Truman Plans Tighter Belts Speech Friday
President Truman announced a Friday 9 p.m. EST broadcast to explain leaner times as a home front mobilization bill moves to approval. Conference leaders predict passage of the defense production act of 1950 with a ten month grant of war powers and emergency controls. He asked Congress for 60.09 million dollars to cover administration of patrols and related wartime powers. The bill would curb certain credits and output to support the Korean war, with price ceilings possible under wage controls, and authorized consumer rationing though not currently needed. Senate Republicans conceded defeat on broader economic controls while a compromise allows ceilings on specific goods if tied to wage restrictions.
