Truman vetoes bill warns inflation calls for new act
President Truman vetoed the proposed wartime price and stabilization bill, calling it inadequate to curb inflation and preserve a sound peacetime economy. He outlined three core provisions he favored: one year of stabilization with price controls, subsidies only for essential goods, and a national policy on subsidies, while opposing decontrol standards and a broad three-man reincontrol board. He urged action to prevent a repeat of wartime inflation and warned Congress against delaying such measures despite public weariness. The veto came as the Senate and House debated efforts to extend controls and avert economic disruption.

Bowles resigns as OPA director after tense Washington moments
Washington reports Bowles chose a surprising moment to resign as stabilization director amid congressional battles over the price extension bill. He sent his formal letter to President Truman amid speculation he hoped Congress would extend the OPA program. Bowles, long a foe of steel-price controls, had led OPA through war and postwar rationing shifts before becoming stabilization director. The move follows months of pressure and intensifying opposition in Congress.
