Phone Unions End New York and Pennsylvania Strikes
Five unions representing 43 000 telephone workers in New York and Pennsylvania halted strikes by accepting wage deals of 3 to 4 dollars weekly. NFTW president Beirne said the Bell system's resistance to raises is weakening while NFTW unions keep picketing. Pennsylvania and New York agreements cover 6 000 workers with tiered raises and fringe benefits, but question remains if NFTW picketers will honor the lull.

Rent Bill Sparks Bipartisan Dissent in House Debate
Washington April 30 UP The House opened five hours of debate on a rent control bill aimed at holding rents at current levels through year end with both parties dissatisfied. GOP members proposed a general 10 percent increase ceiling and some backed letting rent control expire June 30. Democrats balked at ending Housing Expediter authority over materials, while the measure would abolish that office and shift control to a permanent agency chosen by the president. The bill maintains current rents through Dec 31, with possible extension to March 31 if a housing shortage is found, allows long term leases with a 15 percent bump, decontrols new construction and newly rented dwellings, and gives veterans 30 days to buy single family homes before sale to non-veterans.
