Democrats Mixed Up on Rationing by JACK BELL
Washington October 17 Truman appeared to split his party over government price controls while campaigning in 1948. He hinted at figures on price rises and argued rationing and rent controls resemble a police state, leaving Democrats and Republicans confused.

Party members questioned whether Truman would back rent control and broader price measures, amid debates in Congress and within the New Deal wing.
