House Votes for Automatic Price Control Plan
The House backed an automatic price and wage control system triggering ceilings if living costs rise five percent from June 15. President Truman condemned the plan as inviting higher prices, while the Senate weighs similar ideas. Debate included curbs on labor disputes and a possible 1951 termination date for the bill. Food prices rose 2 to 3 percent in mid-July, with meat leading the advance as retailers struggle to hold price lines.
