Bowles defends new wage price policy before House Banking
Chester Bowles outlined to the House Banking Committee the administration’s wage price plan saying it will work with limited effect on prices if the stabilization line does not break through. He urged immediate extension of price controls and actions to curb inflation in real estate while supporting the homes for veterans program and food subsidies. Bowles said the policy is not perfect but feasible given current conditions and warned against speculative fever as he described industry patterns that permit wage increases without broad price rises.
