Evaders Face Price Freeze and Wage Formula Plan
The administration announced a nationwide price freeze and said evaders will face mandatory controls at the earliest feasible time. A wage formula to restrain excessive pay boosts will be issued soon, while West Coast oil firms were asked to suspend a 25 cent per barrel crude price rise and 40 refineries to forego gasoline and oil price increases. Industry would face checks on key sectors, with voluntary compliance urged and consumer reports guiding enforcement. The plan sets a floor not lower than December 1, 1950 for future mandatory controls and seeks a rollback of unjust price jumps since December 1. Democrats outlined fair standards and a voluntary freeze to avoid government action.
