Rent Control
Passed By
House, Senate

Washington (LPA)-The battle
for rent control legislation was
won Dec. 7 when the Senate voted
a two-month extension 55 to %,
and the House passed a three
month extension 221 to 152.
A Joint Conference Committee
will now work out a termination
date acceptable to both bodies. Fed
eral rent controls were scheduled
to end Dec. 81 in more than 100
cities and towns which have not
acted to continue the law on local
basis until next June 80.
Apparently marked to die in the
"lame duck" session of the 82nd
Congress, rent control staged a
comeback along with excess profits
tax and other liberal legislation
after US reversals in Korea.
The extension, which will merely
give the 83rd Congress in January
time to work out new regulations,
did not go unopposed. Republicans
set up cry for wage controls to
go along with rents. Sen. Robert
A. Taft Or, o. objected to extern
sion saying. "There is onely one
justification for federal rent con-
trolls and that is war"
eve are at war, that's why |
brought this measure out of COM
mittee," Sen. Burnet R. Maybank
Cd, SCI, chairman of the Senate
Banking committee, said.
Sen. Ralph +. Flanders Or, Vt.)
asked an amendment which would
have allowed raises in rents to the
average of uncontrolled rents in an
area during the April-June 1850
period. The Senate defeated it SO
to 20. Sen. Harry P. Cain Or,
Wash.) opposed the extension be-
cause at is not needed, cannot be
justified, and is contrary to the
best interests of our huge national
program"
Sen. Cain did not mention how
the mounting complaints of rent
gouging in newly activated military
areas and defense towns would help
the national preparedness pro-
gram"
A different viewpoint was ex-
pressed by Sen. Herbert H. Lehman
Cd, NY). He said letting rent con-
trolls lapse could very well be
to our entire economic
structure and detrimental to our
defense effort" Sen. Lehman said
already a trend toward increased
rents has been noted in defense
areas and the time for decontrol is
not yet here"

Opposition Develops
In D. {. Civic GROUPS

Opposition to the fare increase
asked by the Capital Transit Co.

At the same time, Vernon v.

ton of Citizens Associations, dis
closed he has written to the Pub

Mrs. Frances Adams, chairman
of the District Committee of
for Democratic Action,
stated that organizations posi-
tion. She said:
while we have not taken any
formal action opposing the in
crease we feel that it is neither
in the interest of the company
nor of the community. The last
time the company asked a fare
increase we make a thorough
study of the situation and testi-

do so again.

Bridges Counse|Cited
ForkisconductAga
Loses MistriaI Motion
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 49,
Another denial of a mistrial mo-
ton and another outburst by
Vincent Hallinan, vitrolic defense
counsel, marked the 33d day of
the Harry Bridges perjury trial.
Mr.. Hallinan again was cited for
misconduct.
Today, the 34th of the trial of
the West Coast longshore leader,
who is charged with untruthfully
denying at a 1945 immigration
hearing that he ever was a Com
munist, the prosecution was ready
to bring out another surprise wit
ness.
Michener Dismissed.
Cross-examination of Prosecu-
tion Witness Lew Michener, Long
Beach labor union official, was
completed late yesterday and he
was dismissed.
For perhaps the 10th time.
Judge Harris cited Mr.. Hallinan
for misconduct yesterday after a
heated argument which led to the
latest mistrial motion.
Judge Harris had cited another
courts opinion on the duty of a
court to protect witnesses from
questions asked merely to harass,
annOy and hIlmiliate him +" Mr.
Hallinan charged that the citation
was "manifestly prejudicial."
Lawrence Kesler, an immigra-
ton agent, had been called to the
stand to testify in regard to
Michener's presence in San Fran
cisco late in 1910. Mr.. Hallinan
implied that the prosecution was
deliberately withholding a hotel
registration card which would
show the exact date for fear the

defense would be able to show
Bridges was elsewhere.
Officers Accused of Fraud.
This little card put in so in
advertently convicts officers of the
prosecution of fraud, corruption,
deceit and concealment," Mr..
Hallinan declared.
Judge Harris told the jury to
disregard the statement.
Il assign his remark to mis-
conduct" the Judge said.
J. r. Robertson and Henry
Schmidt, also officials of the CIO
Longshoremen's Union and char
acter witnesses for Bridges at the
immigration hearing, are code
PENDANTS at the trial, charged
with conspiracy to commit perjury.

District Committee
Staff Changes Listed
By Senator Nicely

The Senate District Committee,
dropping three staff members and
taking on four new ones, is plan
ming to meet sometime next week
to tackle important District prob
lens.
Chairman Nicely made this an
nouncement after the long-pend-
ing shakeup in the staff was
quickly accomplished late yester-
day behind closed doors. The
changes are effective Immediately.
The vote, by 10 of the 13 COM
mittee members, was unanimous,
Senator Nicely said. Three members
were absent.
Declining to disclose the list of
city issues to be handled by the
District Committee, Senator Nicely
limited that he intends to take
up soon some of the most vital
problems now disturbing the Ma
tional Capital. He mentioned his
pending bill for a District Com
mission on Civil Rights, and
vaguely indicated several others.
He said he wanted a staff of his
own to work for him.
Shakeup Indicated.
The shakeup was indicated last
October, when the committee
voted to ask for the resignation
of all members of the staff, to be
effective when accepted.
The three staff members whose
designations were accepted yester-
day were: A. L. Wheeler, acting
counsel, former committee chief
clerk. who is chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee;
Thomas S. Henderson of the pro-
fessional staff and Mrs. Edna l..
Ward. assistant clerk.
New appointees are:
Gerhard P. van Arkel, attorney.
Evening star., 1950-01-13

Since the company has not been
getting more net revenue by the
past increases, it does not make
sense to have another. Certainly
it is not in the interest of the
people of the District"
Woolsey w. Hall, president of
the Federation of Civic Associa-
tions. said the federation is not
ready to announce it's stand. But,
he said, he feels personally that
a 15-cent fare is "preposterous."
