Subseries G. Wage Stabilization Board and the Defense Production Act

 Sub-Series

Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

This category, extending from Box 6656, Folder 37 to Box 6657, Folder 9 contains reports, memos, articles, and correspondence from the period 1951-1953. The Wage Stabilization Board, of which Killingsworth became Chair, was created in 1951 to promote industrial peace so that vital production would not be hampered during the Korean War. Researchers may be particularly interested in the several articles describing wage controls which this section contains, authored by such notables as Nathan Feinsinger and Archibald Cox. Also of special interest are the excerpts from transcripts at the House investigations of the Wage Stabilization Board, in which allegations were made that the Board was influenced by Communists.
