Lawmakers Move To Send Revised Price Control Bill
In Washington a drive begins in the house to send a revised price control bill to President Truman as the senate passes it. An informal agreement to defer the showdown gives the administration a long weekend to organize a fight against decontrols on major foods. The plan delays a house rules committee conference, leaving no national price or rent controls for another weekend. Taft criticizes the OPA as the senate backs the bill by a 62 to 15 vote.
