RENT CURBS TERMED TOO WEAK
BY DEMOS, TOO STRONG BY GOP
Senate Version Okayed
By Banking Committee
WASHINGTON, March 18— (AP)—
A Senate hill allowing rent increases up
to 10 percent and letting the states scerayp
rent controls drew both Democratic and
Republican fire tedav — for different
reasons. :
The bill provides for continuing
federal rent controls 12 to 15
months except where the states
either remove them or take over
the control program. It was ap
proved late yesterday by the Sen
ate Banking Committee and the
Senate agreed last night to start
debate on it Monday.
The present rent control law ex
pires March 31. The House already
has passed a 15-month extender
which -alse provides fer “home
rule” decontrol. ;
Senator McGrath of Rhodes Is
land, the Democratic National
Chairman, said the senate meas
ure “ought to be given ii’s proper
name — it’s not a rent control bill,
it's a decontrol. bill.”
On the Republican side, Sena
tor Bricker of Ohio said the bill
does not go far enough toward
decontrol.
McGrath was directing his re
marks to a prediction by Senator
Sparkman (D-Ala) that the Tru
man administration “will be well
pleased” with the Senate bill.
Sparkman, chairman of a sub
committee which drafted the bill,
made the statement in denying
published reports that the meas
ure was the produet of a coalition
of Republicans and Southern
Democrats out to sguttle President
Truman’s legislative program.
McGrath said: “From the ad
ministration’s standpoint, I don’t
think the bill measures up to what
was expected of us.”
Mr. Truman asked for a two
year extension of the rent pro
gram ?nd a general tightening Of
controls,
The bill calls for a flat 12-
month extension of controls and
provides for continuance of rent
ceilings and eviction controls for
still another three months if in
dividual tenants wanted that pro
tection. But during the latter three
months, tenants eould negotiate
new ieases at any rent they want
ed. And any dwellings becoming
vacant Quring that time would he
decontrolled immediately.
Sparkman said the net effect is
a 15-month extension. But Sena
tor Cain (R-Wash) took exception
to that. He said it’s only a 12-
month extension with provision
for a decontrol speedup during the
following three months.
The increase provision allows
rents to be boosted five per cent
October 1, 1949 and another five
per cent April 1, 1950, but in no
case could the cumulative increase
push the rent more than 15 per
?gg}{ above the level of June 30,

Educators Urge Tax Referendum
Passage: Vote Campaign Planned
Local Meet Draws 200 Delegates
From Three Neighboring Counties
BY VINCENT WATSON
Approximately 260 representatives from Athens and
Monroe. and Clarke, Oconee, Madison and Walton coi
ties attended a district Georgia Fducatien Agsociation
rally in Athens High School Cafeteria Thursdav at 2:50
p. m. to plan an orgunized camygign for approval of the
April 5 tax referendum, :Q s
! Fred Johnson, district officer o 1
the State Deparfinent of Health,
Donald J. edell, dean of
the University School of Forestry,
William Tate, University Dean of |
Men, Miss Mary Townes, librarian
of the Athens Regional Library,
and Chappelle Matthews, represen
tative from Clarke county, spoke
in behalf of the benefits their or-
Iganizations and the community |
will derive by approval of the |
tax referdum.
Dr. O. C. Aderhold, dean of the
University College of Education, |
in asking for support of every
school principal, teacher, and par~
ent, stated, “The Minimum Foun- |
dation Program for Education has |
veen passed. We now have the|
‘problem of financing that pro-)
gram {0 put it -in otoperation.”
In the House fight on rent con
trols, many rural district members
voted for amendments which their
city colleagues contended would
weaken controls in crowded eities.
There was much private talk of
possible “reprisals.”
Chairman Cooley (D.-N.C.) of
the House Agriculture Committee
said “I have heard no threats, but
several members have taken oc~
casion to tell me that thay thought
the rural members should have
gone along” with the city members
for a stronger rent control bill.
“But I don’t think there will be
any reprisals,” Cooley said. “And
if there are reprisals I don’t think
they could be justified or war
ranted in any way.” ;
The House soon will consider
legislation setting future policy for
farm price supports, and other
measures vital to rural areas.
Some NortHern Democrats, who
resented the fight on the rent bill,
have been holding private con
{ferences ic decide on a course of
action. :
Rep. Pace (D.-Ga.), a House
farm leader, sounded an indirect
warning to other members from
rural areas during the rent debate.
He said:
“I am sure, then, that those of
us who serve farm districts will
not be wanting in sympathy and
understanding of the problems
faced today by those who serve
our great city districts.
“I am sure we will not be un
mindful of the fact that ‘we serve
best the interests of the farmers
when we seek to protect the eco
nomic welfare and good standard
of living for those who consurne
the products of the farm.”
Cooley said he believes city and
country members will “get to
gether and solve our problems in
a spirit of mutual cooperation.”
“Some city members assume the
attitude when they vote for farm
price support legislation they are
doing something only in the inter
est of the farmer,” said Cooley.
Three-Point Frogram
Dr. Aderhold outlined a three
point program for putting the
April 5 tax referendum over: (1)
Give the people the facts so that
they can understand the improve
ments of overall services to the
state and community. (2) Ex
plain to the community the actual
situation in education, public
health, libraries, and other ser
vices and get them emotionally
aroused to do something about it;
and (3) Get the voters to the polls
on April 5 to register their opin
ions.
Representing the University of
Georgia, Dean William Tate cited
the drop in enrcllment of veteran
students, whose government paid

