The proposal would extend federal wage and price powers to April 30 next year while altering the Defense Production Act. It calls for ending most rent controls, loosening consumer credit and housing loan limits, and limiting the Wage Stabilization Board with Senate confirmation. An exemption for processed fruits and vegetables from price controls could raise grocery costs. The package also seeks a Taft-Hartley request from the President.
