Credit Controls Signed as Inflation Fight Triggers Debate
President Truman signed the credit curbs into law, calling the move a partial step to curb inflation. The act restricts consumer credit and bank reserves, with date of effect to be set by the Federal Reserve this week. Some rules may return, with decisions on 15 versus 18 month pay plans still undecided. The measure aims to curb purchases on credit and loans, affecting car loans and big appliances. Opposition claims missteps risk peacetime freedoms, while supporters say it slows inflation and shields consumers. Regular charge accounts remain unaffected.
