A column criticizes postwar antitrust actions against large firms. It argues government moves to break up giants like General Electric and U S Steel distort free enterprise, noting earlier wartime praise for big industry and highlighting the interdependence of large firms with vast networks of small suppliers and customers.

Washington observers say Truman and Brannan press a two billion dollar squeeze to push fair deal through a hostile Congress. The plan hinges on a CCC funding surge, with Brannan warning urgent needs by May and August, while Southern Democrats resist.
