Wage and Price Controls Extended By Congress
Congress passes a compromise bill extending wage and price controls to April 30, 1953 with decontrol of canned fruits and vegetables. It tightens credit rules, restructures the Wage Stabilization Board, and outlines housing and rent provisions while monitoring allied actions in Korea and the cost of political campaigns.

Wheat Price Supports and Berlin visit dominate headlines
Wheat price supports for the 1952 crop average 2.20 a bushel, up from 2.18 last year and 1.99 in 1950, with July 1 parity at 2.45. Reports of warehouse dumps in Kansas reflect storage strain amid bumper crops. Acheson’s Berlin trip yielded a strong Western defense pledge, while a Truman order limits recruiting of deferred farm workers and grants temporary craft apprenticeships. Stevenson signals possible acceptance of a draft nomination.
