Rent control clash in senate over extension and repeal
In Washington the Senate debated Truman's plea to extend rent control past June 30 while a bill to end all controls gained support from Senator O Daniel of Texas and several Republicans.

Herbert V. Nelson of the National Association of Real Estate Boards argued apartment owners deserve relief. More details appear on page 12-A.
