Truman housing plan proposals stalled in Congress
Washington December discussion notes President Truman’s plan to cap home prices faces delays as Congress debates authority to impose ceilings.

The plan aims to curb price rises amid housing scarcity while offering builders priority access to half of building materials to spur cheaper housing.
