Baruch urges U S to maintain price controls in defense effort
Washington June 7 AP Bernard Baruch warns that removal of price wage rent and other mobilization controls would deal a mortal blow to national defense. In a letter to Senator Moody he stresses national interest over selfish concerns and cautions higher taxes and inflation if controls end. Moody, reviewing the record on extending the defense production act, quotes Baruch who says ending controls could worsen long term costs despite short term profiteering risks. The wage panel meanwhile approves a four cent hourly rise for 350000 GM workers while delaying a general policy on broader wage increases.
