WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-OPA
Officials told congress today that
controls on everything except rents
may be lifted in 1947, but that
they must be kept until then to
avert disastrous inflationary ex-
plosion.
Chester Bowles, retiring as price
chief to become economic stabil-
izer, warned repeatedly that in
flationary pressures have reached
such dangerous heights that the
nations entire economic future is
at stake. He told the house banking
committee it is imperative to ex-
tend price controls without delay.
Zenas L. Potter, congressional
adviser to Bowles, told the COM
mittee that OPA anticipates "all
controls but rents can be eliminated
in 1947." But pressures on rents
will endure so long, he said, that
congress will have to transfer rent
control to other agencies or to the
states. When that time comes, he
said, there will be no further need
for OPA.
Bowls told the house banking
committee that if disaster is to
averted, congress must act without
delay to:
1-Extend price control for one
year beyond the present June 80
expiration date.
2-Establish price ceilings on
both old and new homes to stop
real estate initiation which other
wise will wreck the construction in
dustry.
3-Continue food subsidies be-
yond July 1. Otherwise, control of
"the present inflationary dangers
will become impossible"
