Maybank Opposes
Rent-Contro| Action

Chairman Maybank of the Sen
ate Banking and Currency Com
mittee today took a stand against
any rent control extension legisla-
tion at the lame duck" Congress
which meets November 81.
For one thing, the South Caro-
lima Democrat said. there would
not be time for hearings and &C
tion at the brief session.
He also declared that under the
present local option plan for Fed
eral rent controls, restraints on
rent would expire only when COM
munities so vote.
ut is local matter and should
be settled in local political cam
paigns," he said, adding that these
were his personal views, which
would be subject to a decision by
the majority of the Banking Com
mittee.
District rent controls are under
a separate law and will continue
until January 81. Both Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District
Committee and Chairman Neely
of the Senate District Committee
have planned consideration of
District rent legislation at the
coming short session.

How much it has been restored

Accounts of that fateful day say
that when the British reached
that point they were greeted with
a fusillade from the house on the
northwest corner which was then
owned by Robert Sewell. The
shots killed the horse of Gen. Ross
who was accompanied by Admiral
Cockburn. The house was burned
but Sewell rebuilt it a few years
later.
1t was originally built in 1772
by Lord Baltimore as a we'd

by the Daingerfield family. which
ownership continued until 1922
when the estate Of Miss Ellen

Arlington Woman
is First to Take New
Oath of Allegiance

For the first time in the Dis
trict and possibly anywhere in the
United States, a new oath of al
legiance, required by the Internal
Security Act of 1850. was admins
tered today to naturalized
American citizen.
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff intoned the oath in the
naturalization of Mrs. Eva Maria
Smart, Peruvian-born, 33-year old
housewife, of 1900 North High
land street, Arlington.
The new oath is substantially
the same as the one formerly ad-
ministered except for the addi-
ton of the phrase II will bear
arms on behalf of the United
States or perform nom combatant
service in the armed forces of the
United States when required by
law"
These words as well as the GUS
tomary remuneration of allegiance
to any foreign prince. potentate,
state or sovereignty" will be
taken under the new law by all
naturalized citizens who have no
conscientious objections to serv-
ing actively in defense of the
United States. The old oath,
which nowhere mentions the
bearing of arms or performance
Of non-combat service against the
Nations enemies, will be reserved
for conscientious objectors.

W. N. & A. Service Normal
After 5-Day Stoppaqe

Normal service was reported to-
day by w. M. & A. Bus Lines,
with all drivers returning to work
after five-day strike.
The stoppage was settled at
least temporarily Saturday night
when the union, protesting firing
of driver, agreed to arbitrate the
grievance.
The lines carry about 10000
passengers daily between Prince
Georges County and Washington
points. Among the more impor-
tant stations are the Census Bu-
reau and Navy photographic
Service in Suitland and Andrews
Air Force Base.
In calling the strike, the union
insisted the company acted un-
fairly in firing driver whose bus
slipped off the road in West Vir-
ginia last month. The company
said the action was justified and
charged the operator with negli-
gent driving.
At the behest of Charles T.
Estes, special assistant to Chief
Conciliator Cyrus S. Ching, the
union and company agreed to ar
bitrate the dispute.
