Steel price hike tops Truman actions in steel row
The government ordered about a $3 a ton increase in steel prices while Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall said no justification for further rises. Putnam directed action under Capehart to allow price changes reflecting cost shifts since last July. The move followed wage-raise questions and a pending pay recommendation for the seized industry. Also reported were impeachment moves, labor and business denouncements, and publishers challenging presidential seizure power.
