Truman Lauds Woods;
Eventual Approval J
As Housing Chief Seen
By the Asseeiotssi Press

Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods.
bearing new vote Of confidence
from President Truman, appears as
sured today Of another from the
Senate, eventually.
Mr.. Woods, who administers the
Federal rent control law, still has
not been confirmed for the position
to which he was named last fall.
Chairman Tobey said the Senate
Banking Committee has been hold
ing up action on the nomination
pending a recommendation from
Senator Cain, Republican, of WASH
ington. Senator Cain headed the
subcommittee which wrote the new
rent control law which went into
effect April /.
Before that the nomination had
been shelved, presumably so Con-
gress might be assured that Mr..
Woods saw eye-to-eye with it on
how the new law should be inter-
preted.
Several Senators had complained
that the housing expediter's office
cid not administer the l947 act in
accordance with the intent of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Truman was asked at his
news conference yesterday about
published reports that he was
thinking Of withdrawing Mr..
Woods nomination, submitted to
the Senate for a second time on
January g.
Mr.. Woods is doing a good Job
and will continue in it, the Chief
Executive said. He added that Mr..
Woods has been raising thunder
with some people who would gouge
tenants.
His only trouble, Mr.. Truman
said, is that the expediter is a little
too tough for some of these birds.
In the Senate there appeared to
be only a smattering of votes, II
any, against Mr.. Woods confirma-
ton.
