All of the agency's actions had en planned weeks ago but haii bv . \ ~A wsvival law which Presi dent Iruman "reluctantly" signed late yesterday. The price boosts authorized today are temporary and may be revised under standards set up by the new ?i A law. Included were inc reases ranging from six to eight cents a ten on coal, coke, anthracite and si miliar solid fuels. Some retail shoo price ceilings were uppc-d about eight per cent. Stripped from the controlled li-t were such items as household tele vision sets, rubber flour mats, um brella frames, and certain types of clocks. An increase of 19 per cent in manufacturers' ceilings on thermos tats for domestic use and electric kitchen ranges was authorized. OPA said this price hike will not change the retail costs of stoves. Ceilings on rentals of so called consumer durable goods whose sale price previously had been decon trolled were eliminated.

And Sen ator Wherry (IS) of Nebraska, a leading OPA critic, added to a re porter that a special session might result instead in complete abolution of the agency. 3?President Robert Wason of tiv National Association of Manufactur ers said in a statement in New York "NAM still opposes OPA because it restricts the freedom of the Amer ican people and substitutes the price judgment of a few super-bureau crats for the judgment of -IO.OOO.imic American housewives who have given us a four week demonstration of their own ability to control prices." ?The CIO United Auto Work ers announced in Detroit they will continue their OPA holiday buyers strike because, as UAW President Walter Rout her put it: "This bill on ly pretends to restore price control Actually it legalizes inflation."
