|Endaneers Congress
Plans for Recess
~ the Associated Press.

BY the ASsociateo RfeSe.
A tug Of war over new price
control legislation menaced
plans for Congress recess and
took top position today on a
docket Of must" measures
awaiting disposition before the
Republican National Convention
June 26.
The revolt against the once
OF Price Administration gained
strength as the House began its
fourth day OF debate on q bill to
extend the Price Control Act, which
expires June 80.
As it now shapes up, the legisla-
ton contains provisions which
brought from sources close to the
administration predictions of a
presidential veto that would leave
Congress the alternatives Of staying
in Washington during the Repub-
lican convention to write new bill
or passing q stop-gap measure tenn
porarily extending the Price Con-
troll Act in its present form.
Before the bill even reaches the
White House 1t must 60 through a
Senate House conference to adjust
differences between the version
passed last week by the Senate and
the form expected to emerge from
the House late today or tomorrow.
More than a score Of amendments
await disposition in the House
among them being proposals by
Representative Pace, Democrat, OF
Georgia to tie In the cost of farm
labor in computing parity prices for
farm products and by Representa-
tive Brown Democrat, of Georgia
to hitch textile ceilings to a parity
price for raw cotton and assure
millers their operating costs plus
"a reasonable profit"
The Brown proposal is similar to
the Bankhead amendment adopted
by the Senate over administration
opposition.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS amend
ments written into the measure by
the House last Saturday included
one directing the OPA to order .
boost Of approximately IS cents q
barrel In crude oil prices. Whether
they will be retained by the Senate
House conference or whether the
House itself will eliminate them
on q final roll-call vote is uncertain.
Despite the new obstacle to q
summer recess. leaders OF both
parties are hopeful they can get
Congress out of town during the
conventions, probably from June "A
until after the Democratic meeting
starting July 10, or even until Labor
Day.
Still to be disposed Of are several
big appropriation bills affecting
agencies whose current funds run
out July /, including so 900, !

benefits, highly controversial wal
contract termination legislation and

The Senate expects to pass the Gl
bill today. and House passage to
morrow or Wednesday is taken fol
granted.
