her face contorted. Sounds rolled
in her throat, then emptied into

She was screaming at the top of
her voice.

Woods power to re-control is
limited mostly to housing units,
Marshall and Wilson can put con-
trolls on any kind of housing.
Further, whenever Marshall and
Wilson decide an area must be
controlled. the government mus t
relax in that area its nationwide
restrictions on credit for new
housing. Example: The size of the
down payment. The reason: To
get housing built in that ar a
faster.
There are a couple of points to
keep in mind:
l. When Marshall and Wilson
decide on rent controls for an
area, they still can be wiped out
if the city council or state legis-
lature wants them ended. But
they can stay wiped out only for
30 days. Then the government
can step in and order the controls
again.
2. New York, the only state
with its own statewide controls, is
a notable exception to all that's
been said about the new law. The
government can't impose federal
controls in New York unless II
finds that rents in New York as
a whole have been rising faster
than rents in the nation as a
whole.

The World Today
ABc ON RENT
RN lanes Marlom

BY James MARROW
WASHINGTON, AUG 3-LP)-
This is an ABC on rent controls.
The new rent control law,
which went into effect this week,
was laid on top of the old law,
still in effect.
So what we have is the a m e
rent control law with changes.
These are the two main changes:
(A.) The government now can
put controls on any community,
whether or not it's ever been un-
der controls, but only if that
place is considered a critical part
of the defense program.
(B9 Landlords in places still
under control can boost tn e r
rents to 20 per cent above what
they were on June 80, 1947. F or
many this will mean no more than
a five percent increase since many
already have been permitted Is
percent increase over June 80,
1947.
(NOTE: This, OF course, ap-
plies only to places still under
federal control. Landlords in un-
controlled places can do as they
pleaSe.)
There are no federal controls
in New York, the only state with
its own statewide rent control law.
Thirty-eight other states h a V e
federal ceilings in one or more
communities.
The following part of the old
law remains unchanged:
/. Tighe Woods, who did and
still does handle rent controls, can
step in and wipe out federal cell
ings in any area which still has
them whenever he decides there's
enough housing there to meet de-
mands.
And he can go back into any
area where he has on his own ini-
tiative lifted controls and re-im-
pose them. But he can do this
nowhere else.
2. If, in an area still under
control the local rent advisory
council suggests to Woods ther's
no longer need for controls, he
can lift them but doesn't have to.
He usually does, though.
In such case, where his act
ion is coluntary, he can go back
any time and put on the controls
again.
But if he refuses to lift the con-
trolls in the first place, and then
is forced to because the council
went to court and got verdict
against him, he can't reimpose
the controls.
3. When city government or
state legislature decides federal
controls are no longer needed
they end and Woods can't reim-
pose them.
4. And when a state substitutes
its own rent control for federal
control, Woods can't reimpose
For example, Woods can't put
controls back in any part of New
York which, as explained, has its
own law.
All this so far deals only with
Woods power to reimpose con.
trolls But under the ne wlaw fed.
eral controls can be placed or
any community, whether or 0 i
it has ever been under control.
and no matter how it has b e I
de-controllsd, but only in thi!
way:
The Secretary of Defense
George Marshall, and Charles z,
Wilson, boss of defense mobiliza
ton. must first decide that sucl
a place is critically in need o
controls for the good of the de
Tense program.
So where Woods can reimposl
controls only where he himsel
has decontrolled, Marshall ant
Wilson can decide on controls TO
any community.
They can do that To a whole
city or just part OF city. Fo
