Controls Bills Face
Additional Threats
And Possible DELAYS

House and Senate bills to
change and continue economic
controls legislation faced still
new threats and possible delays
today.
Some labor leaders demanded a
much stronger law than the
pending bills would provide. The
separate House and Senate bills
have troubles enough of THEN
own because they have run into
unusually complicated parliament
tary situations together with Bit
ter debate cutting across party
lines.
Meanwhile, there was a lull in
floor activity. The Senate. after
hours of bitter wrangling over its
measure yesterday, put OF further
discussion until tomorrow.
Tomorrow the House also will
take up bill. differing subtantial-
ly from the Senate version in sew
eral important provisions. The
Rules Committees after a three
hour session in which defenders
of the bill had rough going. late
yesterday cleared the way for five
hours of general debate. But that
will be followed by debate and
voting on 81 amendments to be
offered by the Banking Commit
tee and numerous others by indi-
vidual members.
Deadline Saturday.
The problem of whether Con-
gress will be able to complete ac-
ton on any price, wage and rent
controls bill before the Defense
Production Act expires Saturday
was complicated suddenly by 9
still bigger question. That wa.
whether organized labor woule
support the legislation.
CIO leaders warned they will
walk out ON the stabilization pro.
gram unless Congress enacts 9
measure that is greatly improved
over the pending bills.
Emil Rieve, chairman of the
CIO Economic Policy Committee
told a news conference the pro-
gram now being considered by
Congress ENSURES nothing except
the profits of business and in
dustry." He added that the en-
tire CIO indorses that position and
will refuse to go along with the
stabilization program, if nothing
better comes from Congress.
This threat recalled thes refusal
of the AFL. CIO and various other
unions, earlier this year, to take
part in the stabilization program
because of a dispute over wage
controls and general economic
policies. The union representa-
tives returned to their wage
stabilization posts two months
later.
