7 Houses Split
On Extension Of Rent Curbs
‘New Bill Pushed
rs Congress despite oi Senate Banking Committee's
efforts to push through a new rent
gp Banking Committee unanimously approved a measure late yesterday that would extend controls for 14 months, but permit another round of 15 cent rent boosts in return for Jeases running through next year. However, the bill cannot go to the Senate floor for debate until Feb. 23—just six days be{fore the present law expires. ~ Capehart’s Proposal And even if the Senate approves it, there is no assurance that the House will follow suit. That's why some legislators of both parties are advocating a temporary extension. The House Banking Committee

Ind.) today recommended a threemonth continuance to give Con- : gress a chance to evaluate ‘he effect of the market slump on the cost of living. As jt now stands, the Senate bill would: ONE: Continue rent control through April 30, 1949.

THREE: Permit continuation]
of .the 15 per cent “voluntary” increases in leases extending through 1949. FOUR: Remove ceilings from ; apartments renting for $225 a x month or more 60 days before the act becomes law, FIVE: Decontrol rented rooms in private homes, but not in rooming houses. a - SIX: Extend all veterans’ ben-
