Senate Panel Extends OPA Price Controls Amid Debate
The Senate banking committee approved legislation to extend the price and wage stabilization program for 18 months, despite administration opposition. An amendment by Senator Bankhead would allow periodic adjustments to textile ceilings to raise cotton parity, potentially pushing textile prices up by 225 to 350 million dollars yearly. A second amendment by Senator Yates sought to curb subsidies to only appropriated funds after June 30 1935, shifting subsidies away from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Commodity Credit Corporation. The panel's action came with limited record vote and mixed administration reception.
