The 10 per cent price cuts on seven major food items will become come effective June 1. But once machinery for rolling back, prices Is set into motion, an office of price administration spokesman said, it can be used on any item within a few days. The present objective of Price Administrator Prentiss Brown, k who announced the program last night, is said to be return of the cost of living to the Sept. 15, 1942 level by July 1 A month after the first are effective. According to the bureau of , labor statistics, the spokesman said, -- the cost of living has increased 2.6 per cent since last Septemeber. OPA hopes to reduce it by 2.5 per cent during the next two months, he said. "The greatest Increases are present in the food line, an OPA spokesman said. "That is where OPA will strike and strike hard. We expect to knock the price of fresh vegetables down 30 per cent, and in some cases 40 per cent." Reductions in many prices will be effected next Monday by imposition of new ceilings. The roll back in June is expected to make these additional savings to consumers: beef and veal, three cents a pound; pork, four cents a pound; butter between four and five cents a pound; coffee, about three cents a pound. The government will become a purchaser of foods under the program which will be finaneed by a government level. subsidy at the processor Thus growers and processors and handlers of food need not fear that they will have to shoulder benefits which the consumer will enjoy, although it is not expected that subsidies will be used in rolling back vegetable prices.
