Importance of Rental Status
Is Stressed by Area Director
Checking the rent control status of rental property for
sale is fully as important as investigating its physical con
dition, Gordon L. 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.

officers twice a year in order to
give more students the opportunity
to develop leadership.
This is the last meeting of the
' current semester so there will be
a special program for the night.
Refreshments will be served at the
meeting at 7:30 p. m. in the Agri

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 Says Democrat Leaders
Use ‘Gag Rule’ Tactics in House
AP Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (TP)—Rep. 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!
Without them, we are unsure of the
future — frightened of present emer
gencies. Thrift Week, commemorat
ing the statesman’s birthday, is the
ideal time to put his sage words to
action! Resolve to Save Regularly!
