Truman signs credit curbs bill amid inflation fight
President Truman signs the inflation control bill and signals an effective date to be set later by the Federal Reserve Board. The measure grants new powers to regulate consumer credit and reserve requirements while outlining down payments for purchases such as cars and appliances. The administration argues the act is a modest step toward stabilizing prices, versus wartime-style controls. The plan faces political clash as Republicans criticize the proposal and defend inflation remedies.
