ALL TIED UP WITH
PRICE CONTROL

While the problem may be con-
sidered purely local and something
the federal government has no busi-
ness sticking its nose into, the pas
sage OF any general price control
legislation, now under consideration,
would naturally include rent control.
On the rent question. the ultimate
answer, if you don't care about the
costs to the government, is to build
more houses for low rent tenants,
wherever private capital can't do the
job. Congress has already appro-
priated about $500 million for this
work and the Defense Housing Cor
poration is building more than 10O.-
900 family dwelling units in 160-
some defense localities.

body who pays rent and everybody
who collects (which takes in al
classes except the people who OWN
the unmortgaged parts of their
own homes-should be interested in
watching the experience of Wash
ington, D. c.. in trying to get and
administer a rent control law. de
signed to keep rents from skyrock-
citing.
OF debbil rent is. of course, sec
ond largest item on the family bud
get, food being first. Where rent
takes up only % per cent of the
family income, or less. it's consid-
cred good budgeting, but when rent
gets above that. it's considered too
large a percentage of the pay check
and the standard of living is really
lowered because money that should
have gone to other uses is detoured
tc the landlord This is particularly
true in the lower income groups.
Washington is particularly hard
hit on the rent question now be-
cause of the influx of new govern
workers-55, 900 of them in the last
l8 months and from 1000 to 1850
more coming in every week. Nearly
every one brings an average OF one
dependent with him, SO Washing
tons population has gone up 100
900.
Although 25000 new dwellings
have been built in the District area
within the last 10 months, only
1000 of them have been for rent,
and 1000 OF these have been at $50
a month or more. Thus, while gen.
eral experience is that rents stay
at normal levels when there are
per cent vacancies in rentable prop
critics, the Washington level is less
than per cent. and the squeeze
is on.
Washington is worse off in this
respect than any other large city
in the country with the possible ex-
ception of Detroit, but there are
300 cities in the land with Army
camps or production booms.
BILLS AIMS AT HIGH RENTS
To meet the situation in Washing
ton, Congress is considering a bill
introduced by Rep. Jennings Ran
dolph of Elkins. w. Va. providing
for the appointment by the Presi-
dent of a rent administrator to
whom broad powers would be given
to set standards, hold hearings and
make decision on fair rents Appea
may be taken from the decisions tC
the United States Court of Appeals
and Provisions are made to prevent
injunctions or evictions, pending the
appeal. Continuation of undiminish-
ed services such as heat and lignt
is made part OF any rent con-
tract and any curtailment is made
a misdemeanor.
This is obviously law in which
the tenant gets the breaks, anc
while it would apply only to the
District of Columbia. The importan
thing about it is that Washington
rest of the country. If the expert.
ment works in the capitol, watch fol
will serve as a guinea pig for tht
efforts to spread the same idea tt
other defense areas.
