House vote targets price controls and Wage Stabilization reshaping
The House tentatively approves lifting most price controls and reorganizing the Wage Stabilization Board under a one year extension of the Defense Production Act. A key provision would require lifting controls on articles or services below three months under the ceiling or in adequate supply. The panel shifts toward public representation and reduces interventional powers amid absent votes.

Cheese Import Ban Modified But Stays
The House rejected President Truman's repeal attempt 105 to 25, keeping mandatory curbs on foreign cheese butter and fats while allowing a selective relaxation. Rep Boggs urged easing for farm export interests, and Rep Andresen welcomed a version that shields the dairy sector. A separate bid to make the curbs fail if imports cost 10 percent above domestic price was defeated 86 to 30.
