REBELLION:
Among Landlords

Chest out, muscles hexed. true
ulent of attitude, members Of the
American Property Owners asso-
citation in 20 cities threatened whole
sale eviction Of tenants in protest
against rental control bills now in
congress.
AN OFFICIAL Of the organiza-
ton, composed chiefly Of owners OF
small property, said in Tulsa, Okla.
600 to 1000 eviction notices would
be mailed to Tulsa tenants advising
them to vacate within go days. Sim
liar action, he said. was expected
In Chicago, Houston. Kansas City,
Detroit, St. Louis, Fort Wayne.
Grand Rapids, Danville, ILL.,, and
other cities.
The eviction notices affected rent
controlled housing and included
houses and apartments. Business
units are not under rent control.
SPEAR HEADING the Tulsa
movement was a retired Baptist
minister, the Rev. Wallace j.
Murphy, notwithstanding OF the
2O0-member Tulsa property owners
organization, and an honorary presl-
dent of the national association.
The Rev. Murphy termed two
rent control bills now before con-
gresS 'intolerable, and said, I'VE
refuse to operate SO long as rental
controls are on" Owner of consider
able property in Tulsa, the retired
clergyman asserted, 1--WE don't In
tend to serve under slavery which
would take away the right to con-
troll our property. It is not enough
that we must rent our property at
loss-now they want to fine us and
put us in Jail.
Landlords appeared mainly in
censed because pending rent curb
measures would be giving the fed
eral housing expediter right to con-
troll evictions, extend rent control
periods, provide triple damages for
Overcharges on rent, and permit
fines up to $1,000 and year in jail
for convicted violators.
OBSERVERS WONDERED If
landlords weren't letting their
wrath becloud their judgment. For,
under existing law, which doesn't
expire until late March, landlords
are prohibited from doing exactly
what the Rev. Murphy and his asso-
ciates plan to do.
The Tulsa incident was merely
fuel to the flame Of belief that If
rent curbs fare not maintained, the
question of housing for those who
cannot afford to buy homes would
become even more difficult than it
is at present.

RUSSIANS:
Coming to Tow?

Messers Joe Stain and the polit-
buro, SO long and so vocally derisive
of everything the western world has
or offers, were subconsciously pay
ing that world the sincerest form
of flattery-imitation.
The Russians had come forth with
their own version Of ERP, alpha
betical symbol of the Marshall
plan for aid to Europe.
AS THE EAST'S answer to the
European recovery plan. Russia had
organized the economic council Of
mutual assistance for cooperation
with five Of her neighbors, Bull
garia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
Poland and Ronania.
The purpose, as outlined from
Moscow, was ''the exchange Of ex-
perience in the economic field, the
rendering Of technical assistance to
each other, and the rendering Of
mutual assistance in regard to raw
materials, foodstuffs, equipment.
etc." Russia, with her. vast re-
sources, obviously was 10 be the
key nation in the council.
The Kremlin held the door open to
other nation& The announcement
said, ''other countries Of Europe
that share the principles Of the
council and wish to participate in
broad economic cooperation with
the aforementioned countries" may
Join.
THAT MOSCOW was considering
the Marshall plan when its six-na-
ton council was formed was evident
In O Russian charge that the ERP
Interfered with the sovereignty of
nations, and that the U. S., Britain,
and certain other countries Of
western Europe" were boycotting
the six nations in trade.
The Russian action may prove to
be the vital error in the Soviets'
program of expansion. If the system
fails to function, it will serve only
TO spotlight the efficacy Of the
Marshall plan and the superiority of
the western nations in equipment
and ability to keep European COM
mitments.

