OF fD.C. Rent Act
House Committee
Completes Hearing,
Ponders Decision

The proposal to extend the Dis
trict Rent Control Act through 1e46
received almost unanimous praise
today at House District Committee
hearing.
At the conclusion of testimony
from individuals and representatives
OF organizations, Chairman Ran
dolph announced the committee
would take the bill under considera-
ton and take no formal action
today.
Several witnesses proposed amend
mendS to the act, which has kept
rentals down during the war period,
as added safeguards to landlords.
Emphasis was placed on some pro-
vision which would allow property
holders to bring eviction proceedings
against undesirable" tenants.
Mrs. Helen D. Hoffman, executive
secretary of the Washington Hous-
ing Association, read a statement
OF its president, J. Bernard Wyckoff,
who warned that conditions of 1925,
when rentals "skyrocketed," should
not be repeated.
Housing Stays Tight.
The official stated the housing sit
uatlon here was 'as tight as it has
been in four years" and that the
! price range of homes already was
above that which many persons who
need housing can afford I'VE be-
lleve that extension of the Rent
Control Act is advisable and fully
justified" he added.
The recent reduction of the Gov
eminent work week to 40 hours and
resultant salary cutbacks was cited
by the housing group as underscor-
ing the need for continued rent
control. 1t was estimated that be-
tween 325 and $50 persons daily
apply at the War Housing Center
for apartments. houses or rooms

Washington Builders Association.
testified the act has done nothing
but good for the tenant" He praised
Rent Control Administrator Robert
/ CogSWell as "a capable and unbiased
administrator" and said his group
lndorsed extension of the act.
Endorsed by Many Groups.
/ T. R. INLAY, president of the
Building Owners and Managers As
soclation, declared his organization
was unanimously in favor of a one
year extension.
Others joining in approval were
Charles J. Rush, executive secretary
OF the Washington Real Estate
/ Board; the Federation of Citizens
Associations and the Federation Of
Civic Associations. Mr.. Randolph
read into the record a letter from
the Washington Board of Trade Civ
ing its approval of the acts extern
sion.
! Mr.. CogsWell disclosed that up to
September 10 the rent administra-
tion had received 23,8O2 petitions
for rental adjustments. OF this
number, 2l,9l4 cases have settled.
James A. Crooks. counsel of the
administration, said the agency was
IN better position than ever before
to carry on its job of keeping rents
in line.

OverruIes Protest
Of Concession Firm
At National Airport
BY DON S. WARREN.

The century-old boundary dispute
between the District and Virgins
moved step nearer settlement to.
day when the Hoey Subcommittee
OF the Senate District Committee
approved the compromise bill passed
June Is by the House.
Only one protest was presented al
subcommittee hearing. headed by
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of North
Carolina. 1t came from Frederick
j. Ball, vice president and counse.
for Air Terminal Services, Inc.
which operates restaurants. news
and novelty stands and the barber
shop at National Airport, which lies
partly in the legal mo mans land.
Mr.. Ball raised the old question.
OF reserving certain taxing powers
to Virginia and the right to con-
troll manufacture, sale and use OF
alcoholic beverages on the airport
Loses Some Tax Power.
The subcommittee, which includes
Senators Johnston, Democrat, OF
South Carolina and Young, Re-
publican. of North Dakota, overrode
these objections after few min
utes in executive session.
Senator Hoey gave the signal
earlier when he said ne could not
understand the objection, since Vir-
ginia now has such powers and the
powers would not be enlarged by
passage of the boundary bill.
Thomas S. Settle, secretary and
legal adviser to the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
went further in saying Virginia
would give up some of it's taxing
powers by ratifying the bill.
Clark Suggests Change.
Representative Smith, Democrat
of Virginia, who played a leading
part in adoption of the House com
promise plan. told this subcommit-
tee he considered the bill fair set.
tlement of an old and troublesome
dispute" Senator Hoey reported
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir.
ginia also had approved the bill.
Attorney General Clark filed with
the subcommittee general indorse-
ment of the bill, recommending but
one minor change in language
which the subcommittee approved
Mr.. Ball declared reservations in
the bill leave the airport a legis-
lative stepchild.
He cited the fact the Air Term
inal Services has paid the United
States more than S305 900 in four
years for concession rights. The
rates range from 5 to II per cent
on gross business.
Cites Gas Tax.
To illustrate his protest against
Vlrginias right to tax auto fuels
sold at the port for nongovern-
mental use, he said his group had
the contractual right to build q
filling station at the airport, but had
not done so because the Virginia
gas tax is 2 cents higher than
the Districts and amortizing the
cost would take too long.
The Federal Government built
the airport with its own funds" Mr.
Ball said, against the opposition of
Virginia, with the result that great
prosperity has come to the neigh
boring Virginia counties. Only when
it was demonstrated that the air.
port was bonanza did Virginia at
tempt to assert its taxing powers, as
distinguished from its police pow
ers."
Senator Hoey said he would seek
action by the full District Commit
tee as soon as the record of the
hearing is transcribed.

