Congress Had To Choose One By Peter Edson
A comparison of two economic programs for Congress is presented. One is the Truman administration plan backed by Defense Mobilization Director Wilson and Economic Stabilization Director Johnston, supported by cabinet and many Democrats. The opposing plan, backed by the National Association of Manufacturers, the U S Chamber of Commerce, and the American Farm Bureau Federation, enjoys majorities in both houses. The piece outlines defense spending growth from 18 to 65 billion, potential inflation, and proposed measures including tax increases, budget balance, and price wage controls. It cites NAM and Farm Bureau critics and concludes with editorials from NAM and Farm Bureau statements via NEA Service.

Truman signs new controls bill to sustain defense program
President Truman explained he signed the inflation and production controls measure to prevent the defense program from dying. He noted he would have vetoed it if inflation controls alone had been included, as the law also grants the government authority to manage production, channel materials, and aid industry in the national defense interest.
