Lawmakers Comment on OPA Board Picks and Food Price Edges
Nebraskan representative 10 Wherry criticized OPA while praising one pick and expressing limited knowledge of others. Senator Hawkes dismissed party, calling them New Dealish alongside McClellan who praised the trio. The decontrol board will decide if meat dairy and other items exempt from ceilings stay free of controls after August 20. Truman aimed for an unpacked jury as he urged confidence in board members. OPA revealed sweeping exemptions removing about half of food items from price control under the revival act. Ceilings were removed on products containing 20 percent or more meat dairy or egg content or cottonseed and soy derivatives. Ban on ceilings covers items produced largely from farms and OPA set 20 percent as substantial. This lifts price limits on mayonnaise dressings margarine vegetable shortenings gelatin lard canned chicken and powdered eggs but not cheese ice cream soy products or bread. OPA price increases slowed except a $2 rise for pig iron. Porter told consumers the new law would curb runaway inflation though food and clothing prices will rise.
