Provisions are made in the executive order for continued authority to enforce penalties for past violations of these orders and regulations, but, henceforth compensation may be adjusted without the restraints imposed by controls.

The order also sanctions adjustments made in union contracts which were to have been put into effect upon official approval.
Parties whose applications were pending at the time controls were removed will be notified by the administrative agencies that proposed adjustments m?y be placed in effect without agency approval.