Shake.Up Hits
Probe Committee

One of the interesting changes
wrought by the election was the re-
organization of the un-American
Eactivities committee. This strange
child, born of desire of ope Demo-
cratic congressman to check Nazi
and anti-Jewish activity in this
country back in the days of Hitler
had become a problem child for
the administration.
The father of the idea (it was
New York congressman, saw his
offspring kidnapped at birth. It
was seized by Republican Hamilton
Fish of New York and later by
Rep. Martin Dies of Texas and
brought up in quite a different man.
ner from what was intended.
The Democrats were pretty
embarrassed with the committee
before Dies was through with
it, and when he decided to with
draw from the Washington
scene they tried to squelch it
but failed. It had proved too
good a headline-getter for its
members. Then along came the
Republicans In 1916 and grab
bed it, making 1t one of the
administrations number one
headaches.
AS soon as Democrats returned to
power they saw to it that the COM
mittee, now an accepted institution,
was cleaned up. BY one twist and
another, they managed to eliminate
all Of the old members but one,
Representative Wood, who is chair
man. Membership was limited to
lawyers, which was logical enough,
for its faults were those which no
honest lawyer would condone, and
it was reformed to recognize civil
rights and to conform to some of
the fundamental principles of
justice and civil rights with which
the original organization scorned to
bother. Witnesses are now per-
mitted to give their side of the
case, be represented by counsel if
they desire.
Nothing has been done to
hamper its effectiveness, and it
should be able to render a real
service from now on. AS Rep.
John McSweeny d., Ohio) one
of the new members, said: "The
spy hunt should be carried to q
logical conclusion, but 1 will not
permit innocent men and wOm-
en- to have their names and char
acters besmirched by unfounded
and unsupported accusations"
The un-American activities com.
mittee, as it was run before it was
cleaned up was an institution which
simply could not continue to exist
in America. It used methods which
Americans will not tolerate, be-
cause if there is one thing an
American demands, it is the right
to be considered innocent until he
Is proved guilty. ''Who steals my

SURPRISES:
Curbs Are Sought

Fearful Of large surpluses Of
wheat and cotton. the government
was studying moves to prevent this
contingency.
Secretary Of Agriculture Charles
Brannan outlined to q senate agri-
culture committee plans to hold
down this years cotton and wheat
crops.
Brannon's plan called for serving
notice on wheat and cotton farmers
that the 1949 crops they plant will
not be considered part Of their
average production in figuring any
future acreage allotments. This
means growers could plant fewer
acres without being penalized later
by proportionate acreage chrbs on
their crops.
Under present law, If acreage
controls are renewed, the average
acreage planted by a farmer in the
five previous years is the amount
he is entitled to plant.
Many officials felt that might in
duce many farmers to plant as
much as they can in order to have
the maximum possible acreage
when and if controls are clamped
| on.
Brannan's plan, assuring the far
mer of no restrictive penalties
through curtailment of acreage, was
seen as a possible curb on any ex-
cessive planting.
About as large winter wheat
crop as possible already has been
planted and a committee member
declared cotton farmers are pre-
pairing to plant an extra large
crop" to get benefit of present high
support prices.

In all the years I lived in the Met

The Star I never sent an item to

many, many helps.
After a lifetime Of reading The
Star (my fathers when I lived at
home and my own since my mar
riage in 1885, the one thing I missed
most when I moved to North Caro-
lima 1S months ago was The Star.
I mentioned this to my father when
he visited me recently, and the next
thing I knew I was receiving The
Sunday Star by mail every week.
He has continued his subscription
daily since retiring to Florida.
When I left Washington there
was a big controversy going on as to
whether or not the RICH should be

COLORING CANDLES.

from B. X. B., Washington Grope.)
In reply to Mrs. E. E. La w.. WASH
ington, I have the following sug-
gestion for successfully. coloring
candles:
Melt the candle ends or paraffin
in a jar or can by setting 1t in a
pan of boiling water. Add Oil color
thinned with turpentine to get the
desired color. This oil color comes
in tubes and can be obtained in
most paint and hardware stores.
Another way I often use is to put
four or five colored wax crayons into
the wax or paraffin.
Making candles is fun and mex
pensive and make beautiful house
decorations and grand gifts. Try
pouring candles into jello molds
and floating in water as a table
delight. Surrounded by flowers,
celluloid animals or evergreens, they
are the talk of the town."
TO WASH STUFFED TOYS.
From NJ. S., Arlington.)
To wash stuffed toys. Simply toss
them into one of the better quality
automatic washers, (The cheaper
washers do not spin them dry
enough) The toys look like new
when they come out. Fur type toys
(pandas, kittens. teddy bears. lambs
etc. wash best of all. If you do not
own an automatic, go to one of the
better community laundries.
