WASHINGTON (AP) Liv. ing costs, rising at near Korean War speed, jumped four per cent in March tenths government official virtually ruled out any possibility of federal price controls. The latest round of increases capped six months of price hikes running at a 4 per cent annual rate, highest since 1951 when Korean War price and wage lids were clamped on the economy, "It seems, almost out of the question, the prospects for peace in Vietnam, that price controls would be instituted at this said Asst. Commissioner Arnold Chase of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But a further acceleration of economic pressures, partly due to wage hikes, could more of the increases to become" frozen into the nation's price structure, Chase The rise in living costs 17 years ago that led to Korean War controls was nearly 5 per cent.

INDEX PUSHED UP Last month's price increase for food, clothing, housing, medical care and a host of other family costs pushed the government's Consumer Index, based on 1957-59 prices, to 119,5. Thus it cost $11.95 last month for every $10 worth of goods and services a decade ago. making the 1957-59 dollar worth 83.7 cents in March. The rise in living costs more than wiped out the average March pay gain of some 43 million American rank-and-file workers, which rose a penny an hour and 38 cents a week to a record weekly high of $104.43. After allowance for the rise in prices, the average breadwinner lost 6 cents week in purchasing power.

The biggest impact the parade of price hikes in March stemmed from an average rise of six-tenths of one per cent for a broad range of consumer services. These included medical care. rent, dry cleaning, shoe repair, auto repair and maintenance, college tuition and most recreation. Price increases for food, up four -tenths of one per cent, and clothing, seven-tenths higher, also contributed heavily to the jover-all rise in living costs. Higher pork, poultry and fresh fruit prices caused most the retail increase in groceries, the bureau said, "Whoesale apparel and accessories prices were up fourtenths of one per cent as wages and material costs increased," it said.

It was the fifth satellite to be launched this week and the tenth series instrument package orbited in April.

The Soviets have also launched a "Molyniya One" communications satellite and put their Luna-14 ship into orbit around the moon this month. Prof. Georgi Pokrovsky wrote in Nedelya, the weekend supplement of the government newspaper Izvestia, that interlinked satellites might form artiifcial "Saturn rings" around the earth some day. Pokrovsky, said that the fully of automatic linkup April 15 Cosmos satellites 212 and 213 paved the way for construction of orbiting interconnected space stations of super-thin plastic shells inflated with low pressure gas. The Soviet Union so far has a monopoly on the automatic orbital coupling experience.

Soviet scientists first linked satellites in orbit in October, 1967, with Cosmos 186 and 188. Joe C. Hall Dies After Long Illness Joe C. Hall. 88.
