The courts ruling came in less than a week after oral arguments were, heard. THE LAW was enacted last summer by congress and is due to expire June 30, 1950. It had lost in its first federal court test when a U.S. district judge declared it unconstitutional because it delegated powers of congress to the states and local governing bodies. Tighe Wood and the justice deintermediate partment courts and appealed the finding directly to the high court. While there had been no general statements to the effect, there was a that widespread impression many states and local areas had withheld decontrol action because of the pending suit. IN ONE INSTANCE, a Kentucky county area had restored rent curbs after lifting them had resulted in what was termed "unrent increases. reasonable However short private building had fallen of its goals, there was no argument that the housing shortage had eased somewhat and it appeared that congress might find it relatively easy to abandon all rent curbs when the present "home rule act expires. But in view of what had happened in some isolated areas in rental charges, congress might leave the way open for restoration of controls wherever landlords displayed a tendency to gouge tenants.

Until that time, no U.S. taxpayer would know just what the administration had in mind concerning taxes. Everyone knew that the President had publicly stated he would need some 12 billion dollars more in revenue if the budget were to be balanced, but everyone knew, too, that there were many senators and representatives who would not go along with any such proposal. It could also be regarded as significant or not that there had been no recent declaration from the President concerning taxation or any need for tax increase. WHETHER THAT MEANT the' President was prepared to recede from his original tax proposals was purely a matter of speculation,1 but such a course was probable, inasmuch as some of the Presidents cabinet members had been, saying publicly that a reduction in taxes, or holding them at the pres- -' ent federal level would be good for U.S. business and the nations econ--om- Butterflies, Beetles, Cyanide Make a 'Surprise' Vengeance By BILLY J never yet have walked alone dark hours of despair. Through And always He has kept His word: The promised Strength was there. I ROSE When Martin Quint, 71, married Ellie Reynolds, 34, their friends in Nyack didn't give the union much chance of success. Five years later, however, they were ready to admit they had been wrong Ellie was doing a good job of taking care of Martin, and as for the old coot well, he was a lot friendlier than anyone had ever thought possible. On their fifth anniversary, Martin sent Ellie to New York on an errand, filled the parlor with gifts and paper curlicues, and invited a dozen neighbors in for a surprise party. The plan was for a lookout at the railroad depot to phone when he saw Ellie get off the train, and then they would turn out the lights and hide. When Ellie walked in and turned them on v young man as long as Im things that are too hard to bear God does not bid me bear. alive. And so today, my heart, be Still, He knows that you are torn.
