Truman Attacks GOP as Do Nothing Congress
President Truman denounces the 80th Congress as a do nothing body and brands the spy inquiry a red herring intended to distract from price and housing inaction.

The president notes slow committee response and warns of continued price pressures as crops improve gradually. Winds farmers used about one sixth of total limestone tonnage in 1947.
