Truman Calls Cost Bill Pitifully Inadequate
President Truman promised to sign the Republican anti inflation bill but called it pitifully inadequate to meet the grave peril facing the economy. Republicans defended voluntary steps as the bill’s backbone while the 1948 election year opened with heated debate over living costs and proposed remedies. The signing was announced in a Sunday statement, with a firm warning that Congress must provide stronger tools or risk a serious economic downturn. The measure takes effect upon signing and plans to curb distilling output as wartime powers resume, amid ongoing talks over a new conservation program.
