See Steady Increase

I'VE saw "a Steady increase In
canvas backs, an even bigger p
increase in redheads, remark
able increase in widgeons and
an alarming increase in coots."
This year Michigan hunters can
make up a different bag TO take
home than last season. Canvas
backs and ruddy ducks preyiously
limited to three day, have been
removed from the restricted list in
the new federal waterfowl hunt
ing regulations.
Redheads and buffleheads, how-
eyer remain on the restricted list,
and only three of either, or three
! of the two species combined may
be taken in a day and included in
the total daily bag limit OF 10, or
I an species.
Restrictions against use of bait
or live decoys are continued this
year, and a clause has been added
forbidding the taking of water
/ fowls by using cattle, horses or
mules as blinds.
Daily limit on geese and brent,
except Ross geese which are
protected is six a day. OF these,
not more than three may be other
than blue geese. Twice the daily
bag limit of ducks and geese may
be had in possession.

Leaders Oppose
Pdtman Plan Of
Rent Control
Amendment Would
Base Rates on
Property Value

A vigorous protest against the
Patman amendment to the House
District rent-control bill was made
today before the Senate District
Committee as it opened hearings on
the legislation.
The attack on the amendment
was led by Chairman Randolph OF
the House District Committee, who
was supported by Commissioner
John Russell Young, E. Barrett
Prettyman, representing organized
real estate interests, and Harry H.
Wender, first vice president OF the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The bill would freeze rentals here
at the January l level and give 4
rent-control administrator wide au-
thority to adjust rents on the basis
of comparable accommodations.
The Patman amendment would al
low rents to be fixed on the basis of
the investment value OF the property
and the value of services provided
by the owner.
Assailed by Prettyman.
Mr.. Prettyman declared the
amendment would make the legis-
lation totally unavoidable" and
lead to the chaos that existed in
Washington during the rent-control
era following the last World War.
He pointed out it would force a ten
ant to 90 to the expense OF having
property valued-a proceeding
that would involve a long delay
before a fair and reasonable rental
could be determined on the basis
of valuation.
All interests concerned with rent
control, Mr.. Prettyman declared,
considered the investment formula
when the legislation was under con-
sideration by the Defense Subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee and abandoned it as an I'D
ministrative impossibility."
Mr.. Wender testified the bill as
it came out OF the House District
Committee embodied the best rent
control plan I'VE could have" The
Patman amendment, he said. would
make the plan most unfair"
Chairman Randolph, first witness
before the committee, expressed the
hope the bill would be speedily"
placed before the Senate. He ex-
planned he did not approve the Pat
man amendment but allowed it to
be voted one because there was not
| quorum of the House in Washing
ton when the measure was acted on
Monday.
Opens Vast New Field.
Chairman McCarran agreed with
Mr.. Randolph that the amendment
"opens up a vast new field"
Representative Randolph ex-
planned that Representative Patman,
Democrat, of Texas offered the
amendment because he felt the ad-
ministration would not have power
to protect tenant who believed his
rent was too high prior to January l..
Representative Dewey, Republican.
of Illinois suggested an amendment
to the bill as it passed the House to
allow landlords renting houses or
multiple apartments, where the
rental level of January l was $50 or
less per month, to charge SIS. He
said this change would protect them
against losses from possible vacan-
! cieS.

DC. Aides Expected
To Study Rules on
Right Of Way
PIun for Forfeiture
Of fCoIIuterol in Traffic
Coses Wins Fovor

District officials are expected to
make . careful study OF their regu-
lation covering right Of way at inter-
sections and look further into a sug-
gesticn for permitting forfeiture OF
collateral in speeding cases as re-
suit of 4 conference with Polics
Court judges and other District on
cials.
No final decisions were made al
the conference held late yesterday
In the office of Commissioner John
Russell Young, and consideration
will be given q variety OF ideas dis
cussed before any action Is taken,
according to Commissioner Guy Ma
son.
However, favorable comment was
given suggestions for permitting
forfeiture of collateral at court In
speeding cases, where speeding does
not exceed 50 miles an hour, rs a
means Of tightening congestion In
Trafiic Court and freeing police ON
GERS from court testimony 50 they
can spend more time policing the
streets.
Los Angeles Plan Cited.
CORPORATION Counsel Richmond B
Keech apparently won support Tor
his conviction that legislation would
be needed in this regard, particular
ly because the present law sets up
Increased penalties for second and
third offense speeding convictions
Police Court judges, it was said, Sug-
gested it would be desirable to have
legislation drawn.
One Judge called attention to the
Los Angeles plan, under which an
accused speeder agrees to plead
guilty in court before the policeman
is excused from court appearance
The point has been made that
simple forfeiture of collateral does
not count as a conviction and this
would upset the District system as
to increased penalties for second and
third ofenses. Arguments have been
advanced, however, that most speed
ers plead guilty and that there are
relatively few second and third
speeding oftense cases taken to court
Right of Way Rule.
One of the judges attending the
session was said to have protested
that the present right of way rule
here leads motorists to rush into
intersections Ito beat the other
driver" causing unnecessary haz-
ards and accidents. The rule, as to
intersections, is that the car on the
right has the right of way Except
where there are stop signs) If that
car entered the intersection first

Action Is Token us Work
Enters More Fully Into
Operations Field

The Commissioners Council OF
Defense was abolished today by the
city heads, but at the same time its
committees and members were in
corpora.ed under a new Civilian De-
fense Council.
This formality was taken to bring
the District setup more directly in
line with the program of the Once

council was established, Commis-
sioner Young has been designated
as civilian defense co-ordinator for
the Washington Metropolitan area
and Col. Lemuel Bolles has been de-
tailed as civilian defense director.
Most Of Work Was Planning.
In the beginning most of the work
of the council was advisory or plan
ming, with little in the way of op-
erations, except as to work of volun-
teers under the Recreation Commit
tee. Col. Bolles explained today the
District organization is now getting
more and more into the operating
side Of the picture.
He had in mind enlistment and
training of volunteer policemen and
firemen and establishment of air
raid protection services.
At the same time Col. Bolles an
nounced plans for public ceremony
at $3.50 pm. tomorrow on the park
area north of the Commerce Build
ing for dedication of a huge bill
board picture panel illustrating the
four freedoms outlined as objectives
by President Roosevelt in his jan
uary pronouncement-freedom OF
worship, freedom of speech. freedom
from want and freedom from fear.
Designed by French Artist.
The picture panel was designed
by Jean Carlu, French artist who
came to the United States for the
New York World Fair and remained
here. taking out his first citizenship
papers.
The opening Of this exhibit is
prelude to the Washington program
for Civilian Defense Week, to be
observed nationally next week.
While the exhibit is in Washing
ton Boy Scouts will form colol
guard and a Scout bugler will play
when the flag is lowered.

day to investigate the fire, estimated
the damage at between $4,000 and
$15, 900, and said it was insured. He
