Automatic Curbs Approved by Senate Banking Committee
The Senate Banking Committee backed automatic price and wage controls plus rationing if living costs rise beyond a set point. The decision reversed an earlier vote favoring standby presidential powers and added a jail term and fines for hoarders and black marketers. Senator Fulbright supported the plan, linking it to broader economic controls.

Truman backs flexible standby powers in price controls debate
President Truman signaled no objection to adding standby powers if they do not hinder existing controls and must be flexible in tightness timing and administration. Fulbright floated targeted authority to curb prices in specific industries or commodities, while overall price wage rationing would stay in check if costs rise beyond a set point. Capehart’s six month price freeze proposal failed on a voice vote. Other moves include potential blanket rent controls tied to mobilization and tighter material controls for armament making.
