Baruch warns against scrapping price and wage controls
Bernard Baruch today warned that removal of price wage and rent controls would be a tragic blow to national defense efforts. In a letter to Senator Moody he argued the choice is national interest over selfish gain and stressed defense must come first. The Wage Stabilization Board meanwhile approved a four cent hourly raise for 360000 General Motors workers while delaying broader policy on general wage increases as talks continue.
