Price Control Bill
Carries. Power
To Freeze
By GRIFFING BANCROFT
Int1 News Service staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Aug. IA
price control bill giving President
Roosevelt sweeping powers to
freeze the nations credit and halt
installment buying. as we'll as to
set general price and rent ceilings.
was drawn up by congressional
leaders today.
The latest drastic terms of the
measure would simply permit ex-
ercise during the present emer-
gency of the anti-credit expansion
powers given the Executive in
1888 during the banking crisis.
HALT ALL CREDIT
These powers. members Of the
House and Senate banking COM
mittees explained. would permit
Mr.. Roosevelt TO halt virtually all
credit. to prevent people from buy
ing automobiles or other commodl-
ties on the installment plan. and
even to stop, if he wished. personal
So loans between individuals.
This comprehensive section of
the proposed bill. as well as an
other one which grants control
over agricultural prices, are the
two provisions which members
said are holding up formal intro
duction and speedy consideration
of the measure.

NO AGREEMENT

A lengthy heated closed-door
conference between the present
price administrators. Leon Hender-
son, and Representative Steagall
Cd of Alabama, chairman of the
House banking committee. broke
up without any immediate agree
.ment on these two provisions,
though participants said they
hoped everything would be worked
out soon.
Advocates of about price con-
troll insist that without the power
to halt credit-and that means
purchases on the installment plan,
bank loans, and even personal
loans-it will be impossible to
ward off initiation if the nations
purchasing power under stimulus
of defense buying keeps on rising.
One provision of the closely
guarded bill. it was learned, would
drastically limit the control over
rents. Rent ceilings could be set
only in overcrowded areas, and
only after 60 days notice. and only
for housing accommodations which
prior to Aug. 81, 1910, rented for
ISIS a room or less.
