Solons Vote on Inflation Bill Moves to New Law
The Senate passed a comprehensive new controls bill by a voice vote with little opposition after 2 a.m. EST, while the House focused on a temporary extension. The measure originally sought to ban new price ceilings during the extension but was amended to allow ceilings on farm commodities if parity is reached during the month. Existing law allows ceilings when farm prices are above parity or above pre Korean-war levels, whichever is higher.
