Senate Banking Committee Approves Amended Price Control Bill
Washington June 6 The senate banking committee approved a drastically amended price control extension bill to extend controls to June 30 next year. The panel, split and without a record vote, proposed curtailing the measure with a decontrol board and reduced subsidies, while restoring agriculture controls and ending new price items. Major features include ending control on livestock and farm products, a nonOPA decontrol board, repeal of the map price order, and cut subsidies from 2.0 billion to about 1.1 billion with no food subsidies after May 1 1947.
