GOP Outlines Own Price Control Plan Amid Inflation Fight
Republican leaders announced a four point anti inflation program for the current session aiming to resume rationing and price controls if needed. A draft bill reflecting the president’s request was prepared but GOP members say it will not pass. The plan surfaces as the Senate Banking committee approves a measure to restore tight consumer credit controls through March 15 1949 with a 9 to 4 vote. The bill would empower the Fed to regulate installment buying while excluding regular charge accounts.

Try For Agreement On Republicans Own Cost Program
Republicans urged an anti inflation plan with voluntary measures as House and Senate leaders sought accord. Rep Gore accused the majority of rubber stamping for big business while Taft signaled a tendency to pigeonhole Harriman’s bill, which would empower rationing and allocations for scarce items but exclude standby price controls. The measure echoes Truman’s 10 point plan but omits standby price authority.
