Congress Swinging
To All-Out
Mobilization Plan *
WASHINGTON, Consider
able support built up in Congress
today for a drive to put the coun
try under rationing and wage and
price control.
The idea is to substitute full
home-front mobilization for Presi
dent Truman’s limited economic >
control bill.
The House manking committee
approved the President’s plan, 20
to 1, late yesterday, but only after
it failed by a one-vote margin to
take instead the all-out economic
control plan proposed by elder
statesman Bernard M. Baruch.
The Baruch plan lost 10 to 9. *
Six Republicans and three Demo
crats supported it. Nine Demo
crats and one Republican opposed
it.
Rep; 'Kunkel (R.-(Pa.) author of
the all-out substitute, announced
immediately he will take the fight
to the House floor when the bill
comes up there next Tuesday. His
measure would roll back prices to
their lowest level between July
24 and 28,
Powerful support gathered be
hind the Baruch plan. One high
placed Democrat soid it might j
pass the House.
Chairman Vinson (D.-Ga.) of
the House armed services commit
j tee said “I am for the Baruch
plan. Otherwise there will be in
flation, absolutely out of con
trol.”
Meanwhile, the federal reserve
board reported that department
store sales last week ran 46 per
cent higher than in the same week
last year. Never before has such
a large increase been recorded.
Week before last the increase over
1949’s corresponding week was 25
per cent.
Also, the agriculture depart
ment said that sugar sales by pri
mary distributors jumped 37 per
cent in the first three weeks of
July as compared with the same
1949 period.
The department annou need
that, while there is already plenty
of sugar, the government will buy
remaining Cuban stocks. It said
this will give the U. S. a total
marketable supply of more than
8,450,000 tons—largest ever in any
one calendar year.
Dick Mickelson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. Mickelson of Nome, who
is with KFRB in Fairbanks, is
home for a while and enjoying
seeing his old friends again.
