|Sparknlan Offers Plan
10 Keep Rent Control
Until June 30, 1948
BY The A.seeiotsd Pres.

Senator Sparkman, Democrat, Of
Alabama today offered the senate
Banking Committee q compromise
proposal to continue rent controls
until June 80, 194S, with no across
the board increase in, ceilings.
/ Senator Sparkman told reporter
he believes the other five Democrats
on the 13-man group will support
him and IT we get one Republican
we will have majority"
This would head off subcom-
|mittee meaSure-retaining controls
only until next December 81 and
allowing flat 10 per cent increase
which comes up before the full
committee today.
Chairman Tobey disclosed that he
does not agree "in principle" with
the subcommittees bill.
He suggested that some Federal
agency continue to administer rents
under mandate to act quickly on
legitimate landlord hardship cases. I"
OPA, he said, has been too slow
IN acting on such cases. He added
he would not insist that OPA be
retained as the agency in control.
The subcommittee bill would take
rent out Of OPA's hands at once
and put enforcement into the courts.

Veteran Coach Praise!
Caps After Victory
Over His Falcons

When asked about the Washing
ton Capitols, Eastern Division
champs in the Basket Ball Associa-
ton, Phil (Cincy) Sachs, coach OF
the Detroit Falcons, replied that
the Caps had the best club in the
league by far"
But" he added, next year things
are going to be tougher. Every
team will be stronger and better
organized"
Sachs, who took over the Detroit
club late in January, predicts q
great future for the new associa-
ton. He says it will be the best
basket ball league in the country.
Cincinnati-born Sachs has called
Michigan home" for the last 80
years, % of which he has spent
coaching various basket ball teams
to championships. His cage coach
ing experience includes all kinds OF
teams from sandlot to pro.
Sachs brought his towering Fal-
cons to Uline last night with upset
intentions and for three quarters II
looked as If the Motor City boys
might turn the trick.
The Falcons, paced by high-scor-
ing Stan Miasek and Ariel Maugh-
an, kept on the heels of the Caps
until that last period when Bob
Feerick, Johnnie Norlander and
Fred Scolari began shooting with
radar-like accuracy.
The Caps scored IS points in the
last frame to win, 99-67, new Uline
scoring record. It was their oath
straight home-court win and their
ninth straight league victory.
In the other BAA game, Toronto
came from behind to shade Pitts
burgh, $3.50, to hand the Ironmen
their seventh straight loss. The
Ironmen lost a golden opportunity
to go ahead when, with 81 seconds
left and Toronto ahead 61-60,
Brooms Abramovic missed two free
throws. The Huskies added two
points In the waning seconds to
clinch the game.

6. W. Feared by Rivals
As Southern Basket
Tourney Starts
By MerreII WhittIesey
star sioH corsspondsns

DURHAM, N. c., Mar. 6.-To the
good folks Of Durham and vicinity
the college basket ball world is the
20-mile radius that includes Duke,
North Carolina State and the Uni
versity of North Carolina. But
there's growing opinion among
the less prejudiced that George
Washington University had better
be included when talk turns to the
Southern Conference championship
tournament that started here to-
day
Sure, State won the regular sea-
son crown and Duke and the Tar
Heels have monopolized the past
tournaments with five and four
titles, respectively, but this is a
knock-down, drag out 3-day event,
in which the form sheet often
proves a terrific liar.
Although three coaches can
vassed here yesterday said they
thought any of the eight teams in
the tournament could win 1t, most
Of the others opined that 1t would
have to be George Washington if
anybody broke up the Carolina car
tel.
G. WIS Rausch Improved.
The Colonials received q boost
in last nights warmup session
when Jim Rausch cavorted with
the first five, favoring an injured
side, but definitely improved over
his condition OF the past few days.
George Washington will be the
most secuted team in the tourna-
ment in tonight's clash with WASH
ington and Lee, to be followed by
the f1rst-round final between North
Carolina and Richmond. OF course,
the Colonials will have to hold the
upper hand, as expected, against
the Generals, or the Scouts will lose
interest.
The first game this afternoon
brought together Duke and South
Carolina, followed by Maryland's
clash with North Carolina State
and its Hoosier Hot Shots at 4
o'clock. "If Maryland sticks to a
zone defense it might make trouble
for State" coach said today. But
for a team that handed North
Carolina U. one of it's two con-
ference defeats, Maryland has not
commanded too much respect to
date, mostly because it has had an
indifferent season except when on
its home court.
Final Slated Saturday.
Tomorrow nights semifnal at
fractions will pit the State-Mary-
land winner against the G.. W.
Generals victor and the Duke
; Gamecock champ against the win
ner between Carolina and Rich
mond. The final will be played
Saturday.
The f1rst-round losers will be win
ners in one respect as they will be
able to scalp their tickets and hotel
rooms at almost any price. The
model Duke fieldhouse, which holds
8,400 comfortably, will be tammed
with 5000 spectators for each of
the four performances and they
could have sold that many more
tickets.
tournament games will be broad
cast by Station WING at Durham,
1890 kilocycles, and Station WPTF
