European Wheat Shortfall and Bi partisan Push for Peace
European wheat output will fall short of needs with imports from the U S Canada and Argentina likely. Sen Tom Connally and Sen Arthur Vandenberg head to Paris to support Byrnes in a bipartisan push for postwar peace. The U S state department criticizes Yugoslavia over attacks on American planes while Truman faces Congress over Jewish refugee admissions. OPA restores ceilings on meat and soybean products and raises prices on radios stoves cameras and appliances as part of price control realignment.
