President Eisenhower advances a third phase of free market policy by dismantling the Defense Production Administration and moving functions to the Office of Defense Mobilization. Dismissals go out to about 2000 federal wage and salary boards staff as decontrol of meat and other items looms, with broader price ceilings to be lifted on appliances clothing and footwear.
