Miss Mary E. Rueff wrote to Senator George B. Schwabe expressing concern over her landlord increasing her rent by 20% since the veto of the OPA. She requested government rental control until the housing shortage is resolved. Senator Schwabe responded, explaining that Congress passed a bill to maintain rent controls, but it was vetoed by the President. He expressed concern about the difficulties of discarding a planned economy and assured Miss Rueff that he is monitoring the situation closely.
