HOUSE MAY VOTE
ON RENT CONTROL
Rules Committed Will
Limit Debate On Amend
ments To Rent Bill

WASHINGTON, April % -U.H-
The House Rules committee to-
day agreed to limit debate on
legislation to extend Federal rent
control but to give the House a
chance to vote on amendments
either to abolish it or grant an
immediate nationwide rent in
rease
The House may take up the bill
tomorrow. AS approved by the
Banking committee, it would bar a
general rise and extend controls
until at least December 81. They
are now scheduled to expire June
30.
In sending the measure to the
floor under an open rule, the COM
mittee cleared the way for votes
on a series of amendments. Chlet
among them is one to permit an
immediate general 10 Ter cent
rent hike. Another would dlscon-
tinue all controls after June ~.
Members Protest
Although it voted against a gen.
eral increase now, the Banking
committee amended the bill to
permit landlords and tenants to
enter into a mutual agreement rals-
ing rents IS per cent, provided
they signed a lease extending De-
yond December 81, 1913. In a
minority report attacking this pro-
vision, Reps. Donald l.. O"Toole.
D., N. Y, and Frank Buchanan,
D.. Pa, called it "a hidden 10 per
cent rent increase" They claimed
landlords would use the "volun-
tarv" feature as a "whip" over
tenants.
The bill permits an additional
control extension, without further
congressional action, fro Decem-
Der 81 until March 81, 1913, f the
president considers it necessary
and notifies congress of IS tlnd-
ings by December Is. 1t would

agency to be chosen by the presl-
dent.
Similar Bill
A similar bill has been approved
by the Senate Banking committee.
but it would keep Creedon's agen-
cy intact and give him control
over rent ope1 .tions. The senate
measure, likewise barring a gen.
eral increase, would extend con-
trolls to March 1, next year. In
an effort to get the program back
on a hometown" basis, il would
set up voluntary boards in rental
areas throughout the country to
recommend decontrol, areu in
creases, and action on individual
landlords hardship cases.

Keller Sees Himself
AS Probable Starter
BY the Assoeioted Press

FREDERICK, Md, Dec. 90
Charley Keller, slugging New York
Yankee outfielder, listed himself as
probable" starter next season,
although he was equally optimistic
with medical reports that he would
recover fully from a spinal opera
ton which cut short his playing
last year.
1T isn't sure thing I can play
next year." reported Keller from his
home near here. But I am about
go per cent hopeful. I really feel
fine"
Kellers uncertainty cast shadow
on optimism generating from the
New York Office after DR.. Thomas
Hoem reported favorably on the out
f1elders progress. Keller was op-
Grated on June % for removal of
spinal disc and sat out the rest of
the season and the World Series.
The 32-year-old outfielder has been
among the top hitters in the Ameri-
can League ever since he joined the
Yankees following two years with
Newark and his graduation from the
University of Maryland. Last year
was his worst in the majors with an
average of .238 in As games before
his back forced his removal.

Smallest Crowd of Season Sees
Lions, at Peak, Down Borons

Washington's hockey Lions are
beginning to roar again, but not
many folk are around to hear them
In two games this week at Uline
Arena they've furnished a total OF
120 minutes of exciting play, but
they've done it in comparative pri-
vacy. Last nights winning effort
against the Cleveland Barons in fact
was their best game of the season
here and it was played before their
slimmest crowd.
The score was made SO on last
period goals by Johnny Carr Harris
and Larry Archambeault as the
Lions racked up their first win of
the season against an American
League Western division club. The
game was deadlocked at Sail going
into the final 20 minutes after the
Lions scored twice in the opener and
once IN the middle frame and the
Barons Tailed once In the first and
two in the second.

aggregation is not the same as won
last year, however. Earlier Patter-
son topped Eastern, 57-34, and
Anacostia, 1881, which still leaves
the comparative merits of their
District teams undecided.
Bobby Rohr, only flrst-string
holdover from Coolidge'S winners
of last year, managed to put blan-
ket part way around Mel Baldwin,
usually Patterson's high man, and
limited him to 9 points. Vern
Schweiger took over top honors for
the visitors with II points. while
Patty Boyle led Coolidge with nine.
Patterson was in front all the way.
A couple of Southern Virginia

