boards wound up their business ses-
sions here last night by voting to
support their national executive
committees stand for abolition of
wartime construction and rent con-
trolls by March 81, 1947. The group
met in the Hotel Statler.
The vote to uphold the policy

group was almost unanimous, after
considerable opposition twice de-
layed consideration of the indorse-
ment resolution. :

ton called for lifting of controls

luton called for an increase of
IS per cent above the rent as of

that this would have provided an
increase OF more than 80 per cent
by the time of decontrol in case
an immediate IS per cent increase
was granted by OPA in line with
an earlier demand by the group.
Also requested were immediate

his knees, he was immobilized-com

his knees to make hasty descent
Mr.. Lawson improved his grip on
the swaying pole and began shouting
for help.
Passersby observed his antics and
gathered in droves in front of the
building, at 1922 F. street NV, to
watch. Mr.. Lawson, somewhat en-
barrassed but acutely aware of the
danger he was in, continued to
shout, all the while trying to shake
free of his trousers. Eventually,
the police were called.
Police cars and both the fire
rescue squad and fire truck COM

men cleared the spectators away
and the firemen ran up high alti-
tude ladders
Three of the firemen clambered
up and Mr.. Lawson was rescued. He
was shaken by his experience but
not noticeably hurt.
Just to make sure, Mr.. Lawson
was taken to Emergency Hospital

Mr.. Whitlam asserted that, in

The Australian amendment would

Husband 10 Die for Staying
of Wife in Greenhouse
BY the As3oc;oted Press

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Fred
erick R. Hills, AZ, wealthy Van Nuys
nurseryman convicted of killing his
wife and burying her in a squash
patch last December, yesterday was
sentenced to die in San Quentin s
gas chamber.
Superior Judge Walter S. Gates
ordered him delivered to the prison
within 10 days. The judge heard
the case without a jury, which the
nurseryman waived, and two days
ago denied him a new trial.
The body of Mrs. Doris Hills, AZ
was found last June, climaxing
months of quiet inquiry following
her disappearance. Hills story in
court was that he was standing in a
darkened greenhouse one night last
December when he was slugged from
behind. Graphing with his assail-
ant, he discovered that it was his
wife only after choking her to death
he testified. Then, frightened, he
buried her.
The judge, however said he be-
lieved Hills committed the murder
because his wife was planning q
divorce and he was unwilling to part
with her share of community
property.

The Nezena-s,4 .R19hzho1s4e
By Joseph Francis Albigbt

Gen. Omar Bradley, Veterans
administration chief, has predicted
that there will be some sweeping
changes made to liberalize veter-
ans national service life insurance.
Legislative recommendations have
been made to include lump-sum
payments, other optional settle
ments, beneficiaries who are not
members of the holders family,
and the reconversion to standard
endowment policies. The general
expects these features to aid in cut
ting an alarming high lapse rate,
most deplorable condition to
which Negro vets too frequently
contribute.

the navy's public information de-
partment. The discourse of the bril-
liant Negro public relations officer
was masterpiece of good, sound
advice on veterans rehabilitation
which made a big hit with everyone
present.
