Expanded wartime power bill passes House amid inflation fears
The House approved by 383 to 12 a broad bill granting the President powers to control wages and prices and rationing with discretionary use. It authorizes defense priority, loans up to 2 billion, and consumer credit controls while limiting real estate credit to new construction. Hoarding food and necessities would be a crime. The measure also anticipates new wartime taxes and depends on inflation trends and public behavior. Our Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harper accompanied Dan Wiley to Hondo and San Antonio before returning.
