Republicans Draft Substitutes For Truman Inflation Plan
Senate Republicans work on a substitute for the Truman inflation program focusing on voluntary allocation of scarce items like steel, with Taft aiming to finalize the plan over the weekend for Republican conferences. Meanwhile the House debated European aid funding, with the Foreign Affairs Committee recommending 590 million dollars and China getting 60 million, while some Michigan Republican Jonkman urged deep cuts. See Belgium near West Virginia size, 25 million workdays lost in 1946 fires, Kashmir famed for wool shawls, and Jaffa as Jerusalem’s Mediterranean port.
