PROSECUTION
URGED FOR
OWNERS
Brinkman Report Declares
Against Conspiracy to
Keep Rates High

Recommendation that the
Public Utilities Commission be
given authority to regulate
rents in the District is incor-
porated in the report Oscar H.
Brinkman, special counsel and
investigator, has made to the
Senate District Committee.
Under the recommendation the
Utilities Commission would be
given power to enforce the rental
censorship under an act of Con-
gress.
Brinkman's report contains nine
recommendations, the first of
which was considered yesterday.
That recommendation urges pro-
seeution of real estate men who
Brinkman believes have been
conspiring to keep rents up.
William A. Roberts, special AS
sistant Corporation Counsel for
the U. U. c., said:
"T do not know how Mr..
Brinkman'S plan differs from
the old Rent Commission Act,
which was held invalid and un.
constitutional by he District
Supreme Court. However, /
would like to go into the mat
ter thoroughly with him before
make any further comment"

Hoover Casts Dull Care
And Fishline Overheard

Ogeechee River shad, rockfish,
sea trout and bass were reported
swarning.
The Presidents special train
pulled into Savannah at $3.50 and
the Executive lost no time in
getting aboard the Sequoia. A
crowd Of several hundred greeted
him at the station and limousines
whisked the party to the Savan-
nah River docks Immediately.
Mayor Thomas w. HoyneS eX-
tended the official welcome of
the city, heading an official
party.
At the docks hundred or
more persons made a semi-circle
around the gangplank of the
ship, and waved goodby as the
yacht moved downstream.
President and Mrs. Hoover and
their guests did not go below,
but Immediately seated them
selves on the upper deck, chat
ting with various folk.
Has Expert Guide
A weather-tanned fisherman,
Gus Gilman, moved into promi.
nence as the fishing party got
under way. Gilman, who has
more than three score years to
his credit, knows all the best
fishing holes. He fished with
President Cleveland years ago,
and President Hoover today de-
pended upon him to guide the
party to the spot where the
bass and other fish are running
The President probably will not
get below Brunswick either to-
night or tomorrow, although
there is no set schedule.

CHARITY SAVING
j. s. BORAH

Warning that the only thing
saving the United States from
revolution at the present time is
the charity of the people" Sen
ator William E. Borah (R0 Of
Idaho today appealed to the ma
tion to remember the suffering
millions this Christmas Eve.
In a radio address broadcast
throughout the country and to
Europe over the N. B. c. system,
Senator Borah admitted the Con-
gress did not know what to do
to solve the economic problem.
Declaring charity at the pres
ent time is holding society to-
gether, Borah said were it not
for this applied humanity" men,
women and children would starve.
He added:
But before they would starve
they would likely turn and
wreck our institutions and
smash our entire economic sys-
tenn.
ct is but simple truth, there
fore, to say that those who are
contributing and administering
to the needy, the SICK and the
hungry are not only serving un-
fortunate men and women but
they are serving their country
and their Government"

day for consideration of his bill
legalizing 80 per cent beer.
Bingham said he would Substi-

concession failed to stem the
opposition. His motion was
