GOP Passes Anti-Inflation Bill In House Clash With Truman
The House approved the GOP anti-inflation bill by 264 to 9, challenging President Truman as Congress moves toward adjournment. The measure seeks wartime installment controls and tighter bank credit, while ignoring Truman’s demand for broad price and rationing powers. The action accompanies a rift over housing legislation arising from the Taft-Elow-White plan and McCarthy backed proposals, amid calls to address high living costs.
