Pressure on Truman as Farm Bureau opposes price controls
Dallas dispatch reports the American Farm Bureau Federation urged President Truman to reject price and wage controls and rationing. Delegates at the 1950 convention pledged to press senators and Congressmen, with Allan B. Kline of Iowa urging "Don't let your senators push you around" and sending a telegram condemning price controls as unwise. A resolution supporting stable markets and fair prices was debated after a push to delete Roosevelt and Truman from the text.

President To Tell Emergency Plans
President Truman calls on Americans to unite in greater sacrifices to build up the free world’s military might. A site near Paducah Kentucky was picked for a 500 million atomic energy expansion as part of a broader drive to speed up defense. Officials say a national emergency declaration and selective price and wage controls may follow the president’s address outlining needed home front sacrifices.
