heavy demand from American

Truman Scolds Congress
For Enacting Ineffective
Economic Controls Law
WASHINGTON, W—Resident
Truman said Tuesday the hew
economic controls law “weakens
our ability to hold down prices
and stabilize our economy.”
In a statement, Truman in ef
fect scolded Congress for not
giving him the stronger powers
he asked and lashed particularly
at provisions limiting the Wage
Stabilization Board to advisory
powers in the future.
t
The change as to the wage
board, Truman said, “destroys
the existing system without pro
viding any substitute.”
In this respect, he said, “The
Congress has opened a dangerous
gap in the mobilization program.”
Truman said if he had not
signed the measure, “our powers
to continue the defense produc
tion program, and the stabiliza
tion program would have expired.
The President declared:
“I asked Congress to strengthen
our stabilization machinery and
remove some of the ‘built-in’ in
flationary features, like the Cape
hart Amendment. But instead
the Congress has moved in the
other direction.”
Suger' is consumed in the
United States at the rate of about
95 pounds per year per capita.
