Senate—Sen. Francis (D. Pa.)—wants a renf-control

law tougher than any suggested)

by the Office of Housing Expediter. Sen. Myers is preparing a hill

which would take back under |3 control all rental housing except |§

hotels. * ONE—Extend rent control to new construction, but instruct the housing expediter to “make due allowance for appropriate adjustments” where the builder started to build on the understanding that the units would not be controlled. TWO—Control units converted after Feb. 1, 1947, on the same basis. THREE — Control all housing accommodations except hotels (for transients) tourists houses, and .motor courts.

Capehart Willing To Alter T-H Act

. By DAN KIDNEY Times Staff Writer 5 WASHINGTON, Nov. 19—Sen. Homer E. Capehart (R. |whose term expires in-1950, de|clared today that he is ready to | “repeal or amend” certain seg{tions of the Taft-Hartley law. Sen. Capehart and his junior colleague, Sen. William E. Jenner, both voted for the law and to override President Truman's 0.6% °° Tow de is ready: fo chagge it, the’ senior Senator

“Because I am not a member |of the Senate Labor Committee, {I am not too familiar with the |law,” Sen. Capehart asserted. “I am giving it serious study and certainly believe that some sec{tions should be repealed or |amended.” . “I think that employers, as well as union officials should be required to sign non-Communist affidavits. Also that the effects of |outlawing the closed shop should be reconsidered. Other changes may be necessary, I am ready to jake the law work in the best interests of both labor and manage-| iment.”

Accompanying Sir Robert to what is considered one of the most significant shows in the history of aviation was Roy MacGregor, assistant civil aif attache at the British Embassy in Washington. Mr. MacGregor predicted England would beat the United States to the use of jet-powered planes for civilian air transports by several years. He said the British hoped to have commercial jets in everyday operation by 1951. Nothing Comparable “We do not have any planes

ships and cargo carriers. aviation is" a hodge-podge now. Therefore, we are going to be forced to take the big step to jet propulsion before you do,” Mr. MacGregor said. Sir Robert arrived in this country on Nov. 12, He hopes to complete his mission of conferring with U.-8. government agencies and military officials on air traffic problems by the first of December. Then, he will return to England. A modest man of Scottish birth, Sir Robert said he had been told he was considered the inventor of

Ind.) |radar, but that he -didn’t person-

ally want to claim the credit. Both the United States and England have given him that credit, however. The story he tells of the discovery of radar began back in January, 1935, when the British Air Ministry asked him about the practicability of death rays as a defense against e y aircraft. Wave Reflection - Sir Robert told the Ministry any work along that line should be discouraged, but said he thought enemy planes could be detected and located by the reflection of radio waves. He took charge of a small research 't€am in the late summer of 1937. As a result of a big air exercise in England, demonstrating the use of the developments of the team, a top level decision was made to transform the entire air defense system of the country to one based on radar. When not on the job, the 56-year-old Scotsman says he is somewhat of a “vegetable.” “That means I'm pretty dull company,”
