Rent Raises
Stopped; Now
Up To Congress

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 (LPA)
Organized labor got the credit
last week for a dramatic, 48-
hour drive that stopped a 10%
across the-board Increase in
rental ceilings, Pressure by CIO,
AFL and Railroad Brotherhoods
spokesmen on the White House,
on Congress, and on the remains
of OPA-the Office of Tempo
rary Controls-brought a split
second retraction of the 100
boost order.
Catching second wind, the
labor spokesmen are now fight
ing hard to stem the tide in Con-
gress for abandonment or Grip
pling of rent control. Greatest
danger is seen in S.415, intro
duced for the Natl Assn of Real
Estate Boards and other land
lord lobbyists by Republican
Senators Hawkes. IN. j., Cain
(Wash.), Carthy (Wis),
Malone (Nev.), and Capehart
(Ind.) This would y eliminate
all rent ceilings on newly con-
structed or rented housing; y
boost present ceilings up to l512
of present levels.
