Putnam Rejects Curbs Abolition
Washington November 28. Economic Stabilizer Putnam rejected calls from a top price official to wipe out all wage controls and most price curbs. He said such a move would be premature and that the control program is not in danger. The aide noted internal disagreement and said the recommendation reflected one official’s personal view, not White House policy. The memorandum urged ending general curbs within 96 days while retaining selective ceilings for defense materials, warning broad controls could spur inflation.
