Senate Takes ‘Cool
ing’ Off Period On
Rent Control
WASHINGTON, </P) — Both
in the explosive Senate dispute
Over extending rent controls be
gan a “cooling off” period Satur
day.
It will end February 16, a week
from today. Chairman Tobey (R.
N. H.) will call the divided Senate
banking committee together then
to write a bill.
That will be just 13 days before
the present rent control act ends.
This law covers some 40,000,000
tenants.
The delay gives the committee
ten days to think over proposals
to have the extension bill permit
automatic rent increases and au
tomatic lifting of all ceilings in
some communities.
These suggestions by a sub
committee provoked a sharp split
in the 13 member banking group
Friday. After a two-hour closed
session, no agreement was report
ed on any portion of the sub-com
mittee bill.
If a deadlock persits, Tobey
said, he will ask a 30 or 60 day
stopgap extension of the present

Situation In
Manchuria Very
Bad For Chinese

(By Sponcor Moom)
PEIPING, <A*)—A steady wor
sening of the Chinese govern
’ ment’s military position in Man
churia was reported in pro-Na
tionalist dispatches Saturday.
These communist successes were
acknowledged:
Capture of Liaoyang, important
railway city 35 miles south of the
big Manchurian city of Mukden;
Infilrtation of Yingkow, the
best government port in Manchur
ia, and:
Complete isolation of the gov
ernment-held steel city of Anshan,
15 miles south of Liaoyang on the
Mukden-Dairen railway.
The noose around Mukden pro
per was tightened with increas
ingly heavy attacks on Suchiatun,
only seven miles away. The dis
patches said prices in Mukden
were roughly five times those in
Shanghai, where inflation has sent
them to almost prohibitive
heights.
In Anshan, many deaths were
reported from shortages of food
and fuel. Power lines there were
cut.
Finds Fortune;
Loses Job, Health
PHILADELPHIA, (A*) — Benja
min Lieberman is willing to for
get all about the $92,800 treasure
found in his cellar—provided he
j is paid a fee.
The former —75-a-week book
keeper says he lost his health and
his job worrying about the hoard.
So Friday he relinquished claim
to the cash.
His only condition is that the
State of Pennsylvania give him
the usual 25 per cent informers’
fee if it wins the treasure through
escheatment proceedings.
This the commonwealth agreed
to do. Common pleas court which
is hearing claims put off a ruling
on the rightful owner until later
this month.
Lieberman told police he stum
bled on the treasure 11 months
ago while hunting a light bulb and
did not know how it got in the
cellar of his home.
But Mrs. Anna Theresa Hillop,
widow of a gangster slain in New
Jersey, told the court the cash
was hidden in a secret trap door
by her slain ex-convict husband
16 years ago.
She declared the $82,800 right
fully was hers.
