Fear Rent Boost Up to 50 Per Cent If GOP Has Way
Six Democrats warned of rent increases up to 50 percent if a House Republican rent control bill passes. The bill would strip federal authority and grant local boards power to raise rents or end controls. Democratic leaders and CIO officials condemned the measure as unconstitutional while a House showdown vote loomed. The Senate already extended controls to May 1, 1949, rejecting transfer of power to local boards.
