Curb controls set to lapse at midnight unless Truman acts
Washington June 30 The vast economic curbs expire tonight unless President Truman signs the watered down controls bill. Congress, after long sessions, expects his signature though the measure is weaker than his request. If he vetoes or delays, an emergency resolution would extend the current law while a substitute bill is drafted. The proposal would run ten months to next April 30 and modify key provisions including rent controls, consumer credit limits, and housing loan rules.
