Disarmament Debates Rise as War-weary World Calls for Limits
In a U N push toward disarmament Russia urged an international commission and full force tallies by January 1. The United States and Britain demanded counts of home forces as well as abroad. In Congress, the War Investigating Committee shelved a probe into U S occupation in Germany amid reports of irregularities, black market activity, and political strain among occupying powers. Meanwhile Dallas landlords led a rent control challenge, led by Gold Star mother Mrs. Frank Morris, urging owners’ rights as vacant units rose and individual landlords faced penalties and eviction pressure from OPA actions. Two World War I veterans, Joe H. Blann and Capt. John R. Lowery, highlighted the movement by opposing rent controls and keeping dozens of units idle.
