Senate Passes Bill
Opening D. {. Homes
To War Workers
Measure Goes to White
House; Five Other Local
Proposals Enacted

The Senate this afternoon
passed and sent to the President
for signature, the change in the
District Rent Act designed to en-
courage private homes to take in
war workers. 1t also passed five
other miscellaneous bills.
The rent amendment would per-
nit a private family to take in four
roomers without being classified as
a boarding house. Under this def
milton a family could regain pos
session of room without going
through the court process of proving
the tenant was legal nuisance.
The measure was drafted in the
belief that many private homes that
do not take in roomers in normal
times, would make room for war
workers If they could do so with
out the necessity Of litigation to
terminate the arrangement.
The other bills approved by the
Senate were;
To amend the charter of st. AIMS
Infant Asylum to increase the
amount OF property 1t would be au-
thorized to own. This requires House
action.
To provide for the better registra-
ton of births, and to make the rec
ord Of illegitimate births private.
This also must 60 to the House for
action.
To require all practitioners of the
health arts to register annually and
pay q So fee annually to cover the
cost of regulation. This goes to the
President for signature.
To increase the penalty for in
decent exposure, by authorizing a
jail sentence as well as a fine, which
also is ready for the Presidents
signature.
To make minor amendment in
the law governing retirement of
Police Court judges, which goes to
the President for signature.
Meanwhile, Chairman McCarran
found 1t necessary to postpone until
Tuesday morning the Senate Dis
trict Committee meeting scheduled
for this afternoon to act on the pro-
posed new law to govern exemption
from taxation of the property of
charitable, religious and educational
institutions. Some of the members
