RENT BILL:
Buck Was Passed

The rent control question was rec
hot. Congress knew it. The people
knew it. But something had to be
done before controls expired March
81. Congress had to do something.
It did. It passed the buck.
A rent control bill was drafted
by the 81st congress, but it laid
in the laps of state governors and
legislatures the real power and re-
sponsibility for rent controls.
EVERYTHING congress wrote
into the present bill can be nullified
by a governor or a legislature, if
they see fit.
The bill continues rent controls
for Is months, or to June 80, 1850.
It sets up a home rule" process
for decontrol of states, cities, or
other local areas. Legislatures
could remove controls throughout
a state, or in parts of a state. A
city government, or ruling body of
other communities, could pass a.
resolution calling for de-control
and, if the state governor approved
it, then the federal government
would be forced to abolish controls
in that community.
The bill requires the housing ex-
pediter to fix rents so as to insure
landlords a flair net operating in
come as far as practicable"
However, it restores old OPA
powers for the rent expediter to
control evictions. This, some con-
gressmen said, would prevent any
mass evictions by landlords.
UNDER THE MEASURE, the
housing e~xpediter is authorized to
sue a landlord for three times the
amount of any charge made against
a tenant above the legal rent cell
ing. Under old law. the tenant had
that power, but seldom used It.
The new act does not authorize
further Is per cent voluntary in
creases in rents, and recontrols
any dwellings decontrolled under
such voluntary leases, at the rent
contained in such leases.
Veterans priority for first chance
10 rent or buy a new property are
in the bill.

SPEED PILOT:
a New Record?

Joe De Bona. by his own admis.
sion was a scared boy"
And he had every reason to be.
He had taken off from Burbank,
Calf, in actor Jimmy Stewards
nine-year old plane-a souped-up
F-5l-at 9:20:50 n morning, and
exactly five hours later he was
zooming into the airstrip at New
York's La Guardia Field.
THE PLANE had a cracked cock
pit canopy, dangerously low oil
pressure. no oxygen, and gasoline
for only seven more minutes of fly
ing when De Bona whistled into
the airport at 600 miles per hour.
"Tn never try a record flight
again." he said. This was too
nerve wracking."
Fred H. Wilkerson. official timer
of the National Aeronautical asso-
citation. said the NAA would have
to decide whether De Bona set a
new cross-country record. He said
the plane carried no Paragraph, a
locked instrument which shows
elapsed time. and that the gasoline
tanks we're not sealed.
THE OFFICIAL coast-to-coast
record for a single reciprocating
plane such as De Bona flew is six
hours. seven minutes and five Sec
onds. set by Paul Mantz on Feb
ruary %. 1947, in a flight averaging
401. 076 miles per hour.

me Montana university SyS
tenn, in cooperation with th
National Society for Cripple
Children and Adults, will offe
a special workshop course i
teaching for the handicappe,
during the summer session q
Eastern Montana College of Ed
ucation, it was announced to
day by DR.. A. g. Peterson, pre-
Sident.
Dr.. Peterson, who is also pre-.
sident of the Billings chapte
of the International Council 10,
the Exceptional Child, said tn,
course is unique in two ways
1t is the first large scale at.
tempt in Montana to meet The
educational problems Of handi.
capped children, and the frs
university course ever to be fl
nanced by a private agency
without tax support. Expenses
will be paid by the Montana
chapter Of the National Society
for Crippled Children and
Adults, from the proceeds OF
their current sale of Easter
Seals.
The course was arranged in
recognition Of the nations i'm
mediate need of $4,000 special
lied teachers for the handicap
ped, Peterson said. That figure
was established by a recent
convention Of the International
Council for the Exceptional
Child, which also pointed out
that there are 23,000,000 handi-
capped persons in the United
States. :,
The number of handicapped
children in Montana who are
out of school or not receiving
the maximum benefit from ed
ucational facilities as they
exist, probably exceeds 5000,
Peterson said, and Montana has
no facilities whatsoever for
training teachers in the special
techniques required. "The or
ientation of education today,
based on an arbitrary concep-
ton of normally, is failing the
requirements of democracy in
inability to provide for the
needs of all children" he as
serted.
The summer workshop at
will be a survey course
to acquaint classroom teachers
with diagnosis of SIGHT, hear
Ing, speech and motor impede
mentS, epilepsy, cerebral palsy,
personality problems and mall
adjustments, according to Har-
an E. Lance, executive director |
the Montana chapter of the
National society. The minimum
him of the program, Lance ex-
blamed. is that classroom teach
ars shall recognize the kind and
extent of a handieapping con-
and know how to refer
he child to the proper agency
or help.
The educational center for
cerebral palsy, maintained by
he Montana chapter at East
IN Montana college of Educa-
ion in Billings, will be used
or the workshop course. Miss
'eatrice Blakely, special edu-
ator at the center, will act as
oordinator, and Is special lee
urers will handle the various
spectsNof the problem.

COUPLE WORK ON HUMPS
 CONTROL RESEARCH

First large scale research work in the field on humps vaccination will be resumed with the return tc Mt. Edgecumbe this weekend of the Doctors Jane and Carroll Burgoon. in Juneau the past week to attend the convention of the Alaska Terri torial Medical Association
 The Surgeons, who have beer carrying on a vaccination program in Southeast Alaska since early in January, estimate that ahout two more weeks will be necessary to finish up their work here. They plan to return to the Uni versity of Philadelphia where Dr Jane is a research resident at the children's hospital, and Dr. Carroll is resident fellow in syphilology and dermatology.
 The young couple, on their first trip to Alaska, have headquartere6 their humps vaccination work at Mt. Edgecumbe from where they have vaccinated students at Mt Edgecumbe, sheldon Jackson Wrangell Institute, Rake, Angoon, and the Johnson Home and Minnie Field Home at Juneau.
 Primary object of the research work here is to determine how long immunity from the disease will last, according to Dr. Jane who is the humps specialist in the Burgoon family. A 10-year follow-up survey is being planned as part of the long-range research.
 According to Dr. Jane, effective ness of the vaccine in establishing immunity from humps has been proven, but duration of immunity is yet to be established.
 The Doctors have been detailed to the Alaska Native Service for the work which is being financed by the Arctic Research Institute.
 Development of the humps vac cine is recent scientific accom- plishment according to Dr. Jane. It was developed at the University of Pennsylvania Children's Hospital by Drs. Werner and Gertrude Henle, under the supervision of Professor of Pediatrics, Dr. Joseph Stokes Jr.
 It has teen administered success fully to a number of volunteer groups in and around Pennsylvania, she said. Reason for choice of AL aska for the special research work, she said, is the low incident rate of humps in this area. With humps epidemics occurring on the average of every years, it is much easier to find large group of persons free from the disease.
 The couple will spend the next two weeks on return calls and then go back to the. States.

$20,000 for a territorial audit, $165,- 900 for hospital. construction and Sl0000 for the game commission for which money is supposed to be provided when it is available. Those items raise the total of , budget requests and enacted appro- priations to Sl8,032,577. , That barely over-balances the Sl8,000,000 revenue estimate from taxes now in effect. 1 Butrovich pointed out that the budget figures might he cut some. Most departments included salary increases which they might not get. But there is over $100,000 to add for old age pensions above the budget.
 While most of the tax proposals have reached the finance commit ,ee, t,le parade of bills with new appropriation proposals-large or small-continues
