Army and Cadillac Discuss
Mass Output Of Tanks
By the Assoeiated Press

DETROIT, July 21.-The Army
is negotiating with the Cadillac
Division of General Motors for
mass production of tanks.
Col. David j. Crawford, COM
mander of the Detroit Arsenal,
confirmed negotiations are under
way and predicted contract will
be worked out within a few days.
Col. Crawford refused to say
what type tank Cadillac will build.
but unconfirmed reports said it
would be the new 28-ton light
tank. Gen. j. Lawton Collins,
Army Chief of Staff, has described
it as superior in manuverability
and operations to any type ever
seen in warfare"
Cadillac was a major tank pro-
ducer in World War II.
Cadillac is expected to reacti-
vate a World War II plant, not
now being used for car-making.
The tank building program thus
would not disturb it's current high
level automobile production.

Twenty thousand anti-C Commu-
mist troops are still fighting in
side Red China, according to a
dispatch to DagenS Nyheter OF
Stockholm from Srinagar in Kash-
mir, which quotes Chinese refu-
gees recently arrived from Urum-
chi in Sinkiang Province.
They said these forces were
carrying on a last-ditch struggle
in China's Far West" whose rich
oilflelds and deposits of uranium,
copper, gold. vanadium and coal
and iron mines make it a Soviet
plum. They added that the Rus
slams were pushing construction
of a network of railroad tracks in
Sinkiang, also of a railroad line
between this outlying Chinese
province and the Soviet Union
proper.
A great number of airfields are
being built, said several former
Nationalist Chinese airmen among
the refugees, who guessed that
Russia might be making Sinkiane
into a jumping-of base for the
conquest of Pakistan and pos
sibly of India.
In their flight, the refugees
including former Sinkiang Gov
Mohammed Imin Bugra and his
aide, Isa Yusuf. and their fam
lilies, had to cross mountain passes

Congress 10 Receive
Detailed Program for
Defense Expenditure
By John A. Giles

President Truman'S recon-
mendation ON how to spend the
additional $40 billion in new de-
fense funds was expected to go
to Congress today or tomorrow
and military officials were pre-
pared to testify on the plan early
next week.
High defense officials explained
the huge fund would be spent in
two ways:
L. The general build-up of the
Army. Navy and Air Force as a
guarantee against other 'Koreas'
in all parts of the world.
2. The direct extra expenses i'm
mediately attributable to the Ko-
rean war. It will mean principally
more guns, tanks and planes for
the Army and Air Force.
Danger to Continue.
officials emphasized that the
three services would be unanimous
in the Defense Departments rec
concentrations on the new spend
ing program.
1t was pointed out that even
though intense fighting in Korea
is of the immediate concern, there
also is the long-range, continuing
problem and that even when VIC
tory comes in Korea the danger
of war elsewhere will be no less
acute. AS Gen. Bradley recently
commented on Capitol Hill, there
are other danger spots in the Far
East, Southeast Asia, the Middle
East and Europe.
It is against this background of
both the present and future situa-
tions that officials have been
working day and night to draft
specific recommendation as to
how the money shall be spent.
Hearings to Be Closed.
The hearings before House and
Senate Appropriations Commit
tees. likely to come next week,
may indicate how much of an
increase in armed services
strength is planned. The hear
ings will be closed to the public
but records of such proceedings
generally are released later.
The funds will be used to boost
the pace of production lines but an
overnight increase in the number
of weapons cannot be expected
since such weapons, particularly
planes, take time to build. The
Aircraft Industries Association es-
Inmates, for example, that it would
take "a months after an unlimited
go-ahead order to achieve a pro-
duction rate of $4,000 planes a
year-10 months longer than in
World War II. This is because
today's planes are more compli-
) Gated.

