Far Reaching Change In Rent Law Proposed
A Senate subcommittee recommended a sweeping revision of rent control allowing unlimited increases under long term leases. The measure would extend authority beyond current end dates and shift some control to local authorities while continuing federal administration. Key provisions include stronger administration, removal of controls on construction like theaters, and continued expediting supervision by the Federal Housing Expediter.

Mammoth Carrier Planned Despite Missile Progress
Washington reports Navy planners outline a huge 80 000 ton carrier plus four fast submarines and a hunter killer ship, shifting funds from converting battleship Kentucky and Hawaii to guided missiles. The plan cites slower missile development but keeps future missile ships in view. Kentucky at Portsmouth Virginia and Hawaii at Camden New Jersey await conversion. Grange notes February 2 meeting with 40 members and two visitors as soil conservation topics and community projects are planned for February 16. Rural population share dropped from 85 percent in 1890 to 44 percent in 1930 and held steady through the 1930s.

Truman Eyes 10 Million for China Aid in New Plan
Washington February 3 The administration prepared to ask Congress for 10 million dollars in civilian aid to China as part of a broader European recovery package. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee wrapped hearings on aid to Europe, Vandenberg set a drafting meeting for a bill authorizing billions for 16 free nations and Western Germany. Officials said the National Advisory Council approved a civilian aid program for China despite opposition, with funds to cover food raw materials and machinery, likely before a White House submission in a week or 10 days. Some argued military aid should also go to Chiang Kai-shek’s forces, leading to a split in views within the council.

Senate Debates Vandenberg Bill To Replace Truman Plan
The Senate under Vandenberg plans to draft its own bill to replace the Truman proposal for guaranteed aid through June 30, 1952 with a 6 billion dollar appropriation. Vandenberg aims to have the measure ready for Senate debate by February 18 and then use it as a worksheet for the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which has yet to set a timetable. Also, the Middletown Pomona Grange meets for its first quarterly session with speakers including George Mullen, Fred Tressell, and Ivan Standoff, weather permitting, and Master L. H. Crickenberger to preside. The note adds a procedural tip on returning a clean bayonet gauge after checking an automobile crankcase oil.

Ike Says No Nation Ready To Start War
General Dwight D. Eisenhower told the National Press Club that no great nation, including Russia, would deliberately provoke a war at this time. He warned American forces are woefully weak and urged every citizen to become a voluntary recruiting sergeant as he prepares to leave the Army to head Columbia University. General Omar Bradley sits beside him as Ike distances himself from running for the presidency and denies any withheld backing of Douglas MacArthur.
