The Capitol Is a great center of at
tack for autograph collectors-and the
pages have the fever. Almost any
member is called upon to sign his
name in albums some hundred or more
times day-and most all of them
are pleasant about it.
There is also another bit Of the

persons in public life A young protege
of Representative Billy" Connery,
chairman Of the House Committee on
Labor, has the credit among his aSso-
ciates of having the best photograph
and autograph collection. He has
been collecting photographs of nota-
bles for more than five years and
now has more than $50 in special
cabinet. He has members of the Presi-
dents cabinet and Of the Supreme
Court, etc. He has about a dozen
albums filled with signatures of the
biggest men in the country He con-

This youth is John B. Wells of Win

contact each day with most of the
members. IT remember first seeing
Gov. McNutt at the American Legion
parade in Boston, when he was ma
tional commander" Wells explains.
Il though then he was fine looking.
Later I saw his picture on the sands
at Miami and was determined to get
one autographed. The Governor was

be helpful.

Building and Rent Control.


With the administration devoting a
great deal of its energy. its time and
its money 70 ascertaining and remov-
ing the cause of the Nationwide
slump in the building industry. the
novel suggestion at the rent hearing
on Friday that real estate men in
washington are in conspiracy 10 stifie
building in order TO maintain high
rentals possesses the merits. at least.
OF being something new under the
sun. AS far as known. that particular
suggestion has never been made be-
fore.
In searching for the answer as to
why there is not more building Of
rental dwellings in Washington today,
due consideration should be given.
however, to the question whether nor
NAL building operations here or any,
where else will revive as long as there
is doubt and uncertainty regarding the
Governments own contemplated op-
erations in this field and as long as
there remains the potent threat Of
governmental seizure of private rental
properties for purposes Of drastic regu-
lation of rentals. And if it Is con-
sidered desirable to encourage private
building Of rental properties, the ef-
feet on private building operations of
making all landlord-tenant relations
subject to continued governmental
regulation, based on the alleged ex-
istence Of a dangerous" rental
emergency, should, Of course. be given
careful study.
Elsewhere in today's Star there ap-
pears an article discussing and review
ing the experience of the Washington
community with wartime rental leg
islation. While little in the nature of
expert testimony has been submitted
to the legislators in connection with
the alleged existence in Washington
today of rental emergency. compar-
able with that of war time, some of
the figures Of population increase in
the days Of the New Deal, compared
with those Of the war days, are of spe-
cial interest. In the course of little
more than year the population of
war workers in Washington was in
creased nearly 200 per cent: the popu-
lation Of Washington was increased
by about a third. Despite the large
increases of Government personnel
due to New Deal activities, the total
increase between February 28, 1888,
and March 81, 1885. amounts to only
Al per cent-while the large numerical
increase in the city's population since
1880 is about eight per cent. There Is
little comparison between the un-
paralleled congestion of the war days
and the conditions of today, and there
Is no emergency" discernable today
which compares with that of the war
While exploitation of tenants and
the objectionable activities Of profit
eering, greedy landlords deserves uni
versal condemnation and correction,
the evidence Of such evils should be
definite and incontrovertible. 1t
should not consist of generalizations,
but of specific cases, with the tenants
complaint and the accused landlords
defense given equal examination. And
when such evidence is established, the
question naturally presents itself
whether the remedy for such condi-
tions is the punishment of the tnno-
cent along with the guilty by taking
the control of all private rental prop
erty out Of the hands of its lawful
owners in order to get at the profiteer.

Inside DopeIs Giuen On '3Death Sentence" Feature
 and Lobby Investigation
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON. July 19.-Capitol Hill gossip has it that the real req son proponents of the death sen- tence' section of the utility hold ing company bill agreed to the House Rules Committee conducting the inquiry into lobbying" was that the Senate could do a better job.
 The Senate previously had served notice, by Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana. co-author of the bill, that whatever the House might decide to do in the way of Investigating the lobby" it would look into the proposition itself.
 Ever since the days of Senator Walsh of Montana and his Tea pot Dome investigation, the House has way of saying, When the Senate sticks its teeth into 8 thing, something likely will hap pen
 And many think something like ly will happen when the Senate, acting under authority granted it by the Black resolution and with $150,000 at it's disposal, starts in- vestigating the activities for and against the holding company bill
 Much information can be gather ed with that amount of money to spend, especially when there's a will to spend it.
