Woods Move To End Rent Control In One Third Areas
Washington AP The Housing Authority plans to lift rent controls in about one third of areas still under regulation. President Woods ordered senior aides and regional officials to outline which regions will be affected and whether controls will be raised in borderline communities with adequate housing. Officials said details will not be ready for several days and stressed the action targets communities with existing or near term housing growth. The plan, tied to the federal rent act expiring next July, would keep ceilings in place where gouging is unlikely and lift them where not needed. The decision follows budget clashes with Congress and reflects accelerated pace after funding cuts. Page 2.

The measure follows Secretary Acheson’s warning that the cut could signal distrust of alliance partners.

The State Supreme Court upheld a 1847 act setting school entry at six by January 15 for fall enrollment and by June 1 for midyear entry. The ruling follows a circuit court order admitting Guntersville children to elementary school under the act, despite Attorney General Carmichael’s advisory opinion that the 1947 measure was unconstitutional and vague. The case arose from a suit by five Guntersville parents and legislation to revert to the old deadline awaits action in the State Senate.
