' Senate May Pass Control Extension Washington, March 21 (IP) Ad ministration leaders predicted to day that the senate will pass the rent control extension bill by mid week. As the measure came up for de bate oft the senate floor, these leaders voiced confidence that it will be approved just about the way it was cleared by the sen ate banking committee. , However, three GOP senators indicated they were ready to fight the legislation In its present form. Sens. Harry P. Cain, Wash.,' John W. Bricker, O., and Homer E. Capehart, Ind., believe the one year extension proposed by the banking committee Is too long. Cam said he would offer an amendment to extend controls for only six months, with an extra six-month period of grace ,in which tenants could not be evicted for refusing to pay higher rents. The house already has passed Its own version of the rent bill, ex tending controls for 15 months. President Truman had asked for a two-year continuance. The present rent law expires 10 days from now. Government Begins Effort to Top U. S. Reds New York. March 21 "Pi The government began its effort to send 11 top U. S. communists to jail today with the charge that "their model is the Russian revo lutlon of October, 1917." U. S. attorney John F. X. Mc Gohey, facing a jury of seven women and five men In the 10th week of the communist conspir acy trial, told them to "remem ber the phrase, Marxism-Leninism." "We will show that It is funda mental in Marxism-Leninism that socialism cannot be accomplished by peace revolution," McGohey said. "Rather, it invokes violent revolution smashing the machin ery of government and setting up a dictatorship, a dictatorship of the proletariat." McGohey said the government would show that the 11 commu nist national board members eon spired to teach and advocate that their purposes could be accom plished "only by violent and forceful seizure of power by the proletariat under the leadership of the communist party." The 11, who have claimed they And when the final score, for this congress is added up, some of the selfish pressure groups are going to be pretty badly disappointed." Meeting Held Truman spoke shortly after holding his first post-vacation meeting with his "big four" legis lative leaders. They said they told him that the administration pro gram is not bogged down despite the recent senate filibuster and re verses he suffered last week. The big four Vice president Al ben W. JBarkley, Speaker Sam Rayburn, Senate democratic lead er Scott W. Lucas and House democratic leader John W. McCor mack predicted after the White House conference that a good pro gram will be enacted before con gress quits for the summer. Filibuster Unmentioned They said they did nbt discuss with Truman the southern filibus ter against changes in senate de bate rules. Nor did they talk about the action of the senate armed services committee In tabling the nomination of Mon C. Wallgren to be chairman of the national secur ity resources board. In his speech to the mayors,, Truman emphasized need for a big housing program. "In particular," he said, "we have needed a fresh start in the construction of rental housing for low-income groups, in the clear ance of slums, and in research to reduce building costs." The housing shortage cannot be mentioned without a discussion of rent control, Truman added. 'T know you will agree with me on the necessity of maintaining rent control in tnose area wnere there are still serious shortages and few vacancies," he said. Wheat Farmers Plan Record Crop Washington, March 21 hb Farmers ' plan .to sow a record wheat crop acreage this year and their planned " acreage for all crops is one per cent greater than the goal recommended by the government, . the agriculture de partment reported today. ' If farmers carry out these plans, and if growing conditions are good, prewar problems of farm surpluses will return with the harvest. Some major food and fiber crops would be greater than this country could consume or export in a year's time. On the basis of a survey of farmers' planting intentions, the department estimated total crop plantings at 361,000.000 acres. This would be about 1,600,000 acres less than lust year, but would be bigger than in any other peacetime year since 1937. The department said the small est . total acreage of . spring planted crops since the 1D37-39 period appears in prospect, but this is nearly offset by the record-high acreage of winter wheat sown last fall. to Prison for love America, are charged with conspiring in 194.5 to dissolve the communist political association and set up the present commu nist party of the United States to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of the government.

Fogerholm, form-' ed last year .after the Finnish communist party lost ground in parliamentary elections, was charged with pursuing a deliber ately worsening attitude toward Russia. Finland Observed "Finland is within the orbit of keen attention by Anglo-American imperialists, who are hoping to draw this country into a contem plated anti-soviet military bloc and trying to convert north Eu rope, including Finland, into a springboard for a new world war," Leningrad Pravda, said. In ;scoring.- Finland's alleged violations of the peace treaty and deterioration of consideration for Russia, the Leningrad party .or gan said: '' "The Finnish people must re alize that further consolidation of the state sovereignly acquired from tUe hands of Lenin and Stalin as a result of the October revolution is possible only by car rying out the democratic line in side the country, and, externally. by a policy 01 sincere inenasmp with the Soviet Union."
