Roosevelt outlines NRA pullback and price controls in towns
Washington reports President Roosevelt orders a broad NRA retreat from small villages and towns while keeping chain stores under code oversight. The retail code introduces price controls and aims to shield merchants from cutthroat competition, with exceptions for large small factories and interstate firms. The move aligns with a managed currency plan to raise farm and manufacturer prices by stabilizing money value. Jesse Jones and Harvey Courh join the White House discussions as the plan advances.