a good income during the past

Details Of Vast Atlantic
Defense Alliance Kavealed
Reds Pushing
Filibuster
On West Pact
ROME, March 18— (AP)—The
Chamber of DNenutiss, heating
down a dogged Leftist filibuster,
voted tonight to authorize the
government to negotiate Italy’s
adhelence to the North Atlantic
Defense Alliance.
ROME, March 18 —(AP)—ltal
ian Communists in the chamber of
deputies ran a dogged fillibuster
against the North Atlantic defense
pact into the third da)? today.
Outside the police - ringed
Chamber building, sporadic Red
inspired vioience broke out in sev
eral cities. The disorders — in
Rome, Milan, Genoa and othe¥
areas — were quickly quelled by
police. :
No new disturbances were re
ported today. However, at Terni
a steel mill town 70 miles from
Rome, . a 24-hour general strike
was called to protest police action
yesterday in which one person
was killed and 19 injured.
At 9:30 a. m. (3:30 a. m, EST)
today there were still 35 Commun
ist and fellow traveler deputies
remaining to speak in the Parlia
ment talkathon. Each claimed the
right to explain his vote against
the alliance.
That’s what Leftist deputies
have been doing for the past two
days and nights, with the Chamber
in continuous session. &
There was a general air of fa
tigue as the bleary-eyed deputies
shuffled to and from their seats.
It gave the Chamber the air of a
railroad station where a late train
is awaited. Occasionally there
were tense stirrings and quick,
angry exchanges.
One 'of these occurred when
Communist Antonio Giolitti~ rose
and charged that many of the
spectators in the galleries were

LETTER CARRIERS
MEET HERE SATURDAY
The Athens Letter Carriers and the Ladies . uxiliaiy
with the cooperation of post office officlals and personnel
will Le hosts to the spring ccnvention of the Central Geor
aia District Association of Letter Carriers and Auviliary
here tomorrow. '
John H. Sullivan, Portland,
Maine,. member of the Executive
Board of the National Association
of Letter Carriers, will deliver the
principal address of the evening.
W. E. Banks, president of the
State Association of Letter Car
riers, will be in attendance at the
Saturday meeting.
Officers of the Central Georgia
Association are T. J. Reagan,
Savannah, president; C. A. Moye,
Wrightsville, vice-president; and
E. A. Davies, Augusta, secretary
and ° treasurer. The Executive
Board is composed of M. H. Wells,
Savannah, chairman; H. C. Sellers,
Augusta; and J. C. Kraft, jr,
Savapnah. :
Election of Officers
An election of officers will be
held at the convention Saturday.
Registration for the affair be
gins at 4 p. m. at the local post
four years. The University will re
ceive $1,500,000711e5s in income
next year because of the vteran
enr6liment drop. The average GI
student paid the equivalent in fees
of three ordinary students. Be
cause of this situation, the Uni
versity anticipates a 20 per cent
drop in income while student en
rollment will drop only 5 per cent.
‘The only way to absorb this dif
ference will be able to curtail the
university’s services. This will se
riously endanger its accredited
standing, Dean Tate stated.
Comparing the University Sys
tem of Georgia with other state
supported Southern colleges, Dean
Tate said that the University Sys
tem with twice as many students
as Louisiana State University,
gets one half the amount of state
support that LSU receives. Last
year Clemson College received
from the South Carolina Legisla
ture $600,000 more than the
University received with half as
many students.

