White House eyes 30 day wage and price freeze plan
Washington reports a 30 day wage and price freeze awaited White House approval with plans to extend controls by March 1. DiSalle would require 30 day notices of price increases for all firms, freezing wages and the market basket at current levels, while Hoover leads enforcement with about 15 000 agents. The move hinges on President Truman's approval and possible retractive orders to curb last minute boosts.
