Members Chance to
Think Over 1920 Rise
BY the Associated Press

Locked in a wrangle over a
proposed 10 per cent general rent
increase, the House Banking
Committee today voted, II to 7,
to postpone all action on rent
and housing legislation until
April 16.
Chairman Wolcott said commit
tee members felt they should have
"a chance to think over" the hot
issue of a rent increase.
The group voted tentatively, 9 to
s, yesterday to include 10 per cent
increase In rents in a bill extending
rent controls to next March 81.
But when the committee met
again today, 1t approved motion
by Representative Kunkel, Republi-
can. of Pennsylvania, to postpone
final action.
The Senate Banking Committee
earlier this week unanimously re-
jected a proposal to allow general
10 per cent rental increase.
AS the House committee session
broke up, Mr. Wolcott told reporters:
THE members want to think this
thing over during the Easter recess.
This committee does not want to
make any undue mistakes. We want
to null it over and see if we can't
come to unanimous committee
action"
President Truman prodded Con-
gress yesterday to continue "effec-
tive" rent and eviction control one

legislation expires.
