Year Extension
Voted, 13 to9
House Banking Unit
OKs Gradual ENDING
Of fSubsidy Program
BY the As:oeiofed Press

The House Banking Committee
today approved a years extern
sion of price control, as recon-
mended by President Truman.
1t defeated. 13 to 9, a Repub-
llcan effort to limit OPA's new
lease on life to nine months.
However, the committee aimed a
blow at OPA pricing policy, voting,
10 to 6, to prohibit the agency from
requiring retailers for period of six
months to absorb larger cost of man
ufactured products, such as auto
mobiles, refrigerators and radios.
Moreover, the group by a 15-to-5
ballot approved-subject to House
and Senate action-a gradual ter
mlnation of the Governments ST.
600 ,000,00 annual subsidy program.
The latter amendment would re-
quire the Government to reduce sub
sidy payments by Is per cent over
the year beginning July l and get
out OF the subsidy business by June
80, l947. The subsidies include pay
ments to hold down food costs.
A proposal by Representative VOL
colt, Republican, of Michigan, to
give manufacturers prices rejecting
production cost and a reasonable
profit on each item, was defeated on
an l1-to-1l tie vote
Upward Price Policy for Hotels.
The committee approved, how
ever. an amendment by Repre-
sentative Barry, Democrat, of New
York establishing policy that
OPA should allow upward price
adjustments for transient hotels
making a distinction between a
transient and an apartment or resi-
dental hotel. No percentage of
increase was specified.
The proposal to hold the pricing
agency's new life span to nine
months beyond June 80 also was
offered by Mr.. Wolcott, senior Re-
publican on the committee. Its
defeat left proposed OPA ternina-
ton date at June 80, 1947.
Representative Crawford, Repub-
lican, of Michigan offered the
amendment to alter OPA's retail
cost absorption policy. 1t stipulates
that OPA cannot interfere for a
period of six months with normal
retail percentage markups. on
items where Government restric-
tons during wartime forced a IS
per cent or more reduction in pro-
! duction rates.
! Automobile dealers especially have
protested OPA orders reducing their
normal percentage markups
Hopes to Finish Tonight.
The actions virtually completed
committee work on price control
extension legislation. Chairman
Spence voiced hope the committee
would polish off the bill by night
| fall, and send it to the House for
action.
Speaker Rayburn told newsmen
the House probably would begin
debate on the measure April Is.
Previously, the committee had
written into the bill a requirement
for gradual lifting of price controls
on various items as supply catches
up with demand.
Another eviousl y-approved
amendment repeals on July OPA's
maximum average price program
which is designed to increase pro-
duction of loW-coSt clothing.
