Congress in Washington Rent Control and Margarine Bills
Congressman Jones reviews House activity on pending measures. Rent Control Extension aims to June 30 1950 with an amendment to ensure reasonable returns and curb landlord exploitation. Margarine tax repeal advances but color margarine sale remains restricted. Wage Hour Act debates continue with farm labor exemptions and industry carveouts. Defense bills passed for radar and missile ranges while Rankin veteran pension action stalls. A call to curb spending and tax pressure from Ways and Means chair hints at fiscal restraint amid multibillion dollar programs.
