’^ r 't*N REPORTS
Rent Control Extended
The House and Senate finally
got together on an extension of
rent control for another fifteen
months. In some respects it is
much stronger than the bill
passed last year. It gives the
Housing Expediter the right to
regulate evictions, to sue for
triple damages for rent ceiling
violations, and to re-control any
roas he might de-control here¬
after; it requires the Expediter’s
approval before additional units
created by conversion may be de¬
controlled ; it restores controls
cn certain units such as trailers
and those that have been vacant
for two years: it abolishes the
15'.' voluntary increase allowed
by previous law.
c‘ii li 1 o her hand, it proposes
to guarantee the landlord a fair
operating income (whatever that
means—no one seems to knowb;
and it allows local communities
to decontrol with the consent of
the Governor of the state. Like¬
wise, a state through its legisla¬
ture could decontrol the entire
state.
Tax On Margarine Repealed
BY HOUSE
A bill to repeal all federal taxes
on oleomargerine has passed the
House. At the same time re-
rrients were written into the bill
to protect the diary farmers and
public, preventing the sale
of colored margarine unless the
container is plainly stamped so
as to identify the contents as
such and to require certain things
by restaurants and cafes so that
customers will know whether
they are being served butter or
margarine. It is hoped the Sen¬
ate will pass the bill, so that this
long controversy between the
butter producers and manufac¬
turers of margarine may be fi¬
nally settled, and the public per¬
mitted to choose whichever of
the products his pocketbook or
his taste dictates, with the as¬
surance he is getting the exact
product he wants.
House Busy On appropriations
While the Senate has been
v Irving to catch up with the
work piled up during the filibus-
ter, the House has been working
busily on several appropriation
bills. Last week I reported on
the bill providing funds for the
Army Engineers for their work
cn flood control and other pro¬
jects. Since that report we have
passed the bill appropriating
funds for the Department of the
Interior, which among other
things has control over our Na¬
tional Parks and Monuments.
Cherry Blossoms Glorify
Washington
Refusing to wait upon man’s
plans for a three-day celebra¬
tion, known as the Cherry Blos¬
som Festival, the Japanese cher¬
ry trees, a gift of long ago from
the Japanese government to the
United States, have burst into
full bloom under the caress-' sof
the warm springtime sunshine.
Around the tidal basin, and al¬
most surrounding the Jefferson
Memorial, they present a gorge¬
ous sight, once seen never to be
forgotten. Never have I seen so
many photographers and home
movie camera operators. And
the sight is one certainly worth
preserving in black and white
and especially on the colored
film that is now available.
To make the blossoms last
longer than the usual five days
the trees and blossoms have
been sprayed with harmone
spray in the hope that they will
not be scattered before the thou¬
sands of out-of-town people who
are expected for the festival this
week end, can see and enjoy
them.
Attempt t 0 Cut E. C. A. Funds
Republican Senator Taft and
our own Senator Russell have
joined forces in an effort to cut
by ten percent the proposed ap¬
propriation for the European
Recovery Program, known as the
Marshall Plan. Whether or not
the cut is wise I cannot say at
this time because the authoriza¬
tion for the continuance of ECA
has not been as yet debated in
the House. While we want to
expend what is necessary to as-
eure a stable and prosperous F
rope, we should not let the ap¬
propriation be so large that it
would in any way put a nundue
strain upon our own economy.
A stable and strong America is.
of course, the first requisite for
a stable, strong and peaceable
World.
New Pension Bill
Mr. Rankin of Mississippi, af¬
ter the defeat of his first veter¬
ans’ pension bill, has introduced
every needy disabled veteran of
another, which would pay to
World War I, a monthly pension
of $72. This bill seems to meet
general approval, and will no
doubt have easier sailing in the
House than the former bill.
However, we had amended the
former bill, until its provisions
were almost identical with the
one now introduced, accept for
one crippling amendment which
would have based the amount
of the pension granted each sol-
dier upon the amount of service
he had rendered in point of
time. As the unfortunate a-
mendment could have been elim¬
inated by a record vote in the
House, I favored the bill as
amended, and voted not to re¬
commit. However, as I reported
Jastweek, the bill went back to
j.he committee by one vote.
Hence the new bill by Mr.
Rankin.

Was glad to have as my guest

Xhe Southern Railway doesn’t lean on a "sub¬
sidy crutch” fashioned from your tax dollars.
Because we know there is no self-respect
J jl a handout... for an individual or a business
we prefer to build and maintain our own
Jteel "highways,” stations, signalling and other
facilities . . . with our own dollars.
Other forms of transportation use highways,
< jairports and waterways built and maintained
\>y your tax dollars and ours. But not railroads.
I, A V Isn’t the "self-reliant-railroad-way” the way
it ‘ that built America? Isn’t it the w ay to keep
America strong? Isn’t it the way that’s best
ll fgx jtqu and your children ?
