For Action This Week
On District Measures
Rent Control, Home Rule
And New Courthouse
Are Leading Issues

With time running short,
House members in charge OF
District measures will make spe-
cial efforts to get action this
week on rent control, home rule
and the projected new Federal
courthouse.
Both House and Senate are ex-
pected to approve the conference
report on extension of the city's rent
control system for a year-once 1t
can be taken up.
Tomorrow is District Day in the
House but the whole program there
is subject to the fight over freeing
oleomargarine from its special tax
since the petition taking the issue to
the House has the right of way.
Agreement of House and Senate
conferees on the city rent control
bill, however, also has a privileged
status and is expected to be called
up during some gap in the oleo tax
wrangle.
Law Expires Friday.
Present District rent control law
expires Friday. The bill extending
controls, with some notifications to
next March 81, therefore, will have
to clear the congressional hurdles
and reach the White House for
signature by Friday night if there
is to be no break in rent curbs.
The rent measure continues the
control system basically as it has
been except that it decontrols tram
sient hotel accommodations, new
construction and reconverted prop
critics, completed after March 81
this year; and nonhousekeeping
furnished rooms in family occupied
dwellings where there are not more
than two paying tenants.
The House Rules Committee to-
morrow is scheduled to reconsider
the bill authorizing construction OF
the new courthouse. which is csti-
mated to cost sl8,665, 900. The Rules
Committee recently laid aside the
measure despite pleas that 1t be
sent to the House, for action because
of serious overcrowding in the old
court building.
Approval Expected.
There were reports at the Capitol
yesterday that the rules group prob
ably would give it the green light.
The House District Committee re-
sumes tomorrow also its closed door

mittee District charter bill for an