COAL STRIKE STIFLES
OHIO RIVER TRAFFIC

As Miner Walkout Enters sth Day
. PITTSBURGH, March 18.— (AP) —i'reicht tratfic ou
the Ohio River was hit severely today as 467,000 coa!
miners start the fifth duy of a two-week “holiday.”
About 90 per cent of the freight
hauled on rivers in the Pittsburgh
District—the Ohio and its tribu
taries, mainly—is coal. g
Barge movements are infre
quent these dayg. - w
River sg:kum‘ smen said figures on
the number idled are not yet
available, :
The work stoppage already has
made more than 67,000 railroaders
idle, in addition to 467,000 coal
miners.
Most of the miners found occu
pations for their spare time, even
if only making repairs around
their homes.
In Hazleton, Pa., about 50 stal
warts of John L. Lewis’ clan
hauled out hammer and saw, rake
and ihovel and began to renovate
the IScal basehall stadium,
Last Monday, under orders of
the. United Mine Workers’ chief
tain, all miners east of the Missis~
sippi began a two-week work stop
page, a memorial to their killed
and maimed comrades. Lewis also
proclaimed the “holiday” a pro
test aaginst appointment of James
Boyd as U. S. Bureau of Mines
director. B
At Washington, the Senate last
night again postponed action on
the nomination of Dr. Boyd. There
was no indication when a vote may
come.
In West Virginia, scene of an
isolated instance of miner violence
Wednesday, law officers guarded
against further outbreaks. UMW
miners had forced trucks hauling
non-union coal to dump their loads
on the highway.
Yesterday in Harrison County,
where the incident occurred, pros
ecutor J. Phillip Clifford reminded
officers coal dumping is a eriminal
offense under the state code.
Said Clifford, “I ask that you
enforce the law rigidly.”

‘Armed’ Aid
To Members
Tops Contents
WASHINGTON, March 18—
(AP)—The North Atiantic ireaty,
it was officially disclosed today,
would nledge the United States
and Unifed Nations to resist au
tomatically an ‘‘armed eottack”
against any one of them—possi=
bly by “the use nf armed force.”
Each nation would decide for
itself whether military force was
“necessary.” The vact thus recog=
nizes that in this country only
Congress can declare war.
The unprecedented treaty, pro=-
posing for the first time in peage
to bind America in an alliance
with European nations, was made
public at 11 a. m. (EST) by the
United Statac and tha ssvan
other countries which intend to
sign it here about April 4.
This cfficial disclosure of the
terms is expected to arouse Rus
sia to new heights in propaganda
attacks against the alliance. The
Soviets already have dencunced
it as an aggressive move against
them, destite the repeated asser
tions of Western leaders that its
aim is strietly defensive,
The treaty, 1,040 words and 14
articles long, provides for crea~
tion of a council of the member
nations, and of a defense commit=
‘e to strengthen and coordinate
the defenses of the whole huge
region of North America, West~
arp Burops anc ihe North Atlans
tic.
An attack against the territory,
occupation forces, shins, planes
or islands of any of the Allies
anywhere in this vast area would
be the signal for all the powers
0 spring into action, according
to the treaty's provisions.
Attack Clause
The key pravision of the pact
is Article Five, which savs:’
“The parties agree that an
‘armed -attack ‘aganst one orimore’
of them in Europe or North Am
erica shall be counsidered an at
tack against them aiil and conse
quently they agree that, if such
an armed attack occurs, each of
them, in exercise of the right of
individua! or collective self de
fense recogrized by Article 51 of
the Charter of the United Na
tions, will assist the party or
parties so attacked by taking
forthwith, individually and in
concert with the other parties,
such action as it deems neces
sary, including the use cf armed
foree, to restore and maintain the
security of the' North Atlantic
area. L 5

all measures taken as a result
thereof shall immediately be re

Rev. Lasseter emphasizes that it
is not necessary that the volun
teers be big, brawny men, since
there are a multitude of jobs to be
done, some as simple and easy as
sorting nails.
Here'’s the story:
The West View Presbyterian
Church was organized some two
and-a-half years ago and now has
about sixty members. The mem
bership has now become of such
size that a church is necessary to
house the congregation for serv
ices.
So, a short time ago the church
acquired one of the surplus Army
Chapels, had it cut up into sec
tions and transported to the site
on the Atlanta highway. Now all
that’s needed is to re-assemble the
building. The members of the
congregation are going to pitch
in and help and the pastor and
members are asking all who will
help to report Monday and Tues
day morning as early as possible,
“The reward of those good peo
ple who will volunteer will be
two-fold,” said Rev. Lasseter.
“First, there is the satisfaction of
