But the Senate generally back ed away from moves to tighten President Nixon’s approach to controlling inflation. The final version of the bill was passed 85 to 2 and sent to the House. The “no” votes were cast by Sens. Marlow Cook, R-Ky., and Mark Hatfield, R-Ore. Before approving the bill, sen ators rejected, 52 to 36, an amend ment to freeze wages, prices, rents and interest for six months. The rent-control amendment, sponsoi-ed by Sen. Clifford Case, R-N.J., would apply to low and moderate rental housing in some 60 metropolitan areas, rolling back rent hikes to early January when Phase 2 ended. Luxury housing would be ex cluded, leaving poshness to be defined by the Cost of Living Council. For rents to be controlled, there would have to be a vacancy rate of 5.5 per cent or less. Exactly which metropolitan areas would fall under the con trols is uncertain and remains to be determined by the Cost of Living Council if the bill is en acted into law. The controls would allow an annual hike of 2.5 per cent with the landlord being able to pass along only his increased costs for maintenance and services. The rent step amounted to con gressional intervention in the way the President thinks the economy should be controlled to combat inflation. In other actions, the Senate: —Rejected 82 to 9 an amend ment of Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., aimed at halting presiden tial impoundment of freezing of money appropriated by Congi-ess. —Rejected, 82 to 9, an amend ment to freeze the prices of raw farm products at March 1 levels.

Directorate members have been preparing for the banquet for a month. “Everybody pitches in,” said Karl Friedl, one of the in coming vice-presidential assist ants. “It’s a full effort.” The Land of Oz theme chosen for this year’s bash was suggest ed by Joe Arredondo, the execu tive vice-president of the commit tees. Other theme suggestions in cluded Space Odyssey: 2001, Fan tasy Under The Sea, Carnal Knowledge, and Down The River Styx featuring a banquet in Hades. To research the Oz project, Ar redondo and his colleagues comb ed the library for references and attended a matinee showing of “The Wizard of Oz” at the Bryan Palace Theatre, much to the tui’- prise of the ticket cashier. “I’m sorry, young man, but ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ doesn’t start until 5:30.” “But we want to see ‘The Wiz ard of Oz’,” repeated Joe. Among the 16 new VPAs will be one Tin Man, a Scarecrow, a Cowardly Lion, and a Dorothy. The rest will be dressed up as the colorful Munchkins of Munchkin- land. The banquet menu will include roast beef, shrimp roulade and beef stroganoff. “What you’ll end up doing is making your own Emerald City on your plate,” said Arredondo. “We’re also going to have a choice of five salads and have pickled everything from kumquats to miniature corn.” The New Tradition Singers will entertain after the banquet. They will be followed by the introduc tion of the honored guests, the new officers, and finally the award-giving, leading up to the presentation of the Rountree Award. This is given to the sen ior who has contributed most to the MSC. “What we’re really accomplish ing by this affair is letting out the old blood and bringing in the new,” said Arredondo. “For our banquet three years ago we fea tured the Roaring 20s. We ate in the 23 Skidoo Club and served punch from a four-legged bath tub.” Other themes in recent years have been “Camelot” and “Gyp sies, Tramps and Thieves.” MSC Head To Speak J.
