DR.. David E. Finley. director,
states in the catalog of the ex-
hibit, that the collection includes
portraits of eminent persons who
have taken an important role in
historical events here, or a lead
ing part in the founding and de-
velopment of the city itself.
Portraits of persons whose work
primarily was concerned with de-
velopment of Washington include
the famous group portrait by Saw
age of the Washington family,
with Gen. and Mrs. Washington
seated on the terrace at Mount
Vernon, viewing the map of the
proposed Federal City" as de-
signed by Maj. Pierre Charles
L'Enfant.
DR.. Finley points out that,
owing to space limitations, no
portraits of living persons are
shown, with the exception of
paintings of presidents and their
wives. BY courtesy of President
and Mrs. Truman, the entire col
lection of the White House por-
traits has been made available for
this exhibit.
With these and other portraits
borrowed for the occasion there is
on view a complete collection of
presidents of the United States,

District Rent Control.
Child Day-Care Bills
Awaiting Signature
By Don S. Worren

Extension of District rent con-
troll and the child day-care centers
today awaited the signature of
President Truman.
He is expected to sign both bills.
The two programs would expire
tonight, If not extended.
The compromise House-Senate
conference plans on the two bills
were swept through the two bodies
yesterday with little or no trouble
The nursery school program,
under the bill, would be carried
on the program for three more
years, limiting annual District gov
ernment costs to not more than
$4,000
Extension of the rent law, with
some approved changes, would
continue through next January
the controls over maximum charges
and minimum services as to most
apartments and single = family
nished. Exceptions are allowed
for those completed after March
81. 1948, which now are decon-
trolled.
Next January Congress will de-
termine whether there shall be
any further rent curbS.
Decontrols Single Rooms.
Decontrolled beginning Satur-
day would be single furnished
non-housekeeping rooms in
boarding and rooming houses and
in hotels. Transient rooms in no.
tells already are exempted.
In addition, self-contained fam
lily units in hotels would be ex-
empt, where the District Rent
Administration finds the hotel is
engaged primarily in providing
accommodations for transients.
Regulations and forms covering
this change now are being drafted
by Rent Administrator Robert F.
Cogswell but probably will not
become effective before August /.
The new measure also would
liberalize the requirements that
landlords must supply records as
to old operating costs permitting
the use of the best available evi-
dence if the old cost records can
not be found.

can be quoted. Others can't.
They are agents. Their job is
to pick the other fellows lock
and to protect their secrets.
Combination locks are simple.
Discs with slots are aligned until
a lever falls into slots. Then
the lock opens. The moving
discs and the falling lever make
q noise.
Legendary cracksmen filed
their finger tips to the quick and
felt the movement. So locks
were refined. Then cracksmen
used stethoscopes to listen to
the movement. Locks then
were made too smooth for that
device
But the war brought on the
development Of electronic de-
lection of supersonic sound. In
any radio store you can buy
the apparatus. Cracksmen use
an aerial the size of a knitting
needle some 6 inches high set
in a base the size of a biscuit.
Push it against the safe dial.
The sound is picked up, ampli-
fed in a box about 6 by 4 by
2 inches in size, and recorded
on a dial like the ammeter in
your car.
What happens inside the
combination lock is read as
easily as an electro-cardiagraph
by a physician. Which means
it isn't easy, but it can be done
by an expert.
Silence Fools Locksmiths
But in Mr.. Miller's lock, in
stead of letting the lever move
against the discs until a break
is noticeable when the slots are
reached, he put in another disc
that is in continuous contact
with lever until the discs are
in alignment. Then the disc
moves aside to permit the lock
to open. So when you turn the
combination dial. there is one
continuous sound-no breaks
and the reading on any sound
device always is the same.

It's doubtful that Ambassador
