Maryland ALL Urges
Special Session Call
To Revise Rent Law

Gov. McKeldin of Maryland,
was urged today to call a special
session of the State Legislature
to revamp the rent control law.
The Maryland-D. c. Fedora
ton of Labor (AFL), in session
at the Mayflower Hotel, passed
a resolution to this effect. The
resolution said the legality OF
the present Rent Control Enabl-
ing Act is in doubt, because the
Maryland Senate and House Of
Delegates Inadvertently enact
ed slightly different versions,
which threatens the future Of
rent controls" in Maryland.
The federation commended the
need of rent controls in Balti-
more, Hagerstown, Cumberland
and various other Maryland
towns has been adequately DEM
onstrated.
Sees Session Not Necessary.
After the convention adopted
the resolution. Speaker John c.
Luber of the Maryland House Of
Delegates, a guest, told the con-
vention he has talked to the
Governor, who does not think
action is necessary now, but will
call a special session If neces-
sary.
In another reolution the fed
Grafton demanded restoration Of
the $4,000 public housing units
proposed by former President
Truman.
The federation also voted to
petition Congress to create a
Washington area metropolitan
transit authority. A resolution
criticized the Capital Transit Co.
for giving less service at in
creased rates, cutting off routes
and mountaineering the public.
The federation declared it wants
economical public transporta-
ton and sees the proposed tram
sit authority here as remedy.
The federation by a vote Of
ITO to 81, yesterday referred to
its next convention the problem
of a paid full-time officer and
increasing dues.
Harry Cohen of Baltimore, re-
elected president. said the fed
eration's executive board will
submit facts and figures on the
proposal to local unions. The
four-day meeting in the May
| flower Hotel was to end today.
Says AFL Is Behind Times"
The conventions action capped
spirited debate in which advo-
Gates of the proposal to employ
a full-time paid official said the
federation is 10 years behind the
times. Proponents argued that
local unions that lack business
agents do not make progress.
But opponents declared the
locals were not consulted about
the move.
At last nights banquet, George
Meany AFL president, declared
it is doubtful if the West can
really do business with Russia.
He pointed to the proposed Big
Four conference and warned that
the Soviets should not be ap-
peased. He cited the fate Of
Czechoslovakia. Poland and the
Baltic nations as dangerous
precedents, He declared an APP
peasement peace with Russia
could lead only to- 1.-The peace OF
the grave, the peace of OBJ
livion."
The convention elected seven
vice presidents, eliminating from
the list a Baltimore candidate.
George Willinger. Successful
candidates included the Wash
ingtonianS Glen F. Preller and
j. c Turner.
Raymond c. Fogarty was picked
as federation organizer, and E.
w. Butler of Hagerstown was
selected as AFL delegate.
