RENT LEGISLATION
TO BE CONSIDERED
House D. c. Committee to De.
bate Two Bills on Wed.
nesday.

With the continued postponement OF
a proposed joint conference between
the Senate and House District Com
mittees for consideration Of rent-con-
troll legislation, the House group made
arrangements today to consider two
bills at its regular meeting Wednes-
day, both Of which are designed to
protect Washington residents against
exorbitant rentals.
One Of the measures, sponsored by
Representative Dirksen, Republican. Of
Illinois, would freeze rentals as of jan
uary l, 1884. The other, introduced
by Representative Ellenbogen, Demo-
crat, Of Pennsylvania, would create q
commission to fix and control rentals
similar to the one that existed during
the World War.
Reports to the House Committee
from the Senate Committee indicate
it will be impossible for the two groups
to get together for the contemplated
rent conference before the end Of the
week. Chairman Norton, who has
been swamped with complaints Of al
legged rent gouging" from members
Of Congress as well as Government
employees, believes that rent-control
legislation should be enacted without
delay. For that reason she hopes to
have her committee take some action
on the two rent bills Wednesday.

S0naI Gains.
B'NAI BIRTH SPEAKER
ASKS EXEMPLARY ACTION

vention Byrns to Be at

Naziism would never have prevailed
in Germany had it not been for the
destructive World War, which bur-
dened down the German people eco
nomically and spiritually to despera-
tion, Sigmund Livingston, chairman
Of the anti-Defamation Committee of
the B'nai Birth, declared today at
session Of the fourteenth quin-
quennial convention at the Willard
Hotel.
Spurred on by the success Of the
Nazi movement in Germany. he de-
clared. individuals were encouraged
to sponsor the doctrines Of anti-Sem-
itism in this country with the hope
Of achieving either financial profit
or the glory Of power or notoriety.
In their efforts toward this end,
Livingston told the conventionists, at
tempts were made to poison the public
mind of America by calumny and
false accusations. Many Of the alleged
accusations were disproved by Living
ston in quotation Of figures.
Anatogonism Explained.
The speaker set forth eight con-
tributing causes for the antagonism
today, the first of which, he said, was
lack Of knowledge by the general
public Of the Jew make the Jew a
mystic character, which causes the
suspicion in which he Is held"
America has never permitted in
justice to prevail" he declared, how
ever, adding that "all faiths have
erected here their altars and worship
In accordance with the dictates Of
their conscience"
In urging continuation Of the fight
to clear the good name of Jewry, Liv-
ingston pointed out that zone Jew can
do more harm to our cause than hun
dreds Of others can correct" To carry
on the work will require the moral
and financial support Of every Jew
who believes "a good name Is better
than precious oil and rather to be
sought than gold"

B'nai Birth, gave a full report Of the
activities Of the group during the i've
year period without q convention.

SILVER REGISTERS
FURTHER ADVANCE
New York Bullion Price
Jumps to 68I2 Cents,
Highest Since 1926.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April l2-The bull
market in silver metal rolled merrily
along in the worlds principal markets
today.
In the New York free market, the
price of silver bullion jumped az
cents an ounce to 6s1a cents, the high
est price since July, 1926.
This was preceded by similar rise
in London, which carried the price
there to the New York equivalent Of
63.43 cents an ounce.
Todays rise narrowed the margin
between the world price and the new
price of Till cents, which the Treas
ury is paying American mines for
newly produced metal.
It was assumed in silver circles that
SIS soon as the Treasury's price is
equalled by the world price, the Treas
ury will make another boost.
Al today's level, the metal was
nearly triple its depression low of
24l4 cents, touched in 1882.
The further rise in prices was said
to have been inspired in part by the
assertion of Senator Pittman, veteran
leader of the silver bloc, yesterday.
hat President Roosevelt proposes TO
lift the price in orderly fashion to its
old statutory level of s1.29 an ounce.
II the world price of silver gets to
that level, it will be the first time in
over half century, with the exception
of the l9l9-20 postwar initiation pc
riod.
