By'the Associated Press

Morgan L. Fitch, president of the

Iiciously misinformed about housing

congress last Monday terming it "a
most unsatisfactory law" and calling
for a congressional investigation Of
"brazen operations" by real estate
lobbyists" =
Senator Taylor. Democrat, oi
idaho has offered resolution fol
an inquiry.
Mr.. Fitch said the new rent contro
measure, which also lifts many re.
strictions on nonessential building
"cfers the first ray of hope for full
production and effective use of hous.
ing that we have had in six years"
He added that Mr.. Truman "feel!
strongly about some citizens wht
exercise their constitutional right
to petition the Congress. But, HI
