MAY NAME WOMAN
ON new rent BODY
President Expected to. An
nounce Appointments
This Week..

Belief that President Harding has
about completed . list Of nominees
for the new Rent Commission was
expressed today by persons who have
been to the White House recently in
connection with the proposed ap-
pointments. The impression was
gained that announcement OF tie five
names selected would be forthcom-
ing before the end Of this week.
1t is generally expected in authori-
tative quarters that the list Of pros
President yesterday by Senator Ball,
author of the rent act, and Edward
F. Coliaday, republican national
committeeman for the District of Co.
lumbia. has received favorable con-
sideration at the White House.
Much credit is given by those in
touch with administrative circles to
the report that Oliver Netzerott, local
lawer and former republican state
senator in Maryland; Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey. prominent woman
lawyer. and Thomas E. Peeney, secre-
tary to Senator Ball. stand good
chances of being among the nomi-
nees.
There are several other men and
women whose friends believe may he

board. among them James Coleman.

tions; Mrs. Ashley Gould, widow Of
the late justice; Henry A. Baker. at
torney. of this city and a voter in
West Virginia, who is said to be
backed by the entire West Virginia
delegation in Congress, and Thomas
L. Jones. colored lawyer.
There is little doubt in the minds of
persons who have been following the
rent situation here that William F.
GUIDE. present rent commissioner. would
not fail Of nomination for reappoint-
ment but for his recent announcement
OF his desire to withdraw from the
commission because of the pressure
Of private business. Some consider il
possible that the President may renom-
mate him anyway. for complimentary
reasons. Much speculation is rife re-
garding the likelihood of A. Leftwich
Sinclair and Mrs. Clara Sears Taylor
being also reappointed.

question is whether Mr.. Harding, who
knows what support the measure has,
will risk a conspicuous turn-down by
the Senate or whether he will prefer
to wait until the measure comes to
him and express himself explicitly in
veto message in which he can put
all his arguments and depend upon
the effect of the communication to
prevent Congress from overriding the
veto.
The danger in such . course from
the viewpoint OF those who want to
see the measure fail OF passage IL
that on the first vote probably enough
senators will become committed af-
firmatively as to make impossible 4
reversal on a later vote.
All indications now point to the
passage OF the measure, despite the
efforts made by interpreters Of recent
elections to Persuade members Of
Congress that the bonus Is unpopular
and 4 vote against it will help them
next autumn as much as 1t will hurt
Reporting the bill out of the finance
committee is a step forward in the
slow but steady march of the bonus
through both houses Of Congress.
