House Edits and Debates Shape 1947 Price Controls
House leaders seek to amend a price control bill to ban future price rollbacks and allow a 20 percent rent rise from 1947 levels while resisting government limits on consumer installment buying. The bill faces a Monday vote and will go to a Senate House conference to reconcile differences. President Truman endorses the report urging restraint in wage, price, and rent controls amid inflation and defense costs.
