Chairman Spence of the House

Administration as now consti-

members of the Banking Committee.
including Democrats, are lining up
with them.
Mr.. Spence indicated that the
administration strategy of standing
pat on its price-control setup had
just about been settled and he de-
clared: We'll hold the hand and
let the Republicans draw the cards" "
Subsidy Ban Sought.
Among the Republicans demand
ing changes is Representative VOL
colt of Michigan who is leading
move to:
Cd Insert in the act a section
outlawing food subsidies-the ban
was twice inserted in legislation ex-
tending the life of the Commodity
Credit Corp. and President Roose-
velt twice vetoed the legislation as
injurious to his anti-inflation pro-
gram.
CD Grant the right of appeal to
Federal courts for those claiming
they were damaged by wartime
price control rules.
90 Spelling out" the OPA's au-
thority to correct gross ineuuities"
so there will be less latitude for
the agency.
There are some Democrats who
favor such steps. Chairman Smith
OF House committee investigating
the acts of Federal agencies, has
sharply criticized OPA and will start
hearings next Tuesday looking to-
ward reorganizing it.
On this score two Democrats on
the Banking Committee, Represent
atives Folger of North Carolina and
Sullivan of Navada, declared in a
statement yesterday that rationing is
necessary but it should not be "the
engine OF needless opression." There
should be some steps, they said, to
simplify 1t and prevent needless
harassings to the public"
The price control issue seethed
briefly in furry on the House
floor yesterday. Representative Pat
man, Democrat, of Texas demand
ed to know what revisions the Re-
publicans planned, but Minority
Leader Martin made it plain he
wouldn't divulge them until the
Democrats bring out bill"
Mr.. Patman charged the COP
with voting for price control before