Forecasters Predict
Possible Snow or
Rain for Battle
BY The Asseeioisd Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. The
Philadelphia Eagles. were installed
today as three-point favorites over
the Pittsburgh steelers in tomor-
rows playoff for the Eastern title
of the National Football League.
A capacity crowd of approximately
10000 is assured for the contest
Weather forecasters say the game
will be played in temperatures just
above freezing and add there's some
possibility of light rain or snow.
Whoever wins the crown-and the
right to play the Chicago Cardinals,
winners of the Western title, for the
league championship December %
at Chicago-will make history.
Neither Pittsburgh nor Philadelphia
has won a divisional title.
The game also will break stale
mate for the Pennsylvania teams.
which wound up this season tied
with eight victories and four de-
feats. They've broken even in four
games the last two seasons. This
year the Steelers. performing at full
strength before a hometown crowd,
defeated the Eagles, 1924. Then.
few weeks later when they had
four players sidelined with injuries,
the Eagles trimmed them, 21-0, be-
fore a Quaker City crowd.
Van Buren Is Spearhead.
Flashy Steve Van Buren, the lead
ing ground gamer of the league who
established new season record
of 1908 yards in 217 ball-carrying
attempts, will spearhead the Eagles
But the Steelers think they can stop
Van Buren-and counter strongly
with Johnny Clement, the left half
back who was the Steeler sparkplus
until he dislocated his left elbow
month ago.
Clement will wear special brace
and says he expects to go the route
The other players who were side
lined with him in the last Phila-
delphia game are all fit for action
They include husky Walt Slater
the fullback who got off the injured
list two weeks ago In time to lead
Pittsburgh to a 21-14 win over the
Boston Yanks in the game which
assured tie for the Eastern laurels.
Steve Has Lot of Help.
Coach Greasy Neale, who has
been abed with cold but is expect
ed to accompany the Eagles here
tonight after a final workout this
morning, has three star broken
field runners to help Van Buren.
They're Bosh Pritchard, Pat Nc
Hugh and Ernie Steele.
Adding flavor to a contest which
already has this pro fotball-con-
scious city literally on its ears is the
promise of punting duel between
two of the leagues stars at this all
portant art. They're husky fullback
Joe Muha, who practically punted
Pittsburgh into defeat in the 21-0
game at Philadelphia, and Bob
Offers, whom Coach Jock Suther-
land lauds as one of the reasons
the Steelers 60 as far as a tie for
the Eastern title.

Archambeault's goal was the long
est successful shot here this sea-
son. It was during the last min
ute of the game and Cleveland had
pulled its goalie in favor of an
extra forward. Larry lofted the
puck from deep in Washington ter
ritory and it went the full length of
the ice and into the unprotected
Cleveland net. Carr Harris earlier
in the same frame broke the 3-5
tie by taking a pass from Dan Por-
teous and ramming it past Goalie
Roger Be6sette.
1t was Johnny's second score of
the night, he having fired the first
period score to balance an open
ing goal by Cleveland's Pete Les
wick. Red Raney followed with a
short one that gave the Lions a 81
edge entering the middle session.
There Lcswick and Fred Thurier
scored for the Barons and Bob Wal

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Steve Bel
loise has sent Tommy Bell back to
the welterweights.
Slow afoot but still packing a
powerful right-hand punch, Belloise
a 29-year-old middleweight from the
Bronx, dropped the 24-year- -old
Youngstown (Ohio) welterweight
contender three times and won a
unanimous 10-round decision in
Madison Square Garden last night
Outweighed by IL pounds, 1887

down twice from rights in the sec
ond round for no count and one
count, was dropped again in the
ninth for no count.
Referee Eddie Joseph gave Bel
loise the fight, 8 to 2-same as the
