City Council Must Act To Confinue
Rent Control Here After December
\ Increased responsibility for the
Athens community in connection
with Federal Rent Control is in
| cluded in the mew Housing and
Rent Aet of 1950 which became
effective July 1, it was stated to
day by Harold J. Robertson, area
yent director.
, 'He said the new law is substan
: tially the same as the old one and
ithat under it tenants continue to
! be protected against unreasonable
jrent increases and against illegal
| evictions, while landloards are as
| sured fair net operating income,
¢ All rent office administration work
{ here will be carried on, he said,
subject to recommendations of the
Athens Rent Advisory Board.
Council Action
“The Office of the Housing Ex
pediter is continued to June 30,
1951 by the new law and authoriz
ed to mm rent control admin
istration ugh rent officers like
ours,” he said.
However, even though the law
1s extended one year, control will
continue after December 31 of this
vear only if, before that date,
,;‘mr and City Council takes af
irmative action to declare that a
shortage of rental housing exists
that requires the continuation of
rent control.
He added that this affirmative
action to continue federal rent
eontrol after December 31 ecould
also be taken by popular referen
dum, conducted under local law.
If no affirmative action is tak
en, rent control ends December 31.
The rent official pointed out
that, as in the previous law, local
rent control may be' ended any
time between July 7, 1950 and
June 30, 1951 by a resolution of
the Mayor and City Council after
s\.xblic hearlng, or by recommen=
tion of the Rent Advisory Board
substantiating a finding that the
need for housing has been reason
ably met, or by initiative of the
Housing Expeditor.
Two Changes
Two changes in the new rent
law are — unincorporated areas
are given the right to decontrol by
following the same procedures as
followed by~ incorporated cities,
towns and villages in exercising
local option, and local option ac
tion no longer requires n%proval
of the Governor. Mr. Robertson
said that as a result of exrerience
under the osmiom rent law and
the study of testimony offered by
By DR. A. HARRY TIMM, JR.
Diseases of teh stomach are
divided into many classes and
called by various names, but back
of all stomach weakness there is a
cause that is

When we realize that severing

would cause the stomach to be

landlord and tenant representa
tives during recent congressional
hearings, changes in the rent reg
ulations are being worked out in
Washington to:
Correct fiaws found after a
year's operation of the fair net op
erating income provision;
Tighten compliance activities in
the larger cities where violators,
taking advantage of the limited
personnel, have become bolder in
their evasion of the law and reg
ulations;
Permit Rent Advisory Boards to
participate more actively in ad
justment cases of both tenants
and landlords;
Permit Rent Advisory Boards to
recommend area-wide adjustments
to compensate for blanket increas
es in local real estate taxes.
The new law also continues ve
terans preference in the purchase
or rental of new construction.
Under the provision veterans of
World War II are given 30 days
preference to buy or rent new
housir_:}h not built for owner occu
pacy. This is effective nation-wide,
including areas mnot under rent
control.

MacArthur’s communique said
American forces were able to halt
one enemy drive at a point eight
miles northwest of Cochiwon on
the south bank of the Miho river,
a tributary of the Xum.
This drive has succeeded in
penetrating south to Chonui, ap
proximately 25 miles northwest of
Taejon.
The communique said “the re
mainder of this front” was “rela
tively stable near Chongan,”
which the Communists reached
yesterday. |
Red Reinforcements |
However, additional troops and
armor are being concentrated in
this sector.
The Reds were reported to be
active in the Umsong-Chongju
area.
Communist activity on the East
Coast increased, the announcement
said, “although it still remains on
a relatively small scale.”
Enemy strength was reported in
creasing near Utching, an East
!Coast port about 125 miles north
of Pusan.
The Fifth Air Force's light bomb
ers supported by B-29s attacked
bridges, hifhvuyl and railroads
with “excellent results,” the com
munique said.
)‘m%m planes ranged widely,
strafing highways, bridges and
railroads with pockets and ma
chineguns to support round
i tr;):ps, the general’s Mnlque
said.
"American and South Xorean
ground troops were gemng sledge
hammer support-—-the heaviest of
the war-from allied aireraft, Gen
eral MacArthur said his planes
knocked out 65 Communist tanks
and 190 trucks Monday for a re¢-
ord single=day bag.
45-Mile Front
But despite an estimated total
loss of 170 tanks, the North Ko=
reans kept hurling armor=led &rues
sure against American and th
Korean infantrymen in four ma
jor sectors stretching across a bat
tle area 45 miles wide.
Thirty to 40 Réd tanks were
spotted speeding !owarq( the
American sector, about eight miles
north of U. 8. headquarters at Tae
jon. An American spokesman there
said some of the Russian-made
tanks were big 33-tonners.
This column of Red armor was
wide open for another aerial
pounding. The Air Force said fly
ing weather was excellent, the
sameé as yesterday, when Mac=
Arthur's planes flew 315 sorties—
‘a new high, The first appearance
of Red jet fighters yesterday—
three Russian-built Yak-15"s—did
nothing to spare the North Ko
reans their terrific mauling. The
Air Force said there were no Al
lied air losses.
The U. S. tanks fought well al
though an advanced headquarters
spokesman said they were outgun
ned by the Red tanks, presumably
heavier with bigger guns. H=~ said
the American tanks had “acquit=
ted themselves very nicely.”
