Many Controls Due to Expire
Washington is facing rapid winding down of wartime and postwar controls as the fiscal year ends. Credit limits on consumer saving and auto purchases end, freeing bank funds for lending. Anti inflation measures and export priorities will be trimmed, with selective service possibly entering liquidation if funds are not restored. Wartime controls over tin, oils, fats, and imports face renewal or termination, while a proposed general services agency could absorb War Assets Administration duties.
