Congressman Hammer produced n
letter sent out by the Washington
Real Estate Board, in which is was
intimated that the members of the
House District Committee would not
dare to try TO pass measure like
the rent law If IL affected their con
stituents. The Ball act was termed
purely fish legislation" and was
declared TO be not in aCCOrdanC" with
the constitution. The law was con
dcmnod further rs class legislation.
Roger Whiteford. attorney for
the real estate men, said that the
letter was regular report sent
only to members of the local real
estate hoard. He denied that any
attempts were being made by local
realtors to influence Congress un-
duly against the rent law.

pecially the implication that mem-
bcrs of Congress would be afraid to
attempt legislation similar TO the

Hugh Rowlan, agent for the
