Economists predict possible 13 percent inflation rate
American pockctbooks arc likely to take still further
drubbing from Inflation through the end of the'year,
especially from petroleum prices, economists in and out
of government predict.
How consumers fared in October was being announced
Tuesday with release of the Labor Departments Consumer
Price Index, which was up 1.1 percent in September.
Prices have been rising at least 1 percent a month since
the start of the year, and economists said Monday they
expect no change in that pace before January.
"We're predicting that prices will increase at an annual
rate of 13 percent to 135 percent in the fourth quarter,

Cough, director of national forecasting for Data Re
sources Inc., in Lexington, Mass., blamed the energy price
wave coming out of the summer." He added that the
nation "probably will see some psychological price
increases associated with the disruption of oil imports
from Iran." The Carter administration had hoped to hold
inflation below last year's 9 percent increase. But in July,
it admitted prices would rise at least 10.6 percent this
year. In recent weeks, administration officials have been
even more pessimistic.
Bill relief
WASHINGTON - Millions of poor Americans, strap
ped to pay rising fuel bills, will be the recipients of $1 35
billion in federal aid this winter under legislation President
Carter is signing into law. ,
Residents of, Cold-weather .states generally will get a
larger share of, the aid under the'.'ow Income Energy
' Assistance Program." The criteria to determine who is
eligible for much of the assistance, how much they will
get and In what form will vary greatly from state to state.
Carter staged a White House ceremony Monday to sign
the legislation, which differs substantially from what he
had proposed to Congress.
When Carter announced details' of his plan in Septem.
ber, he told a convention of retired people, "Thisfinan
cial help will be for everyone in our country who is most
needy. I know you'll appreciate that." .
Among the states receiving above-average aid will be
frigid New Hampshire, where the president faces the first
primary of the election year.
Carter's original proposal would have paid an average
of $100 per person or $200 per family to an estimated 7
million people with income at or slightly above the
poverty line. For a family of four, the ceiling for aid
would have been $9,000 a year.
