Suit Makers
Delay Supply

Washington Feb. Gap A
spokesman for retail clothing mer-
chants contended today that man
ufactdrers are holding at least
7OOOo0 mems suits from the mar
ket pending oPA price adjust
ments
Louis Rothschild, executive d.
rector OF the National Association
OF Retail Clothiers and Furnishers,
told a reporter this Is a conser-
yative estimate
"knquestionably there Is with
holding in considerable volume
enough to relieve the present acute
shortage OF suits" Rothschild said.
He added that manufacturers
will continue to hold suits from
the market until OPA announces
a scheduled revision OF price regu-
lations covering msns and boys
tailored clothing.
OPA officials expressed surprise
at this. They recalled that a re-
cent announcement by the agency
had said the regulation would be
changed to correct inequities, v
but that there would be no gen
eral price increase.
one official who asked to remain
anonymous said that II the report
of Withholding is true. the only
explanation is that some manufac-
turers believe the revised regula-
ton may benefit them individually.

Another sizzling controversy de-
veloped around a proposal original
ing in the House membership ID
forbid the export of any lumber

The bill, written by Rep. Patman
(D-Tex.), was brought to the House
floor by the Banking Committee,

ceiling prices on old houses. Pat
man, however, served notice he
would demand a House vote on
putting the provision back into the
measure.
1t would stipulste that any pres
ent owner could sell his house for
any price he could get, but that this
sale would determine the ceiling.
The dwelling then could be sold
for no higher price during the
housing emergency.
Patman said his objective was to
halt speculative buying OF homes.
The price ceiling provision was
requested by Wilson ". Wyatt,
new housing eypediter who also
asked that Congress provide $780,
