Solons Yield to Roosevelt On Inflation
Washington reports President Roosevelt won a major victory as senate and house banking committees approved measures expanding presidential power to stabilize wages and prices. The senate plan would empower the President to set wage levels. the house version uses a 15 percent cap above 1941 January 1 for wage increases. Both bills push for control of farm prices and labor costs, with discretionary adjustments to prevent inequities. House leaders acknowledge possible limits on net income to 25000 annually, though they expect the President to interpret the cap restric tions within his discretion.
