Text o
f compact.
" A N INTERSTATE COMPACT TO CONSERVE OIL AND GAS
((
ARTICLE I
"This agreement may become effective within any compacting state
at any time as prescribed by that state, and shall become effective
within those states ratifying it whenever any three of the states of
Texas, Oklahoma, California, Kansas, and NeAv Mexico have ratified
and Congress has given its consent. Any oil-producing state may
become a party hereto as hereinafter provided.
"ARTICLE II
"The purpose of this compact is to conserve oil and gas by the
prevention of physical waste thereof from any cause.
"ARTICLE III
"Each state bound hereby agrees that within a reasonable time it
will enact laws, or if laws have been enacted, then it agrees to continue
the same in force, to accomplish within reasonable limits the preven-
tion of:
"(a) The operation of any oil well with an inefficient gas-oil
ratio.
"(b) The drowning with water of any stratum capable of
producing oil or gas, or both oil and gas, in paying quantities.
"(c) The avoidable escape into the open air or the wasteful
burning of gas from a natural gas well.
"(d) The creation of unnecessary fire hazards.
"(e) The drilling, equipping, locating, spacing or operating
of a well or wells so as to bring about physical waste of oil or
gas or loss in the ultimate recovery thereof.
"(f) The inefficient, excessive or improper use of the reservoir
energy in producing any well.
"The enumeration of the foregoing subjects shall not limit the scope
of the authority of any state.
u ARTICLE IV
"Each state bound hereby agrees that it will, within a reasonable
time, enact statutes, or if such statutes have been enacted then that it
2 0 2

in violation of its valid oil and/or gas conservation statutes or any
valid rule, order or regulation promulgated thereunder, shall be denied
access to commerce; and providing for stringent penalties for the
waste of either oil or gas.
"ARTICLE V
"It is not the purpose of this compact to authorize the states joining
herein to limit the production of oil or gas for the purpose of stabiliz-
ing or fixing the price thereof, or create or perpetuate monopoly, or
to promote regimentation, but is limited to the purpose of conserving
oil and ^as and preventing the avoidable waste thereof within reason-
able limitations.
"ARTICLE VI
"Each State joining herein shall appoint one representative to a
commission hereby constituted and designated as the Interstate Oil
Compact Commission, the duty of which said commission shall be to
make inquiry and ascertain from time to time such methods, practices,
circumstances and conditions as may be disclosed for bringing about
conservation and the prevention of physical waste of oil and gas, and
at such intervals as said commission deems beneficial it shall report
its findings and recommendations to the several States for adoption
or rejection.
"The Commission shall have power to recommend the coordination
of the exercise of the police powers of the several states within their
several jurisdictions to promote the maximum ultimate recovery from
the petroleum reserves of said states, and to recommend measures for
the maximum ultimate recovery of oil and gas. Said Commission
shall organize and adopt suitable rules and regulations for the conduct
of its business.
"No action shall be taken by the Commission except: (1) by the
affirmative votes of the majority of the whole number of the compact-
ing States represented at any meeting, and (2) by a concurring vote
of a majority in interest of the compacting States at said meeting,
such interest to be determined as follows: such vote of each State
shall be in the decimal proportion fixed by the ratio of its daily aver-
age production during the preceding calendar half-year to the daily
average production of the compacting States during said period.
u
ARTICLE VII
"No State by joining herein shall become financially obligated to
any other State, nor shall the breach of the terms hereof by any State
subject such State to financial responsibility to the other States join-
ing herein.
"ARTICLE VIII
"This compact shall expire September 1, 1937. But any State join-
ing herein, may upon sixty (60) days notice, withdraw herefrom.
"The representatives of the signatory States have signed this agree-
ment in a single original which shall be deposited in the archives of
the Department of State of the United States, and a duly certified
copy shall be forwarded to the Governor of each of the signatory
States.
"This compact shall become effective when ratified and approved as
provided in Article I. Any oil-producing State may become a party
hereto by affixing its signature to a counterpart to be similarly depos-
ited, certified, and ratified."

