BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, June 30.--Mayor
D'Alesandro's plan to put fiuorine
in the Baltimore city water supply
this summer to check tooth decay
has been postponed on the advice
|of DR.. Huntington Williams,
health commissioner.
The commissioner suggested
yesterday that any decision should
await the findings of a report by
la committee of the National Re-
search Council which is studying
the matter.
However, others had approved
the plan. Gen. Leonard O. Scheele,
head of the United States Public
Health Service, was among those
who thought the program should
start Immediately.
Gen. Scheele pointed to Grand
Rapids, Mich, where he said the
inclusion Of one part of fiuorine
lper million parts of water was
associated with a 65 per cent re-
tduction in tooth decay.
| He further noted that the
american Dental Association and
lother health groups have eex-
pressed approval Of the idea OF
adding fluorine to drinking water
supplies.
In urging caution. DR.. Williams
noted that no city Of a population
Iof more than 175,000 has yet tried

doubt in the minds of leading
medical and sanitary authorities

Bill Extending
D c. Rent Curbs
Goes 10 Truman
Senote and House
Beat DeudIine in
one-Doy Rush
By Harold B. Rogers

President Truman was expected
to sign legislation extending Dis
trict rent control for one year be-
fore the present law expires at
midnight tonight.
The bill. approved in final form
late yesterday by both houses Of
Congress, was on its way today to
the White House for the Presi-
dents signature.
Continuing controls to June 80
next year, the measure provides
for a 20 per cent increase in rents
over the 1941 base. But landlords
must file with the District rent
administrator certificates showing
facts in each case, and they must
deduct from the 20 per cent in
crease any raises granted since
January l, 1941.
For property rented since that
date, the bill authorizes increase
in rents at the rate of 2 per cent
each year up to January / this
year, the new rent base.
New Housing Controlled.
New housing built since 1948
will come under control of the
rent administrator for the first
time.
Other provisions in the bill
would enable buyers of units in
cooperative apartment houses to
get possession of such property
by making a down payment of 80
per cent of the price and would
raise the annual salary of Rent
Administrator Robert F. Cogswell
from his present $4,000 to $11, 200.
The compromise measure, re-
solving differences between two
separate versions previously
passed by House and Senate, was
approved by the House by a roll
call Vote of 242 to 1875.
This action came after the
House haa approved the measure
by standing vote of 80 to 10.
Representative Kearns, Republic
can, of Pennsylvania, objected to
the standing vote on the ground
a quorum was not present and a
roll call was automatic.
The compromise bill. agreed to
by the joint use-Senate Con-
ference Committee, was explained
in detail by Representative Harris,
Democrat, of Arkansas, chairman
of the House District subcommit-
tee. which had held hearings on
the measure. He urged passage
| in the absence of Chairman Nc
MILAN of the House District Com
mittee. who was i'll in his home in
South Carolina.
Quick Action by Senate.
Representative Miller, Republic
can, Of Nebraska, told the House
he hoped this would be the last
time District rent controls would
be extended.
The measure was rushed to the
Senate, where Chairman Neely Of
the District Committee waited for
some time to call it up. He finally
found an opportunity in the
middle of debate on extension Of
national controls. The Senate
agreed to the conference report
in about two minutes and ordered
1T sent to the White House. There
was no debate on the rent bill
in the Senate.
The measure leaves the law as
| it stands, without controls on
h hotels, boarding or rooming
houses, and without the criminal
provisions for violations, which
the Senate had recommended. The
conference committee agreed to
leave the criminal penalties out
|of the new bill.

John H. Rankin, whose impud-

great Jewish thinker Moses
Maimonides that was the target
of his poisoned arrows.

dubious distinction of housing
such non-entity as the pigmy

in Maimonides seems to frighten
him. And so he has generated a
one-man campaign to remove the

figure of Maimonides who is said
to have been a Jewish rabbi in
Egypt about 900 years ago.
The pigny from Mississippi is
afraid of giants, particularly Jew
ish giants. They brighten him,
give him nightmares and, what is
more, place him in the proper
imbecilic perspective. Greatness
is anathema to the ilk of which
Rankin is made. Yet, we do not
