On May 5 the supreme court
held 5 to 4, that one George
Harris of Oklahoma City had

indictment charging him with viola

Harris was arrested on warrants
charging violation of a federal mail

When FBI agents made the arrest

Against this measurement of the

well-financed lobby of the L. S. realty

Natl. Assn. Of Real Estate Boards, the
Natl. Home & Property Owners Foun-
dation and Natl. Assn. Of Home Build
ers.
OF these. there is Chairman Arthur
Binns of Philadelphia. who made his
mark on legislative history recently
by declaring publicly: by plugging
for a 15G rent increase, we might be
able to kill off rent control entirely
Einns admitted that any bill provid.
ing for higher ceilings would be vetoed
by Truman. and that even this con
gress lacks enough votes 70 override
a veto on higher rents.
Although the Wolcott bill CIR 3203)
pretends to extend rent control, il
carries that grant Of a $50 increase
where tenants agree to accept it by
signing leases through 1913.
The Wolcott bill also wipes out tho
office Of the housing eXpediter. and
with it. the chance that veterans hous
ing will make more than a paper start
because it cancels restrictions OF
scarce building materials and removes
controls over non-housing construc
