She said that when parents are
confronted with the bare facts OF

Opa Faces Red Hot Debate;
Committee Reduces Powers

Washington, Apr. ZAP The
OPA bounced today from the con
gressional frying pan into the fire.
The bill prolonging the price
agency's life for a year beyond June
80 headed toward red hot debate
on the House floor after the bank
ing committee voted far-reaching
revisions and curtailment OF its
powers.
An OPA spokesman said the com
mittee action, IL sustained by the
House and Senate, would hike re-
tail prices on automobiles, refrig-
orators, radios and many other
items. with consumer costs in
creasing by more than half a bill
lion dollars this year.
Nevertheless, co n gr essional
friends Of OPA said the drubbing
the agency got in the committee
was not as bad as they feared.
The committee brushed as de the
pleas for an early end of OPA made
by the National Association Of Man
ufacturers. the United States
Chamber of Commerce and some
other business groups, and follow
ed President Truman's recommen-
dation that the agency be continu-
ed for full year beyond June 80.
But It wrote into the OPA ex-
tension bill yesterday these far
reaching revisions:
l. A requirement that OPA re-
store the retail profit margins It
has trimmed for a large number
OF reconversion items autos, re-
frigerators. radios, etc. This re-
vises the OPA cost absorption pol
icy which has required retail out
lets to bear a portion of the in
creased cost OF production by re-
duction Of markup or discount mar
gins.

be llquidated in various lines as
supply comes into balance with de-
mand, with the gradual decontrol