cation by such dependents, may be moved (including packing and
unpacking of household effects), upon receipt by such dependents of
such official report, to such location as may be determined in advance
or subsequently approved by the head of the department concerned or
by such persons as he may designate. The cost of such transportation,
including packing and unpacking of household effects, shall be charged
against appropriations currently available. In lieu of transportation
authorized by this section for dependents, the head of the department
concerned may authorize the payment in money of amounts equal to
such commercial transportation costs for the whole or such part of

travel shall have been completed. When the person is in an 'injured'
status, the movement of dependents or household and personal effects
provided for herein may be authorized only in cases where the antici-
pated period of hospitalization or treatment will be of prolonged
duration. No transportation shall be authorized pursuant to this sec-
tion unless a reasonable relationship exists between the condition and
circumstances of the dependents and the destination to which trans-
portation is requested. Beginning June 25,1950, and for the purposes
of this section only, the terms 'household and personal effects' and
'household effects' may include, in addition to other authorized weight

the same in force, to accomplish within reasonable limits the preven-
tion of:
"(a) The operation of any oil well with an inefficient gas-oil
ratio.

producing oil or gas, or both oil and gas, in paying quantities.
"(c) The avoidable escape into the open air or the wasteful
burning of gas from a natural gas well.

valid rule, order or regulation promulgated thereunder, shall be denied
access to commerce; and providing for stringent penalties for the
waste of either oil or gas.
"ARTICLE V
"It is not the purpose of this compact to authorize the states joining
herein to limit the production of oil or gas for the purpose of stabiliz-
ing or fixing the price thereof, or create or perpetuate monopoly, or
to promote regimentation, but is limited to the purpose of conserving
oil and ^as and preventing the avoidable waste thereof within reason-
able limitations.
"ARTICLE VI
"Each State joining herein shall appoint one representative to a
commission hereby constituted and designated as the Interstate Oil
Compact Commission, the duty of which said commission shall be to
make inquiry and ascertain from time to time such methods, practices,
circumstances and conditions as may be disclosed for bringing about
conservation and the prevention of physical waste of oil and gas, and
at such intervals as said commission deems beneficial it shall report
its findings and recommendations to the several States for adoption
or rejection.
"The Commission shall have power to recommend the coordination
of the exercise of the police powers of the several states within their
several jurisdictions to promote the maximum ultimate recovery from
the petroleum reserves of said states, and to recommend measures for
the maximum ultimate recovery of oil and gas. Said Commission
shall organize and adopt suitable rules and regulations for the conduct
of its business.
"No action shall be taken by the Commission except: (1) by the
affirmative votes of the majority of the whole number of the compact-
ing States represented at any meeting, and (2) by a concurring vote
of a majority in interest of the compacting States at said meeting,
such interest to be determined as follows: such vote of each State
shall be in the decimal proportion fixed by the ratio of its daily aver-
age production during the preceding calendar half-year to the daily
average production of the compacting States during said period.
u
ARTICLE VII
"No State by joining herein shall become financially obligated to
any other State, nor shall the breach of the terms hereof by any State
subject such State to financial responsibility to the other States join-
ing herein.
"ARTICLE VIII
"This compact shall expire September 1, 1937. But any State join-
ing herein, may upon sixty (60) days notice, withdraw herefrom.
"The representatives of the signatory States have signed this agree-
ment in a single original which shall be deposited in the archives of
the Department of State of the United States, and a duly certified
copy shall be forwarded to the Governor of each of the signatory
States.
"This compact shall become effective when ratified and approved as
provided in Article I. Any oil-producing State may become a party
hereto by affixing its signature to a counterpart to be similarly depos-
ited, certified, and ratified."

by negotiation unless, because of reasonable doubt as to the identity
of the owner or owners, because of the large number of persons with
whom it would be necessary to negotiate, or for other reasons, the
effort to acquire by negotiation would involve, in the judgment of
the President, such delay in acquiring the property as to be contrary
to the interest of national defense.
In any condemnation proceeding
instituted pursuant to this section, the court shall not order the party
in possession to surrender possession in advance of final judgment

