There was an epidemic of such
mishaps in the first four months
of the year. A similar series of
reports began early in November
even before the "big snow at the
Thanksgiving weekend.
The accident record and many
crossing observations indicate that
many motorists never expect q
train to use the railroad tracks.

Foulty Approoch to Leave Control

In voting 10 continue for another year the
ban on accumulation of Government employees
leave, Senate Appropriations subcommittee
has continued also faulty congressional ap-
proach to the 1eave-control problem Congress
created two standing committees to handle such
civil service questions, but neither the Senate
nor the Mouse Civil Service Committee has acted
on the matter. On the contrary, both OF these
committees have been by-passed. First the House
Appropriations Committee, then the House and
now Senate Appropriations group have elected
to deal directly with the alleged leave abuses
through an appropriation bill rider The rider
method s effective, all right, but 10 10 an illogical
shortcut that can-Aard often d0e$-fesult in
ihjustices. The latest rider is no exception.
The leave rider now in effect was attached
to last years appropriation bill 1t requires Fed

the rider is pending before the House Civil
Service Committee, where it viii probably die,
In view Of recent House approval Of the appros
priation rider. The repeal bin has the support
Of the defense agencies, the Budget Bureau and
the Civil Service Commission, for the reason
that the ban on leave accumulation works to
the disadvantage of employees engaged in vital
emergency work Employees of offices where the
werk-load is light will bs able to take all Of
their leave within the fiscal yeaf, but those WHO
are working under pressure Tor the. war effort
cannot be spared. Thus, defense workers will
be unfairly treated by the rider.
The Civil Services Committees have been
studying the leave question In general and
alleged abuses Of accumulated leave in particu-
lar. The proper way to correct such abuses il
through Legislation that has been prepared
carefully after thorough inquiries by these COM
mittees. Any deviation from this course during
the emergency may result in ineduities that
could hamper defense. WORK IN the Federal

Rent Control Still Necessary

The District rent control law was the nrSt
one enacted in the United States to deal with
the emergencies created by World War II. One
of the reasons for this early action here was
that the ctys real estate interests saw the hand
writing on the wall and worked together for
legislation which, locally administered, would be
as fair as any rent control can be.
While spokesmen for the real estate interests
have been practically unanimous in their formal
testimony opposing an extension Of rent control
here, the law expiring June 3O 1851, it is unreal
istic to believe that continuation of rent control
Is avoidable. We are sure to get It, as the lesser
of two evils The sensible objective now should
be q revision of the existing act that will be as
fair as possible. In fairness to property owners,
for example, some increase in rentals, frozen as
Of January !. 1a41, should be allowed. Rent Ad-
mintstrator Cogsweu has suggested a 20 per cent
rise, less the percentage increases which have
been permitted in individual cases since January
of 1941. Real estate men, opposing for the
record any extension are asking 80 per cent IN
case the law is extended.
The fairness of some increase ought to be
obvious. Everything else has gone up, including
wages of tenants. When Mr.. CogsweRs figure
of 20 per cent is analyzed as he did in his own
testimony, the permissible increase would be
much less than 20 per cent. In spot cheek he
made of Is apartment houses, the lowest In
crease now would be and the highest IS per
cent when previous percentage increases are de-
Quoted. Compare these nominal increases with
the increase of 77.6 per cent in the cost-of-ying
index in the District between March, 1871, and
February, 1851.
The committees in Congress, which have rent
control legislation for the Ditxict under consid-
Grafton, will naturally seek the fairest figure be-
tween the low of 90 per cent and the high OF
so per cent that have been suggested.

New Factor in Color Tv Dispute

The color television pictures already confused,
has been complicated by new kind Of inter-
ference. Just as the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn was launching its campaign to win friends
and influence people in behalf of its Supreme
Court-sanctloned incompatible" nethed Of trans
mitting and receiving color TV the Radio Cor
poration of America offers CHS a color tube that
may revolutionize color television at the very
outset. The televiewing public will not be miSied
by this cooperative gesture. RCA was hardly
motivated by unselish reasons in making its
secret eectronic gadget available to its chief rival
In the color television field. RCA has not given
up the fight to prove the superiority Of its "cona-
patihle" system over the FCC-approved CHS
system. If its new tube is all its sponsors claim
It is more doubts will be raised as to the wisdom
Of the FEC decision for CHS color.
RCA admits that mass production OF its new
tri-color tube may be two years on, counting time
necessary to tool up for new design, eliminate
manufacturing kinks and bring production costs
down to reasonable level. But even the posi-
bility of two-year wait for tube that would
eliminate wf1iritng discs and converters would
not worry the industry too much, confronted as
it is with war contracts and material shortages
The RCA tube would eliminate the spinning color
wheel that is an Objectionable part of the CHS
system today, but use Of that incompatible
system would still involve Installation Of a
converter to enable conventienal black-and-
white receiver TO pick rp CRs eoloe pictures.
The method which RCA has demonstrated
publicly with favorable results requires neither
color wheel nor converter.
CHS says it will 60 ahead with its spinning
discs and converters in the confident belief that
the public wants color TV right now. even with
its disadvantages. But the FEC should be giving
further serious study. to The question Of whether
the public will be better served by buying wheels
and conHsrters now or waiting until compatible
Eectronic system outmodes them. At least the
Foe ought to investigate the new RCA tube care
fully before committing the public and the tn
dustfy to an Incompatible system.
