May DROP
CONTEMPT
CHARGES
Some 50 Persons May Es-
cape Action on Cues
tioning, Communism

BY DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-tR-
Congress apparently will drop con-
tempt action against some 60 peo-
pie who refused to say whether
they are or ever were whether
lists.
There are three reasons:
/. The Justice Department has
passed the word informally that
It's best to lay off until its own
cases against Communist party
leaders are cut of the way.
2, The House Committees in
volved-Labor and Un-American
Activities probably couldn't get
their members together before the
md Of the year to act on contempt
citations.
8. House legal experts doubt that
contempt action in the present
Congress could be carried over to
the new one. Their curbstone
opinion is that any contempt in
yolved was against the Goth Con-
gress, but that the 3lst couldn't
cite anybody except for contempt
against itself.
The Labor Committee was con-
sidering contempt action against
union spokesmen who were witness
es at investigations to determine
the extent of any Red infiltration
into their organizations. During
the hearings around 10 persons re-
fused to answer the big question
whether they were or ever had
been Communists.
About a score more declined to
answer the same question at last
summers spy hearings OF the I'm
American Activities Committee.
Nest of the witnesses claimed
that answering the question would
tend to incriminate them and
that would be unconstitutional
Justice Department officials who
talked things over with Commit
tee agents have said that, if the
IL Communist party leaders now
under indictment by a New York
Grand Jury are convicted, that
might provide real basis for the
self-incriminating plea.

NCHA Tenants, Failing.
To Report New Status,
Billed for Back Rent

Some tenants of National Capital
Housing Authority dwellings are
getting bills for back rent because
they failed to notify the Authority
of q change in status which would
result in a rent increase. John MI
der, NCHA director, said today.
Mr.. Ihlder has charge of S,l73
dwellings. OF these, $3.50 are part
OF permanent low rent projects and
4,s14 are In war housing projects.
The war housing projects include
ALA temporary structures.
Mr.. Ihlder cited the case Of q
man who was in the Marine Corps.
HIS family occupied dwelling with
two or three bedrooms-Mr. Ihlder
did not recall the exact number
for which he paid $14 a month. The
economic rent, Mr.. Ihlder said, was
$44.
= Rent Raised to Sal.
The tenant did not notify the
NCHA when he left the Marine
Carps and returned to civilian en-
pioyment, Mr.. Ihlder said. Last De-
cemher his change In status was
discovered and his rent was raised
to S41 and he was billed for about
$700 In back rent.
Because of lack Of staff, Mr..
Thlder said, there was delay IN dis
covering his status change.
Zach month the tenant gets a
slip asking whether there has been
a change in his economic status
or In the size and composition OF
his family" Mr.. Ihlder said. If the
answer is yes, the tenant Is supposed
to confer with the manager Of the
project In which he lives.
Then each month we check
one-twelfth of the tenants, so
change should show up within q
year, but that does not relieve the
tenant of the responsibility for
notifying U.s., We say the tenant
has q partnership responsibility. y
Rent Formulas Vary.
The dwellings are rented on q
variety Of bases, some on national
average basis, others under the
formulas set out in the different
LanhArn Acts.
An example Of change In fam
ily status which would change the
tenants rent is the case where q
family in . permanent low-cost
project has its third child. That
cuts the rent from one-flfth to one
sixth of the family income.
There are about 81 projects under
the NCH, the projects comprising
from 10 to 400 dwellings.

which to excel. No one cares
very much whether you finish
first or last. The weight events
are the dullest of them all.
don't believe all Olympic events
should be judged on the same ba-
sis. The marathon should be worth
30 points, compared to points for
the 100 meters. The l0,0O0-meter
