Congress May
Write Ban To
Halt Evictions
Landlords, Tenants
To Have Opportunity
For Giving Testimony
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3 —UP)—
Congress may write a ban against
mass eviction of tenants Into it*
new rent control bill. Chairman
Brent Spence (Democrat, Ken-
tucky i of tlie house banking com-
mittee said today.
Both landlords and tenants will
have plenty of chance to .testify,
he said, when the committee start*
hearings Monday on the adminis-
tration bill to extend rent controls
for two years.
Spence had this comment on a
movement by some Oklahoma land-
lords to withdraw their rental
property from thc market in pro-
test against controls:
"If this is intended to coerce
congressional committees, it might
have the opposite effect."
Measures Compared
Under present law. a tenant must
go to court to protect himself
against illegal eviction. But the
new bill authorizes federal housing
authority action against landlords
If necessary.
Spence said lie expects congress
to approve thc administration meas-
ure.
It would extend coverage to sev-
eral types of accomodations not
now under rent control and would
give the housing expediter authority
to recontrol areas previously de-
controlled.
Types Are Hpeclfied
These types of housing would be
brought back under control:
1. Hotel rooms not rented to
travelers.
2. Leased housing which lias had
15 percent rent Increases.
3. Accommodations not rented for
24 months. Such units are now ex-
empt.
The bill does not bring under
control newly constructed rental
property.
It would give the federal expediter
the right to sue for triple damages
for overcharges In rent if the ten-
ant did iiot do so. At present only
a tenant can sue. Tlie administra-
tion says few have exercised the
right “lor fear of being evicted."

Warming Today
Several States Still
Have Severe Cold
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Temperatures continued below
normal over virtually all of thc
country today but they were mod-
erating in the gulf and great
plains states.
There was more below - zero
weather In the Dakotas. Montana,
Minnesota und Wisconsin today,
but readings were not as low as
yesterday. The mercury touched
around minus 20 in some parts of
the cold belt and dropped to mi-
nus 23 at Grand Forks, N. D., for
one of the lowest marks. It also
was near and below zero In some
parts of northern New England.
Some wanning was_ reported In
southern states, butthere were
many sections reporting sub-
freezing temperatures. Southern
Florida continued having mild
weather with a high of 77 at Mi-
ami yesterday.
Oklahoma Has Rain
There were a few wet spots.
Rain fell in Texas and Oklahoma,
eastern Kansas had a freezing
drizzle, and light snow fell In
eastern Minnesota and northern
Wisconsin.
There also was some snow in
western Nevada, southern Idaho
and Oregon, while light rains fell
In northern California.
Embattled westerners dug into
the stifling snowbanks with re-
newed vigor today as threatening
storms dwindled without casting1
new woes on residents of the dis-
aster area.
Light snows fell in the Navajo
country of Arizona but flights
were expected to be resumed by
pilots carrying food and medical
supplies to tlie marooned Indians,
many of whom were suffering
from pneumonia and diphtheria.
Dangers Remain
High winds whipped up the
snow lying on tlie ground In west-
ern Nebraska last night but en-
gineers waging the battle of
“Operation Snowbound" said the
stiff breezes died before they
could reblock roads.
Nevertheless, westerners held no
illusions about the danger of new
storms.
They knew that a single blizzard
could wipe out within one hour
all the work they had done in the
past two weeks to reach isolated
farmhouses with food and fuel
for the families and feed for tlieir
5.500,000 head of starving, freez-
ing livestock.
