Senate Group Oppose!
Federal Control Of
Commercial Rents
Admits Excuses Here
But Contends Problem
Not National in Scope

The Senate Small Business COM
mtttee today informed Congress
that Federal control of commercial
rents here and in other cities is
mot justified at this time" as the
problem is mot national in scope"
although admittedly serious in iso-
lated cases.
The committee reported that,
while is cases of excessive rents in
the District revealed some indi-
vidual cases Of grossly unconscion-
able dealing" there is nothing to
show that they are typical or wide
spread" or the basis for a recon-
mendation Of Federal control.
Two other committees have the
Washington problem under study.
Chairman Bilbo Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee has promised ito
consider" the matter when Congress
reconvenes November IA, while
Chairman Randolph Of the House
District Committee has been study
ing reports of alleged rent gouging
among commercial establishments
d. C. Committees Given Files.
The Small Business Committee re-
ported 1t had made it's files on local
cases available to the two District
committees, but at the same time in
formed Congress that it was mot
relinquishing its proper interest con-
corning the small business aspect of
commercial rent abuses in the Dis
trict Of Columbia"
The committees report based on
testimony in July covers $500 COM
plants of excessive commercial and
industrial rentals, 1900 of them from
New York City. THE record estab-
fishes prima facie the necessity for
State or local control of commercial
rents in New York City and to far
lesser extent, perhaps. in Philadel-
phia. Washington and New Orleans, ,"
the report said.
Need for remedial State action in
New York was described as "imme-
date and urgent" with such prac-
tices threatening "the security and
continuance of a substantial num-
Der of small concerns, particularly
in the midtown Manhattan area"
Agency Surveys Released.
The committee also made public
separate surveys requested from the
Commerce Department.. and the
Smaller War Plants Corp, both of
which found an acute situation in
New York City, but only scattered
instances of rent gouging in other
sections of the country.
Neither agency was requested byl
the committee to make a survey oil
conditions in the District.
A committee spokesman later ex-
planned that no survey was made
here as both agencies we're without
field Offices in the District.
Both the District Office of Price
Administration and the District
Rent Control Administration havel
reported they were without informa-
ton ON cases of excessive rentals.
The local OPA has no Jurisdiction
over rentals, the job being that of
the Rent Control Administration by
an act of Congress. Rent Admins
traitor Robert T. Cogswen has in
formed a congressional committee
that his Office was without data in
as much as it is concerned only with
control OF residential rents

Randolph Field Climbs To
Second Place; Navy
Back In Third
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. - (P) =
Army, by drubbing Notre Dame
Saturday, not only frightened its
own grasp on first place in today's
Associated Press poll to determine
the country's top ranking football
team but also knocked the Irish out
of the elite ranking for the first
time since Oct. II, 1912.
The South Bend Ramblers skid
ded all the way to eleventh in the
estimation of LOG of the country's
sportvoters, following their losses
to Navy and Army on consecutive
Saturdays.
The Cadets grabbed II of the
first place nominations, gathered
in Is selections for second place
and were third on two and fourth
on the remaining pair. On basis
of 10 points for each first place
vote. nine for second, etc., they
totalled 935 points.
Randolph Field climbed to Sc
cond place With ITO points, ex-
changing places with Ohio State S
civilians, who are in fourth place
with TAI. Navy, third a week ago,
retained that rating with 759 points.
The Buckeye drop followed a 81
to 10 conquest of Pittsburgh. The
Texas fliers conquered Maxwell
Field, Is to 0, in their most recent
outing.
Georgia Tech and Duke, two
southern powers, moved into the
top ten, displacing Illinois and the
Irish. Tech shared ninth place
while Duke, which spilled previous
| ly unbeaten Wake Forest, was
awarded tenth.
Michigan, cambridge, Md, Ma
Wy, Iowa Preflight and the Fourth
Airforce eleven at March Field
filled the remaining positions.
Notre Dame was lowly 22nd
in the poll of Oct. IL. 1912 but
shot to eighth place the next week
with a surprise % to 0 verdict
over Col. Bernie Bierman's Iowa
lSeahaWks.
The Irish were not dislodgeo
from the top group with the re-
mainder OF that season and were ir
first place during all the 1874;
polls. For the first three weeks
of the present campaign they
again held that position but were
pushed off the throne by Navy

end won't be available next Satur-
day when the undefeated. united
Els seek to stretch their win streak
to seven against the University of

The loss was Offset somewhat by
a report that Warren Jake" Hall,
groomed all last summer as quar-
terback, had recovered from pre-
season injury and was ready to
play his first game, but the coaches
still looked gloonily at the hospital
list resulting from last week S
Brown game as they put the squad
through a light workout.
Vandy Kirk, sub back who gain

and HOWE Carroll, who started at

they would not play this week.

cause Halfback Bob Kelly was not
in shape.
Kelly did not recuperate quickly
from the bruises acquired in the
Navy game, which the Irish lost by
a 80 to 10 score, and did not work
out the entire week in preparation
for Army.
He was in such poor shape that
we used him mainly as decoy
against Army. He carried the ball
only four times Saturday-but I
don't want to take anything from
Army's great team,'' he added.
Asked to compare Army a d
Navy, who meet in the seclusion
of Annapolis on Dec. 2, McKeever
replied that the game should de-
eide that but later rated the sailor
line as the better of the two while
crediting the cadets with more
backfield talent.
IF we had to lose-and we Irish
like to win as well as anbody-
we are glad to lose to Army and
Navy. No where is there a more
gentlemanly rivalry. Friday when
it rained at Bear Mountain, Army
offered us the West Point field
