House curbs OPA powers and tees up cotton price plan
The House approved amendments limiting the Office of Price Administration and extended its life for a year. One measure allows OPA orders to be challenged in Federal District Courts, and another blocks suspending a dealer’s license for price ceiling violations. A punitive damages relief proposal passed tentatively, pending fuller vote. The debate included a Cotton Textile ceiling formula linked to parity for raw cotton, aiming to aid farmers and spur production amid inflation fears. The plan drew opposition from Bowles and House leaders, who warned it risked destabilizing the stabilization program.
