House in Open Revolt Votes to Raise Oil Price
Washington June 10 In a rare fast paced session the House adopted amendments to the price control extension bill pushing the crude oil price up 35 cents a barrel. Leaders warned the measure faces a likely veto as both chambers approved provisions critics say would wreck the price and wage stabilization program. Lawmakers pressed for action before June 30 with the goal of keeping the OPA functioning beyond July 1.
