The CIO-PAC notes Republicans in Congress followed Governor Dewey's guidance to delay action after a brief special session. Dewey urged lawmakers to stay about a week, then go home, while his secretary issued a statement urging consideration of President Truman's proposals. No effective housing or price measures were enacted.
