"Too late," and "confession of failure" were among the first Republican comments last night on President Truman's removal of meat controls.
Representative Curtis (R-Neb) said "The action is a confession of failure by the Democrats of their planned economy."
On the Democratic side, Representative Harris (Ark) remarked the "controls on meat have been a complete failure since they were reimposed" and "I don't see that the President could have taken any other course." Harris added the move "might well signal the start not only of further decontrol under the law but also a move to terminate the war emergency."
And Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D-Utah) said that "I trust President Truman's action will bring the result he expects and that it will turn out for the benefit of the whole country."
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) commented that removal of the meat ceilings is "what I have been urging all along."
