Scrapping Wage Controls Speeded by Leaders
Washington reports an order to accelerate removal of wage controls while the agriculture department mulls eliminating price ceilings on remaining controlled foods. Officials foresee broad decontrol, with meat measures already loosened and a possible end to most price controls. Meat availability is expected to rise in about ten days, though shortages may persist through 1946. The reconversion advisory board and White House press secretary confirm ongoing moves toward broader wage and price decontrol.
