House Passes
Stripped-Down
Control Bill
WASHINGTON, (/P) — A strip
ped-down economic controls bill,
minus most of the added features
President Truman wanted, ^as
passed by the House early Sat
urday.
The measure, extending wage,
price and other controls for one
year, now goes to a Senate-House
conference committee to iron out
differences between it and an
eight-months extension voted by
the Senate. On the whole, the two
differed but little on' several
major points; none on a few.
As the House bill finally emer
ged, it was a patchwork of amend
ments which appeared to satisfy
neither Democrats nor Republi
cans entirely.
Economic Stabilizer Eric John
ston said the bill does not give j
consumers “the break they cie- j
served.”
But administration House lead
ers conceded it might have been
worse.
The bill would:
1. Allow a 20 per cent increase
in rents over July, 1947 levels.
2. Increase the pay-off time for |
both new and used cars, bought on
the. installment plan, from 15 to
21 months.
3. Reduce down payments on
household appliances from 25 to
15 per cent and lengthen the pay
off period from 15 to 18 months.
4. Reduce down payments on
household furniture and floor cov
erings from 15 to 10 per cent, with
21 instead of 15 months to pay.
5. Allow homes costing up to
$10,000 to be bought with only a
ten per cent down payment with
25 years 'to pay off the mortgage.
