Senator Morse Attacks Steel Industry and Big Business
Senator Morse accuses the steel industry and large firms of pushing a feudal system in the name of private enterprise. He cites lavish corporate expenses and warns of a federal sales tax burden on the common people while Congress debates the steel seizure and wage price controls. The Senate rejects a move to halt the seizure, with 47 senators voting for and 29 against. A Banking Committee inquiry into government handling of the steel dispute is ordered, with expectations that wage and price controls will continue.
