Truman appoints 14 to Wage Stabilization Board

President Truman named 14 members to a new Wage Stabilization Board that lacks power to resolve nationwide labor disputes. Two new public members Archibald Cox and Harold L. Enarson join, with four more members to be named later. The old board, led by Nathan Fein singer, expired after Congress disbanded it amid steel dispute backlash.
