Administration Plans Price Controls Agency By Next April
Washington reports the administration asked Congress for 40 million dollars to build an agency ready by April 20 to handle selective price controls. A seven point program on credit controls and allocations would go into effect after the mobilization bill is signed, with provisions for price, rationing, and wage controls as needed. The plan envisions the new agency monitoring major industries and working with key groups to prepare for possible broader controls while avoiding immediate rationing.
