E. Woods as saying the nation
needs stronger rent control

need for rental housing is great

opinion was based on his own
observations after an extensive
tour of rent areas still under
federal control.
Experts in Woods office are
now working on a new rent con-
troll law which will be recon-
mended to the President, and in
turn forwarded to the 81st Con-
gress. Among clauses which he
favors writing into the law, said
Woods, are:
1. Federal eviction C n r o l,
which in the present law is left
to local courts.
2. Federal power to launch
triple damage suits against law
breaking Landlords. Today, only
the cheated tenant can sue, and
the most the landlord can lose
is the amount he legally stole
from the tenant.

UOPWA board reverses
stand on TIL affidavit

NEW YORK OPP - The
United Office and Professional
Workers (CIO) executive board,
reversing previous decision,
announced it has recommended
that its top officers sign Taft
Hartley non-Communist affi-
davits.
The decision to comply with
the law was approved by 81
board members with five alb
staining. John J. Stanley prompt
ly resigned as treas
urer of the union and was then
elected to a new post as direc-
tor of organization. He was re-
placed by Bernard J. Mooney.
The compliance decision will
now go to the membership for
ratification. A similar referen-
dunn last August overwhelming
ly rejected compliance.
Mooney and UOPWA Pres.
James Durkin will be the only
officers affected by the affidavit
requirement, since the board
abolished the offices of vice
president and the incumbents
will now serve as division
heads.
The compliance resolution,
adopted after the Prudential In
surance Co. refused to renew its
contractawith UPWA on grounds
that its officers had not filed
affidavits, declared the union is
engaged in the most critical

While the pr sen law in
structs the housing eXpediter to
kill rent control wherever the
need for rental housing has been
reasonably met, local rent ad-
visory boards have not often
found that to be the case.
Woods office has received 500
surveys of rental housing condi-
tions from local boards, $50 of
which have been processed in
Washington. Only six of these
250 recommended decontrol of
the area, and only 10 recon-
mended raising the area rent
level by given percentage.
Yet Woods has on his own
ordered decontroI of II rent
areas or parts of those areas,
following the general mandate
of the Both Congress and its rent
law. Of the 10 calls for percent
age boosts, five have been grant
ed, four denied and one is pend
ing.
Also casting doubt on Woods
sincerity was the national CLIO,
the director of whose housing
committee, Leo Good m an,
charged that the Housing Expe-
otter is fighting a sham battle"
for tighter rent controls.
Goodman asserted Woods had
failed to comply with "a rent law
provision calling for ''represen-
tative" local rent boards. And
he added that Woods was to
blame for 20 percent rent
boost recently ordered for Okla
homa City by the Emergency
Court of Appeals.
Another Washington item re-

Spence d., KY has promised
that the House will pass an ex-
tension of rent control until
March 81, 1850, and that effec-
tive enforcement teeth will be

who is scheduled to resume his
former post as chairman of the
House Banking Committee, said
his staff is already at work on
the bill.

pire December 81.
One Of t h e experts, at
torney Irving Steinberg, gave
some advice to those tenants
whose landlords are now asking
them to sign 30-day (month-to-
month"; leases, effective. Janu-
airy /.
Don't sign" is the advice.
Steinberg pointed out that all
tenants, whether they've had
leases or not during the past
year, are under protection of the
1948 Rent Control Act until that
expires next March 81. The eff
feet of signing a 30-day lease
would be merely to force tenant
compliance with the pro-land-
lord features of the standard
lease. 1t would give no protec-
ton to the tenant that he does
not already have under the Rent
Control Law, weak as that law
is.
At the same time, Steinberg
explained that tenants who have
received landlord notices that
their leases expire December 81
must not assume that they are
due to be evicted January 1. elm
legal terms" he said, these 60
day notices merely mean the
landlord does not want the old
lease to be renewed automatic
ally for full year. They are not
to be construed as 60-day evic-
ton notice"
Steinberg's advice was given
as Cook County Progressives
launched a three-way campaign
to help tenants solve mounting
rent, lease and eviction prob
lens. The three-point program
a p unanimously by the
Cook County central committee
calls for:
sExtensive precinct canvass
ing in every ward and township
on the rent-housing issue, call
ing attention to the fact that
t h Gus an d S of Chicago leases
signed in early summer, 1947,
are due to expire December 81,
and that the weak 1948 Rent
Control Act expires at the end
of March, less than 5 months
away.
Establishment of Rent Ad-
visory Centers by ward and con-
gressional district organizations
of the Progressive Party, where
perplexed tenants will be of
fered legal advice and aid.
Reorganization of tie an s.
councils in neighborhoods and
wards where rent and eviction
problems are especially critical.
A special simplified Manual
on rent control and t e n cy
problems is being published for
use of Progressives in canvass
ing and other tenant-aid cam
paign activities.
Attorney Steinberg said land
lords sending 60-day lease-ex-
piration notices may have either
of two things in mind: y they
intend to take advantage of one
of the loopholes in the 1948 law
to evict the tenant early in 1949,
or p they hope the new Con-
gress will enact rent law al
lowing for new and greater rent
increases.
If the landlords intention is
to evict the tenant, Steinberg
dvises the tenant to get in
touch with a lawyer immedi-
ately, and he pointed out that
the Rent Advisory Centers of
the Progressive Party will offer
legal service to tenants in this
plight.
The 1913 law left three major
loopholes for landlords to use as
q basis for eviction: - to make
way for occupancy by q son,

