House Edges Out Wage Price Controls With Hoarding Ban
The House removed wage price rationing from its economic controls bill and added a criminal hoarding offense for essential goods. The Rogers amendment, approved 112 to 46, targets foods, wearables, tires, fuel, and other essentials with up to a 10000 dollar fine or one year in jail. The measure does not apply to commodity exchanges. President Truman criticized the prior plan, warning it could trigger inflation and limit executive leeway. House Republicans and many Southern Democrats joined in reversing price and wage control proposals.
