Baruch warns of tragedy if controls end
In a June 7 letter to Senator Moody, Bernard Baruch urged that removing price wage rent and other mobilization controls would be a tragic blow to the nation's defense buildup. Moody released the reply to reporters and planned to file it in the Banking Committee record as it weighs extending and expanding controls under the defense production act. The Wage Stabilization Board approved a four cent hourly raise for 350,000 GM workers to apply without triggering broader price hikes, while seeking a general wage policy. The board aims for a national formula, with labor advocates pushing for 15 percent. Price indices fell as wholesale food prices slid, though DiSalle said anti inflation controls kept the brakes on the economy.
