Truman Expected To Sign Economic Controls Bill
Washington July 29 administration spokesman predicted President Truman will sign the economic controls bill as better than nothing. GOP leaders argued the bill will work if properly administered though it falls short of what the president asked. Spence and Halleck criticized provisions while acknowledging the bill as the best under the circumstances. Keating urged a new fight for livestock slaughtering quotas to curb black markets. The measure would relax credit controls and allow rent increases but block new slaughter quotas with a one year duration.
