Representative Brent Spence called the House Banking Committee into closed session to see if Democrats and Republicans could compromise their view on just how much power Mr. Truman needs to stabilize the economy during the Korean War. Shortly thereafter, the House was scheduled to resume debate on the Administration's bill which would give Mr, Truman controls over consumer credit, priorities and allocations, and commodity speculation. The House last week became tangled on the question of adding rationing and wage and price controls. Watch Senate Action Key House members have been keeping a close watch on the deliberations of the Senate committee, which last night approved legislation far more drastic than Mr.

Truman requested. The Senate bill, in effect, would give the President the authority to impose wage, price and rationing controls wherever and whenever he wished. It would only require him to impose wage controls if a "substantial" part of the economy came under price controls. The measure was approved by a vot of 13 to 0. Three Republicans Senators Homer E.
