Ives Urges Standby Controls As Korean Crisis Deepens
Senator Ives urges Congress to grant the President stand-by wage price and rationing powers amid fears the Korean crisis signals a broader Soviet plan. He cites panic buying and shortages, while White House officials say no immediate controls are needed and Congress debates broader curbs. Taft opposes sweeping limits and seeks a narrowed bill with credit controls and plant seizure powers.

Arkansan pushes bill to levy on excess profits
Rep. Millis of Arkansas urges prompt action on an excess profits tax to curb profiteering tied to defense contracts. The plan would allow contract renegotiation after completion if profits seem too high, a method used in wartime. President Truman did not include an excess profits tax in his initial tax program, though Capitol sentiment favors quick action. The Senate finance committee will discuss the large tax bill next week, with possible moves to add an excess profits levy.
