A worldwide oil glut makes
large increase in energy costs
unlikely for some time,
although the nation’s reliance
on large amounts of imported
oil means the supply is never
certain.
The economists, however,
said the current strength of
the dollar overseas means the
United States is better pro-
tected against oil-price in-
creases than most other na-
tions.
Oil prices at the wholesale
level rose 1.6 percent in April
after surging 6.1 percent in
March — primarily due to
President Reagan's lifting of
most remaining controls on
domestic crude oil prices.
As for food, the Agriculture
Department has forecast
price increases of 10 percent

The new Don & Sybil Harr-
ington Cancer Center in
Amarillo will receive a uni-
que gift from Hereford and
Deaf Smith County if the
$125,000-project being under-
taken is a success.
James Sears, president of
First National Bank, helped
boost the project here this
week with a contribution to
Panhandle.
Doug Manning and Ed
Reinauer Jr. are heading up
the campaign work in
Hereford. Manning said ac-
tual figures are not complete,
but he estimates about $50,000
has been contributed or
pledged.

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Americans may get hit later
this year with fairly stiff in-
creases in food prices, but the
worst at the year’s oil infla-
tion probably is over,
economists say.
Government figures releas-
ed Friday showed oil prices
at the wholesale level rising
much more slowly in April.
Prices of finished wholesale

Overall, the Labor Depart-
ment’s producer price index
for finished goods rose 0.8
percent for the month - an
annual rate of 9.9 percent -
down sharply from March’s
1.3 percent increase.
The index, which measures
wholesale prices of goods
ready for retail sale, usually
gives a good indication of the
future direction consumer
prices will take. Several
economists said it is unlikely
the index will increase
dramatically again in the
near future.
"I believe we’re out of
double-digit territory,” said
Allen Sinai, a vice president
at Data Resources Inc., a
Massachusetts forecasting
firm.
Donald Ratajczak, director
of the Georgia State Universi-

Project, said. "Overall, the
inflation numbers should be
