The encyclical ran 1,200 words and was entitled "Optissima Pax (Most Desired Peace)." It was the fourth important en cyclical since the pope's sorona tion in March, 1939. He Issued a similar encyclical In October 1946. He besought the f ervant pray ers to uod" of the faithful be cause of the "miserable spectacle' of the world. "Peace is still oscillating and uncertain and as all can note with sorrow and trepidation keeps sus pended in anguish the souls of peoples while in not a few na tions already devastated by the fWorld conflict and by the ruins and miseries which are its sorrowful sorrow-ful consequence social classes agitated by bitter hatred and with numerous disorders and troubles threaten as all can see to over-; throw and batter Sway the very foundations of states," he said. The pope's encyclical was re garded by observers as a direct answer to the disorder and agita tion in Italy and France and . the world pessimism brought on by the failure of the big four foreign ministers conference.

This was one of the top items on the 10-pomt anti-innauon program which Mr. Truman out lined to the special session. "We'll have a rent control bill early." Wolcott said. "It prob ably will be similar to the present law but there undoubtedly will be some modification." One of the biggest problems to worked out is what adjustment to make between tenants who agreed to the voluntary IS per cent rent hike provided by the last extension bill and those who did not. Congressional sources said that if congress decided landlords need further rent increases,. they could be set up on a sliding scale that would give the biggest boosts to landlords whose tenants did not agree to a previous rent in crease.
