After reversals in both the Senate Banking Committee and the House, President Truman is poised to accept standby wage and price controls and rationing powers, while opponents pushed automatic triggers. The House meanwhile criminalized hoarding with a year prison term and a $10,000 fine amid panic-buying notes as the Agriculture Department sells surplus perishables at nominal prices to UN FAO members.

Congress May Roll Its Own Tax Program
Washington AP Congress may author its own tax rules to raise 5 billion dollars in new revenue urged by President Truman. Senate Finance Committee shows drift from White House plans, approving about 148 million in tax revisions while rejecting 176 million in House changes. Some members anticipate lowering a proposed withholding tax on corporate dividends that would raise about 175 million. Truman proposed 3 billion from individuals 1.5 billion from corporate incomes and 500 million from other provisions already approved by the House. The remaining excise tax cut from before the Korean War is referenced as part of the plan.

Senate Passes Spending Bill Consolidates Federal Funds
The Senate approved a $34.24 billion spending bill by voice vote, uniting most federal appropriations for the year into a single package to be reconciled with a smaller House measure. The move, first of its kind, drew mixed reactions from Democrats and Republicans as foreign aid funds were split for separate consideration. The total is about $1.92 billion below Truman’s request and roughly $0.5 billion above the House’s prior approval, excluding foreign program cash and contract authority.
