Truman Signals No WWII Style OPA Revival
President Truman said no revival of the OPA and that existing agencies will manage any emergencies from the Korean crisis. He favors discretionary powers for price and wage controls but wants them handled by Congress and federal agencies, not a new Price Administration office. The House moved toward a controls bill with debates over credit powers and limits on real estate and market speculation, while key wage and price provisions gain bipartisan support.
