Unconstitutional Is judge S
Delision-WiII Be
Appealed

CHICAGO, July 25.--R Federal
District Judge Elwyn r. Shaw to-
day held the entire 1949 rent con-
troll law unconstitutional
However, his ruling does not
mean that all rent controls are now
off.
A government attorney said an
immediate appeal will be made to
the u. S. Supreme Court.
William S. Captain, chief Chicago
attorney for the Housing Expediter,
said the law will be administered
and enforced" pending appeal.
Judge Shaw held that in insert
ing a local option clause in the
act, Congress had abrogated its
wartime powers.
The said the whole law is in
validated by clause permitting
states and other governmental di-
visions to end controls in their
territories by local option.
Judge Shaw held this provision
was an unlawful delegation of
Congress of its powers to other
government agencies.
