Mr.. Steagall admitted that the bill
did not guarantee continuation OF
the present rent control organization
In the District. Mr.. Randolph then
pointed out the danger that Fed
eral agency might reach out for the
District rent control agency and
added I'VE do not want to wreck
that program and know the gentle
man does not want to do that"
Leader Gives Assurances.
House Leader Mccormack assured
Mr.. Randolph that "the natural pre-
sumption is that with an efficient
local organization established as a
result of the legislation passed, 1t Is
fair to assume that such local work
ing organization will be utilized or
permitted to carry on"
The debate then turned to the
provision of the act which says that
rents 80 far as is practicable shall
be stabilized at the level OF Sep
D6HlDeI ID. l0fG. 41i. ASSe'Se'AA
pointed out that the September ID,
1912, level was not made absolute.
Local officials said that if the
September Is, 1912, level were en-
forced here, almost every rental in
town could be raised. Rents here
were established on the basis of
January l, 1941. Landlords could
seek adjustments on the grounds
that costs of operating had in
creased in the meantime.
I The exact status of District rent
control should the present measure
pass the Senate and be signed by
the President is not entirely clear
to local authorities. Mr.. Keech said
that he had not studied the new
bill closely and could not say posi-
lively that it would have the effect
of repeating the present law.
But the danger that the apple
cart might be upset here, unless the
amendment is rewritten, was plain,
he stated.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE board of
directors of the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs today asked
that women be given more repre-
sentation on policy forming COM

and agencies.
Declaring 1T is known fact that
women are not receiving justifable

ing to the President against "such
discrimination.
The resolution, adopted unanim-
ously, urged appointment of quail
fled women to policy forming COM
mittees of the various departments
and agencies of the Government" :"
Ban on Recordings Protested.
The board also adopted a resolu-
tion declaring the ban placed on
musical recordings by James c..
Petrillo, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians lis a
threat to musical culture in this
country" and asked him to rescind
his action. 1t urged the fedora
tion's entire membership to lex
press disapproval, to the local unions
and members of Congress, on the
basis that such ban not only inter-
feres with democratic processes in
this country, but is also a deter
rent to the upbuilding of the mo-
rale of nation at war"
A program to help recruit young
women for nursing service worked
out by the federation's president
Mrs. John l.. Whitehurst of Balti-
more, in cooperation with the
American Red Gross and the Ma
tional Nursing Council for War
Service and the encouragement of
retired or inactive nurses to return
to the profession.
Landis Speaks.
Mrs. Whitehurst recommended
that State federations proceed with
their State conventions during the
war provided such action has the
approval of State and defense
officials.
James M. Lands, director of the
Office of Civilian Defense, told the
women in an address that one of
the great tasks the country faces
in the coming months is the alb
sorption of more women into in
dustry and agriculture. He urged
that they work to promote an
understanding of responsibilities of
women in industry and agriculture
during wartime.

terious effect on the heart. The
majority of research indicates that
drinking does not cause arterioscle-
rosis. Chronic alcoholism may
lead to cirrhosis of the liver. but
sometimes this trouble is found in
abstainers. When the liver is once
damaged by alcohol it may also be
injured by other poisons which nor
mally do not affect it."
DR.. Cannon previously had OBJ
Jected to statements in the old
course on the effects of alcohol on
respiration, in part as follows: by
interfering with the blood flow, it
(alcohoD causes Inflammation of
the lungs. 1t increases connective
tissue in the lungs and therefore
reduces lung capacity. It reduces
the oxygen needed for oxidation of
foods"
Instead, the new course says on
the subject:
Alcohol tends to depress the
respiratory centers, but also tends
to increase the rate of oxidation in
the tissues. The two effects cited
ABOUT balance one another and the
total effect on respiration is of little
significance"
Warnings In New Course.
Emphasis is laid throughout the
course on the difference between
moderate drinking and excessive
drinking. The definition of an ex-
cessive drinker was finally decided
TO be "one who uses alcohol to such
an extent as to impair the ef-
flclency, safety, morals, health or
economic status of himself or
Others"
Certain definite warnings are in
cluded in the new course. For in
stance: Automobile drivers fire.
quently Use reflex responses. No
one should drive car who has
taken even one drink a shert time
before
Regarding the effect of alcohol on
skilled acts, the course says:
Such acts require the proper CO.
ordination of nerves and muscles.
Typesetters are slower. pianists
strike wrong notes, Workmanship
is inferior; sight and hearing are
less keen; one driving a car handles
his feet less well, and so on. In
dividual differences are pronounced
here. Small doses affect some more
than others. Certain people require
even large doses to materially affect
such actions. In general, it may be
said that alcohol depresses speed re-
action, eye and muscle co-ordina-
tion, and the ability to concentrate
ones attention. Alcohol is generally
an intellectual depressant. Some
public speakers, imaginative writer's,
and others who wish to remove re-
straints or inhibitions may use al
cohol in moderation as a narcotic"
About three pages of the course,
are devoted to tobacco, with state
ments both pro and con about It's
effects. Opium, cocaine and ha-
shish, or marijuana, are touched on
briefly, with strong warnings.
