Everything We Buy Liable to Rationing
Washington January 7 1941 Everything Americans buy became liable to rationing today and price fixing was near. The War Production Board gave Acting Price Administrator Leon Henderson authority to ration retail commodities as Congress moved toward mid amended price controls. Henderson’s power could fix ceilings on 72 commodities and enforce licenses for buyers and sellers with penalties for violators. Farmers faced parity guidance while Wickard forecast parity for 1942 and urged restraint to avoid future price swings.
