Bowles seeks power to set ceiling on homes and sites
Price Chief Chester Bowles announced plans to ask Congress for authority to fix ceiling prices on houses and building sites to prevent an inflationary boom. Reconversion Chief John W Snyder had lifted construction limits, fearing speculative building could breach inflation controls. Bowles warned that unchecked prices could cheat millions of veterans planning postwar homes, noting 1.5 million servicemen married during the war and the GI Bill being eroded by high costs. He also said rent controls will remain until rent inflation danger passes.
