House Group Again Yields On Price Bill
Washington November 25 The House Banking Committee voted 14 to 5 to restore to its price control bill authority for the Government to buy sell or store commodities to maintain price stability. Rep Wolcott called the provision pernicious and warned it could let the Administration manipulate stocks. The panel also restored a licensing provision for dealers in any commodity under a ceiling. Debate split over the best method to curb runaway prices with supporters backing a Federal price administrator while Gore urged freezing prices and wages to a set date. Chairman Sumners urged action to prevent postwar pay boosts and defended Price Administrator Henderson against charges of foreign influence.
