Consumer price increase
lowest in seven months
WASHINGTON (AP) — Consumer prices rose in July
by the smallest amount in seven months as lower costs for
producing food began showing up at supermarket shelves,
the government said today.
The July increase of four-lOths of 1 per cent in the Con
sumer Price Index was the lowest since a similar rise in
December 1976, the Labor Department said.
Food prices last month were listed as up one-lOth of 1
per cent last month, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
Increases of seven-lOths were recorded in May and eight
ieths in June.
In a second government report out today, the Com
merce Department is issuing a revised estimate of the
nation’s Gross National Product. An earlier report said
the GNP grew during the quarter at an annual rate of 6.4
per cent.
Despite the improvement in the inflation outlook of the
Consumer Price Index, workers spendable earnings were
reported down slightly in July. The average worker’s
purchasing power declined one-tenth of 1 per cent, mainly
because of the decline in the average number of hours
worked, the Labor Department said.
The consumer price report showed that other com
modities, such as household goods and autos also rose one
10th of one per cent in July, but these had not contributed
to the recent inflationary spiral as much as food.
The administration is counting on slower increases in
food prices to reduce the inflation rate from 10 per cent at
the beginning of the year to 6 per cent at the year’s end.
Is portable TV
really portable?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Ever
get the feeling that the guy who
stamped “portable” on your
television must have been built
like King Kong?
You’re not alone. Prompted
by what it calls a “common
consumer headache,” the gov
ernment is systematically try
ing to figure out what’s portable
and what isn’t.
In a project conducted by the
National Bureau of Standards,
several agency workers have
volunteered to spend time lug
ging boxes of lead shot around
the office.
The study grew out of the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
of 1975, which gives the Federal
Trade Commission the power to
say when a product can be
guaranteed as portable.
The definition can be impor-
Embezzle
suspect
free on bond
WASHINGTON (AP) - A
low-level federal bureaucrat,
charged with embezzling $850,-
000 in mass transit grants ear
marked for the Atlanta, Ga.,
rapid transit system, has been
released from jail on 950,000
bond.
U.S. Magistrate Henry Ken
nedy Jr. on Thursday released
William Sibert, arrested in Las
Vegas, Nev., two weeks ago,
after Sibert spent two days
helping government
prosecutors figure out where
the money went.
Prosecutors said they are now
able to account for all but
$30,000 to 980,000.
Sibert, according to - the FBI,
used the money to buy a new
home in suburban Maryland, a
number of luxury autos, a house
boat and lavish gifts for friends.

tant, since purchasers of goods
guaranteed as “portable” can
be required to haul them in for
repairs before the guarantee
does any good.
The FTC turned to the stand
ards bureau and researchers
Joel J. Kramer and Patrick J.
Meguire, who gathered 69 men
and women volunteers of varied
age and size for their project.
So what’s portable? To the
researchers, a television, air
conditioner microwave oven or
other product is portable if it
can be carried by most con
sumers at least one city block
“without excessive strain or ex
haustion” and without using
such aids as dollies or carts.
The researchers filled wooden
cubes with different weights of
lead shot. The volunteers then
carried the boxes — some about
11 inches on a side and others
about 16 inches —the length of a
city block, through a door they
had to open and up a flight of
stairs.
The researchers said they fig
ured their test requirement
equaled the worst route a con
sumer could be expected to fol
low in returning a product for
repairs.
They concluded that a per
son’s sex and the way he han
dled a box, rather than age or
the size of the container, are the
biggest determinants of what
can be carried comfortably.
The researchers said the av
erage maximum weight consid
ered reasonable by the men
taking part in the tests was 44.8
pounds, while for women it was
31.2 pounds.
Roughly 90 per cent of the
participants said they could
carry 23.5 pounds with little dif
ficulty.
And Kramer and Meguire
aren’t finished yet. They now
are studying what size products
are “acceptable.” They then
hope to work out a “portability
index number” that would com
bine weight and size to tell a
potential customer what he
could carry easily.
The index could be attached
to a tag or label on products
guaranteed as portable. Offi
cials hope to complete their
work this fall.
If averaged out over the entire year, the July increase
would mean a 4.8 per cent rate of inflation, a considerable
improvement over the first half. Consumer prices had
increased six-lOths of one per cent in each of the last two
months.
The slower rise in food prices was expected by
economists after farmers began receiving less for their
crops than in the past three months.
Food bought in grocery stores declined one-lOth of one
per cent, the first drop since last November. The main
contributors were lower prices for beef, poutlry, nork,
fresh fruits, vegetables, sugar and ground coffee.
Food bought away from home, such as in restaurants,
rose four-lOths of one per cent, less than half the average
monthly increase in the first six months of the year.
The biggest contributor to inflation last month was in
services, which rose eight-lOths of one per cent, about the
same climb as for the past five months. Mortgage interest
costs and charges for natural gas and electricty increased
sharply. Medical care services and transportation ser
vices continued rising.
The prices of gasoline and motor oil dropped three-lOths
of one per cent in July, about the same as in June, the
department said. Prices rose two-lOths of one per cent for
new cars, three-lOths for clothing and six-lOths for fuel oil
and coal.
The over-all Consumer Price Index stood at 182.6,
meaning that it cost 9182.60 to buy goods that 9100 would
have purchased in 1967.

Topping stabbed 33 times
MIAMI (AP) - Robert Reed
Topping, the son of former New
York Yankees owner Dan Top
ping Sr., was stabbed to death
and his body thrown from an
auto shortly after he arrived
here to buy drugs, say police.
Barry Adler, 18, was charged
with first-degree murder, rob
bery and kidnaping in con
nection with the case. Andrew
Schell, 18, was charged as an
accessory to murder. Both
Miami-area men were being
held in the Dade County jail.
Police said Thursday that the

Featuring Big Don Henry, singer.
20-year-old Topping was
stabbed 33 times and had his
throat slashed commando-style
less than 30 minutes after he
arrived here Tuesday evening.
His hands and arms were
slashed repeatedly when the
young Topping apparently tried
to ward off his attackers, said
Asst. Dade County Medical Ex
amier Dr. Stanley Kessler.
Topping had made almost two
dozen narcotics buying trips
here in the last six months, said
homocide detectives.
