194o RENT
 ACT. UP IN
 HIGH COURT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-LR- The Supreme Court today agreed to review a decision that the 1949 Fed eral Rent Control Act is unconsti- tutional.
 The decision has been held in abeyance pending Supreme Court action.
 Handed down by U. s. District Court Judge Elwyn R. Shaw in Chicago, the decision was appealed directly to the high tribunal by the Justice Department The Depart ment contends Shaw's opinion is erroneous.
 The Supreme Court will hear ar guments on the issue in a couple weeks, then give it's ruling later.
 The 1949 Rent Act permits states and municipalities to end rent con- trols. Shaw declared this an un- constitutional delegation of power by Congress. Shaw declared the entire act invalid. The Justice De- partment's appeal said 100000 housing accommodations remain un- der rent controls. It added that the tenants will be left defenseless ii the (Shaw) decision should be al- lowed to stand"
 The Court, in it's third meeting of the new term, again confined it's actions to orders with no opinions handed down.
 Among other things, the tribunal:
 Refused to rule on whether the contempt conviction of witness in the Alger Hiss perjury case was properly overturned. William Rosen, 65, of Santa Monica, Calif., was sentenced to six months in jail for refusing to answer questions about a 1929 roadster asked by Federal Grand Jury in New York City while it had the Hiss case under in- vestigation. Rosen's conviction was overturned hy the U. s. Circuit Court Ill New Y0rk Clty.
 Declined to consider appeals by three Communists jailed on con- tempt charges during the Com munist trials in, New York City The three are Gus Hall, of Cleve- land, the Ohio State Communist Chairman; Henry Winston, Organ izational Secretary of the Commun- ist Party. They are among the II top-ranking Communist officials convicted last week on charges that they worked for the forcible over throw of the Government.
 Agreed to review the cases of two women accused of failure to produce records of the joint anti-Fascist Re- fugee Committee for use of the House un-American Activities Con- mittee. The women, Miss Helen R. Bryan and Mrs. Ernestina G. Flei- schman, were sentenced to three months imprisonment and firfed $500 each on charges of contempt of Congress. Their convictions were set aside, however, by the U. 5. Court of Appeals here.

GREEN EXPECTED
 TO TURN DOWN
 LEWIS pR0p05AL
By HAROLD V. WARD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-tR- Most labor leaders today expected William Green to reply with po- lite mo thank you" to John l. Lewis's proposal that AFL unions help finance the CIO steel strike At the moment, Lewis and the United Mine Workers are indepen- dent of both the AFL and CIO.
 Meantime, Secretary of Commerce Sawyer said that if the strike runs to Dec. l it will idle 5,0O0,00C workers and seriously damage the nations economy.
 Strikes and threats of strikes already have changed an upward trend in business and employment, which held almost all summer, he said in statement, adding.
 By December 1st, if the strike continues, unemployment directly attributable to the strike will be approximately 5,000,000.
 UT tiiCl lliOlt, lb IS tStlIIlaecu that by January l there will, in effect, be complete shutdown in the metal-consuming industries Green, former coal miner him. self, is not as angry at Lewis as some AFL leaders who have tangled with Lewis in the past, so he may temper his reply to the Lewis plan for a $2,50o0O0 weekly war chest.
 The proposal was made by Lewis in letter to Green. CIO President Philip Murray, running the steel workers strike, stepped up Satur- day with quick endorsement of the idea that unions pool their re- sources for the common defense and general welfare of the labor movement"
 That wasn't exactly what Lewis was talking about. He suggested that at least nine AFL union were rich enough to join with the United Mine Workers in contributing $250, GOO week each towards the steel strike.

Lee Urges Civic Group Aid
In Crowded School Prob|emI

Speaking before the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association
last night, Adelbert w. Lee of
the District Board Of Education
called on all local civic groups
to show more interest in helping
solve the problem of overcrowd-
ing in the city's schools.
The trouble. he said, has not
resulted solely from the rise in
the city's population. but from the
short-sighted planning that had
not provided for the rise. He
praised the public utilities. which
by intelligent. long-range plan
ming, have been able to cope with
the same difficulty.
The association passed a motion
asking for the installation Of a
traffic light at Naylor road, Min
nesota avenue and Twenty-second
street Sc. It also requested that
a stop sign be put up at Twenty
second and r streets Sc.
