helping to do And you are doing it in spite of
generally inadequate pay scales, overcrowded

problems.
We cannot forget that our company has very
real stake in the results of your guidance and
leadership Quite suddenly these boys and girls of
yours will become the workers. the farmers, the
stockholders and the customers upon whom we
depend for existence.

handled separately, although a move
will be made to make the terminal
dates the same, according to agree
ments reached by House and Senate
conferees.

mittee still are at loggerheads as to
when rent controls should end. They
are to meet again next week to iron
out remaining differences between
the House and Senate bills.

tinuation of the Districts controls

nate local option" provision which

troll within their borders when they

of the national bill contain pro-
visions whereby renters could "mu-
tually agree" with their landlords
for a Is per cent rent increase. In
return. the renters would get leases
guaranteeing their continued occu-
pancy at no higher charge through
December 81, 1948.

to set up local advisory boards in
each defense rental area. These
boards would submit recommends
tions for rent increases or removal
Iof ceilings to the national rent ad-
ministrator. The recommendations
would go into effect automatically
unless the administrator ruled
otherwise within 80 days.

tive agreement to scrap a Senate

Bill Filed 10 Provide
More FlexibiIity for
Episcopal Elections

Parishes and congregations of the
Protestant Episcopal Church In the
District would be permitted to
establish their own bylaws to gov
ern elections of vestrymen, under q
bill introduced in the Senate by
Senator McGrath, Democrat. of
Rhode Island.
The measure was referred to the
District Committee.
Requested by the Washington
diocese at its May 5 diocesan con-
vention, the bill is designed to pro-
vide more hexibility for Episcopal
churches here than now authorized
by law.
Present law, enacted by Congress
is successor of the old Maryland
Vestry Act of 1898, which set ur
qualifications for vestrymen and
rules for their election, at time
when the District was a part OF
Maryland.
TIE legislation now restricts par
ishes to a vestry of eight persons
four of whom must be elected each
year at a specified time. There
had been a growing sentiment
church leaders said, for more
f1exibility.
The diocesan convention author.
lied appointment of a special com.
mittee to seek such legislation a.
that introduced by Senator Nc.
Grath. A similar law will be sought
in Maryland for the parishes oi
the Washington diocese which are
located in Montgomery, Prince
Georges, Charles and st. Marys
counties.
The McGrath bill would provide
that parishes and separate congre-
cations of the church in this city
might, by their own bylaws, pro.
vide for the manner of conducting
elections of vestrymen, the number
Of them and the length and term Of
their Offices.
The bill would provide the parish
or congregation might adopt its owr
rules at any annual meeting oi
members of the parish or congrega-
ton by vote of two-thirds of the
qualified voters present, provided
that notice of at least 80 days prior
to the meeting be given by the
vestry to all qualified voters.
Any such bylaws would be SUBJ
ject to amendment, modification Oh
repeal at any annual meeting with
the same 30-day notice.
