The largest employment figure in history was re

There was just one flaw in the picture, a flaw which many feared might spread like a can- cerous growth. President. Harry S. Truman put it in words in his message vetoing the tax cut bill when he said:

Strains in the price structure appeared in a few spots but they could be significant:
Coal Prices Up Soft coal production snapped back to normal, or near normal, and the price went up too, re- tall and wholesale.
Dealers throughout the na tion announced advances of 50 cenia to $2.00 ton and more. Anthracite also advanced.
The Socony Vacuum Oil Coni- pany. Al'antic Refining Com- pany, and the American Dil Company boosted gasoline prices in some areas and the Sun Oil Company said it had a higher price schedule in the offing.
In Washington Senator Cape- hart,' of Indiana stated "a growing shortage of petroleum products in this country" Bow has reached 700.000 barrels a day and "is threatening to sky-j rocket petroleum prices."
