Extension Of Rent Lids
II Months, RecontroI
Planned in Senate Bill.
BY the Assosiofsd Press

Legislation to extend rent CELL
ings 27 months and put thou
sands of dwellings back under
rent control will be introduced
by Senator Myers, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, probably tomor-
row.
Chairman Maybank of the Sen
ate Banking Committee told a re-
porter the measure might become
the administrations rent bill. Mr..
Truman has asked for Tightening of
two years
The Senate Banking Committee
will hold its first meeting of the
session Friday. Senator Maybank
predicted that rent legislation will
get a top priority. The present law
expires March 81. The Myers bill
would extend control through June,
1851.
Spence Plans Bill.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee said he plans
to introduce a rent control bill
drafted by the administration. An
official of the Housing Expediter's
Office said that measure and the
one Senator Myers will sponsor ap-
pear to be very similar.
Under the Myers bill as shown
to a reporter, rent control would
revert pretty much to its status
prior to changes authorized, over
Mr.. Truman's protest, by the Re-
publican-controlled 80th Congress
New dwellings, including those
rented since they were decontrolled,
would be placed under rent ceilings
again. So would converted dwell
ings and permanent hotel accom-
modations, including apartment
hotels.
A rent-control official said re-
control of new construction alone
would apply to thousands of dwell
ing units.
Recontrol Power Included. T..
Transient hotel rooms and motor
courts would remain decontrolled.
The bill would give the housing
expediter authority to control or
recontrol whole additional areas.
The measure also would ban any
more IS per cent increase leases.
Under those, first authorized in 1947
and continued under the present
law, landlords can raise rents IS
per cent where the tenant agrees in
exchange for lease barring further
increases for a specified period.
Senator Myers bill would not null
lily any such increases already ar
ranged.
Another provision would restore to
the Federal Government the power
to regulate evictionS. The provisions
of the various State laws dealing
with evictions now apply.
Boards Would Be Advisory.
The housing expediter's old au-
thority to sue violators of the rent
control law on criminal grounds
also would be handed back. More
over, the expediter again would have
the right to sue for triple damages
in cases OF charges over the rent
ceiling. At present, only the tenant
can sue in such cases.
Local advisory boards would be
continued but Senator Myers bill
states clearly that their recon-
mendationS dealing with decontrol
would be purely advisory. There
has been some contention that Con-
gress meant that the boards recon-
mendations were to be followed ex-
plicitly by the housing expediter.
Senator Myers measure also
would strike out the declaration of
policy written into the law during
the 80th Congress. That declara-
ton places emphasis on a need to
decontrol rents speedily.
In fixing ceilings for new con-
struction, the housing expediter
would be authorized to take in
creased building costs into account.

PATROLMEN WARN
AGAINST FILIPINO

The Montana highway patrol
supervisor, E. H. England, last
week ordered all patrolmen to
cite into court all persons vio-
lating the law pertaining to leav-
ing camp fires burning or throw
ing any burning material out of
automobiles. Effective July Is,
arrests will be made accordingly
by personnel Of the highway pa
troll.
while the forest service is
prepared and able to put out all
fires, there is no need for any
of the man-made fires to start"
Supervisor England said. There
are hardly any vehicles on the
road today that aren't factory
equipped with ash trays, and if
your car doesn't have enough,
you can pick up one at any parts
store. The main thing, though,
is to use your ash tray. Empty
it frequently, but be sure there
is no fire in it at the time"
Any person found guilty of
violating the law may be pun
ished by a fine of not nor than
$500 or Imprisonment in a coun-
ty Jail for not more than six
months, or both such fine and
Imprisonment.

Two Friends Meet
Here After More
Than Fifty Years

Dan Mount, for the past sew
eral years a resident of Canada,
stopped here Thursday last week
to look up Frank (Toad) Jacobs,
a childhood friend. AS boys they
had attended school at Junction,
a populous, thriving town that
came into existence after the
Custer battle. Mount and Jacobs
had not seen each other since
they left Junction more than so
years ago.
Mount had just visited his
brother, William (Buttons) Mount
who now lives in Cody and who,
when he lived in Laurel, was an
early chief of police and at times
an employee of the now late
Charles Davis.
Junction, or Junction City as
it was likely to have been known
at the time of it's existence, was
located on the north bank of the
Yellowstone river, nearly opposite
the present town of Custer in
eastern Yellowstone county. 1t
was the head of steamboat navi-
cation for a long time, was the
trading point for a vast area and
was the place where many freight
and COW outfits congregated.
After the Northern Pacific
railway came, the old town of
Junction disappeared. 1t was re-
placed as a shipping point by
the present Custer on the south
side of the river.

RAINFALL GIVES
PARTIAL RELIEF
TO GRAIN CROPS
Wheat Doing Best On Sum-
mer FallOw; Range Feed Is
Short In East Third

Most Of the severe drought
area Of Montana received a
measure Of relief from scattered
rainfall during the week. The
much needed moisture will in
duce better filling of ripened
grains and stimulate vegetative
growth. However, its effect on
drought-stricken dry land crops
and ranges IS temporary and
more rain must come soon to
sustain plant growth. A large
portion of the crops planted on
spring plowed non-irrigated land
has suffered heavy drought dam
age in northern and eastern
areas, and little recovery can
now be expected even though
weather conditions turn favor
able.
Soil moisture at the close of
the week was reported to be
short throughout the state, ex-
cept in parts of central, western
and extreme northeastern coun-
ties. The moisture situation con-
tinued favorable in central and
southwestern portions throughout
June but is now quite spotted,
especially in Beaverhead, Madi-
son, Broadwater and Park coun-
ties. Stockwater supplies have
been depleted and shortages are
noted in many northern and
eastern localities.
Winter wheat is now headed
and much of it is ripening. Last
weeks moisture is expected to
reduce the shrinkage of winter
wheat in north-central and south
central counties, but light yields
are now a certainty. Spring
have held up better on
summer fallowed land than on
land plowed this spring. Much
of the latter is expected to pro-
duce very light yields and is sub
ject to heavy abandonment.
Irrigation water is adequate in
all areas except Lake county
