I NEW YORK tffl The public is fighting a running battle against inflation as 1948 enters its second half.

The first six months had. us about everything necessary to make them among the most memorable and- important in the nation's peacetime economic history. Theree was a sharp drop in commodity prices in February that had economists believing inflation might be halted. And then a rise that carried them almost to pre- break peaks. Basic industries refused a hikes and reduced some prices for a while.

Then, President rearmameng program came along in March, inflation continued, prices increased, wages started up again. The New York Stock Exchange languished in the doldrums, for days cm end. But a spectacular advance in May carried the price level to the highest in 21 months. Now, at mid-year, the nation's economy is in high gear. A third round of wage increases is well underway.

Prices both consumer and industrial are moving toward earlier peaks or above them. Construction costs climb as building booms. The home buyer has a bigger selection to choose from. But houses are costing him more and mortgage money Is tighter. Everyone appears to on buying for automobiles, homes, food and gasoline, the Commerce Department says.
