OPA Down To
“Last Million”
WASHINGTON, OP) — OPA,
down to its last million dollars un
less rescued by the Senate, insisted
today it may have to quit enforc
ing rent ^ceilings, sugar rationing
and the few remaining price con
trols within 72 hours.
Price administrator Max McCul
lough declared that the House de
cision to slash $9,000,000 from the
agency’s current appropriation
will—if upheld by the Senate—put 4
OPA out of business four months
before its scheduled expiration
date.
It appeared doubtful, however,
that the Senate would act on the
matter before this week thus put
ting the the whole issue over for
perhaps another week, or longer.
The cut cannot be made effective
until passed by both Houses and
signed by President Truman.
Recommended by the House ap
propriations committee, it went
through as part of a $139,360,000
deficiency appropriation bill late
yesterday.
The committee’s formal repoi t
said OPA still wouid have enough
money left to “discharge its full
responsibilities under the law,
wind up its affairs and turn ove
all necessary records to the archiv- 1
ist” by June 30. Chairman Taber
(R^N.Yp, estimated the cut would
leave the agency $18,000,000.
An industrial plant is beginning
to make ethyl alcohol out of saw
dust and other sawmill waste.
