RENT EVIL IN D. c.
AGAIN HOUSE TOPIC
BIames Senate for Failure to
Provide Anti-Profiteering
Measure.
ron SEPARATE ,'l LAW

Rent profteerfng in tho District OF
Columbia again was discussed in the
House today. Leaders on both sides
of the chamber said it was a shame
that conditions could not be checked
which are making a hardship for
thousands Of residents Of Washington.
The House was absolved from all
blame in not having passed anti
profiteering rent legislation. The Sen
ate was held culpable, first for refus-
ing to pass anti-profiteering rent leg
islation in the usual way as a sepa-
rate and distinct law. Second. for
attempting to dictate to the House on
the Senate had put the profiteering
rider as an amendment on entirely
different legislation.
The discussion started when Rep
|resentative Byrns of Tennessee called
up the joint resolution to continue
during November appropriations for
support Of the Department Of Agri-
culture. This resolution was adopted
without objection.
Sees Need for Hasty Action.
Representative Anderson Of Mime
sofa, a member of the agriculture
committee. said he has previously OBJ
tected because he believed there
should be no further delay in the
passage of an adequate act to check
rent profiteering. He said it was his
aim to compel the conferees to- come
to some agreement on this amend

quorum present in Washington, it is
not now possible to compel action by
the conferees.
He said the conferees are not far in
taking advantage Of the lack of
quorum, however, and nothing is to
the. Department of Agriculture Of
funds. and therefore he felt that fur
ther objection would be unavailing.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
also republican, again recalled that
the Senate had loaded the food-stim-
ulation bill with new legislation. The
House conferees. he felt, were en-
tirely within their rights in insisting
that this new legislation should be
taken of the bill.
situation exiStS where it is impossi-
BILE to get the House and Senate to
agree upon relief against an intol-
erable condition. He maintained that
the attitude of the House conferees
had been entirely correct.
Chairman Lever for Firm Stand.
Chairman Lever Of the appropria-
tions committee again insisted that
the House had to maintain. firm
stand in order to preserve the right
to legislate without dictation from the
Senate
Representative Mondell said the way
is open to adjust the matter by the
regular legislative proceeding with
out having rent profiteering legisla-
ton attached to any other measure.
The Senate seems unwilling, he said,
to cooperate in this.
Representative Lever emphasized
the fact that it is Invariably the ques-
ton with ungermane matter at
tached, to a bill when It reaches q
deadlock between the two Houses that
the Offending body should recede.
Representative Mondeu called atten-
ton to three important. pieces Of leg
islation which are tied up in this one
measure. Food stimulation, anti-rent
profiteering legislation and wartime
prohibition. He charged that certain
interests outside of the House have
been blocking this measure on account
Of the prohibition amendment.
