Congress passes controls bill with compromise limits
Representative Paul C. Jones notes Congress adopted a conference committee version after a short joint session. The bill extends price controls on some items for ten months while ending rent controls in defense housing areas next spring. He cites limited debate and a rush to pass, with opposition from some farm groups to the Fair Trade measure and mixed prospects for cotton supports and farm credit reforms.
