Vetoed OPA Decontrol Bill Faces President and Bowles
The President vetoed the revised OPA price control bill, arguing it failed to safeguard against inflation and would legalize higher prices. Chester Bowles resigned as price administrator calling the measure unworkable. The plan kept rent controls and created a decontrol board with power to override agencies. Critics warned of renewed strikes and rising living costs without controls. The measure aimed to shift food pricing to the Agriculture Department, affecting farmers and workers, and was seen as a hard fought but imperfect compromise after wartime controls.
