Heariing0rdered
On Commercial
RentCei|ings
D. c. Subcommittee
To Check Charges
OF 'Goueine' Here

Public hearings were planned by
the National Defense subcommittee
of the House District Committee to-
day to determine whether rent
"gouging" in commercial buildings in
Washington has become so preva-
lent as to warrant Government con-
troll.
The subject was reviewed at an
executive session called today by
Representative Murphy, Democrat,
Of Pennsylvania, the subcommittee
chairman. He and members of the
group went over complaints received
from small business concerns and
professional workers.
The open hearing will begin next
Monday morning for those who ad-
vocate controls for commercial
rentals. A second session is sched-
uled for the following Monday,
March 5, to hear the views of those
VINO oppose regulation. Chairman
Murphy said other hearings may be
scheduled as developments warrant.
Checking New York Act.
1hA' 1Moi pily odlu tlAC NdtlOildl
Defense Subcommittee was writing
to New York State officials for a
copy of the commercial rent law
recently adopted there, and for in
formation as to how it is being ap-
piled. He said his subcommittee
had reached no conclusions but
that the complaints received had
convinced the group there should be
a further exploration of facts.
If the committee concludes 1t
should go ahead with the question
after the hearings, he said, the
group would consider whether the
commercial rent problem should be
treated only as local matter, or
on the national level.
Favor Extending Modification.
Attending the session with Mr..
Murphy were Representatives
Combs of Texas and Healy of Cali
fornia, Democrats, and Griffiths of
Ohio and Simpson of Illinois, Re-
publicans Attending also was Rep
resentative Crawford, Republican, of
Michigan, the author of the bill for
commercial rent control here.
The subcommittee also reported
favorably on the bill to extend for
the duration and six months the
modification of the District mini
mum wage law to permit women
to work more than eight hours a
day and up to 54 hours week
where work conditions warrant.
Members of the full District Com
mittee are being polled with the
idea of reporting the bill promptly
to the House for action.

committee had received one protest
from Edmund c. Fletcher, Wash

Jimmy loved It, Mrs. Krug said
today. "But the monkey was
frightened. He was screaming loud
ly most of the time we had him, es-
pecially when our dog was around.
The dog and the monkey never even
saw each other, but the monkey
could tell when the dog was near,
and SO we had to keep the dog tied
up, too"
The Krugs stood It overnight, The
next morning, after Jimmy had
gone to school, they called the Zoo
and some men came and picked up
the monkey.

new HOSPITAL BEING
PLANNED FOR EVANSTON

FLANNED TUX EvANyIVN
EVANSTON, Illinois, Nov. %
(ANP)IA lily-white committee Of
public spirited citizens is planning
a new all-Negro community" hos
pital for Evanston.
The hospital will be constructed
''in recognition of the emergency
need for new quarters" of the 15-
year-old Community hospital here
for Negroes.
Evanston's two other hospitals
bar Negro patients and no amount
of juggling of space can accommo-
date persons needing hospitaliza-
ton say sponsors of the project. "In
such instances" said Clyde D. Fos-
ter, president of the Community
hospital board of directors, these
human beings are doubly unfortun-
ate for they have literally no other
medical haven to turn to-"
No mention has been made of eff
forts to crack the rigid color bar at
the ST. Francis Catholic hospital
and the Evanston hospital if such
efforts exists.
However records reveal in recent
months two Negroes have dented
the barriers at ST. Francis hospital.
DR.. Joseph Roberts, well known
physician here, died at the Catholic
center last week and several
months ago Louis Jennings, policy
wheel operator, was a patient. DR..
Roberts associations in medi-
cine were said to have gained
him admittance while Jennings
connections at city hall are reported
to have secured his bed. Such cases
are unusual, say old time residents
who have long complained unavail-
ingly about Evanston's hospital ra-
cial policies.
Meanwhile plans for the new
colored hospital continue. DR.. Ern-
est F. Title, pastor of the First
Methodist Church, is chairman Of
the sponsoring committee which
has already raised $4,000 Of a
goal of 100000 for the building
and grounds. Tentative site of the
institution has been selected in the
5th Ward on the west side where
most of Evanston's Negro popula-
ton is restricted by racially pro-
hibitive residential covenants.
The 1880 census listed the total
population Of 63, 120 of which 4,938
were Negroes or about 4.5 percent
Of the population. By 1910 the pop
ulation had leaped to $3.50 with
corresponding increase of Negroes.
Then there were 6,026 Negro resi-
dents or roughly IL percent of the
total.

Nozi Planes
 Hit England

London, March -- U.P0 -. German planes bombed England last night for the second straight night. but caused little damage and no fatalities.
 The hit-run raid was on a mucin smaller scale than that Of the prev- ious night, when Nazi aircraft kill- ed at least nine persons in bombing and machine e-gunning attacks on towns in east, north and northeast England.
 A communique reported enemy air activity" over both northern and southern England last night. but did not specify whether planes or robot bombs attacked the northeru area.
 One plane flew low over an East Anglian town and dropped c nuin- Der of small bombs, two of which exploded over the roof of a house in which a number of babies were asleep. One woman was cut by debris, but the babies. though shows cred with plaster, were unhurt.
 A terrific anti-aircraft barrage met the raiders as they appeared over the English coast and night fighters rose to challenge thems There was no immediate announce. ment of how many were shot down. but six were destroyed the previous night.
 Among the wounded in the pres dawn raids Sunday was one Ainera ican serviceman. An alert was sounded in London, but 1t was nos disclosed whether bombs were drops ped in the capital.

 The former Kentucky Congress man and Federal Judge thus will get the other half of the job left when Mi. Roosevelt summarily fired Jesse H. Jones as Secretary of Comm merce.

 White House Secretary Jonathan Daniels said the president had de- cided on VinSon's successor in the office of Economic Stabilization. But he said there would be no an- nollncement of that until the Sem ate acts on Vinson
 There was not expected to be any vigorous opposition to confirmation of Vinson as loan administrator. Some members of Congress have ob- jected to some of his policies. partic- ularly his orders imposing price ceil- ing on live cattle prices and his wage policies.

 .Stihened enemy resistance re- duced Marine gains to five to 100 yards yesterday. Hand- -to-hand fighting with bayonets, grenades and even knives Swirled through columns of sulphurous steam rising from crevices in the volcanic ter- rain as the battle entered its final stage.
 The Japanese appeared to have chosen to fight from cave to cave and pillbox to pillbox until they finally have been thrown over the high cliffs of northern Two into the Pacific. But last "Banzai" suicide charge such as has marked the col- lapse of organized resistance on other islands still is possibility.
 Even as Marines continued their yard -by-yard advance to the north, Seabees re.aired captured Moto- yama airfield No. in southern Two first of three captured air. fields sufficiently for hospita. planes to land and cvacuate the wounded.
 A Superfortress made an emer- gency landing for refueling on the airstrip yesterday after bombing Tokyo and took of four hours later. Eventually, Iwo'S airfields will be used regularly for refueling the B-29s and as Q base for escorting fighters.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, com mander of the Pacific fleet, an- nounced in a communique that 12,- 846 Japanese dead had been count ed by D. m. Saturday, an increase of more than 5,70O over the toll an- nounced only "A hours earlier.
 Hundreds, perhaps thousands more, enemy dead were believed be- hind the Japanese lines.
 Eighty-one prisoners had been taken by D. m. Saturday, com prising 45 Koreans and 36 Japanese Nimitz said.
