Armistice Seen as End of Price and Wage Controls
Sen. Aiken asserted that an armistice in Korea could end the need for price and wage controls. President Truman signed a stopgap bill extending controls to July 31, freezing ceilings and delaying rollbacks. OPS warned a rollback ban could cost consumers about 10 billion annually. Production materials tightened for defense, civilian goods spared for now. Aiken argued settlement would lower prices, reducing justification for controls.
