FUTURE OF RENT CONTROL The fact that prices of many commodities and services

have not skyrocketed since the expiration of OPA is attrib

uted largely to the possibility that this agency, will be re-

Ivived, although there have been cases of admirable self-re

straint among producers and sellers.

That possibility now rests largely upon success of sena

torial efforts to draft a compromise extension bill which will be more acceptable to President Truman than the emas

culated OPA measure which he vetoed. As we await final details of an action on the senatorial substitute, consider

able attention, is focused upon the particular problem of rent control.

During the prolonged controversy that preceded the veto,

there was little disposition to tamper with rent ceilings.

iwen bitter congressional critics of OPA were willing for

these ceilings to remain pending general stabilization of

prices. And it is simf icant that volunteer rent control agen

cies are being organized here and in many other commun

ities throughout the nation.

Kent control is the most vital problem confronting ev

ery citizen who is not a property owner and that group includes a very large .proportion of individuals depending upon fixed income. Wage earners and pensioners can com

bat soaring prices of commodities to some extent by limiting purchases to necessities and buying only the least expensiverttems. But uhcojitrQlled rentals could lead to indes

cribable hardships.

Even greedy and callous landlords who. we hone, con

stitute only .a small minority of owners or rental proper

tiesmay shrink from attending cases of gouging and

wholesale evictions.

Unfortunately, however, rent control cannot be isolated

from other price conditions. Volunteer! agencies, such as

our local committee, have fto powei; except moral pressure, and probably the most they can accomplish is to restrict the rate of increase. New York has a state rent control law, but Sylvia Porter, financial editor of the New York Post, doubts its effectiveness if other "prices are uninhibited. She makes this pertinent comment : "If prices skyrocket in other lines and landlords (who al

so" are human beings) find themselves caught in a vicious spiral of rising operating costs in their buildings and rising living costs in their own homes, they'll demand and

mey 11 get relief from what they'll condemn as unfair dis crimination and intolerable injustice."

-A separate national rent, control law likewise might be ineffective against a vicious inflationary condition. The conclusion is inescapable, therefore, that the future of rent control is tied up closelv with the nossibilitv of reviving' a

workable OPA program. Public pressure upon Congress to

enact sucn a measure is needed as never before.

TRIESTE BRITISH RIOT IN ' REPRISAL British occupation troops smartinrig under the indignities of their comrades suffered from Italian rioters last Saturday turned on the Italians in a violent counter demonstration. Show windows were smashed and heads were cracked during the one hour fracas in downtown Trieste before club-swinging British military police drove the angry troops back to their barracks.

I SEE THAT. . Children do not outgrow visual shortcomings! Some parents neglect signs of faulty vision in their children and rationalize such attitude by saying that the youngsters will "outgrow" their seemg difficulties. But that is a perilous viewpoint to take. If a child's eyes do not function properly the condition may be aggravated through reading and other difficult visual tasks, causing eyestrain and permanent impairment of sight. The widespread neglect of children's eyes t is severely scored by the Bureau of Health Education of New York City, which says in a bulletin: "The greatest stumbling block in the. campaiga. to. x conserve vision is-., the ignorance- or indifference of. mtny parents. In spite of the fact that their children may squint, complain of headaches or show signs of eyestrain, these parents fail to have the children's eyes ex

amined. & &

"Some parents," continues the health education bureau, "actually believe that young children do not need glasses and that somehow or other they will 'outgrow' any visual defects. Of course, there is no scientific basis whatever for this view. The earlier in life any abnormality in the eyes is discovered and corrected, the less the danger of any progressive impairment of vision. Many a backward student has shown rapid progress in his studies as soon as his vision lias become normal." Now is the time, of course, during school vacation, to see if your child's eyes need attention. DR. C. E. FISHER

ABOVE where Daisy and Pete were stuck with the car, l a figure in a mackintosh appeared on the porch of i big white house. "Hello," the figure called. "YOu stuck?" The man came down, "I'll give you a hand." Pete said, "This is awfully kind of you. My name's Lapham. My wife." "Mine's Whiting. I think if your wife will drive, you and I might be able to get you out." "Yell when you want me to give her gas," Daisy said. The men went around to the back, "Gas her!" Pete yelled. The car lurched and Daisy tugged at the wheel. As it started to climb there was a prolonged metallic shudr der, as of an electric stove" full' of pots and pans, falling to pieces. Daisy found Pete and. Mr. Whiting crouched by mJ SffetfJi peering under the car. "It's the spring all

right," Pete said, "Broke when we hit the hole." "You'd better come in and haveva drink," Whiting said, "and phone for the wrecker." Whiting left them in a delightful living room. "Hello," said a pleasant voice froni the door. "My husband said you'd had such 'bad luck with the car. Do take off your wet things and pull up to the fire." Daisy found Mrs. Whiting very warming after the wind and the rain. Then she suddenly realized the complications of the car breakdown. "We were going to .drive to New York-Monday for me to sign a contract," she said. "I don'l suppose, th? car will be fixed. I can take the train but now I'll have to figure out how to get to the boat for the mainland.- ' . Whiting had, come in with hot toddies and he handed one .to Daisy.

But Pete still sneezed occasionally .... By Monday the weather had really broken but Pete's co'.d had not, and Daisy went off alone. She had time to make coffee and gulp a cup before the Whitings honked out?ide. She sat on the edge of the bed and said goodbye to Pete. "Knock 'em dead," he said. "Now beat it." Daisy said goodbye to the Whitings at th6 boat landing. "You've been so kind," she said. "Thank you Very much.' They waved to her until the boat disappeared behind East Chop . . .
