The House approved a one year extension of Nixon wage and price controls by 267 to 114, with the Senate earlier backing a nonrecord vote. The measure preserves limited controls and authorizes allocations and price increases up to 3.50 per hour, while omitting mandatory rollbacks and broad public disclosure requirements.
