Truman Signals Ten Month Wage Price Controls Extension
President Truman indicated to Democratic Congressional readers that he will sign reluctantly the bill extending wage price controls for ten months. The measure, reported by Speaker Sam Rayburn, extends rent controls for three or ten months under certain conditions.
