Luce, Republican, of Connecticut
declared last night, when Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution are
being accused of the crime of re-
volt in the name of the extension
of those liberties to which our So
ciety is pledged"
IF our committee and the &C
tions of our committee are uncon-
stitutional and illegal" Mrs. Luce
asked, why doesn't Mrs. Talmadge
take the constitutional and legal
means which she thinks exist to
cause us to disband, or to suppress
our free expression of opinion, or
to force us out of the DAR?"
Il think the reason she doesn't" :"
Mrs. Luce told a reporter, lis that
she Knows that the cause we are
fighting for-the elimination of the
white only clause in the Constitu-
ton Hall leases-is a just, liberal
and an American cause.
I'm days like these there can be
only two kinds of OARS, those
who want to follow Abraham Lin
colin and those who stand with

Greek Thanks j. ).
Through D. {. Citizen

A poor mans gratitude for Ameri-
cas- aid to his family in Greece was
expressed yesterday to Ralph H.
Barrett, postal clerk of AL Manor
place NV, who accidentally became
the recipient of the sentiment.
Mr.. Barrett was walking in front
of the postoffice at North Capitol
street and Massachusetts, avenue
when a mailman, just starting his
rounds, handed him a letter. The
envelope bore the address ''U. S. A.,
Washington; Demand to Mr.. Post
man to deliver this message to the
first meeting citizen Washington's
town.
The sender was one Nicholas Cot
rolf, Grigoriou street No. 6, Kavalla
Greece, head of a poor family.
Some days ago." wrote Mr.. Cot
rolf, ito me and my family it was
done essential help by raiment.
This help came in time-because
we have been in very critical posi-
tion.
I'VE are not able to express our
deep gratitude to the same person
which clothes we wear now-so-
please; Sir, in your face, let us thank
all citizens of Great America for the
help to the poor Greek population
exceedingly suffered for about four
years with German, Italian and
Bulgarians-our enemies" The let
ter was signed: Yours sincerely,
N. Cotroff."
Mr.. Cotroff had underlined the
words: The first meeting citi-
zen." Mr.. Barrett apparently was
the first citizen met by the post
man.

recommendations with respect to
peace settlements.
But I confidently expect a peace
conference to be called this sum-
mer."
1t is clear that Mr.. Byrnes is
stalking his hopes on the pressure
of world opinion forcing a revision
of Russian demands to which the
United States cannot agree without
sacrifice of principles.
Mr.. Byrnes' speech met generally
favorable reaction in Congress. but
brought sharp criticism from Sena-
tor Pepper, Democrat, of Florida
who does not agree with Mr.. Byrnes'
view that Russia is chiefly re-
sponsible for holding up peace set
Elements.
Describing the speech as report
on another failure" Senator Pep
per said the American offensive for
peace was started with a broad
AK" He said "the Russians are
not going to make a peace as long

a total cost of about 100000 he
said. Some Of these, he added
would be for rent instead of for sale
and argued that the Wyatt program
to stimulate home construction
would ease the housing emergency.
At this point Commissioner Mason
broke in to declare Mr.. Rush S
arguments were on wholly fallaci-
GUS grounds" and Mr.. Lusk inter-
jected, Il think you are right"
1--WE have people living on the
streets right now" Mr.. Mason con-
tinued. you may have permits to
build houses, but you really haven't
got started yet. Rent control should
be continued for at least another
year"
In his regular turn, Mr.. Lusk said
he absolutely agreed" with Com
missioner Mason, adding "the reason
why we have our separate law is be-
cause we didn't want OPA. God
knows we don't want to take any
chance of getting under OPA, and
any one who believes the OPA will
end next spring is one who believes
in tea leaves or astrologers.
If we don't continue our own law,
we might get under OPA, and
Heaven help us If we do"
Adjustments Now Possible.
Mr.. Rush insisted that the orig
inal recommendation for the Dis
trict's own rent control law was not
inspired by a determination Ito beat
the OPA to the punch" but rather
to get law that would be equitable
and would recognize local condi-
tions."

asked for amendment to permit a

British See Byrnes Speech
As Pressure on Russia
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, May 21.-A British OFF,
cial today said Secretary Of State
Byrnes' suggestion that peace trea-
ties be turned over to the United
Nations assembly if the major pow
ers cannot agree on a peace con-
ference this summer was aimed at
putting pressure" on Russia to
agree to a 2l-nation meeting in
July.
The Foreign Office refused official
comment, but it was learned that
the British felt it would be even
more difficult to reach an accord in
the 51-nation general assembly of
the United Nations than in a peace
conference.
Dominion officials attending the
ON m wealth conference ex-
pressed informal support of Mr..
Byrnes' insistence that nations out
side the United States, Russia. Eng
land and France be given a chance
soon to voice their opinions.

rents over the freezing date of jan
uary l, 1941. He argued that the
cost of living for all items had in
creased since that date by 29.1 per
cent, whereas residential rents here
had gone up but three-tenths of /
per cent. Mr.. Mason and Mr.. Lusk
both explained that Rent Adminis-
traitor Robert F. Cogswell now has
authority to adjust rents upwards
when there is showing of increased
costs.
Extension of the deadline on use
of alley dwellings was proposed be-
cause of question as to whether
final legislative action will be taken
by Congress before it adjourns this
summer. Mr.. Mason explained the
use of alley dwellings was covered
in the slum redevelopment bill passed
by the Senate and now awaiting
action by the House District Com
mittee, but he warned this legis-
lation still was in "nebulous
state"
Financial Statistics Cited.
On the day care bill, passed re-
Gently by the House after extensive
hearings, Commissioner Mason said
it was opposed by the Commits
sionners for two reasons: That it
would put the Government in COM
petition wit ha function that be-
longed to private agencies, and 1t
posed question for the District of
where is the money coming from?"
Pay increase bills, he said, indi-
Gated a demand for more than S.
100000 on District funds, and the
1947 appropriation bill as drawn by
the OMahoney Senate Subcommit-
tee would almost scrape the bottom
Of the barrel"
The District. he said, has a capi-
tai improvement program amount
ing to about 100000, 900, and pro-
spective annual needs for mainten-
ance and development will run close
to $100,000,000 year. Some addi-
tional taxes may be adopted, he
added, but the Districts financial
salvation still would have to be an
