Representative Wood asked if the real estate men had anything to do with the tearing down of buildings mn the Plaza area under development, by | the Federal Government. His ques- | tion evoked a ripple of laughter from the spectators, jammed in the hear- ing room. Mr. Wood said he believed many | occupants of less desirable quarters | would have preferred to live in the razed buildings. He said comparative rents here are from 50 to 100 per cent higher than | in St. Louis and Kansas City. Ring also said he favored the crea- tion of some agency for adjudication of disputes between landiords ard tenants. Chairman Ellenbogen asked Ring if terday. rental situation. The witness said it might result in the elimination of some rental properties, but sgreed with the chairman that sn emergency exists in the local housing situation | and urged establishment of a per- manent Rent Control Commissicn. C. M. Maples, representing the Washington Central Labor Union Rent Commission, read statements from workers who said they could not bring their families to Washington because of their inability to find hous- ing accommodations. He also cited figures showing recent rental increases Chairman Ellenbogen remarked he had received letters from tenants in- forming him their landlords had threatened to raise rents as a result of the restoration of the Federal pay cut. Other witnesses said many tenants were reluctant to file complaints for fear of retaliation by their landlords. Robert M. Santon, an architect also representing the labor union, said an emergency exists and urged creation of a permanent rent commission, Mrs. B. M. McCord said she pays nearly $60 a month for a two-room epartment, 2310 Connecticut avenue. She said her rent was raised $5 a month atter restoration of the Gov- ernment pay cut. She said she in- formed her landlord she would not pay a rumored second increase of from $15 to $20 a month and was given an Unable to find another apartment in Washington, she said she and her daughter are considering moving to Baltimore and commuting.

Chairman King of the Senate Dis- trict Committee today reiterated his belief that present conditions in Wash- ington do not constitute an emergency such as would justify establishment of s rent-fixing commission. Senator King said that the fact that newcomers arriving in the city cannot find houses overnight does not, in his opinion, call for action by Congress to have the Government build houses or regulate rent. Pointing to indications of a revival of building operations, the Utah Sen- ator said Government housing projects or rent fixing would have the effect of discour: this revival of house buildi e sald that if the hous- ing rent situation were such as to effect the permanent population as well as the new arrivals in the city, he might take a different view of pro- prosed legislation. Referring to the recent joint dis- cussion between House and Senate members, Senator King said he sug- gested at that time that a report be obtained from James Ring, who studied housing problems for the Public Util- ities Commission some time ago, to as- | certain what the present situation is. — BABY CRIB REQUESTED An “S O S” was sent out today by the District Chapter of the American | Red Cross, with headquarters at 1730 ' E street, seeking & crib or bed and » baby carriage for destitute families | here.

C, FRIDAY MAY 10, 1935. Mothers Acclaimed in House For Quenchless Fire of Love BY WILL P. KENNEDY. Viyidly picturing & vital mother, understanding of the problems of her children, daring anything for them, a leader who sets the standards of life generation after generation—Repre- sentative John Stephen McGroarty of California delivered the Mother day address in the House. Himself a poet whose stirring lines were in school readers nearly 40 years ago and who is poet laureate of Cali- fornia by act of the Legislature, Mr. McGroarty struck away from the cus- tomary sob and lugubrious tribute to meek motherhood. He described her developing with the times to meet the changing conditions for her children. He spoke from his’ heart without manuscript and closed with this summgtion of mother’s in- comparable place in life: “A day of May has been chosen most appropriate to this observance, that month on the calendar of the year named in honor of Mary, the Jewish maiden, who was chosen to be the mother of Christ, the world's redeemer, and who was so pure of heart and soul that the poet Wordsworth sang of her a8 ‘our tained nature’s solitary boast,’ and who is still, as she must ever be, the model of all motherhood. “Yet, all mothers are divine. One and all they have gone down into the valley of the shadow in that travail which only mothers can know. It is only mothers from under whose hearts are torn the sons of men.
