Extension Of Rent Ceilings Unlikely WASHINGTON, May 24-UP) Some top administration Demo crats doubt that federal rent ceil ingslast of the major war-imposed controls can be continued for another year. One told newsmen today that a check of House members indi cated that the vote in that body will be close, and that the House may reject even a local option bill that would continue rent ceil ings only in cities that vote to keep them. Meanwhile, the House Republi can policy committee met, dis cussed the rent bill, and took no stand on it. Rep. Wolcott of Michigan, sen ior House banking committee Re publican, said controls at the fed eral level no longer are neces sary, and he predicted the rent bill will be defeated. A vote may not come until mid-June. The banking committee ap proved 13 to 4 last Thursday the measure providing a one-year local-option continuation of federal rent powers beyond the June 30 expirrtion late. It says that rent ceilings will be lifted automati cally December 31 in all locali ties where the governing body or the citizens do not vote to con tinue the controls to June 30, 1951. This measure has no effct on rent controls laws enacted by state legislatures. It deals only with federal controls. By action of state or local authorities, controls will be out completely in 10 states as of June 30 and ceilings would be in effect only in spots in 26 other states, Wolcott said.