Continuation of the Districts
separate rent control law for an
other year after June 80 still
hinges on what action may be
taken nationally.
This was indicated today, after
the District Commissioners rec
commended a one-year extension
of the rent act here, with only
one major revision.
The city heads relied almost ex-
clusively on a report by District
Rent Administrator Robert F
Cogswell, which they forwarded
to the House District Committee
The question now is before the
House District Judiciary Subcom-
mittee. headed by Representative
Harris, Democrat, of Arkansas
Mr.. Harris said he believes his
subcommittee will want to find
out the latest needs in the Wash
ington housing situation. He
added that a public hearing is
probably the best way.
Hearing Order Deferred.
A series of public hearings may
be called, but an order to this
effect was delayed to await some
indication as to what Congress
may do with national rent con-
trolls, now subject to Senate hear
ings.
Mr.. Harris commented that the
continuation of rent controls here

Senate Group 10 Heal
Nearly 40 Opponents
OF Rent Control Law
BY the Assoeiuied Press

Nearly 40 witnesses lined up to-
day for chance to tell the Sen
ate Banking Committee why they
think Federal rent controls should
be dropped after June 80, when
the present law expires.
The committee allotted two days
to opponents of controls after
spending the first part of the week
hearing an equal number of wit
nesses urge continuation of the
rent ceilings.
Spokesman for the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
and the National Apartment
Owners Association headed the
list for today's session.
The committee got some oppo-
sition testimony yesterday from
Robert H. Aarons, Pasadena,
Calf, attorney, who said he spoke
for small property owners in
Southern California. Mr.. Aarons
termed Federal rent controls "un-
necessary and unwise." adding:
I'VE believe they destroy conf
dence in Government and impose
an unjust, unwarranted. tax bur-
den on the great number of cities
and States which are not under
Federal rent control but which
are nevertheless required to share
the tremendous burden of sup
porting an agency which con-
stantly propagandizes for its own
continuance"
A statement submitted by the
National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks said that because
so many rental units already have
been decontrolled and because
housing supply has caught up
with demand in many sections of
the country" rent control has be-
come a purely local problem"
Evening star., 1950-04-27

would become increasingly diff
cult. unless Congress continues it
nationally. Otherwise, it was in
dicated. it might appear that Con-
gress was seeking to protect its
members here, while the rest Of
the country was not protected, he
said.
District Commissioners yester-
day asked a years extension of
the local control law, except that
non housekeeping rooms be de-
controlled after June 30. This
change was recommended by ad-
ministrator Cogswell, who said
the supply and demand for such
single rooms now has about
reached normal balance.
Apartment Situation Acute.
But Mr.. Cogswell held there is
still an acute" situation as to
both the supply and prices for
apartments, except in the So
called luxury" classes. He said
this is true. despite any and all
claims to the contrary"
In his report he said he still ad-
hered to his statement when he
first took the job that he would
recommend an end to all controls
at the first opportunity. But, he
said. "the necessity for rental
control exists at the present time
and, barring unforeseen events,
will exist for at least another
year."
Rentals demanded for practi-
cally all new elevator-type apart
ment, he said, are $50 high as to
be almost entirely beyond the
reach of persons of average in
come"
Apartment rent increases have
been granted rather generally
here since the 1941 freeze date, he
reported, although landlords have
complained the increases have not
been sufficient. Against this, he
added. are many "justif1able"
tenant complaints that they must
pay all or part of the costs Of
redecoration.
Would Reduce Some.
The demand for apartments
costing from $45 to $63 a month
is so great, Mr.. Cogswell said, that
despite all the building opera
tions" now in progress, little or
no relief can be expected for per-
sons in this range. Therefore, he
said, rents for such apartments
should be reduced or they should
be rented to two persons, instead
of only one.
He pointed out the average basic
Evening star., 1950-04-27

pay of Government employees is
about $3.436 a year, and owners
are demanding nearly $1,000 a
year rental for an efficiency
apartment.
He added that, should rental
controls be lifted on June 30, 'it
is a foregone conclusion that pres
ent presently controlled ceilings
will be advanced to a point where
wage-earners will find it impos-
sible to pay the rent demanded. 4"

He reported that. during the
last six months of the past year.
the average requested rental in
