Mrs. Ernest William Howard

Before Congress Committee of the

to the subcommittee resolution
adopted by the organization oppos-
ing rent control legislation. The res
olution follows:
1T is declared that the Rent Con-
troll Act for the District of Columbia
is made necessary by the existing
emergency resulting from national
defense
Aside from the fact that no legal
emergency exists. and that passage
of such bill would curtail one of the
greatest construction periods that
Washington las experienced: there
are other suggestions embodied
within it that enable. and compel
us to believe that Washington is op-
posed to this kind of invasion OF
the American home"
Frank Lyon. one of the largest
home developers in Arlington Coun-
ty, Va. told the subcommittee that
enactment of rent control legislation
would virtually stifle home construc-
ton by private enterprise.
He said he would be unable tc
borrow money for home develop

regulated" This legislation will
not build another house. ut will
limit building regardless Of whether
material is available" he said.

Hidden Industries
To Supply Red Army,
London Envoy Says
Fight to Go on Even if
Moscow FoIIs to Nozis,
Moisky Declares

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 16.-Russian AM
baSsador Ivan Maisky said today
that even II Moscow should fall to
the advancing Germans. the Soviet
Unions widely dispersed industries
would be able to keep the Red Army
in the field fully supplied"
For years We planned dispersal OF
heavy and light industries vital to
the war effort to guard against air
attack" Maisky explained.
Should Moscow fall, a catastrophe
which I do not believe will occur. We
will fight on, supplied by these fac
tories and growing industries hidden
in the Urals."
Leningrad Held Not Vital.
Although the Leningrad industrial
region is threatened by German
forces striking through Narva and
Pskov, the Ambassador declared
that area was not vital to Soviet
war production.
The British have song. It's
Long Way to Tipperary. Maisky
observed. well. it's long way to
the industries which will maintain
the Red Army against Germany
a long hard way by air or land"
Air observers here said proof of
Maisky's words lies in the Almost
total absence of German reports
of bombed industrial targets in Rus
sia similar to Britain's industrial
Midlands. They say the Iuftwaffe
has been robbed by distance and by
dispersal of targets on which II
counted in France and Britain.
Members of the Soviet military
mission explained the Red All
Forces equipment and tactics fol
dealing with the blishec
plan of German panzer attack.
Infantry Follow Tanks.
German tactics involve q smash
by the heaviest tanks of the panzel
division on principal detectives
these spokesmen said, with lightel
tanks, armored cars and motor
cyclists on the tanks.
They said the attacking forces ar,
closely followed by motorized in
fantry who tumble from trucks ant
try TO clean up isolated machine
gun and artillery positions which
have escaped the tanks.
Soviet aviation. it was said. ha'
developed two types of special plane
TO cope with this form of attack
one a win-engined bomber. who's,
cannon fire armor- piercing she'll
into tanks. the other a heavily
gunned fighter which swoops stimuli
taneously on infantry and deliver'
a scorching machine-gun attack.
These machine guns were callec
much more effective than bombs
against disciplined troops, causing
higher casualties"
Then, it vas explained. when the
Russian commander is satisfied q
break has been made in the con-
tinuity of the Nazi attack he orders
his own infantry, led by light tanks

from our home our son who was
al that meant life and happiness
to US. Whose smile was a living
beam of joyous light that was
ever a harbinger of peace to his

From childhood until manhood
he ever Carried with him that
spirit of good viii and brotherly
affection that was always evil
denced by his smile that brought
happiness to the hearts of all VINO
knew him. That frightened for
those who knew him not, many

over which all of the human
family must eventually pass, his
lovable spirit is always with us,
and We feel of him still as the
same. He is not dead, he is just

BUS ROUTE OR

Is SUGGESTED
PROPOSAL MADE ron puR.
POSE OF PROVIDING METH
Cd FOR BELIEVING TRkF-
FIG CONGESTION sz

Creation of a bus route or
jitney passenger service has
been suggested as a means of
relieving traffic congestion in
the business district here.
The proposal was made today
by Stephen C. Singleton. execu-
tive secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce.
In offering his suggestion, MIR.
Singleton pointed out that the
traffic problem has become Sc
rious- The problem, he added, is
aggravated by the fact that the
automobile is the only means of
transportation III Key West. ~

Mr.. Singleton said, THE time

Traffic congestion has now
reached proportions which re-
quire immediate attention. The
fact that once a car gets parking
space, it can hold it forever if
1t so desires, is abetting a condi-
ton that needs immediate cor
rection.
TO alleviate traffic conges-
ton, I think the time has come
to provide a bus or jitney serv-
Ice, and also to establish parking
meters
