committee plans to hover above the
city in the Goodyear blimp during
a rush hour early next week, he
said.
The Senate subcommittee ended
its survey yesterday after hearing
suggestion by Sidney R. Katz, secre-
tary of the Maryland-District In
dustrial Union Council &C. ]. o..
that it explore" the possibilities
of lower streetcar and bus fares as
one means of relieving traffic con-
gestion by discouraging the use of
automobiles
That's an interesting suggestion, !"

Gated by Mr.. Lovenbein. Such a
venture would be profitable, he de-
clared, even with rates as low as Is

Mr.. Smith. who first testified last
week, returned to present supple
mental statement which declared
the federation believes an increase
in the gasoline tax is not justified
at this time, and that pushing the
WhitehurSt program would conflict
in many ways with far more i'm
portant national defense problems.
In addition to suggestions for i'm
proving the traffic situation, the SUBJ
committees report will contain rec
concentrations with respect to two
bills it considered One, already
passed by the House, would raise the

Randolph Hopes Vote

President Next Week
Senate Passage Returns
Measure to House for
Concurrence in Changes
By JAMES E. CHINN.

House approval of Senate amend
ments to the rent control bill, freez-
ing rentals here at the January l
level, will be sought early next week,
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee announced to-
day.
Only House concurrence in the
Senate changes is needed to send the
measure to the White House for the
signature of President Roosevelt.
Representative Randolph said he is
confident the House will speedily
approve the revisions.
After a conference today with
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee and Senator
Capper of Kansas, ranking Republi-
can member, Mr.. Randolph said he
will call the bill up in the House
by unanimous consent. If any OBJ
lection is made he will ask that
conferees be appointed.
Without record vote. the Senate
passed the bill yesterday leaving
intact amendments of its District
Committee. The principal change re-
moved House amendment spon-
sored by Representative Patman.
Democrat. of Texas. which would
have made the investment value of
a property basis for fixing fair
rental.
Patman to Fight for Plan.
When the House reconslderes the
bill, Mr.. Patman said he would re-
new his efforts to insert provision
that would give some protection to
tenants"
"As the measure now stands" he
declared, 1T is land owners bill
I want the property owners treated
fairly, but at the same time I want
to protect the tenants. The bill now
is out of balance in that respect
It's certainly not right to freeze
rents at levels that were too high
on January l. And that is just what
the bill will do-freeze the robbery
rents, and I know there were some
on that date"
Aside from Mr.. Patman's objec-
ton, Mr.. Randolph said he did not
know of any other opposition to the
bill as it passed the Senate. Be.
fore calling up the measure in thu
House he plans to confer with Mr.
Patman. He also will confer with
members of his committee to fine
out whether they approve the bill
in It's amended form.
Randolph Pleased.
Representative Randolph declared
he was "gratified" over the actor
of the Senate in passing the bill
even though the amendments i
added will delay final Legislative,
approval for few days. The meas
ure bears his name as sponsor ant
will be identified after its enact
ment as the Randolph Act.