House Group Hears Amputees' Urgent Pleas
For Improved and Lighter Artificial Limbs

hTblllCldl liIIlDS issued Dy Llle ARMY
are crude affairs that any intelli-
gent person could improve on, a
one-armed lieutenant told House
subcommittee investigating the sit
uation today.
The witness was 1t. Sol Rael of
New York, tank officer, who lost
his left arm below the elbow when
German sniper winged him near
Germschein, Germany. A patient at
Walter Reed Hospital, he and two
other men who have lost limbs were
invited to testify before the Labor
Subcommittee under the chairman
ship of Representative Kelley,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania.
His companions were 1t. Howard
Morse of New York, a Coast Artil-
lery officer who lost his left arm
near the shoulder in the explosion
of Jap shell on a Philippine
beachhead, and 1t. Irving Krieger
OF East Orange, N. j.. who lost his
left leg below the knee when he
stepped on mine near Metz,
France.
Testify After Film Showing.
They made their protests about
artificial limbs after a showing be-
fore the committee of the Army
Signal Corps film, Swinging Into
Step" depicting amputees tying
shoelaces, raising soft drink bottles
to their lips, driving cars and pick
ing up change with artificial hands.
1t. Morse handed his full length
artificial arm down the table. 1t
weighs three pounds, he said. The
arms has a solid wood section sew
eral inches long. 1t. Morse said he
cannot raise the arm. 1t is too
heavy.
"I have gone down to the limb
shop again and again and talked
and pleaded with them for some
thing lighter" he said.
1t. Rael called the artificial arms
"hackneyed articles" He said, I'VE
who wear them-without technical
knowledge-realize how they could
be improved in some details.
Calls Program Haphazard.
This certainly is not an insoluble
problem. While the public is sorry
for us, the problem should be ham
died as national project, the same
as the development of the BIO,
instead Of the present haphazard
program conducted by individual
manufacturers, he said
Mr.. Kelley told the witness the
National Research Council is CO.
ordinating research in the develop
ment of better artificial limbs.
The witnesses were all of the
opinion that the limbs the Army is
giving them are the best available
but protested that the limbs are not
as good as they could be.
He told of Lit Keller" who re-
ported that he was very happy in
finding a use for the much-touted
hook given by the Army as func-
tional arm. He gave it to his young
brother who found it a fascinating
toy.
Civilians Also Testify.
After the testimony. several men
sitting on the public benches came
forward and told the committee
members their experience with arti-
hcial limbs. One of them was Frank
Fenton, national director of organi-
zation of the American Federation
Of Labor, who lost his right fore
arm in job-printing press in Bos-
ton when he was 16.
Its crying shame" said Mr..
Fenton, that the plastics and other
materials available today that we
don't have better artificial arms. I
got this one from Germany. 1t is
better than any American arm, but
it Is not good enough"
