The House voted 324 to 33 to give President Nixon extended authority to control wages prices and rents through April 30 1973 while requiring retroactive payment of any wage raises lost during the freeze if prices had already risen to cover them. The measure now goes to the Senate and includes retroactive pay for raises denied during the freeze in certain cases and allows consumer suits for triple damages for willful price or rent violations.
