0PA Plans 10 Revive
June 80 Rent CeiIinqs
# Bill Becomes Law
Agency Won't Have Power
To Order Refunds for
Increases, Official Says
BY the Associoted Press

An official said today OPA
plans to re-establish June 80
rent ceilings if the pending bill
to revive controls becomes law.
The OPA official who withheld
use of his name, told reporters that
the former rent ceilings will be re-
stored in $40 areas which we're
under controls when the law lapsed
Revival legislation pending at the
Capitol. he explained, gives OPA no
authority to order refunds in the
case of any rent increases already
collected by landlords for the period
when rent controls were not in
effect.
No Final Decision on Refunds.
OPA has made no final decision
yet on what course it will follow on
increases already collected for any
period beyond the effective date of
a revival law Officials said. the
likelihood is that increases actually
collected for the period beyond Au-
gust / will have to be refunded.
Present plans are that eviction
notices served prior to July / under
OPA regulations will date from the
day they were issued, despite the
lapse of controls.
For example, if a landlord OBJ
tanned an OPA eviction certificate
on July l, the notice would date
from that time even though rent
controls lapsed July /.
Eviction Notices.
In most areas OPA required
six-month notice for eviction. In
a few places only a three month
notice was required.
On eviction notices served under
local law during the lapse of Federal
controls, OPA's tentative plans are
to refuse to recognize these unless
a court judgment actually has been
executed before Federal controls
are revived. This means landlords
would have to proceed under OPA
regulations.
OPA officials expressed the opin-
ion that where evictions already
have occurred, OPA will have no
authority to restore tenants to
dwellings they have been forced to
vacnte

Sharply on Light Market
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 23-Trading in
both cattle and hogs stepped up on
the light supplies today and beef

so cents and ST higher. respectively
Many loads of choice hogs brought

peak reached last Wednesday and
s665 higher than OPA ceiling prices,
subsidies not considered
On cattle the best price was $26,

unlikely to reach the average dining
table, but slightly less qualified beef

tween S22 and $25. The top COM
pared with an all-time high of just
IS cents more, and an OPA ceiling
price of Sl8, or s8 less, subsidies not
included.

Says Carson, Freeman
Attempted TO PIoy
On Her Sympathy
BY the Assoeioted Press

Red-haired Jean Bates, former
secretary in the Washington
office of the Carson munitions
combine, said today that Joseph
Freeman and Henry Carson had
asked her to be "hazy" in testi-
flying before the Senate War In
vestigating Committee.
She testified that Mr.. Freeman
and Mr.. Carson, officials in the
combine, had attempted to play
upon my sympathy" when she met
their request with refusal to per
jure myself"
They were particularly anxious
she said, to prevent her from telling
the committee, under oath, that she
had seen Albert jacobson, s9,9T5-a
year War Department consultant, In
the combines Washington Office.
The conversation with her former
employers, she related, took place or
July l2-the same day she appeared
before an executive session of the
committee to tell what she knew
about the affairs of the combine.
She said that Mrs. Freeman, hac
called her away from her brothers
birthday party to the Freeman home
where she met both Mr.. Freeman
and Mr.. Carson.
They asked her first what she
had told the committee in private
session, she said, and then quickly
got to the point of Mr.. Jacobson
Mr.. Jacobson has appeared before
the committee twice. First he testi-
fed that he had never been in the
combines office and didn't know
where it was located At later
hearing he corrected his testimony
and said he had gone to the Office
twice to pick up souvenir shells.

Final Congress Action
On TideIands Oil Bill
Is Expected Soon
BorkIey Hopes Truman
Will Veto Measure
Fovorine States
ey the Associoted Press

Congress appeared ready today
to send the politically explosive
tidelands bill to President Tru-
mans desk.
But even legislators who think
they sometimes know the White
House attitude in advance admit
they are puzzled about its fate.
Granting the States clear title to
oil-rich tidelands extending three
miles or more into the ocean, the
bill involves long-standing contro-
versy between Edwin w. Pauley and
former Secretary of the Interior
Harold Ickes.
Despite the vigorous opposition OF
Majority Leader Barkley, the Sem
ate passed the measure by 44-to-34
vote yesterday and sent it back
to the House for expected early
agreement on its final form. Bark
ley said he hopes the President will
veto it.
Would Be Slap at PauIey.
But any such action would be a
slap at Mr. Pauley, California Oil
man who favors State ownership
And it would be a feather in the
cap of Mr.. Ickes, who has been
critical of the President since he re-
signed from the cabinet.
/ Mr.. Ickes quit in huff over Mr.
Truman's assertion that the cabinet
member might have been wrong in
his testimony before the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee during
hearings on Mr.. Pauley's nomina
ton to be Undersecretary of the
Navy. Mr.. Ickes had said Mr.
Pauley suggested to him in 1914
that Democratic campaign contri-
buttons could be raised from inter-
ested oil men if the Government
would renounce its claims to the
| tidelands.
Mr.. Pauley, whose nomination
later was withdrawn, denied that
he made any such proposal. Mr.
| Pauley now is Mr.. Truman's repara
tions commissioner.
AS it stands the tidelands bill
would leave in unchallenged effect
