Benningfield, area rent director, advised prospective buyers this week. By their failure to check the registration state ment on file in the rent office,+• several buyers have made poor' bargains instead of good invest ments, the rent director said. In all such eases, he added, the buyer did not have the basic facts about the property under rent control. In some cases buyers understood that the property was not under rent control or that the rent ceil ings were considerably higher than they were in fact. In other cases, sellers quoted correct ceiling rents but buyers did not understand that such rents included heat, utilities, and other services. In still other cases, buy ers learned too late that the hous ing accommodations were under lease. Benningfield advised every per son considering the purchase of rental housing to call the rent, office at; Room 306 Varisco Build ing in Bryan, telephone 2-1207, for the answers to the following questions: Is the property under rent con trol ? If so, is it properly register ed with the area rent office ? What is the rent ceiling? What services must be provided by the landlord? Is part or all of the property un der lease to present occupants? By assuring himself on those items, the prospective buyer of rental housing will be better able to judge the merits of his pro posed investment, Benningfield concluded.

Project for Study of Geologic Structures Authorized at A&M A study of geologic structures by the use of replicas has been authorized as a joint project of the A&M Geology De partment and the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, according to S. A. Lynch, head of the Geology Department. A&M has been chosen to carry out the research phase of this project in spite of the fact* that many other schools were at tempting to obtain it, and the work will be done on the A&M campus. The project will be carried out under the direction of Professor Lynch and Associate Professors T. J. Parker and A. N. McDowell. Two Houston men, Dr. L. L. Nettle- ton and Dr. M. King Hubbert, are serving as consultants. Dr. Nettleton was a research geophysicist associated with the Gulf Research Development Com pany, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for approximately twelve years. In this capacity he directed a number of scale models and their relationship to known earth structures. A number of oil companies have done some work in this field of investigation, and Dr. M. King Hubbert, director of Geologic Re search of the Shell Oil Company, is a leader in company investiga tions. The project will investigate salt dojne structures, mechanics of de- positional basins, mechanics of folded structures, and mechanics of fault structures. The method is to develop by mechanical means scale replicas of geologic structures. These re plicas would then be analyzed, using the fundamental principles of model study, including the quantitative relations bet\v r een the various ratios of size, strength, viscosity between the model and the prototype in na ture which it was intended to represent. No previous work has been done in this field on so large a scale as this project, Lynch said. The many phases of the project will require several years of work. Initial research will be on only a portion of this highly complex problem, Lynch said, and this will require a period of at least two and one-half years. Emphasizing the complex na ture of the project, Professor Lynch stated that he, Parker, and McDowell spent an entire day with Dr. M. King Hubbert, wox-king out equations showing relationships b e tween known earth properties and models. Beginning next semester, Asso ciate Professors McDowell and Parker will begin teaching on a half-time basis mainder of search project.

Poage (D-Tex) said today that the House, in adopting a change in rules designed to stop “gag rule” tactics, used the self same strategy to get the changes put across. The Texan expressed this view in explaining his own fposition during voting Monday when procedures were changed so that legislation could be brought on to the floor for a vote after being bottled up for three weeks by the rules committee. The rules committee acts as a sort of “traffic cop” for measures reported by committees which have held lengthy hearings on the leg islation, declaring when they can go to the House for a vote. On what was interpreted as a key vote on the issue, the admin istration won out by a margin of 275 to 142. Poage was among the minority. “There has been a great deal of misunderstanding about that vote,” Poage told a reporter. “It actually was not a vote on whether we were to change the rules. It was a vote on whether we should apply gag rule tactics to those people who opposed chang ing the rules. “As a matter of fact, I was in favor of changing the rules. I don’t believe the rules committee should he allowed to continue its practice of previous years, of de nying the House a chance to vote on a measure which has been re ported favorably by some other committee. “I voted in a caucus of the Dem ocratic members to change the rules. “I also voted in the House to change the rules, when that very question was up for a vote. The change was adopted on a voice vote. “It was taken after the House by a 275 to 142 record vote adopt ed a motion to act on the pre vious question. This was a par liamentary procedure to stop all discussions and debate and amendments to the proposal to change the rules. “The majority of the House thus used the identical tactics to pass the amendment to the rules of the House, that the changes are intend ed to prevent.” Benjamin Franklin wisely said, “It is hard for an empty sack to stand upright.” Yes, savings give strength!
