'IntoIerabIe' Rent Rise
Feared by Woods if
Controls Are Lifted
By J. A. OLeoN

The death Of Federal rent con-
troll on June 80 would lead to an
"intolerable" rise in rents, Fed
eral Housing Expediter Tighe e.
Woods told the Senate Banking
Committee today.
First witness at a projected To-
day hearing, Mr.. Woods requested
another one-year extension to
provide an orderly transition to
a free rental market and an
orderly process Of decontrol."
Gov. Chester Bowles of Con-
necticut backed up the admin
istration's plea for an extension.
Gov. Bowles, price administrator
during part of World War II, said
that dropping of controls would
cost the Nations tenants SIS bill
lion a year.
Faces Uphill Fight.
The administration faces an
uphill fight to keep Federal con-
troll, because many members indi-
Gated last year they would not
support another extension.
The Presidents leaders in Con-
gress are counting on witnesses
from the big cities to bolster their
case for another one-year extern
sion.
The District of Columbia is not
directly involved in these hearings,
because it has it's own rent law.
The House and Senate District
Committees will have to decide
whether it should be extended
beyond June 80.
In the current law Congress pro-
vided that States or cities could
be decontrolled on their own in
itiative. or by voluntary action of
Federal authorities.
The present law does not per-
NIT the recontrol of any commu-
nifty decontrolled by State or 10
cal option. Mr.. Woods recon-
mended today that Congress con-
slider allowing local governments
to return to Federal control
where rents get out of hand"
Based on New Rent Law.
The Federal expediter based his
plea for a new rent law on the
ground that the housing shortage
still is acute in many localities,
especially for large families un-
able to buy homes.
Mr.. Woods testified that al
though rent controls were re-
moved from 32 million units in
the past year, II million dwelling
units occupied by 38 million per-
sons are still under control.
On May /, New York goes under
a State rent law. and Federal con-
trolls also will end before June 80
in Virginia and Alabama.
Even after these events, Mr..
Woods said there will remain 8.3
million units occupied by 20 mill
lion persons under Federal con-
troll. These controlled units, if
Congress passes the pending bill,
would be scattered in 20 States,
including 63 cities of more than
100000 population.
Lucas Home With Cold.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
was slated as the first witness, but
was kept at home with a cold.
Gov. Bowles called decontrol
extremely unwise and actually
dangerous" He predicted rapid
and substantial rent increases"
would hit the II million families
he said the controls now protect.
Control removal, he asserted,
"Would throw out of balance cur
whole price-wage structure and
reopen the question of widespread
wage increases"
He conceded that rent control
worked a certain injustice" on
landlords.
However. he told the committee,
relieving these relative injusticeS
from proportionately small group
Qandlords) can only result in a
sweeping injustice and severe
hardship to millions and millions
of American families

 Part of the drive will also consist of an "allout" effort at the base, to be conducted Monday through Saturday, with added publicity via radio station WVCQ.
 It $ expected that over 5000 will be needed for the lung, depending on the type pur- chased. but should the amount contributed exceed the price of the equipment it is already planned to set any excess up iii a fund to be administered for use in connection with the lung.
 At the meeting Mayor Lee Bettinger reported that at one time he had conferred with West J. Altenburg, regional director of the National Found |ation for Infantile Paralysis, who told him that if Kodiak had a local chapter the city would automatically share in funds of the national organiza- tion.
 As result of this informa- tion it was decided to carry the current efforts further and seek formation of such a Kodi- ak chapter. For that purpose, at the end of the drive on Oct. P, at 3 pm, another meeting will be held at the Elks club. this time with a view to organ izing the chapter.
