CONIROl SYSTEM -
Can Impose Measure
Under'Broad Power. De
fense To Cost Over $30
Billion Annually.
Washington, Sept. 9—President
Triknan Saturday night set up a
powerful new wage-price-produc
tion agency to steer the nation
through a mighty defense program
that may last for many years and
cost far more than $30,000,000,000
annually.
Warning that the fight against
Communist aggression will demand
sacrifices from every American, the
President declared that price and
wage controls will be imposed “vig
orously and promptly” if either
wages or prices get out of hand.
And he served notice that indus
try “to the extent necessary” will
have to stop making some civilian
goods and begin turning out military
equipment.
In a radio-television address to the I
nation, the chief executive called I
for these further steps to spur pro-'
duction, keep inflation in check and,
put the mobilization program on a
pay-as-you-go basis:
1 Higher Uses for everybody Mr.j
Truman said his call for a 13,000,-;
