Demand For Steel In War Estimated
Washington reports that even with the new rearmament program the military forecasts steel intake at five to six percent of national production. A munitions board official says this supports the goal of arming planes ships skis guns and other weapons for President Truman’s supplemental military aid without harming civilian economy. The board believes steel mills can redirect some output to civilian use while maintaining essential defense needs and continue support for the Korean War and mobilization without depleting strategic stockpiles.

Measure Goes To Senate Economic Controls Bill
A broad House approved grant of authority for President Truman to impose wage price rationing controls moves to the Senate. Democratic leaders predict defeat for GOP attempts to trim it while administration leaders expect passage of a similar mobilization bill. The measure would authorize wage price curbs, rationing, allocation of scarce materials, defense contract priority, and possible requisition of private plants, plus a $2.6 billion defense program and consumer credit and housing controls. Senate debate begins with Taft blasting the House provision granting executive discretion on how such controls would be used.
