The June 1946 political clash centers on extending price and rent controls. President Truman appeals to Congress to continue control long enough to craft a workable bill while Bowles resigns in protest. The compromise bill keeps some controls on agriculture under Secretary of Agriculture and allows higher ceilings for manufacturers, with general price hikes to follow in 30 to 60 days. An independent board may override key agency powers.
