Urges Truman Use Controls On Wages And Prices
Senator Martin urged President Truman to invoke wage and price controls quickly and across the board if Congress grants authority. A Senate House conference on anti inflation legislation remained deadlocked over whether to grant sweeping control power, with a Tuesday meeting expected to shape compromises or wipe out rationing provisions. Administration favors selective early controls. Truman seeks quick passage of other mobilization measures. If deadlock persists, administration plans to strike wage price rationing from the bill.
