He called for substandard wages to end and inflationary prices to be curbed, saying labor must lead in building secure abundance for all Americans with industry, labor, and government cooperating. Gen Carl Spaatz warned industry readiness, and the Pacusan Dreamboat flight from Honolulu to Cairo demonstrated broad air reach.

Beef Group Seeks Decontrol of Cattle Beef and Veal Prices
The beef advisory committee voted 11 to 1 to petition for decontrol of price ceilings on cattle beef and veal. Leaders Robert G. Thomas and Roscoe G. Haynie sign the appeal, arguing beef qualifies for decontrol under the price control act while ample cattle supply is cited as a condition. An unnamed dissenting member remains unnamed. The move comes as the OPA studies meat distribution rules to spread available meat more evenly, with no overall supply increase expected. Other items note Britain supplying 20 million pounds of meat for troops and President Truman seeking a nonprice-raising fix to the shortage.
