Senate panel limits Truman wage price control powers
The Senate Banking Committee approved a wage price control bill by 12 to 1, keeping price rollbacks to the Jan 24 to Feb 24 average and denying broader powers. Maybank will present the bill to the Senate with debate set to begin Monday. Moody says a separate bill will address defense contracts for small businesses. The defense production act expires June 30, and beef prices face a new 10 percent rollback.
