Rules Rent
Controls Valid

WASHINGTON-<he Supreme
Court ruled Monday that the Fed
eral Rent Control law is consti-
tutional and retained validity of
rent ceilings under which an es-
timated Ia million American ten
ants dwell.
The high tribunals decision was
announced in a single, brief SEN
tence reversing the finding of a
Chicago judge that the National
Rent law is invalid.

cision, since it was announced

court) is reversed"
The Supreme Court action means
that all federal rent ceilings are
legal and remain in effect unit

ant bodies in the current movement
to secure enactment of civil rights
bills in the next session of Con-
gress''is simple militant Christia-
nifty in action" F" stated Roy Wilkins,

Colored People, in an address here
last week before the Department
of Race Relations of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America.

of democratic government, for the
guaranty of civil rights for all the
people, irrespective of race, color,
religion, or national origin"

SPARKMAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 26
(SpeciaI- The opposition of Sen
ator John J. Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama to the legislative ap-
proach in the forum of enactment
of President Truman's civil rights
program to solve the problems of
colored low income families was
denounced here last week by Edgar
C. Brown, Director of the National
Negro Council.
Earlier in the week during the
Hearing before the subcommittee
of the joint-committee, of which
Sen. Sparkman is Chairman, the
Senator went into detail in express
ing opposition to civil rights legis-
lation.
The reiterated public disavowaP'
by Senator Sparkman of any SYM
pathy whatever for enactment of
civil rights legislation said Mr..
Brown meets our strongest protest
and condemnation as another flag
rant attempt of the unholy dixie
crat opposition to keep 100000
loyal and patriotic Negro Americans
segregated behind the color line
and victimized by second class
citizenship.
Mr.. Brown urged a full hearing
by the joint committee of any legis-
lative approach to secure federal
action to stamp out lynching, mob
violence, terrorism, poll tax, unfair
and discriminatory employment, ~and
racial segregation in education,
health, housing, recreation, trans
portation, and the civil military
establishments.

Mintz, a Pittsburg matchmaker,

Whitfield halted the 1949 Mercury

routine check. Subsequently the
boys said they had stolen the car
IN Portsmouth. Broken locks on
the car attracted Whitfield's at
tention TO the car.
Portsmouth police identified the
boys in a telephone conversation.
The trio admitted breaking into
several Portsmouth bust n e s
places, and stealing cigarettes and
candy which they sold.
The boys said several other
youths were working with them,
and that they had previously
stolen a 1913 Dodge and given il

filled, then driving off quickly
without paying for it.
