Truman Backers Press Limited Curbs Amid Mobilization Debate
In Washington on July 29 lawmakers debated Truman’s request for limited economic controls as backers fought rising sentiment for full wartime mobilization. In the House support for price controls and rationing stood strong, while the Senate delayed action to shape standby controls. Baruch urged immediate ceilings on everything, arguing price controls follow priority measures. The Labor and Commerce reports showed wholesale prices rising modestly and factory demand booming before the Korean outbreak. The Agriculture Department noted farm prices up 6.5 percent mid June to mid July, the sugar stockpile could grow, and Secretary Brannan warned against hoarding profiteers. President Truman asked Congress for 600 million to stockpile strategic materials and 18 million to recondition merchant ships, plus a rise to 675000 tons in synthetic rubber production.
