Congress May Act
Today on Federal and
District Rent Bills

Extension of both Federal and
District rent control today awaited
action on Capitol Hill.
The Senate this afternoon was
to begin voting on it's plan for a
60-day continuation plan-from
December 81 to February %. This
was subject to a series of amend
ments from opponents.
On the House side, 9O-day ex-
tension plan, approved by the
House Rules Committee, awaited
adoption of rule to take up the
measure.
Neely Pushes Separate Bill.
Chairman Neely of the Senate
District Committee, meanwhile,
was waiting for a chance to bring
up a separate bill for extension of
the District control law from jan
uary 81 to February %.
Tins bill calling for a straight
extension without any changes in
basic provisions. was approved
late yesterday by the Senate Dis
trict Committee without a dis
Senting voice.
The District committee action.
upholding recommendations of a
special rent subcommittee, took
less than five minutes.
There had been some thought
that the District measure might
be tackled onto the Federal rent
control measure in the Senate, but
this was abandoned when some
said it might be bad strategy for
both bills.
Questions Put Aside.
In recommending the one
month extension of the District
law, the District Committee post
poned. until the new Congress
meets in January, such questions
as to whether the law should be
amended to e-establish rent con-
trolls over converted housing units
and over self-contained family
units in hotels.
The main purpose Of the one
month extension of the District
law Is to assure sufficient time
for the new Congress to handle
the problems before the controls
would expire on January 81.

Debate on Communism

Gov. Lane of Maryland has adapted
the I'm against evil" approach to fight
ing communism in refusing to allow a
debate between Phillip Frankfeld, head
of the MarylandD. c. Communist Party,
and DR.. Fred c.. SchWarZ of Australia,
a -tongued Communist if ever
there was one, to be held at Maryland
University August 8. Although such
person as j. Edgar Hoover. who must
know little about Communists, tells us
that we must bring the Commies out in
the open whenever we can, Mr.. Lane
would have us run and hide because
someone succeeds in smoking out these
traitors. Was the Governor thinking of
protecting the citizens of Maryland from
the Commies? Or was he, perchance,
worrying about losing some left-wlng
votes at he next election?
How are we to appreciate the dangers
of communism if we don't let the Reds
put up their arguments where they can
be challenged? Is this the time to pussy
foot about. doing nothing? No. Now IS
the time to use every means at our
command to expose these international
crooks. ROBERT H. farks'

abroad can hardly have an adverse effect, and
the 2-cents- pound duty is therefore lacking
in sense
The only thing the duty can do is to hurt
the economy of Chile, and to a lesser extent
Peru. AS it operates now, its effect is to deprive
the ChileanS of dollar income that they Sorely
need. They are among our very best friends in
South America. Accordingly, in terms of our
good neighbor policy, we are working against our
own best interests, as we'll as theirs in imposing
tariff on their copper-a tariff altogether I'M
necessary for our own industry.
In view of all this, it must be hoped that the
has its Finance Committee. The mistake that
has been made can be corrected if approval is
won for Senator McMahon'S proposed amendment
to the House-a approved bill providing for duty
free imported scrap metals. This bill has already
received the committees favorable vote. If Mr.
McNfahon's proposal is enacted, regular copper
will be included and the tariff on it thus will be
suspended
If the Senate takes this action the scrap
metals legislation will then 60 into conference
or reconciliation with the version passed by the
House. Since it has already approved suspension
of the copper tariff, the House will almost
certainly go along with the Mcmahon amend
ment Some such legislation is necessary to
reverse the short-sighted position taken by the
majority of Senators on the Finance Committee.

Forest Fire Warnings

The Forest Service and various other agencies
have put out warnings against the danger of
forest fires this year. In a war emergency, an
outbreak of fires in the timberlandS of the
country would be a particularly aggravating
problem In 1949 about Is million acres were
burned That involved a property loss of approx
imately $500 million. Most of the damage resulted
from careleSSnesS, could have been prevented by
the exercise of ordinary caution-and occurred
because otherwise thoughtful and conSiderate
citizens were remiSs in their duty to themselves
and their neighborS
Every American has an implicit obligation
in the circumstances. The forests belong to the
whole national community in the sense that they
are among the natural resources of the Nation.
In time of international strife the greatest
care is required. Nothing should be wasted The
timber needs of the United States are vast in
peace even greater in war. Motorists and
campers particularly should realize that negi-
gence in the woods may cause heavy loss They
should guard against any risk which might set
even a small blaze
Autumn naturally is the season of most
peril. The rainfall is less in August, September
and October than in other green" months, and
the forests consequently drier and more apt
to burn. Forest Service spokesman have asked
us to give them maximum cooperation this year
Their appeal should be heard and needed by
everybody

Squirting the Circle
C. Schwarz.

Long an admirer of The Star, was
rudely shaken tonight to read on page
3 of your newspaper that former Gin
cinnati newsman, Ike Schwartz, had
solved the Euclidean problem of squar-
ing the circle.
1t is we'll known to all mathematicians,
and to a large number of laymen as WELL
that many years ago rigid mathematl-
cal proof was given that the squaring OF
the circle with ruler and compass is
impossible. Such "impossibility'' proofs
are common and since then no further
thought has, or rightly should have
been, given to the matter.
1t is pathetic that the Associated Press
should send out on it's wires such story
of but one of thousands of quacks who
yearly deluge mathematicians with such
nonsense. But it is downright shameful
when such a paper as The Star does not
screen out such stories. That Mr..
Schwartz was a former newSman does
little even to distinguish the gentleman
from his fellow quacks, and can hardly
be offered as an objective excuse for the
publication of his misdirected activities.

Virginio's Draft DeIinquents

The Virginia selective service officials, in
deciding to crack down on men who have not
reported to their draft boards, have set COM
mendable example. Under plans announced by
Col. Asher w. Harman Virginia selective service
chief the delinquents will be compelled to report
Immediately to their draft boards. Those whose
delinquency has been of serious nature if they
can pass the tests, will be indicted Immediately.
Their penalty will be that they forfeit rights to
deferment and classification.
District draft officials apparently have not
yet decided to follow similar policy. They will
not be able to delay comparable action much
longer, however, unless they intend to favor
shirkers at the expense of the young men who
are doing their duty to their country.

because the staff, not sufficiently COM

not give the children the unremitting
practice that is necessary for success.
1t is matter of record that the combined

The Copper Tariff

The Senate as whole, at the earliest possible
moment, ought to undo the mistake made by its
Finance Committee in voting to table the House
approved bill to suspend the tariff on imported
copper. Looked at from any angle-from the
standpoint of protecting our own domestic in
duStry, from the standpoint of our inter-Amer-
lean relations, or from the standpoint of our
shortage of this critical material in time of
grave world tenson-the tabling action simply
lacks justification.
Under the House bill, our 2-centS-a-pound
copper tariff-which was suspended throughout
the Second World War but which became operable
again last June 30-would be done away with for
another year. Led chiefly by protective minded
members from the mining States however, the
Senate committee has in effect buried the meas
ure by surprising vote of to 4, even though
not single common-SenSe argument, in tho
light of present-day realities, seems possible to
advance in defense of the burial.
Actually, as far as our domestic producers
are concerned the plain fact is that they require
no protection AS matters stand, wholly apart
from the need to build up our strategic Stockpile
the amount of copper being turned out in this
country is nowhere near enough to satisfy civilian
consumption and our Stepped-up military de-
mand In such circumstances, imports from
