Truman signs three more bills and calls them better than nothing
President Truman signs three measures, a federal pay raise, a 1950 farm support extension, and a two year extension for atomic energy commissioners. He says the bills are not ideal but preferable to no action as Congress fails to curb living costs. The pay raise targets postal and civil service workers. The farm bill keeps current support prices through 1950 before lower crop prices take effect.
