Rents 1917 Due for
House Vote Today
By the Assoeia,ed Press

A fresh attempt to increase
rent ceilings by a fiat 10 per
cent was set for a decisive vote
in the House today.
The politically-explosive issue was
brought to a showdown after the
House voted. 127 to 4S, yesterday to
kill virtually all Government con-
trolls over building materials and
construction under the Veterans
Housing Act.
Representative Buffet, Republi-
can, of Nebraska, announced his
plan to offer. the general rent in
crease provision as an amendment
to section of the bill continuing
Federal rent controls for six months
beyond their June 30 expiration
date.
THE odds are better than even
that the amendment will pass" the
Nebraskan told reporters.
Gamble Uncertain Of Passage.
But Representative Gamble, Re-
publican, OF New York, a ranking
member OF the Banking Committee
which first approved, then rejected
such proviso, disputed Mr.. Buf-
fett's prediction.
Across the Capitol, where the
Senate Banking Committee also has
turned down any across-the- board
increase in ceilings, Democratic
Senators Wagner, of New York, and
Taylor, of Idaho, issued joint
statement saying there is grave
danger" that no workable extension
will be enacted before the present
control law expires.
Criticizing the Senate measure
continuing but modifying controls
they advocated extension of the
present rent program at least
through June 80, 1943. The Senate
bill would terminate controls March
l and transfer a large measure OF
authority to local committees.