ments to purchase metals, minerals, and other materials, for Govern-
ment use or resale; and (2) for the encouragement of exploration,
development, and mining of critical and strategic minerals and
metals: Provided^ however^ That purchases for resale under this sub-
section shall not include that part of the supply of an agricultural
commodity which is domestically produced except insofar as such
domestically produced supply may be purchased for resale for indus-
trial uses or stockpiling, and no commodity purchased under this sub-
section shall be sold at less than the established ceiling price for such
commodity (except that minerals and metals shall not be sold at less
than the established ceiling price, or the current domestic market
price, whichever is lower), or, if no ceiling price has been established,
the higher of the following: (i) the current domestic market price
for such commodity, or (ii) the minimum sale price established for
agricultural commodities owned or controlled by the Commodity
Credit Corporation as provided in section 407 of Public Law 439,
Eighty-first Congress: Provided further^ however^ That no purchase
or commitment to purchase any imported agricultural commodity
shall be made calling for delivery more than one year after the
expiration of this Act.
(b) Subject to the limitations in subsection (a), purchases and
commitments to purchase and sales .under such subsection may be
made without regard to the limitations of existing law, for such quan-
tities, and on such terms and conditions, including advance payments,
and for such periods, but not extending beyond June 30, 1962, as the
President deems necessary, except that purchases or commitments to
purchase involving higher than established ceiling prices (or if there
be no established ceiling prices, currently prevailing market prices)
or anticipated loss on resale sliall not be made unless it is determined
that supply of the materials could not be effectively increased at lower
prices or on terms more favorable to the Government, or that such
purchases are necessary to assure the availability to the United States
of overseas supplies.
"(c) If the President finds—
"(1) that under generally fair and equitable ceiling prices for
any raw or nonprocessed material, there will result a decrease in
supplies from high-cost sources of such material, and that the
continuation of such supplies is necessary to carry out the ob-
jectives of the Act; or
"(2) that an increase in cost of transportation is temporary in
character and threatens to impair maximum production or supply
in any area at stable prices of any materials,

tion shall include the power to transport and store and have processed

the extent of the probable ultimate net cost to the United States under
Report to Congress, such transaction; and the President shall submit a report to the Con-

tural commodity) or service which (1) is based upon the highest price

price reflects adjustments for increases or decreases in costs occurring
subsequent to the date on which such highest price was received and
prior to July 26, 1951, or (2) is established under a regulation issued
prior to the enactment of this paragraph.
Upon application and a

tomary margins of all other classes of persons concerned in the pro-
duction and distribution of the excepted item of material.

SEC. 203. Section 204 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"(k) The President shall by i-egulation or order establish such
maximum rent or maximum rents as in his judgment will be fair and
equitable for controlled housing accommodations (as defined in section
202 (c)) (1) in any State which by law declares that there exists such
a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such State, or (2) in any incorporated city, town,
village, or in the unincorporated area of any county (other than a
city, town, village, or unincorporated area of any county within a
State which is controlling rents) upon receipt of a resolution of its
governing body adopted for that purpose in accordance with applicable
local law and based upon a finding by such governing body, reached as
a result of a public hearing held after ten days' notice, that there exists
such a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such city, town, village, or unincorporated area in such
county.
In establishing any maximum rent for any housing accom-
modations under this subsection the President shall give due consid-
eration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommodations or
comparable housing accommodations during the period from May
24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for such
relevant factors as he shall deem to be of general applicability in
respect to such accommodations, including increases or decreases in
property taxes and other costs within such State, incorporated city,
town, or village, or unincorporated area.
" (1) Whenever the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Defense
Mobilization, acting jointly, shall determine and certify to the Presi-
dent that any area (whether then or ever controlled or decontrolled
under this Act) is a critical defense housing area, the President shall
by regulation or order establish such maximum rent or maximum rents
for any housing accommodations, not then subject to rent control, in
such area or portion thereof as in his judgment will be fair and equi-
table.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 202 (c) the term
'controlled housing accommodations' as applied to any such critical
defense housing area shall include all housing accommodations in the
area, without exception. In establishing any maximum rent for any
housing accommodations under this subsection, the President shall give
due consideration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommoda-
tions or comparable housing accommodations during the period from
May 24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for
such relevant factors as he shall determine and deem to be of general
applicability in respect to such accommodations, including increases or
decreases in property taxes and other costs within such area. Maxi-
mum rents in any critical defense housing area shall be terminated at

