which "kilfish" an enemy of mosqui-

Declaring that rent regulation in

Declaring that rent regulation in
Washington will ultimately lead to
regulations of similar communist
ideas throughout the States" the
Washington Association Of Building
owners and Managers today
charged that Congress was in the
throes of "hysteria" on the sub
ject.
The association warned that the
United States is not ready for com.
munism as advocated by the Rus
sian soviets' and forecast the re-
call of Senators and Congressman
who advocate such measures.
The associations statement was
made public following the receipts
of word from Columbus, Ohio, that
rent legislation had been introduced
in the legislature thus similar to
that proposed here. The statement
follows:
Text of Statement.
THAT the Washington Association
Of Building Owners and Managers
has not been mistaken in it's
statement that the proposed rent
bill for the District of Columbia
would lead to a. demand for similar
legislation throughout the country
was confirmed this morning, by
receipt of a statement from the
Columbia Evening Dispatch of
January 20, indicating that State
Senator Miller of Ohio, backed by
State Senator. Clark, had intro
duced a bill proposing a rent in
vestigation and are backing their
proposal with the statement that
State employees are finding it diff
ficult to find suitable houses in
which to live.
that the difficulty with the State
of Federal employees, his income
has not Increased in proper proper
ton to the cost of living. There
fore the State senators have arrived
at the brilliant conclusion that
housing ought to be regulated.
They do not seem to heed the
glaring fact that furniture, food
and clothing, doctors. hospitals and
nurses fees have all increased con-
siderably more than housing.
AS housing is fixed property and
cannot be moved away they hit
upon the idea Of regulating houS-
ing: taxing the property owner for
the support of the Federal employee
over and above the amount he
would pay il he did not own this
tangible property.
''Recalr' Threatened.
THUS we see the first fruits OF
the unsound proposal which Con-
gress is considering for the District
of Columbia. The hysteria for some
sort of regulation here in the Dis.
trict finds it's echo first in the
State of Ohio. The situation in
Ohio is not fraught with so much
danger as here in the District for
the simple reason that the folks
out in Ohio vote, and will make
known their attitude or rent legis'
lation in no uncertain terms.
Members of Congress who are
advocating this measure will do
we'll to heed this first sign Of hys-
terra from the country at large.
Rent regulation in Washington will
lead to rent regulation IN other
parts of the country, or it will lead
TO the recall of the gentlemen who
advocate it. The United States Is
not ready for communism as adj
vocated by the Russian soviets."
