House Passes OPA Measure:
Expect Senate Action Soon

trim OPA's powers and, more
over, the new compromise meas
ure bans price ceilings on major
foods-meat, poultry, eggs, milk,
etc.-for at least 80 days. ;
But it permits immediate resto-
ration of controls on manufacture
ed products, rents, and on foods
not specifically exempted.
OPA could roll back to their
June 80 levels any rent increases
made by landlords since that date.
An official told reporters the
OPA plans to re-establish the
June 80 ceilings in the areas which
were under rent controls then.
The new legislation writes for
mulas for higher prices in many
lines, but OPA is given at least
80 days in which to figure these
new prices.
The measure creates a three
man control board, superior to
OPA, to determine when various
items shall be put under controls
and when controls should be
dropped.
Price control is banned under
any circumstances before August
20 on meats, dairy products, poul-
try, eggs, grains, cottonseed and
soybeans and food and feed prod

Washington-The House passed
the new OPA bill, 210 to 142, yes
terday after assurances from
Democratic Leader Mccormack
(Mass.) that President Truman
will sign it.
The Senate plans to take it up
today, with leaders hoping that
it may be sent to the White House
the same day. With the Presi-
dents signature, the way would
then be open for price ceilings to
be restored after a three-week
lapse.
In the final House showdown,
157 Democrats, 81 Republicans
and one minor party member vot-
ed for the bill. Opposing were
119 Republicans, % Democrats
and one minor party member.
The Presloent, meanwhile,

Slight Rise In
Prices Is Seen

West Jefferson is seeing
only a few rises in prices since
the end Of, OPA.
Creamery butter, and flour
and some. dairy feeds came in
for the biggest climbs. This
is attributed to the fact that
the subsidy has been taken off
of these. A slight rise in the
price of cereal is also noted
as well as on some other food
items.
The scarcity of sugar is the
biggest problem food merch-
ants have to contend with at
present. Sugar refineries re-
port that this is due both to
the shortage in raw sugar and
transportational difficulties.

Bean Markets
Show Increase

Bean business in West JET
fersOn has shown a big in
crease in the past week with
around $4,000 bushels being
sold on the two markets here
at an average of over SIPS.
Farmers express themselves
as being unusually well pleas
ed.
The recent rains have done
much to increase the crop
which was short as the season
opened, because of the drought.
The demand for beans re-
mains unusually good and buy
ers predict an unusually good
season here. Beans are COM
ing into the market, not only
from this but from nearby
