viers Mill Inquiry
To Open This Week

A House expenditures special sub
committee plans to meet early this
week-probably tomorrow-to pursue
its investigation into the viers Mill
Village veterans housing project In
nearby Maryland.
Representative Snyder, Republi-
can. of West Virginia, was said last
night to have been selected by
Chairman Hoffman of the House
Expenditures Committee to take a
place on the subcommittee. Mr.
Snyder is expected to return to-
morrow from his home State.
Either Mr.. Snyder or Representa-
tive Boggs, Republican, of Delaware
probably will take active charge as
head of the subcommittee in place
of Mr.. Hoffman, who said recently
that he was too busy to give his
full time to the inquiry.
Chief complaint against the prof.
ect, according to evidence already
in the committee files, is the price
of $500 being charged veterans for
the one-Story homes.

When reporters asked Mr.. Woods
what he meant by saying Mr.. Zet-
zer had been suspended indefinitely
the Housing expediter replied:
He is fired. For my purpose he
is fired"
Mr.. Woods appeared with Senator
Cain and other members of the sub
committee after a two-hour closed
meeting with the Senate group.
The Senate recently passed a bill
to extend rent controls. with some
changes, until May l., 1949.
Mr.. Woods said he telephoned
Mr.. Zetzer in Cleveland and fired
him Immediately after his session
with the subcommittee.
Asked how Mr.. Zetzer reacted
Mr.. Woods said:
HE said that was the way he felt
He admitted that possibly he should
not have expressed his personal
feeling in an official communica-
ton"
At Cleveland, Mr.. Zetzer told the
Associated Press he was asked by
Mr.. Woods to resign under threats
that if I did not, there might be
a congressional investigation of the
rent control program"
II believe that if such an 1nvesti-
CATION is necessary, it should be
made" Mr.. zetzer declared. II don't
think Congress has the right to force
the resignation of a Federal official
by threatening to investigate his
agency. That Is an abuse of power
by Congress.
IF there are grounds for an in
yestigation of the rent control pro-
gram, it should be carried out-with-
out threats"
Mr.. Zetzer said he refused to re-
sign, as requested by Mr.. Woods, and
decided to accept the suspension -

Oppose Voluntary Rise.
Senator Buck voiced no objection
to decontrolling new construction
and transient and hotel rooms. He
said he was opposed to the Is per
cent voluntary increase plans for
Washington because the rent ad-
ministrator here has the power to
increase rentals on the basis of in
creased costs. At recent hearings
some landlord spokesmen protested
that Rent Administrator Robert F
Cogswell had refused in many in
stances to grant sufficient rent in
creaSes.
On the House side, Chairman
OHara of the Judiciary Subcom-

Committee room on proposed new

later repeal of the much denounced
District individual income tax. This
exempts the salaries of Government
