WASHINGTON, June 29.—President Truman, in oi of the most historic decisions of his career, today angrily ! vetoed the new OPA extension bill. He asked congress to approve an immediate resolution continuing OPA as it stands until a better substitute is worked out. Mr. Truman's action came just 37 hours before the present price control bill is scheduled to expire. He thus left congress the choice of overriding his veto, adopting his recommendation for an interim extension of OPA—or simply letting all price controls die at midnight tomorrow. Mr. Truman said the bill finally approved by congress yesterday would cause inflation and destroy wage stabilization, Rally to Override Veto But, he added, “I cannot bring myself to believe that

Says Bill Is Loaded

Mr. Truman said in his message that the bill was loaded with “bonanza formulas” that would enrichen industry, and (presented only a choice between “inflation with a statute 'and inflation without one.” “If this bill were allowed to become law,” he said, “the American people would believe that they were protected by a Sut they would not be pro-
