The unexpected blooming of the
Tidal Basin cherry trees has forced
the Cherry Blossom Festival Com

scheduled for April 10 and II, to
Hains Point, where double blossom
trees are expected to cooperate.
The hasty change in the scene
of the festival followed this weeks
warm weather which brought the

according to George w. Harding,

Rent Bill Compromise
Curbing Local Control
May Be Voted Today
BY tho Associated Press

House members helping to
write a new rent-control law ap-
peared ready today to accept a
trimmed-down local control pro-
vision.
They were said to be studying
several proposals for setting up an
agency with veto or at least review
power over local rent board recon-
mendations that ceilings be raised
or removed.
The House bill as passed last
week would give these local boards
the final say.
Abandonment Of this strict local
control rule, to which the Senate
has objected, would remove the last
obstacle to agreement on measure
continuing Federal controls for a
year beyond next Wednesday.
Quick Compromise Seen.
A quick compromise was fore
seen by both Chairman Tobey and
Wolcott of the Senate and House
Banking Committees as they called
conferees into another closed session
at 2:30 pm. today.
Mr.. Wolcott indicated late yes
terday, after the second full day of
discussions, that some*modification
of the local control principle would
be necessary.
Every piece of legislation is the
subject of compromise" he said.
He refused to speculate on the
form such a compromise might
take, but other members of the
group said privately that several
plans have been discussed.
National Review Board Planned.
They said these included:
/. A national review board which
would be required to pass on local
board recommendations. Members
would be named by the President.
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
now has veto power over all such
recommendations. The bill which
the Senate passed would continue
this practice.
2. A plan to revive an emergency
court of appeals such as was set up
in the days of OPA to speed price
control litigation. Such a court, pos
sibly made up of three Federal dis
trict judges, would be empowered
to hear appeals from the decisions of
local board.
Whatever language the conferees
agree on must be approved by the
full House and the Senate before it
goes to President Truman for sig
nature. The present law, already
once extended 81 days, expires at
midnight March 81.
The agreement to continue Fed
eral controls for a year beyond that
date was a concession on the part
of the Senate, which had proposed
13-month extension to April 80,
1949.

Fight Brews as Senate
Begins Debate Today
On u. 5. Aid 10 Schools
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

A fight brewed in the Senate. to-
day over a bin to grant the States
$500, 900 900 in Federal aid for edu-
cation.
Debate on the measure was due
to start at noon. The Senate late
yesterday voted. SO to Il, to take
up the bill, overriding objections
raised by Senator McGrath, Demo-
crat. of Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Senator forced
the roll call vote after blocking the
Republican leadership's request for
unanimous consent to debate the
measure.
Senator McGrath, who is chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee. contended that the bill,
which is sponsored by four Demo-
Gratis and four Republicans, is "un-
fair and inequitable" to parochial
schools. He referred to a section
which says, in effect, that Federal
funds could not be made available
to parochial schools in any State
which does not make it's own funds
available to these private schools
Provides Sum for Each Child.
The bill would provide from IS. to
$25 in Federal money for each child
from 5 to II years old in every State.
The exact amount would be based
on the wealth of the particular
State.
Senator McGrath argued that
parochial school students would be
counted in deciding the eligible child
population, but that in some States
these children would receive no
benefits from the Federal grant.
He said he wanted more time to
prepare amendments to prevent
what he called discrimination
against certain types of schools"
Senator Taft, Republican of Ohio,
one of the bills sponsors, led the
fight against Senator McGrath's
move to defer consideration.
Points to Truman Stand.
The Ohioan reminded Senator Nc
Grath, that President Truman has
recommended program of Federal
aid for education.
Senator McGrath replied he knew
all about that. He said he favored
the principle of granting aid to
States for education, but felt the

as well as eliminate some.

New Type Heat Resistant
Assures Better Sun Lamps

Better sun lamps and laboratory
glassware can now be made from
a new type Of heat-resisting mater
ial.
The new glass, called vycor, can
be heated to 1900 degrees F. and
rapidly cooled without breaking,
and sun lamps made from vycor
do not darken and lose their po-
tency as rapidly as lamps contain
ing other kinds of glass. DR.. Rich
ard B. Ellis Of the University OF
Miami told meeting Of the Ameri-
can Chemical society.
A novel process is employed to
prepare the glass, which consists
almost entirely of silica, or quartz.
Fused silica has long been used be-
cause it is hcat-resistant and does
not impede the passage Of ultra
violet light. he pointed out. but
vycor may take the place of quartz
glass. since it is cheaper to manu-
facture and easier to shape.
Vycor is made from a soft, aka
line glass. which has been nodded
or blown by conventional methods.
The soft glass is then immersed In
hot acid and the alkali is dissolved
and washed out.
