OPA Action Slated Friday as Senate Committee Divides
The Senate Banking Committee failed to agree on a new OPA bill but Leader Barkley said a bill will be ready for the Senate floor by Friday. The group recessed after a four hour session and may return despite the July Fourth holiday. Barkley proposed removing two Republican pricing amendments and later floated substitutes from Taft and Wherry with varied base periods to set price ceilings. Pepper urged quick action on the 20 day extension, while Taft defended Truman Administration positions as the panel pressed toward a stopgap or long range solution.
