Senate Group Would Extend Rent Controls
A Senate Banking Committee vote 8 to 5 approved extending federal rent controls for six more months beyond the current expiry on June 30. The measure allows cities to keep controls for the first half of 1951 if their governments vote to do so, a compromise between a full year and immediate end. The bill also seeks to decontrol hotels under federal ceilings, a point of difference with the House version. Senators Maybank, Douglas, Fulbright, Sparkman, Frear, Baxter, and Ives supported reporting the bill, with Long reserving opposition in the Senate.
