Truman asks Congress for 10 billion in Korean war program
President Truman sent a 5500 word message seeking a 10 billion defense and mobilization plan to supply men and materiel for Korea and to prepare for possible broader aggression. He urged home front priorities and higher taxes, with no immediate price controls. He warned of inflation and called for expanded production loans and tighter credit. The aim is to deter aggression and sustain global peace.
