Decision On KF May Be Made Soon Th city f Klamath Palls, tww preparing t determine the ad v li ability f de-eontrelllng rent a, may . be beaten t the punch by th fed era hoawlnff expediter. It waa learned officially today that Housing Cxpedller Tifhe Woods la faced with two at tern- , alive, after a terrific cut In hi olfleea budget either fbr one- third ef hte employes r decontrol a third ef th areas under federal rent control. Woods announced In Washington that he had chosen the latter course. The lists for decontrol are now being prepared in Washington and will be announced In a day or two. Woods Indicated. He explained that de-control would become effective upon th ' announcement. The rent ceiling would be lifted In one-third of- th 1000 counties still under control. KF On List In the meantime, Oeneva Hitaon Klamath Palls rent legal examiner, said today that the San Francisco regional rent office and the Port land zone offlc had already recommended to Wood to de control Klamath Falls. Mhe added that the local area rent office and Mayor Robert A. Thompson . expected . an . anawer "within a few days." If rent are de -con trolled direct ly through the office of the rent expediter, the city or th rent ad visory board can recommend at any time the re-establishing of controls If 11 la deemed necessary, Mlsa Hltson explained. I -con trolling of rent ceilings through the rent expediter a. method Mayor Thompson Iodic ted be favored at this week'a council ataain waa hooted down by real tor and house-owners wb felt the government would delay action to long and -that "Klamath Fall should stand an it m feet."

A wire dispatch from Cleveland where Woods released the rent an nouncement quoted him as saying that "I do not think any com munities over 100.000 will be af fected. The cut will be country wide, not concentrated in any one particular section." Woods aaid that hia budget for Ihe fiscal year waa slashed front S2 million I $21 million by th senate and recently cut further bv the conference committees of both basse to $17.500. SO. It was this deep appropriations slash that caused Woods to choose decontrol as the answer to staying within the budget Shankhai AP Chief Licked In SHANGHAI. Aug. 17 tjP Fred Hampson.
