Senate Receives New Rent Bills
Washington March 17 Senate lawmakers split on general rent increases as two new bills surface. Taft and McCarthy back a temporary wage for rent control extended to March 1 1948 with a possible area based decontrol board while Cain proposes extensions to February 19 1948 and preservation of OPA functions with no ceilings on new construction or hotels. Maj. Gen. Fleming testifies urging continued controls to June 30 1948 noting windfall risks and individual hardship cases. He argues a March 31 1948 bill would fail to provide needed tools and enforcement would rely on court actions.
