Rent Controls
Assured To June
Then Fight Begins

Washington (LPA)-The House
of Representatives passed a rent
control extension bill March 10
which will protect 100000 tenants
until June 80, but even as the bill
was on its way to the White House
for President Truman's expected
signature, the real estate men were
taking off the wraps to make a
slugfest out of what has been
sparring match up until now.
Rent controls affected a peak Of
100000 dwelling units and 1922
100000 people in 1916, just after
the end of World War III. Right
now 6,750,000 units, housing $780,
900 people are under controls.
About four million of these units
are covered by cities which acted
under a provision Of the Federal
Rent Control act allowing them to
extend controls from March 81
until June 30. The other 2,750,0G0
have not acted and would have
been open to rent boosts after
March 81 if Congress had not step
ped in.
The Administration hopes to get
a unified wage-price-rent control
bill passed by June 80.
Real estate men put up a token
fight against the three-month ex-
tension. Their champion in the
House, Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott Or,
Mich.), has already promised "trou-
BILE" to Administration efforts to
get broader rent control included
in the defense plan setup and the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards is planning a fight based
on renters as a minority" group.
Alexander Summer, NAREB pre-
sident, claims only 5.6 percent of
the population is affected by the
extension. He does not mention
that he is counting only the $780,
900 living in towns which did not
act on their own. He does not in
clude the 100000 living in COM
which did request extern
sion until June 30-and he did not
mention the growing thousands in
decontrolled defense and military
areas who are being sucked fin
ancially dry for rooms in barns
and shacks.
Joker is that once controls are
lifted in towns they cannot be re-
imposed by Federal Housing Adj
Tighe E. Woods. This
leaves many towns around Army
camps and defense plants without
controls because they were remov-
ed in the lull between VI Day and
Korea.
Another NAREB attack along
the same line is going to be that
for the first time in history the
United States has more home
owners than tenants-and why
should home owners be forced to
pay higher taxes to "subsidize"
renters.
NAREB argument is that rent
controls force people to buy houses
because owners refuse to rent at
controlled rates. Actually it is
high uncontrolled rents which
force people to become owners
they Just can't afford the rents.

No wonder because in l948 he graduated from the

The memories that feed the motive in the mind oil
this dying young man are similar to those which live in

active economic opportunities Nearly everyone of them
looks forwafdto the day when he go back his od
