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 Tax On Margarine Repealed BY HOUSE A bill to repeal all federal taxes on oleomargerine has passed the House.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. i Visitors Was glad to have as my guest for lunch in the House Restau¬ rant on yesterday, my good friend Dick Raines of Carters- ville.
