half an hour while gunfight went

where he dropped when "shot" was
covered by several large ant hills.
Waller let the ants crawl over his
face and hands, but when they went
up his trouser legs he could no long

action would have been expensive,
so the director solved the problem
by spraying the ant hills with in

Senate Likely
To Take Up Rent
Bill Thursday
Committee Drops
Valuation as Guide
For Adjustments

When the Senate reconvenes
Thursday it probably will take up
the local rent-control bill, which the
District Committee reported favor
ably yesterday after striking out the
Patman amendment, designed to
base rent adjustments on the in
vested capital value.
Chairman McCarran of the Dis
trict Committee conferred with Ma
jority Leader Barkley on the posi-
bility Of calling the bill up Thurs
day and filed the committee report
before adjournment yesterday aft
ernoon so that 1t would be avail
able to Senators in printed form
when the Senate meets again. 1t is
in recess today and tomorrow.
Permits Adjustment.
In eliminating the invested value
method the committee restored the
original proposal, that any land
lord or tenant may petition for ad-
iustment Of rent on the ground that
the current rental is substantially
lower or higher than the rent gen.
orally prevailing for comparable ac-
commodiations.
Senator McCarran said it was felt
adjustments could be made more
promptly under this provision than
If the rent administrator had to
delve into investment figures.
When the committee was acting
on the bill early yesterday 1t was
announced they had eliminated the
provision that employees appointed
under the Salary Classification Act
for the rent administrators offlce
should be appointed without re-
gard to race or creed. 1t was felt
at first that the reference to ap-
pointments without regard to race
or creed was unnecessary. because
that requirement already is in the
Classification Act. Before filing the
favorable report in the Senate in
the afternoon. however. the COM
mittee restored the original Ian
guage
Specifies d. c. Resident.
The bill makes rents rs of Janu-
ary l the basis from which the ad-
ministrator will proceed. with au-
thority to make adjustments upon a
showing Of changes in taxes and
substantial changes in operating
costs
The Senate bill requires the Com
missioners to select a rent admins
traitor who has been bona fide res
ident of the District for the past
three years. An earlier draft would
have permitted the appointee to
be chosen from the District or near
by Maryland or Virginia.
