New Law Needed
How the Big Business Lobbies
Take Money Out Of Your Pockets

every angle of the fight on price
control came from single
source; but the. most vehement,
most lavishly expensive, and
most intelligent and closelyor'
ganized campaign came from the
National Association of Manufac-
turers and large number of re
lated trade organizations willing
to follow the NAM lead.
1t was reflected in the letters
we received from trade aSsocia-
ton executives and their mem
bers and from individual manu-
facturers and merchants and
publicists and newspaper articles
and editorials. While the fight
of the vast and ramified real es-
tate lobby against OPA was ap
parently independent of the NAM
campaign, it was coordinated, oh
viously; the coincidence of the
changes and turns in the two
campaigns was too close to be
brought about by accident.
ON the other hand, the million
dollar lobby of the real estate in
dustry and it's allies spearheaded
the fight on every proposal for
decent housing for American citi-
zens and veterans of World War
II.
There is no doubt in my mind
but that the NAM and its allies
and auxiliaries and members will
ingly followed the lead of the real
estate lobby, while some branches
of the construction and ma.
chinery industries were openly
affiliated with the National AS
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards,
the National Association of Home
Builders, and their affiliates, sub.
salaries, and open allies.
This powerful lobby, represent
ing not only home builders. real
estate spectators, apartment
house owners and operators, legi
innate brokers and developers,
and their natural affiliates, but
such relatively remote groups as
general contractors, mortgage
bankers, and hardware and ma
chinery manufacturers, brick and
tile makers, and lumber pro
ducers and middlemen, have
fought every effort of the Ad-
ministration, in this Congress, to
establish the machinery for pro
ducing low-cost homes for Ameri-
cans seeking a decent place TO
live at a rental or a price they
can pay.

WHEN I first came TO Con-
gress forty years ago lobbyists
were here before me.
The railroads, the power COM
panies, the manufacturers asso-
Citations, and individual industries
had their representatives in
Washington. busily working in
behalf of legislation they favored,
or, if they felt legislation before
the Congress would adversely at
feet them, they would leave no
stone unturned to kill it - or
perhaps should say no Member
unturned.
The railroads were viciously
opposing, by every trick of influ-
ence, legislation, to reduce the
number of working hours for
their employees, proposals to out
law the old wooden coach death
traps in favor of modern steel
cars, bills making safety appli-
ances and regulations mandatory,
and any restrictions on the num-
Der of cars that could make up
train.
THEY opposed, in short, any
proposals, however meritorious
and needed in the public interest,
which might cost little money
to install.
The manufacturers associations
and the industrial representa-
tives opposed every bill which
would shorten the legal working
day.
All united in the most bitter
and vicious opposition to my
original bill to set up Federal
workmen's compensation system.
LOBBYING as l found it be-
fore the first world war was
largely a matter of personal con-
tact and personal persuasion,
when it was not a matter of per-
sonal corruption or private inter-
est on the part of representatives
and executives.
Today it is scarcely matter
even of comment when single
member of Congress receives
thousands of identical teIe.
grams and letters, all obvious
ly inspired by the same source.
This, of course, reached its
most scandalous proportions dur
ing the fight on the holding COM
pany act, when Howard Hopson,
lobbyist for the Associated Gas
and Electric Co., directly and in
directly brought about a deluge
of kilograms to Senators and Re-
representatives. so preposterous
that two famous Congressional
investigations, one in the House
and one in the Senate, were
launched and exposed the knav-
cry INDUCED in by the special
pIeaders for special privilege.

OPA REDUCED RENTS IN ALASKA IN 1945

Summarizing the l945 rent trends in Alaska Earl P McCar- ron, Alaska OPA Rent Director, announces that the sum of $37 ,52l was Topped off the l945 Alaskan rent bill, with rent reductions or dered in l57 cases out of a total of 726 registered as rented for the first time during the past year.
 Average reductions per unit were given as $18.83 per month.
 Reductions became necessary because of an inflationary trend in rents throughout the Territory, the Rent Director advised, observ- ing that rents had become higher than those generally prevailing in Alaska on the 'price freeze" date of March 1, 1922, for comparable housing accommodations.
 During the l945 period 29l land lords filed requests with the OPA for upward adjustments in rents, chiefly on the ground that they had effected major capital i'm provements or increased the serv- ices, furniture or equipment for the rental unit. Adjustments were granted in 57 per cent of the cases filed and averaged $500 per month per unit. McCarron ad- ViSed.
 A converted One-room garage in Fairbanks that was rented for the first time, at $1l0.00 per month and reduced by Rent Di- rector's order to S350O per month was cited as the most drastic rent cut involved
 That rents would rise to ab- normally high levels unless con- trolled is rather obvious from our records" the Rent Director stated. "We continue to have a serious housing shortage in Anchorage Fairbanks, Ketchikan, Juneau Douglas and Kodiak, with a less acute shortage as well in Nome, Seward and Cordova. It is of con- tinuing importance that we hold rents down to the 1922 level"

the favoiite. He covered the dis
tance in 504 seconds two weeks ago
in the Metropolitan meet, as COM
pared to the 51.3 interhigh record.
Ostrye also is expected to offer the
principal competition in the 22O.
Jack O'Brien, another Wilson boy,
and Gene Schroeder of Anacostia
are other speedsters entered in the
220.

and $50 contender and figures to
take points in both events. Other