officials that they made substan'
tial impression at home, and abroad
most people take such matters al
their face value without looking al
their true meaning.
The hesitation of the House Rules
Committee to report out the stop
gap selective service bill is due less
to the fact that Chairman Aliens
proposal to pay bonuses for enlist
ments was rejected by the House
than it is to feeling in the COM
mittee that the draft bill might be
premature and might close the
door to further Soviet peace ap-
proaches.
This feeling Is spreading rapidly
among members of Congress. They
necessarily must look to the election
and, being busy with many domestic
matters, sometimes pay scant atten-
tion to the real meaning OF interna-
tional developments.
There is also a widespread sus-
picion among many Senators and
Representatives that they have
been misinformed in the past about
actual developments abroad and,
lacking time to analyze carefully
the executive branchs reaction to
Soviet maneuvers, they are prone
to think wishfully.

Stain Acceptance of Wallace Program

Mr.. Wailace's proposals are the Rus

to be outlawed. But the Atomic
Energy Committee OF the United
Nations, after more than 200 meet
ings, is forced to confess stalemate
mainly because the Russians oppose
effective control. We, therefore
are to open negotiations on the basis
that we destroy our atomic stock
pile in exchange for mere verbal as
surance that Russia will halt re-
search.
We are to conclude peace treaties

Senate Leader Barkley of Ken

man and keynoter, House Leader
Rayburn of Texas permanent chair

cially will have great power in the
convention, not so much by reason
of what he can do affirmatively as
by virtue of the fact that he calls
the convention traffic signals and
can flash the red light on people and
motions unacceptable to party
heads.
Reinsurance to South.
Their selection will certainly re-
assure the South that, no matter
how fractions it is, 1t will get fair
treatment. However, both Messrs
Barkley and Rayburn loyalty sup
port President Truman end were
famously faithful to Roosevelt and

Their prominence at the conven-

Chairman McGrath said it was:
Proper recognition Of their loyalty

Those comprising the still-stub-
born group that is privately striving

feel sure of fair and sympathetic
treatment in case their plans ma

Representative Rayburn is extreme
ly friendly to their dark horse, Su-

ment genuinely has hoped for a
settlement with the Soviets, when
a situation was established that
would not invite surrender. It is
several months since the Soviets
indicated to Robert Murphy, State
Department representative in Ber-
lin, that they would welcome dis
discussions. The department felt it
too early.
To bargain with the Soviets with
empty hands is to go to Munich.
With the United States defenseless,
and Europe in an economic quag-
mire, all the weight would have
been on one side. 1t was intended,
therefore, that negotiations should
await the passage Of ERP and a
defense bill Then the Government
might respond to Russian initiative.
! In Ambassador Bedell Smiths
conversation with Molotov on May
4, the American position was
firmly stated. as a basis for dis
cussions. The meeting probably
was speeded up by the pressures of
the Wallace campaign on the
Democratic Party. The Russians,
not wishing to turn down the ap-
proach they had asked for at the
Smith-Molotov meeting, did not
like a basis for negotiations favor

and with exquisite timing in Mos
COW and New York. The Russians
broke the story on May 10, and
Mr.. Wallace was ready on May II
to offer Stain a Russian basis for
negotiations, which Stain prompt
ly accepted. in a direct intervention
in our election campaign. Stain
began his response by qualifying
Mr.. Wallace alone as capable OF
conducting negotiations. Therefore,
Stain recommends the election OF
Wallace as the sole hope for peace.
No wonder Mr. Wallace, in quavering
tones, expressed himself as over
whelmed.'
