Truman Wins Test On Curbs
Supporters of President Truman's anti inflation program won an initial test as the Senate banking committee approved a seven month extension of voluntary steel and scarce commodities allocations. The panel rejected a 13 month extension then approved the seven month plan unanimously. GOP senators argued the voluntary controls work and should last a full year. Maybank said the vote left the door open for anti inflation action. Separate hearings on the program were set with Brannan named to coordinate proposals and to urge quick congressional action on cotton policy. The administration pushed a broad wage hour bill aiming to bring 5 million more workers under the act and raise the minimum to 75 cents an hour. House hearings are planned with Tobin and McComb as likely witnesses.

Rent Scale bill reworks Arizona state grazing land rents
Phoenix January 26 A senate bill to reappraise rents on about 8 million acres of state grazing land targets five carrying capacity classes with base rates from one and a half to seven and a half cents per acre. The plan ties annual rent to livestock price changes from 1948 as a base. Land Commissioner Williams says revenue would rise about 50 percent. The measure preserves existing undeveloped land minimums and allows lessees to request a reappraisal at their expense. Arizona Cattle Growers Association supports reappraisal but seeks a minimum rent. The bill faces heated debate before final passage.
