Supreme Court Says Local Option Rent Law Invalid Washington.—The constitutional ity of the 1049 federal rent control law was sustained by the Supreme Court recently in a brief order re versing the decision of a lower court. The ruling, unanimous and with Justice William O. Douglas not participating, upset a decision by Judge Elwyn R. Shaw in the Chicago Federal District Court. Judge *Shaw had held the law in valid because a “local option” clause allowed states or cities to end or establish their own rent controls. Judge Shaw construed this as an unconstitutional delegation of pow er by Congress. He found that it would not have passed the 1949 statute without this “local option" section, and consequently he held the whole act invalid. The Chicago case arose when the Housing Expediter sued to stop Shoreline Co-o p e r a t i v e Apart ments, Inc., of that city from evict ing tenants of a co-operatively owned apartment house. Under the law, tenants of a co-operative house cannot be ejected unless 65 per cent of them are stockholders. The expediter said that not that many lived in the building.

N«w York Correspondent for AFL New* Service. New York.—Federal, state and local governments “should con sider serioasly what can be done to further the arts in our country.” Tile proposal is made by Secretary of Labor Maurie J. Tobin in an exclusive article for the current “Alegro," monthly publication of Local 802, American Federation of Musicians. “As a first step," he writes, “it might be advisable for leading groups in our midst to appoint a commission of outstanding citizens, specialists in the various arts, to examine the state of the arts in the United States and to make recommendations, after detailed study, to those in positions of influence and authority. “In an investigation of this kind, I should like to see the status of the musicians, as a creative being, thoroughly studied. I know that organised labor, which would, of course, be represented on such a commission, would thoroughly support such a project. ’ The cabinet member declared that there is “insufficient encourage ment given in our country to the development of our musical Heritage." that musical talent in America “has little opportunity for creative employment” and that each year “potentially fine tal ents among our young men and women are driven away and discouraged.” “It seems to me that as a country we should devote more of our resources to maturing our human resources, not only physically l,ut also spiritually and culturally. I think that we must in coming years seek out the Ulented youngster*—the potentially good artists, whether with pallet or piano, with chisel or camera—and encourage them, help them so that our country can materially contribute even more richly to the cultural growth of the democratic world." merit of Justice said that about 14, 000,000 housing accommodations remained under rent control in the country. Tighe E. Woods, Federal Hous ing Expediter, was elated by the Supreme Court action. “Under its opinion, the court in effect rules that the housing short age growing out of the war still exists,” he said. Mr. Woods upheld a ban on rent increases in the Chicago area. The Cook County Rent Advisory Board reported it had found that no general increase in maximum rents should take place now, and the Federal Housing Expediter said that the finding "is supported by adeuate and substantial evi dence.” State of North Carolina, County of Mecklenburg.
