II I ACKS
SENATE
Plan
Slash to Only Twelve Members
Hit in Hcuse-sIanton Again
Holds Up Progress

Bitter opposition to the Senate
amendment to cut extension Of the
District rent act from two years
to one year developed in the House
today.
Congressman Florian Lampert
Of Wisconsin, author Of the orig
inal rent extension bill, will lead
the fight to have the two-year
extension retained. He will have
the support of other House pro-
ponents Of rent legislation includ-
ing. the progressive bloc and the
New York delegation, it was in
dicated.
Delayed by BIanton.
Congressman Lampert, shortly
after the House convened today,
asked unanimous consent that the
Senate bill be disagreed to and that
conferees be appointed.
Objection was made by Congress-
man Thomas L. Blanton Of Texas.
and the bill was sent to the Speak.
er's table.
Congressman Lampert will make
another effort later this week to
have conferees appointed on the
bill. In case this attempt fails the
amendment probably will be brought
up for vote on the floor Of the
House.
Really FavOrs Two Years.
The Senate is strongly in favor
Of adopting resolution extending
the rent; law for a two years
period, despite the action taken
last night in adopting the reOolu-
ton with the extension limited to
one year.
The conference report, which IL
almost certain to contain a recon-
mendation for a two years extern
sion may be held up in the Senate,
however, particularly If Senators
Overman and King should start a
filibuster against its adoption.
Ban IL Optimistic.
1t is well understood that not
much time Will be allotted for the
adoption of the Senate conference
report in the present legislative
jam.
Senator Ball, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, today
expressed confidence that the reso-
luton in its original form would
be adopted by the Senate.
Only nine days remain for the
adoption Of the resolution and its
signing by President Coolidge. The
present law expires May %.
A oneman filibuster conducted on
the floor Of the Senate yesterday by
Senator Overman succeeded in mu,
tilating the House resolution calling
for a two-years' extension 80 as to
read for lone year" Senator Ball, az
first was inclined to fight. but upon
the advice Of Senators Lodge and
Wadsworth surrendered to Senator
Overman so as to permit the pas
sage of the resolution without fur
Their delay.
Senator King objected to the rent
resolution on general principles,
citing the recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court ana
the Injunction issued by Justice
Stafford. He listened to Senator
Balls exposition Of local realty con-
ditions and permitted the measure
to go through.
