Congress Set For Decision On Controls
Washington June 22 A key congressional committee move sets up a decision next week in the fight over price wage rent and other economy controls. Banking panels approved bills denying President Truman broad new powers while keeping current controls. Floor debate on the Senate bill is set for Monday and House action may start Wednesday. The defense production act expires in a week. The Senate bill blocks future price rollbacks below last year’s levels and faces resistance from GOP and some Democrats who warn it would jeopardize the stabilization program. The plan would cost consumers billions in potential rollbacks.
