RENTS AND SUGAR
STILL CONTROLLED
Presidential Action Pre-
sages Swift End For All
OPA Functions

WASHINGTON. Nov. g. R -
Price ceilings on everything ex-
cept dwellings, sugar and rice were
wiped away completely by Presi-
dent Truman tonight in n sweep
ing order which spelled the speedy
end of OPA.
All government controls on wages
and salaries, too, were abolished
except in cases Of government seiz-
ure, like the soft coal mines. Thus
the Wage Sterilization Board goes
out of business.
While the OPA ceilings will be
continued, Mr.. Truman indicated
that they may be increased-"it
may be that some adjustment Of
rents VIII be required" he said.
But Housing Expediter Wilson
Wyatt announced that the scales
and rental ceilings on new homes
built under the veterans emergency
housing program will stay as is.
The presidential order removed
price ceilings from clothing, auto
mobiles, building materials, furni-
ture, metals, paper, caol, laundry
l-%everything, in fact. that still re-
manned under ceilings after the
avalanche Of recent decontrol ac-
tons except the scarce items OF
housing, sugar and rice.
The order was effective as Of
1901 am. eastern Standard Time)
Sunday, but price law violations
before that time still may be prose
cuted and businessmen r required
to keep their records for another
year.
Mr.. Truman acted four days aft
er the election which saw Republic
cans capture control Of the senate
and house in a campaign which
swirled around the slogan "had
eaough?" (of control and short
ages. The action was in the works
before election day, however, and
was delayed only because OF the
extensive consultations necessary
among the officials concerned.
Its principal. impact was on these
three agencies:
OPA Price Administrator Paul
Porter, now expected to resign
shortly, announced tina the much
criticized agency "is proceeding
} Immediately with liquidation OF
it's price functions. The local boards
throughout the nation already are
closed. A special liquidation agency
probably will be set up to polish
off the work.

news conference.
CLAYTON simultaneously expressed
firm conviction that the Repub-

ents Of high tariffs, will support

Senator Wherry (Rep-Neb.) said
However Senate Republicans prob
ably will want to study any pro-
nosed tariff reductions before they

pass Judgement.
Wherry, who voted against ex-
tension of the Reciprocal Trade

The negotiations will be the most
extensive ever carried out under
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements

from feathers to machinery will be
