Congress Passes Compromise Bill For Rent Control WASHINGTON, . March 29. (UP) Congress today passed and sent to the White House a com promise 15-month rent control extension bill which tenant spokesmen called too weak and landlords called too harsh. President Truman is expected to sign it before present ceilings lapse at midnight Thursday, al though it falls short of his re quest that controls be "strength ened" and continued for 24 months. The bill contains new provis ions designed to guarantee land lords a fair income from their property, and to permit states and cities to get out from under federal controls whenever they wish. The CIO, AFL and other ten ant representatives have charged that these "loopholes" weaken the bill. But the National Associa tion of Real Estate Boards as serted it will not give the land lords justice and warned Presi dent Truman that he may bring on a. depression if he signs it.

This one is on the University party's platform .... we will discuss the Student party planks in Friday's column, according to the present timetable. The first plank in the UP platform says the University party will strive for a recreation center for dormitory men. We un derstand that there is a possibility that the Vets' Clubhouse will be available for such a purpose sometime in the future. Plank number says the UP will work for the advancement of the Greater University Student council, the organization made up of delegates from here, WC and State. The University party next promises to "provide a better system of parking at the University and fight any measure that would restrict student cars." Plank four pledges the UP to "maintain the court system as it is today." Which means the bdys and girls in the UP camp are satisfied with the present appeal system and the way it works. . The UP says it will "demand" the grading of instructors by students, and pledges to "establish a Campus Chest with quarter ly solicitations." Which means that the campus .would no longer be bothered with a new drive for funds every time it turns around. The Campus Chest, as its name implies, would be modeled' after the national Community Chest, and would take in 'all the minor organizations which ordinarily would conduct their own private drives for funds. Plank seven says the UP will establish a planning commissiqn for a new student union, certainly a desperate need with today's large student body.

Veterans are also cautioned not to register for less than a. full scholastic load without approval of the Veterans training officer. Oath cator said- "I do" at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock this morning in answer to Vice-President Alben Barkley, who administered the oath of office. . The Senate convened at 11 o'clock. After the roll call, Sen. Clyde R. Hoey (D.-N.C.) obtain ed the floor. "Mr. President, Gov. Kerr Scott of North Carolina has designated Mr. Frank Porter Gra ham to take the place of the late. Sen. J. M. Broughton in the Sen ate." As Barkley read Governor Scott's appointment of Dr. Gra ham, the Governor listened from a seat on the Senate floor be side the University president. Senator Hoey took Dr. . Gra ham's arm, escorted him around the rear of the Senate hall, down the center aisle toward the Vice President, and around to Bark ley's left.. The Senator-designate climbed the few steps to the Vice President's desk and raised his right hand to receive the oath. Senator Graham made slow progress returning to his seat, as he grasped the out-stretched hands that lined his way back across the Democratic side of the Senate floor. As the new senator, Dr. Gra ham showed little change. In his office a short time after he was sworn in, he refused to let a student call him "Senator Gra ham," and laughingly insisted that "Dr. Frank," the name most University students know him by, was still fine. "Send the students all my love," Dr. Graham said. "And of course, tell them I'll never be very far away and that I'll al ways be thinking of them." Sen. John W. Bricker (R Ohio), who last Wednesday de manded a Congressional investi gation of Dr. Graham's clearance for access to atomic secrets by the Atomic Energy Commission, ig nored Senator Graham on the floor today. Bricker remarked this after noon that the Joint Congressional Atomic Energy committee ap parently was not going to make an investigation.

Webb, Sec retary of the Army Kenneth C. Royall, Editor Jonathan Daniels of the Raleigh News and Observ er, and U. S. Controller-General Lindsay Warren. Chancellor Robert B. House. Dean of Students Fred Weaver, and Assistant Dean of Students Bill Friday were present to head a delegation from the University at Chapel Hill, which included more than a score of students who had driven up to see their beloved President become the new Senator. Senator Hoey's office estimated that over 300 persons, the great majority of whom traveled to Washington from North Carolina for the ceremony, were given passes to the Senate galleries to watch the proceedings. Mrs. Frank Graham, much more nervous than her smiling, genial husband, sat in the senate gallery throughout the ceremony. Also looking on from a gallery seat was Hubert Robinson, Dr. Graham's Negro chauffeur from Chapel Hill. Senator Graham today occu pied Senate desk number 65 be side Senator Hoey one which belongs to Sen. Russell Long (D. La.).
