Snyder, whose statement was

A spokesman for Snyder said the
administration is counting on pas.
sage of the Patman bill, now be-

for authority to fix ceilings.
The bill provides that ceilings on
new houses would be determined on
the basis of actual construction
costs, plus the fair market value OF
the land and the generally prevail
ing contractors margin for com
parable units in 1941.
On an existing home, the ceiling
would be the price at which it is
first sold after ena ctment Of the

Price control would be limited
to those areas where a Federal
housing director found it neces
sary.

Under a similar price-supporting

It is a concurrent resolution and,

this has never been repealed. But
he said the resolution approved
today "would injure the cause OF

and women, where they can es-
