Conuicts Kidnap Police Officer
Price Control
Bill Approved

Washington. June Is AP -
House passage of the bill extend
ing price controls for another year
helped clear the way today for
Congress to recess for the political
conventions, but Senator Murdoch
(D-Utah) said the legislation still
faces the threat Of a veto.
Murdoch told reporter he
doesn't believe President Roose-
welt will sign the measure If 1t
reaches him carrying an amend
ment that would throw all OPA
regulations open for legal tests
in the federal district courts.
That amendment, by Rep. Dirk
sen (R-Ill) was adopted by a 206
to ISL vote of the House late Tues
day.
The Administrator earlier had
S ceeded in killing the even more
controversial Bankhead-Brown pro-
posal to adjust cotton textile cell
ings in a way the OPA called In
flationary and "a move by Rep.
Disney (D-Okla.) to force, a 30
cents-a-barrel boost in the price
Ct crud. oil.
The Senate last week passed a
separate .1S-months extension
bill, and a conference committee
will now try to work out differences
between the two.
Although the cotton amendment
had drawn the hottest Administra-
ton fire. Murdoch assailed the
Dirksen provision as likely to "bog
down" sterilization machinery
through conflicting interpretations
of the act by the IS district courts
THE war would be over before
anyone would know for sure just
what the law was" Murdoch said.
