President Expected To Blast Congress Again Before Signing Bills
The White House stayed silent on Truman's plan for attacking the 80th Congress. Advisors expect him to sign housing and anti inflation bills but criticize them as inadequate. Press Secretary Ross said the president's attitude is for observers to infer. The housing bill and anti inflation bill move through normal departmental review before reaching him. Party leaders urge signing, while Truman is expected to frame the measures as insufficient, signaling a pointed critique when he acts.
