Republicans Lose Bid on Quick Anti-Inflation Plan
House Democrats blocked a Republican move to fast track a four point anti inflation program. The vote 202 to 188 left the effort short of a two thirds majority and likely shelved it until 1948 as Democrats pressed for Truman admin price control and rationing powers. The GOP plan faced opposition from 26 of its own members and Rep. Vito Marcantonio. The administration proposed a voluntary approach focusing on wholesale prices with no new price agency.
