Discarding Controls Promises Cheaper Dollar, Johnston Says
Johnston told U S News and World Report that scrapping economic controls could drive the dollar from about 53 to 54 cents in 1939 terms down to 30 to 40 cents in ten years. He predicted a 5 to 7 billion dollar federal deficit this year and up to 20 to 25 billion next year, urging stronger controls to curb inflation. The piece notes House votes on extending wage and price controls amid a broader political fight over the controls program and Truman administration efforts to expand economic powers.
