T With malicious delight they have

Housing Control
Decision Praised
Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods hailed today’s unanimous
decision by the United States Su
preme Court upholding the consti
tutionality of the Housing and
Rent Act of 1947.
At this time when the Copgress
has under consideration the exten
sion of rent controls beyond the
present expiration date of Febru
ary 29, 1948, it removes any doubt
about the authority of Congress to
regulate rents, Mr. Woods said.
The Court ruled in the cdse of
Woods versus Miller Company, up
holding the Housing Expediter and
reversing the decision of Federal
Judge Paul Jones of the Northern
District of Ohio. Judge Jopes had
ruled the Rent Act uncbnsitijtional
because he contended the Presiden
tial proclamation terminating: hos
tilities on December 31, 1946, in-)
aueurated “peace-inffact.” >
The Housing Expediter said that
his office will see that the jaw is;
enforced to the full extent of his
authority. . f;
“I was particularly impressed,”
Mr. Woods said, “by that part of
the Court’s decision saying that

The last survey completed in

that there are now almost 600
