Decline In Living Costs Is Reported WASHINGTON (AP) Lower prices for clothing, new cars, eggs and most meats brought a slight decline in living costs in January. It was the second straight monthly dip in the living cost index. Even so, the index is still just a little under its record high. And, although down from December, the January living cost level was a record high for a January. The Labor Department reported today the index dropped one-tenth of one per cent in January to 125.4 per cent of the 1947-49 base period.

This is the lowest living cost level since September but it is 1.3 per cent above a year earlier. The slight change will have this effect on wages of various workers whose union contracts provide for wage adjustments geared to the index: Wage of about 60,000 workers in aircraft and farm machinery industries will be reduced, in most cases by one cent an hour. About 14,000 trucking industry workers will receive a one per cent hour raise on a different adjustment basis. There will be no wage change for about one million workers in the auto and related products industries. The Labor Department also reported that spendable earnings of factory workers remained at a record high in January.

This is contrary to the seasonal tendency and is despite a raise of one-half of one per cent in the social security tax. Spendable net paychecks after tax $82.33 a week in January for a worker heading a family of four, and $74.74 for the worker.
