By the Associated Press

HELSINKI, Oct. g. Nearly
complete figures from Finland's S
local government elections today

viously given them only the ma
jority of seats in city and county
councils, while the vote majority
had been with the Socialists and

Further Rent Control
May Be Necessary,
Bricker Declares
BY the Associated Press

Senator Bricker, Republican, Of
Ohio, a leader of past fights
against continuing Federal rent
controls, said today their extern
sion in modified form may be
necessary when Congress returns
November 27.
His surprise statement to re-
porters contrasted with the view
of Senator Maybank. Democrat.
of South Carolina that he saw
no reason for Congress to revise
the present local-option rent law
at the brief lame duck" session
after the elections.
Senator Maybank is chairman
of the Senate Banking Committee,
which handles rent control legis-
lation; Senator Bricker is a mem
ber.
Under present law Federal rent
controls will expire on December
81 except in communities which
have voted, either through their
local governing bodies or by pop
ular referendum, to extend them
for another six months.
The legislation, when it was
passed last June, was regarded by
friend and foe alike as the last
extension of the Federal rent CELL
ings first applied during World
War II.
But even before Congress went
on vacation last month, talk Of
another extension had cropped up
in the wake of the Korean fight
ing and the Nations expanding
military program.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee said he would
start hearings on a rent control
measure as soon as Congress re-
turns. He added that something
would have to be done. Whether
Congress would find time to act
in the brief session before Christ
mast was doubtful.
Although Senator Bricker was a
chief spokesman against the last
two extensions of Federal rent
controls, he said Congress may
have to continue them again at it's
November December session.
Sees Housing Shortage.
He said new construction had
nearly caught up with housing
needs but that cutbacks in new
home building since the defense
program started rolling may leave
a shortage that will require rent
ceilings.
The determining factors, Sen.
Bricker said, will be how deep
these cuts are and the extent to
which they are offset by a reduced
demand for housing because of
the entry of more men into the
armed forces.

the company refused to arbitrate
the dismissal of one bus driver,
failed yesterday. Attorneys for
both sides conferred with Fed

to reach an agreement.
New Efforts Due Today.
The union is insisting that it's
contract calls for arbitration of
the drivers dismissal. The COM

that can be submitted to arbitra-
ton is whether contract actually
calls for arbitration of the dis
missal.
