Senate votes to extend rent control amid House pressures
The Senate approved a final 15 month rent control extension after defeating a Bricker attempt to send it back to conference. The measure keeps controls in modified form until mid 1950 and allows local governments and states to lift ceilings with governor consent while landlords gain a fair net income. The House banking chair Brent Spence indicated likely passage as Truman's signature remains pending. The National Association of Real Estate Boards urged presidential consultation before signing.
