Washington AP dispatch reports Sen Robert A Taft charging the administration aims to revive price controls by spurring a buying rush. Two Senate banking measures to extend OPA temporary life to July 20 were sent to the committee after Sen O Daniel abandoned obstruction. The move follows House passage of one bill and Senate introduction of identical measures. The row reflects shifting Democratic support and Republican demands for tighter OPA limits. Bowles warned costs could double in 20 days if prices rise without controls.
