Truman outlines 1952 legislative program for defense and economy
President Truman presents a wide ranging 1952 program calling for a two year extension of the Defense Production Act and expansion of price and credit controls. He seeks a five billion dollar tax hike, measures to boost production and employment, aid to free nations, housing, labor reform, and expanded federal aid to education health and public works while warning of large deficits. He notes Congress will likely resist rate increases and urges revenue raised by closing loopholes to help close the gap.
