Roosevelt Endorses Stabilization Report On Costs And Wages

The report cites progress since the hold-the-line order and credits price reductions in foods for offsetting clothing increases while warnings of possible inflation are dismissed as context.

Teamwork urged to meet 1944 farm transport goals
Kansas City April 7 producers and truckers must work together to move this year s farm output to markets. Officials from ODT AAA War Food Administration and extension services attended a meeting on farm vehicle transport.
