Oscar L. Chapman, Undersecretary of the Interior, urged Congress to grant President Truman authority to ration and set prices for coal and oil if needed. He said voluntary conservation may suffice for petroleum, but coal requires transportation and export controls as a minimum, with allocation and price controls available in reserve. His testimony before the Senate House Economic Committee echoed earlier pleas from other administration officials.
