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres
ident Carter, disappointed by a
new U.S. Steel Corp, price in
crease, is concerned that the
hike could undermine the ad
ministration’s anti-inflation
program, his chief economic
adviser says.
“The government can’t do it
along. There has to be some
general restraint shown by oth
ers,” Charles L. Schultze,
chairman of the President’s
Council of Economic Advisers,
said of the anti-inflation effort.
Schultze, who asked reporters
to his office Thursday evening,
criticized U.S. Steel shortly
after the nation’s largest steel
maker announced price in
creases of 6 per cent on struc
tural steel and 7 per cent on tin
mill steel.
“The administration believes
such action is clearly inconsist
ent with efforts to control the
inflation rate,” Schultze said.
He said Carter had “expressed
his sharp disappointment with
this development.”
Structural steel is used in
construction, while tin mill steel
is used in food and beverage
cans.

Meanwhile, a university
spokesman said the first two
victims were undergoing a long,
painful series of rabies vac
cinations, and the other three
probably will receive the in
jections.
Officials said a bat would
have to be caught before it could
be determined if any of the bites
had a chance of turning into
cases of rabies in humans.
University Public Safety Di
rector Lowell Muse said bats
Although U.S. Steel said the
increase is needed to offset
higher labor charges and other
costs, Schultze said the steel in
dustry has raised its prices in
recent months much faster than
the average increase for all
American industry.
“We’ve got to let the public
know about it,” he said, when
asked what the criticism would
accomplish. “We have to look at
it in terms of what’s been
happening.”
If other steelmakers follow
U.S. Steel’s lead, he said, over
all steel prices will be 12.5 per
cent higher than they were in
September. The latest increase
is the fifth significant hike in 10
months, he added.
The steel price increase and
the Carter administration’s
criticism of it came on the same
day that the government issued
another unfavorable report on
inflation, showing the struggle
to contain rising prices has a
long way to go.
The Labor Department said
consumer prices rose six-tenths
of 1 per cent in June, the same
as in May, and were up 4.4 per

Some administration officials
had indicated they expected a

in June after recent improve

1 per cent in June.

from another key economic re

Mail bomb

YULEE, Fla. (AP) — A team
of federal agents has been sent
to this Northeast Florida town
to try to find out who mailed a
letter bomb to Mr. and Mrs.

did it.
The package blew up as Linda
Holland, 24, opened it. She was

Thursday at a hospital in
Jacksonville, 20 miles south of

Some economists have ex
pressed concern that the na

steam in the second half of the
year and could undergo a sharp
slowdown, similar to the one in
1976 when unemployment began
climbing again after mid-year.
This could occur again if GNP

rate.
Unemployment did increase

“Then it blew up,” her hus

Holland, a construction work

might have sent the package.

Rvles criticizes ‘Price Patrol’
ATLANTA (AP) - State offi

group have joined the Federal
Trade Commission in charging
that the Kroger Co.’s “Price

Tim Ryles, administrator of
the Governor’s Office of Con

that the grocery company fails

The Price Patrol reports are

Ryles criticized the television

the average shopper’s grocery

with deceptive advertising
practices, largely because the
price comparisons do not in
clude the costs of meat and
produce. The Kroger spokes
man disputed the FTC charges,
saying the advertising is “run in
a fair and conscientious
manner.”
Ryles said he has held dis
cussions with Kroger officials
for the past four months and
that he hoped an out-of-court
settlement could be reached.
