Truman era wage price controls move toward Senate
A House vote approved a broad mobilization bill giving President Truman authority to impose wage price controls and rationing with defense and economic powers. The measure authorizes material allocation, defense priority, and even taking over private plants, plus a $2 billion loan program to spur output and consumer credit controls. Senate debate opens amid GOP calls to curb discretionary power. Taft and Capehart threaten to strike or delay provisions while supporters push for quick enactment. A Chicago AFL meeting backs price controls at June levels and standby rationing authority.
