OPA revival bill compared with extension act details
The Senate passed the OPA revival bill with contrasts to the Truman extension, noting new provisions exempting livestock dairy and certain crops from controls, free petroleum absent shortages, rent ceiling limits, and banning price differentials between textile firms. It also retains some identical elements to the old act, including continuation until next June 30, moving farm price controls to Agriculture, and creating a three member decontrol board with broader ceiling powers. The piece combines policy contrasts and legislative steps with a fragmented, OCR-like presentation.
