TEMPORARY ECONOMIC CONTROLS

The Senate resumed the consideration of its unfinished business, viz, the bill (S. 1081) to provide authority for temporary economic controls, and for other purposes.

Ön motion by Mr. BRICKER to further amend the reported amendment, by striking out on line 9, page 9, down to and including line 4 on page 10, the following:

"Moreover, there is the ever-present threat of further Communist aggression which may seriously jeopardize the American economic system unless proper safeguards exist for the imposition of certain economic controls in the event of a grave national emergency. The necessity for such safeguards is emphasized by the speedily destructive force of modern warfare which allows no delay in the taking of Executive action to insure the preservation of the well-being of the economy. This Act provides a basis for the imposition of price, wage, and rent controls for a temporary period in the event serious economic dislocations develop which threaten the national security or welfare.

"It is the sense of the Congress that direct economic controls are incompatible with the American free enterprise system and should be invoked only if an emergency arises serious enough to threaten the economic well-being or security of the United States. However, if such an emergency should develop the President must have the power to employ immediate economic controls for such reasonable period of time as will give Congress an opportunity to act."

On page 22, by striking out on line 9 down to and including line 14, the following:

"(a) (1) Titles I, III, VI, VII and VIII of this Act, and all authority conferred thereunder, shall terminate at the close of June 30, 1955, or at the expiration of ninety days after the issuance on or before that date of an Executive order establishing ceilings under the provisions of section 801 (a) of this Act, whichever is later."

and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

"(a) (1) Titles I, III, VI and VII of this Act, and all authority conferred thereunder, shall terminate at the close of June 30, 1955."

and on page 23, by striking out on line 7 down to and including line 2, on page 27, as amended, the following:

"SEC. 16. The Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new title:

""TITLE VIII-TEMPORARY EMERGENCY PRICE, WAGE, AND RENT CEILINGS ""SEC. 801. (a) The President is authorized and directed, whenever the United States has declared war against a foreign nation, or whenever the Congress, by concurrent resolution, shall find and declare that a grave national

emergency exists and that the exercise of such authority is necessary in the interest of national security and economic stability, to establish simultaneously by Executive order ceilings în (1) the price, rental, eommission, margin, rate, fee, charge, or allowance paid or received on the sale or delivery, or the purchase or receipt, by or to any person, of materials and services, (2) wages, salaries, and other compensation paid or received with respect to employment, and (3) rents paid or received for the use or occupancy of housing accommodations, at those prevailing as of the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the action is taken, or those prevailing on the nearest date during the preceding thirty days on which, in the judgment of the President, they are generally representative, or if none prevailed during such thirty-day period, then those prevailing on the nearest date on which, in the judgment of the President, they are generally representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the ceiling level for any agricultural commodity shall be the higher of (i) the level specified in the foregoing provision, or (ii) the parity price for the commodity determined and adjusted for grade, location, and seasonal differentials by the Secretary of Agriculture, and (B) the ceiling level for any commodity processed or manufactured in whole or substantial part from any agricultural commodity shall be the higher of (i) the level specified in the foregoing provision, or (ii) such level as will reflect to producers of such agricultural commodity a price for such agricultural commodity equal to the ceiling level specified therefor in this sentence. All ceilings established under this title shall terminate ninety days after the issuance of such order, or at such earlier time as Congress may by law or concurrent resolution provide, and the authority conferred by this title to establish ceilings shall not thereafter be exercised.

"(b) The President may provide exemptions from, suspensions of, or adjustments to ceiling in the case of any materials or services or transactions therein, or types of employment, or housing accommodations of any class or in any area, if he finds that (1) such exemption, suspension, or adjustment is necessary for national defense, or (2) the imposition or maintenance of such ceilings would be impracticable or unnecessary in order to effectuate the purposes of this title.

"SEC. 802. The President may make such rules, regulations, and orders as he deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title. Whenever in the judgment of the President such action is necessary or proper in order to effectuate the purposes of this title, he may, by regulation or order, regulate or prohibit speculative or manipulative practices or renting or leasing practices (including practices relating to the recovery of possession) in connection with any housing accommodations, which in his judgment are equivalent to or are likely to result in rent increases inconsistent with the purposes of this title.

"'SEC. 803. (a) Regardless of any obligation heretofore or hereafter entered into, it shall be unlawful

"(1) for any person to sell or deliver, or in the regular course of business or trade to buy or receive, any material or service, or to demand, accept, receive, or retain any rent for the use or occupancy of any housing accommodations, or otherwise to do or omit to do any act, in violation of this title or any regulation, order, or requirement issued thereunder, or to offer, solicit, attempt, or agree to do any of the foregoing; or

(2) for any employer to pay, or any employee to receive, any wage, salary, or other compensation in contravention of any regulation or order promulgated by the President under this title.

The President shall prescribe the extent to which any payment (including any wage, salary, or compensation payment), either in money or property, made in contravention of any such regulation, order, or requirement shall be disregarded by the executive departments and other governmental agencies in determining the costs or expenses of any person for the purposes of any other law or regulation, including bases in determining gain for tax purposes.

"(b) Any person who willfully violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not more than $10,000 or to imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.

"SEC. 804. Nothing in this title shall be construed to require any person to sell any material or service, or to offer any housing accommodations for rent, or to perform personal services.

"SEC. 805. As used in this title—

"(a) The term "rent" means the consideration, including any bonus, benefit, or gratuity, demanded or received for or in conection with the use or occupancy of housing accommodations, or the transfer of a lease of housing accommodations.

“(b) The term "housing accommodations" means any building, structure or part thereof, or land appurtenant thereto, or any other real or personal property rented or offered for rent for living or dwelling purposes (including houses, apartments, rooming or boarding house accommodations, and other properties used for living or dwelling purposes) together with all privileges, services, furnishings, furniture, and facilities connected with the use or occupancy of such property.
