President Seeks War Powers Yet Not Tied by Congress
President Truman asked Congress to avoid automatic economic controls and pressed for standby authority to impose price and wage controls at his discretion. The House rejected a push for immediate wage price limits. Truman sent Nat Resources Board chair Symington to brief lawmakers and favors only contingent power to allocate materials for war. The Senate Banking Committee, led by Maybank, weighs a plan to trigger controls when the cost of living index hits a set level, but the president opposes this automatic approach.
