President May Name Body
To Investigate Excessive
Rentals Here.

The appointment by the President
of three commissioners to adjust
rental difficulties between landlord
and tenant and prevent profiteering
may be looked for at any moment,
according to reliable information.
There are several hundred names of
residents and non-residents before the
President from which. to make the
?elections.
The report was current at the
Capitol yesterday that certain local
real estate operators are secretly
bringing pressure to bear on* the
White House for the appointment of
their friends to at least two of the
rent commisslonershipa. . I
"Such appointments would defeat
the very purpose of the commission
at the beginning." a Congressman
said fast night. "The President
should see that the people?the ten
ants?are fairly represented 011 the
board. The men selected should be
open minded, fair and square and
capable of handling the vexed situa
tion equitably for both sides. No man
who is directly or Indirectly interested
in the real estate business should be
considered for a moment."
