 CONGRESS
Says New Law Plainly h. adequate But Lesser
 of Two Evils

WASHINGTON. June 30--iR-- President Truman signed an exten- sion of rent controls today but told Congress the new law is plainly inadequate" and added:
 Tt is this bill or no rent control at all I have chosen the lesser of two evils. 7
 MT Truman in a 2,500-word mes sage to Congress:
 | Labeled the new rent law most unsatisfactory
 2. Urged Congress to adopt a six-point legislative program for housing.
 3. Called for a full Congressional investigation of the real estate lob- by, which he branded clearly sub- versive" and guilty of "a ruthless disregard for public welfare
 MT Truman accused the lobby of consistently seeking to weaken rent control and of being openly proud of their success in blocking q com prehensive housing program.
 He said the bill he signed into law "irreparably weakened" Federal rent control, but that he had no choice because rent controls would have ended at midnight tonight.

Alaska indians Blocking
 Pulp Timber Legislation;
 Hearing Is On Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, June 30. - R-- Efforts to work out a proposal ac- ceptable to both sides of the con- troversy over legislation authorizing the Forest Service to contract for pulp timber cutting in Southeast Alaska continued today. Alaska h. dian leaders are against the pro- posal.
 A hearing before the House Agri- culture Committee has been tenta- lively set for tomorrow.
 Delegate Bartlett CD.-Alaska) told reporter that a first draft of a resolution giving the Indians views of the situation was rejected by representatives of the Interior, Ag- riculture and Justice departments participating in the conference.
 The Indians claim the timber lands, said to contain 85,000,000 board feet of pulp timber.
 The resolution before Congress would authorize the Forest Service to make contracts with logging and pulp mill concerns, with the money to be held in escrow pending a final determination of the Indians rights.
 The position of James Curry counsel for the Indian villages of Southeast Alaska, is that if the Indians own the lands they should be permitted to negotiate their own contracts and fix the terms.

 California fishermen, blown 1000 miles off their course, were enroute back to civilization today after six
 weeks of near starvation on deso- late Pacific island off the Mexican coast.

WASHINGTON--T is going to be what the editors call think column. Working newspapermen all so call it thumb-sucking. Reason for the name is that supposedly you don't have to wear out shoeleather writing it. You suck it out of your thumb.
 Most of the time I am supposed to get news by crouching under the Cabinet table or lurking behind the scrap basket of a closed-door Congressional commit t e e-room. However, you get awfully tired of these crouched- under table posi- tions. and besides, even calloused critic such as sometimes gets worried about the way the world is drifting.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR GOVT. DEPTS.
 ARE NOW SNAGGED
Only Two Have Cash with Which 10 Operate Past
 Midnight Tonight

WASHINGTON, June 30-tR-- Congressional Fiscal Experts went into a huddle today over ways of financing Federal agencies as the fiscal year neared an end with only one of l2 regular appropriation bills cleared by 10th the Senate and the House.
 Only two of the departments will have cash with which to operate past midnight unless something is done quickly. The two are the Treasury and Postoffice Depart ments, whose appropriation bill for the year beginning tomorrow is on President Truman's desk.
 Both Senate and House have passed stop-gap measure allow ing unfinanced agencies to incur expenses in anticipation of their pending appropriations. But there is a question whether they can actually meet their payrolls.
 A Senate resolution permitting them to make actual expenditures is before the House Appropriations Committee. Some members of that Committee are reluctant to accept it because it permits expenditures at the rate contemplated in the Presidents budget estimates, which the Committee hopes to reduce.
 The Il snagged appropriation bills are the main business before Congress as it goes into the last scheduled month of it's session.

U. }. FLAGS COME DOWN
 OVER MINES
ent Restores Over 1000 Coal Produe-
 CTS 10 Their Owners
tBy HAROLD w. WARD

WASHINGTON, June 30-4R- The Government lowered the Am erican flags over more than 2,500 soft coal mines today and formally restored the pits to the private owners after 13 months of federal operation.
 The contract dispute which prompted Federal seizure of the mines May 22, 1946, still was un- settled, however, and another strike at conclusion of the current 10-day vacation July is a definite pros pect.
 With the Government stepping aside as operator, it will be up to the owners themselves to make terms with the miners. If they don't succeed by July 8, the min CTS are expected to stay home.
 The Government gives back the mines in the same condition it found them 13 months ago-empty of workers.
