NATIONAL REVIEW
Open quickie
hearing on rent

Opening two short weeks of
hearings on a rent control act for
1913, the Senate banking sub
committee ON housing and rent
was given the basic facts on the
need for continued control by
Acting Housing Expediter Tighe
e. Woods in Washington this week.
High points of Woods testimony,
based on his experience as adj
ministrator of the weak 1947 CWol-
. cotD law, show the burning need
for Strengthening the law as well
as extending its life. Subcommit-
tee Chairman Harry Cain R.,
Wash,) said he hopes his group
will have a bill ready for Senate
action by Feb. 5. The present law
expires on midnight Feb. 30.
Arguing against decontrol of
any special category of housing,
Woods said that spot checks of
$4,000 housing units newly built
since Feb. l, 1947 and decontrolled
by the 1947 law show their rent
is 69@o above the level of COM
parable controlled housing. AL
together ia million units were de-
controlled by Law last July 1.
The 1870 blackjack increase
clause Woods said, has brought
rent boosts under leases of one
year or longer to more than 1.6
million families.
In addition, some 1876, 900 pc
titions for rent increases have
been granted in the past six
months under the Wolcott law,
which bfoadened these grounds in
favor of the landlords. ~
Woods had this to say;
The large number of over
ceiling violations since July /.
l947 is attributable primarily TO
the elimination of authority for
the Housing Expediter 10 bring
treble damage suits and to pro-
tect tenants from the threat of
evictions for refusal 10 pay over-
ceiling rents"
The House banking committee
headed by Rep. Jesse Wolcott R.,
Mich0 still has not scheduled hear
ngs ON a new rent bill, though
the end of the present law is just
six weeks off. A strong rent con-

Mohandas K. Gandhi still re-

It was his fast of 122 hours and

something nobody else was able
to: call halt to the bitter war

Before he called off his fast,
which the aged Gandhi threatened

agreed that:
Moslems will be permitted to

W. Y. Depots to ReceiUe Large
 Shipments of World War Dead

The largest shipments of World War II dead for reburial in the First Army area are expected to arrive in May and June at the Brooklyn Army Base, N. Y, and the Schenectady General Depot, N. YY according tc an announcement to- day from First Army Headquarters, Governors Island, N. Y. The re- mains will be reshipped to homes of next of kin in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode island, Maine, New Mamp- shire and Vermont.
 Department of the Army officials, in making early announcement of the return of these deceased vet erans to American soil, are espe- ciallS anxious that veterans organ izations support the Army Re- burial Program with the fullest possible cooperation to insure that sufficient ceremonial details are furnished to render honors proper to the occasion.
 Nationally recognized veterans organizations are the principal source of personnel providing mili- tary lonors for the World War II dead. Rifles and ammunition for this purpose have been supplied to many of these groups by the De- partment of the Army. Local pa triotic and fraternal groups desir- ing to join in the program are also eligible to receive arms and am- munition from the Army.
 Due to prior commitments or in- sufficient personnel many veterans groups have, in the past, found themselves unable to carry out these duties. To correct this, some groups have adopted a plan to pool resources and memberships to form a special repatriation committee to finnish war dead honors. Similar plans may be adopted by other vet eran and fraternal organizations in order to provide appropriate funer- al services for the large shipments due in May and June.
 At the present time there are only 50 rifle squads in the entire First Army areas. These are avail able for assignment within 5O- mile radius of their installations. A rifle squad will be furnished by

her from head to foot, as she and MT. Bugbee patiently dug, taking great care to release all loam from the skeleton.
 While they were working l asked Mrs. Butler just how she knew it was an Indian and not the skeleton of white man who had been bumped off, and buried in hid den grave She then called my at- tention to the shape of the skull, explaining earthly to me and for the benefit of the children who would also be instructed, that the frontal skull has a full and rounded appearance.
 When the skeleton was at last clear further proof that he was an Indian was displayed. A stone had been laid to deposit his body upon and his knees had been drawn up to his chest so that he could sit be- fore the fires of the Great Spirit"
 In examining the whole skeleton Mrs. Butler declared that the Indian must have been a pretty good sized fellow, judging from the size of his bones, and that he was no doubt well advanced in years at the time of his death. The lack of many Indian relics such as toma- hawk, and arrow heads were not discovered proving conclusively he was not Brave of Rank in his tribe. However, after Mrs. Butler left one of the workmen discov- cred an Indian Quartz fish net weight, which would prove that his relatives and fellow-tribeSnen at his burial had wished him GOOD FISHING in the Happy Hunting Grounds.
 The Borough of Groton through it's official Mir. Bugbee presented the remains to Mrs. Butler who plans to send it to Yale for study by experts in Indian lore.
 Mrs. Butler who proved herself a gracious and considerate expert on Indian lore thanked the Borough workers and Spicer Ice and Coal Company workers for their aid il preserving this Groton Indian relic in as good shape as it was.
 Dr. Douglass declared that the skeleton would have been very valuable if the skull hadn't been injured in the earlier digging.
 I have presented the quartz fish net weight to the Eastern Con- necticut News, the Groton news paper, to display for awhile in its windows at 179 Thames Street, and to later turn over to Mrs. Butler"

 The Gearhart bill, MT. Green charged, attempts to reverse the Supreme Court decisions by rede- lining the term employee" as in- terpreted under the Social Security Act. This redefinition, he said, would effectively deny Social Security protection to workers in the twilight zone of employment.
 "At a time when our country should be taking action to increase and extend the coverage of the so- cial security laws" MT. Green de- clared, enactment of the Gearhart bill would prove cruel step back ward"
 Tn his letter to Senator Millikin, MT. Green added:
 "The Social Security Advisory Council whose members you ap- pointed under the provisions of Senate Resolution Al is now en- gagged in thorough examination of the social security program with special reference to the matter of coverage. I understand this coun- cil plans to present to you within the very near future it's recom- mendations in an interm report dealing with the Old-age and Sur vivors Insurance portion of the program. The Congress will then have before it a program which will deal with the particular issue in a constructive manner"

Washington -- AFL President
 illiam Green attacked a joker
 Ill before Congress which, under he gllise of maintaining the status
 uo with regard to social security benefits would actually deprive 5OO, 900 to 76O,OOO American work ers of social security protection.
 Tn a letter to Chairman Eugene a Millikin of the Senate Finance Committee, MT. Green requested the opportunity to present testi- mony against this legislation which has already passed the House and lis now being considered by the Senate Finance Committee.
 The bill referred to (H. J. Res. D296) was introduced by Repre- Sentative Bertrand w. Gearhart of California. No opportunity was of ered labor to present arguments
 gainst the bill when it was be-
 re the House Ways and Means
 ,mmittee.
 MT. Green said that those who
 buld be adversely affected by this
 easure include life insurance
 .ents, taxicab drivers, owner-op-
 rators of trucks and busses, news boys and newspaper vendors, in- dustrial home workers operating on a contract basis and some me- chanics in the building and con- Structi0n trades who operate on a semicontract basis.
 A dispute arose between the So- cial Security Administration and the Treasury Department more than ten years ago as to whether these workers were included in the coverage of the act, MT. Green ex- plained. In 1947 the Supreme Court, in three cases, upheld the contention that such workers are covered under the act. Consequent Iy the Treasury inserted a notice in the Federal Register that new regulations covering the contribu- lions of these borderline employees
