End Of Rent Control
Urged by Realty Men
AT House Hearing

Real estate men asked Congress
today to do away with rent con.
trolls.
They said the controls are un.
fair to property owners and de-
more harm than good.
The National Association o1
Real Estate Boards urged thai
rent controls and controls on al
prices and wages be allowed tc
expire June 80.
The organizations statement
was given by Harry j. Fitzger-
aid, chairman of the nationa
associations Rent Decontrol Sub.
committee. He testified before
the House Banking Committee
holding hearings on the proposed
extension beyond June 80 of the
various controls measures in the
Defense Production Act.
Survey Is Quoted.
Mr.. Fitzgerald quoted a rea'
estate survey which reported that
while the cost of living, including
rents, is now 70 per cent above
the 1921-1938 average, rents in
decontrolled cities are only 1875
per cent higher.
Henry DuLaurence of Cleveland
representing the National Apart
ment Owners Association, sug-
geSted Congress at least make de-
control mandatory in cities where
there have been more housing
units made available in the last
10 years than the increase in popu-
lation.
There are more than 8 million
owners of rental property, the
committee was told by William
Schmidt of Chicago, president of
the Property Owners Association
OF America. He warned of the
political strength of this group.
4'' ArnalI Assails Proposal.
In other action on the controls
law Price Stabilizer Ellis Arnall
has protested that a Senate-pro-
posed amendment to price con-
trolls would have serious inflation-
ary consequences.
The proposed amendment to the
Defense Production Act would re-
quire the Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton to raise ceilings to conform to
State minimum price laws. Pro-
posed by Senator Bricker, Repub-
lican, of Ohio, it has been ap-
proved by the Senate Banking
Committee.
MIR. Arnall stated his protest in
a letter to Chairman Maybank of
the Senate committee. He wrote:
Il agree that OPS should not
capriciously refuse to recognize
State minimum price laws and as
sure you that OPS will permit cell
ing prices to be raised to the State
minimum levels in any case where
the level Of prices would not be
substantially increased"

By Democrat Probers
On Charge Of Waste
BY the Associated Press

The Executive Committee of the

clared:

OF all the facts. the Executive

The statement said Mr.. Bradley
had implied that expenses SUBJ
mitted by Mr.. Mckinney and his
three assistant chairmen, totalling
$22,890 for the first four months
OF 1852, were excessive.
"Mr. Bradley fails to mention
the important fact that Mr.. Nc
Kinney is serving as chairman
without salary or any other kind
of compensation" the statement
continued. Ellis predecessor was
paid $35,000 a year plus all ex-
penses.
