" ' '' '' : The house passed its price and wage control measure at 1:10 a. m EDT after a marathon session lasting more than 14 hours. The roll call vote on passage was 323 to 92. ' I ,' Coalition Falls Apart ; ;; ; In the final round of voting, the republican-southern democrat coa lltion fell apart somewhat' after having most things its own way for several days. Some of the amendments which the coalition had succeded in getting into the bill were knocked out, but others survived rough tests. Economic stabilizer Eric A. Johnston said he hoped a senate house conference committee would "repair the damage and provide the economic weapons to battle Inflation." - ' With the present controls law scheduled to expire on July 31, the conference committee will go to work next week In an effort to reach speedy agreement on the many other things, for controls to be continued .through Febru ary, 1952; the house would con tinue them through June, 1952. 14 Roll Calls During the final hours of voting it . . . . .. tA null nnlln mnanm. ing 20 to. 25 minutes each the house finally heeded administra tion pleas to knock out of the bill some amendments which demo cratic leaders argued would result in higher prices .for food' and scores of other itpms, The amendments previously had been approved on a tentative But these administration (vic tories largely were offset by loss es on other controversial amend ments. For example, the house,, like tne senate, reiusea to pcmm any further rollbacks in beef prices, although the 10 per cent ruiiuaun aueaujr 111 tuLM - allowed to stand. No Slaughter Quotas Similarly, both house and sen ate refused to give price stabil izer Michael V. DiSalle authority to set-monthly-quotas on slaugh tering on meat animals. DiSalle maintained that he had to have this power to keep meat out of the black market and In legit imate channels. ' DiSalle was in the visitors gal lery while much of the voting was going on. Asked what he thought, he said: . . , "It's not a question of the con sumer getting anything .he's just not losing as much." Here is a thumbnail summary of the key provisions In the sen ate and house .bills: Summary Given Prices In general, the admin istration's present authority to set price ceilings was continued. However, there could be no fur ther rollbacks In beef prices, as DiSalle had planned, and farm commodities could not be placed under control if they still are be low parity. . Rents Rent controls would be continued, but landlords would be permitted to raise rents 20 per cent above the levels of June 30, 1947. .Rent controls (Continued on Page 5) Jerusalem Tense, As Result 1 0 Assassination of Abdullah By Ellav Simon (United PreM Suff Corroaimmlent) Jerusalem, Palestine, July 21 miThe crack Arab legion is ready to crush any attempt to capitalize on the assassination of King Abdullah,, the official Jor dan radio warned today.
