Disabled Veteran
Seeks Home as
GIOwner Waits

One veteran is seeking living quar-
ters in the District area SO he can
vacate the house of another veter-
an, recently discharged from the
service, who wants to get back home.
Now occupying the house at 7121
Allison street, Landover Hills, Md,
is Donald Farrar, %, who has wife
and a two-month-ol son. Mr..
Farrar said he was discharged from
the service in January, 1945, came
to Washington to work in the Office
OF Rubber Reserve of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp, but now is
100 per cent disabled because of a
brain tumor for which he was oper-
ated on last March. He hopes to
get back to work before long, and
said his job is being saved for him.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Farrar said his
landlord was discharged from the
service some months ago and re-
turned to Washington. The land
lord, who Is married, wants back the
house which Mr.. Farrar said he had
been renting furnished for $50 a
month. The rent has recently been
increased to S125, Mr. Farrar said,
adding he believed the raise was
chiefly for the purpose of emphasiz-
ing the owners determination to
get the house back.
Il want desperately to get out,
and then the owner can have his
home" Mr.. Farrar said. But I
haven't been able to find another
place to live"

Congress Sfream|ining
Proponents Hope 10
Bypass Committee

Proponents Of pending legislation
to reorganize Congress today hoped
to take a short cut to consideration
of the measure by bringing it direct
ly before the House early next week,
without sending it first to COM
mittee.
A committee print of a bill for
reorganization was inserted in the
Congressional Record, without for
NAL introduction, according to Rep
resentative Dirksen, Republican, of
Illinois and Representative Mon
roney, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
members of the Joint Committee on
the Organization of Congress.
The proposal is substantially the
same as the La Toilette bill, which
passed the Senate June 10, except
for several changes which are said
to compromise controversial points.
Thus amended, the legislative re-
organization bill may be considered
by the House early next week if the
Rules Committee permits. The La
Toilette bill now is on the Speakers S
desk.
The new bill omits three major
sections carried in the Senate
approved bill. They provide for mi
nority and majority policy commit
tees and the joint egisfative-execu-
tive counsel; $4,000 executive assist
ants for members of Congress, and
enforcement provisions for the leg
tslative budget.
Other sections omitted, but char
acterized as minor, are prohibition
against special investigating COM
mittees, keeping records at COM
mittee sessions, docket day for men,
bers to appear before committees
to urge public hearings on their
bills, joint hearings of House and
Senate committees, and bill digests
in committee reports.

Remember? We said so every
time we were polled. We went to
Washington to tell the President
and the congressman. And what
did Congress do?
Well, most of our Chicago rep
resentatives voted right. They
didn't fight very hard for what
we wanted, but when it came to
a vote, most of them were on
the right side.
Their side lost of course. The

With the wolves of imitation

IF THAT'S the way you feel

We voted for price control
