Truman Proposes Economic Plan Amid Unemployment Rise
Washington July 9 AP A congressional subcommittee reports rising unemployment but says levels are not unreasonably high and more people work than in any year. President Truman will send a midyear economic report to Congress detailing a plan to boost production and curb joblessness. A separate Agriculture Department note shows farmers spent 10 percent less in early 1949 than 1948, signaling a potential farm price drop if production stays high. Eight Democratic senators plan an economic expansion act including federal loans, grants, and a $15 billion public works program to target unemployment, though not yet officially endorsed by the administration.
