Remove Victim of Bomber Crash
Washington July 11 A Senate vote rejected a bid to let OPA authorize rent increases, 58 to 14, as Congress moved toward final price control decisions. The motion by Senator Hawkes would permit immediate 5 percent rent hikes and later 4 percent raises, while forbidding federal controls in states with them. Democratic Leader Barkley pressed for a showdown on the OPA, with Senator Wiley proposing House approved measures disapproving the president’s reorganization plan. The debate reflected rapid setbacks in administration efforts.
