PREDICTED

Prospects for restoration of full

and establishment of cumulative
sick leave were brighter today fol-
lowing the optimistic forecast by
Luther c. Steward. president Of
the National Federation of Federal
Employees, in an address to the
annual meeting last night of the
D. C. locals of the organization.
Comm en- ling on the leave
measures that have been intro
duced by Representative Robert

chairman of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee, Mr.. Steward said
he confidently expects a favorable
report when the committee begins
executive sessions next week. The
bills would restore 80 days annual
leave and provide IS days of
cumulative annual sick leave, with
a probable accumulation limit of
100 days.

tending her three-months-old
baby. Upon the maids an
nouncement that something
terrible is leaking from the re-
frigerator," Mrs. McCrary
gathered up her baby and
rushed out of the house.
The police arrived and so did
the Fire Rescue Squad. With
gas masks over their faces,

ELLENBOGEN'S
RENT BILL To
GET D. K.
Subcommittee Report Made;
Real Estate People Lose
Fight to Halt Board

Washington's Government en-
ployes and labor unions have won
a complete victory in the first
important battle to set up a rent
commission here. The real estate
operators are completely routed
in their skirmish before the
House District Committee and
must seek to stop the proposal
This conclusion was clear today
with the announcement of Repre-
sentative Henry Ellenbogen Cd,
Pennsylvania, author of the rent
control measure and chairman of
the subcommittee that finished its
hearings yesterday, that he would
report the bill favorably Wednes-
day to the full District Commit
tee.
Bitterness Reigns
The full committee has already
approved Representative Ellen
bogen's plan and the belated
hearings were held only to allay
any charges that the proposal
was being railroaded. In this
respect the hearings failed.
The bitterness with which the
bill is being fought and the fact
that the committee had already
made up its mind in favor of the
measure before holding hearings
produced an underlying current
of resentment at the hearings
which caused several open breaks
Figures Analysed
All the real estate representa-
tives testified that rents were not
exorbitant; that the returns on
the investments were not exces-
sive and that there was no need
for a rent commission.
The figures presented were re-
peatedly attacked by Representa-"
tive Ellenbogen and Representa-
tive Reuben T. Wood Cd, Mis-
souri,. At the conclusion of the
hearings both of the men said
they were more determined than
ever to set up a rent commission
here and that if carefully ana
lyzed the figures presented by the
real estate representatives would
furnish good arguments in favor
of control.
It was also indicated that pres
sure will be brought by House
members to force the government
to build low-cost housing units
here for government employees
and several real estate representa-
tives agree that this proposal
would be a good thing.
