It compares with a three-tenths of one per cent increase in August and a two-tenths of one per cent increase in September. The October increase puts the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index 3.8 per cent above a year ago, the smallest 12-month change in more than three and a half years. While prices crept upward despite the freeze, the Labor Department also said that average weekly earnings for private nonfarm jobs declined two pennies to $129.11. The increase in prices for October was slightly more than usual for this time of year. After taking seasonal factors into account the Bureau of Labor Statistics figured the price rise at an adjusted one-tenth of one per cent increase.

It said this was the smallest seasonally adjusted rise since April J967. unadjusted figures showed that food prices declined in October by two-tenths of one per cent while cost of housing rose three-tenths ot one per cent, apparel went up eight-tenths of one per cent and transportation rose seven-tenths of one per cent. The price of new cars went up 3.7 per cent in October because of smaller discounts offered by dealers on 1972 cars, the BLS said. Businessmen were allowed lo charge higher prices during the freeze if it was their normal practice to do at that time of year. However, the BLS said it had no way of determining whether the price increases it detected were legal or not.
