Washington (UP) The House Banking committee leaders clash over a proposed extension of wage price and rent controls set to expire June 30. Chairman Brent Spence calls revisions disappointing while Rep Jesse P Wolcott backs a sensible watered down bill. The measure would extend government controls on prices wages rents and scarce materials.

Also noted are votes on soldiers voting rights and the new GI bill, plus a Korea veterans recall provision in the Armed Services bill.
