Truman Splits Allocation Plan Across Four Agencies
President Truman assigns four federal departments to fashion voluntary industry wide allocation programs for scarce items under the Taft Wolcott act. Agriculture Secretary Anderson handles farm products, Interior Secretary Krug fuels, J Monroe Johnson oversees transportation facilities, Commerce Secretary Harriman covers other products. An industry hearing process precedes any agreement and antitrust immunity requires attorney general approval. The plan mirrors wartime WPB mechanics with advisory committees and a coordinating working group.