Director of Defense Mobilization, acting jointly.
No area shall be
certified as a critical defense housing area under the authority granted
in this subsection unless all the following conditions exist in such
area:
"(1) a new defense plant or installation has been or is to be pro-
vided, or an existing defense plant or installation has been or is to
be reactivated or its operation substantially expanded;
"(2) substantial in-migration of defense workers or military per-
sonnel is required to carry out activities at such plant or installation;
and
"(3) a substantial shortage of housing required for such defense
workers or militaiy personnel exists or impends which has resulted
or threatens to result in excessive rent increases and which impedes
or threatens to impede activities of such defense plant or installation.
"(m) Whenever an area has been certified under subsection (1)
to be a critical defense housing area, real-estate construction credit
controls imposed under title VI of the Defense Production Act of 1950
shall be relaxed to the extent necessary to encourage construction of
housing for defense workers and military personnel: Provided^ That
the certification, pursuant to subsection (1), that an area is a critical
defense housing area shall not be effective in such area for any of
the purposes of this section until such real-estate construction credit
controls have been relaxed as provided in this subsection to the extent
necessary in the determination of the President. The fact that any
area has been certified as a critical defense housing area under sub-
section (1) shall not make such area ineligible for the location of
additional defense plants, facilities, or installations, or as a source
of additional military procurement of any sort.
"(n) No maximum rents shall be established under subsection (1)
for housing accommodations in any State where rent control is in
effect or in any locality where local rent control is in effect, unless
the rent component of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for such State or locality has increased more than the
United States average of the rent component of such index during
the last six months for which such index is available immediately
preceding the establishment of such maximum rents.
The rent com-
ponent of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
for any State shall be the average, weighted by population as deter-
mined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all reported cities in the
State, except that, where only one city is reported, the rent com-
ponent for the State shall be the rent component for that city.
Upon
the establishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for
housing accommodations in a State in which State rent control is in
effect. State rent control shall thereupon terminate.
Upon the estab-
lishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for housing
accommodations in a locality in which local rent control is in effect,
local rent control shall thereupon terminate.
The rent component
for any locality subject to local rent control shall be the rent com-
ponent as established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for that
locality.
Where data concerning rents have not been heretofore
collected for a city in a State having State rent control or for a par-
ticular locality which has local rent control, the President may cause
a survey to be made by the Bureau of I^abor Statistics for the purpose
of establishing a rent component for that State or locality.
For the
purposes of this subsection, State rent control shall be deemed in
effect in any State in which maximum rents are controlled pursuant
to State law throughout the State, regardless of whether maximum
rents are actually in effect in every locality of the State.
"(o) In order to compensate for increases which have occurred
in costs and prices, the maximum rent in effect on the date of enact-
65 STAT.1
PUBLIC LAW 96—JULY 31. 1951
147
ment of this subsection for any housing accommodation shall, upon
sworn application, be increased to 120 per centum of the following:
The maximum rent for the housing accommodation in effect on
June 30,1947 (or if no maximum rent was then in effect for the hous-
ing accommodation, the maximum rent then in effect for comparable
housing accommodations), plus the amount of any increase allowed
or allowable under this Act for major capital improvements or for
increases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equipment,
and minus any decrease required or requirable under this Act for
decreases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equip-
ment, or for substantial deterioration or failure to perform ordinary
repair, replacement, or maintenance.
Any increase in a maximum
rent applied for under this subsection which is based upon the maxi-
mum rent in effect on June 30,1947, for the particular housing accom-
modation and upon increases and decreases actually allowed under
this Act shall be effective upon the filing of the application. Nothing
in this subsection shall require the reduction of any maximum rent,
nor prevent such additional adjustment for increases in costs and
prices as the President may deem appropriate."
SEC. 204. Section 205 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended^ is amended to read as follows:
"SEC. 205. (a) Any person who demands, accepts, receives, or retains
any payment of rent in excess of the maximum rent prescribed under
the provisions of this Act, or any regulation, order, or requirement
thereunder, shall be liable to the person from whom such payment is
demanded, accepted, received, or retained (or shall be liable to the
United States as hereinafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees
and costs as determined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the
amounts of (1) $50, or (2) not more than three times the amount by
which the payment or payments demanded, accepted, received, or
retained exceed the maximum rent which could lawfully be demanded,
accepted, received, or retained, as the court in its discretion may
determine, whichever in either case may be the greater amount: Pro-
vided^ That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount
of the overcharge or overcharges if the defendant proves that the vio-
lation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take practicable
precautions against the occurrence of the violation.
"(b) Any person who unlawfully evicts a tenant shall be liable to
the person so evicted (or shall be liable to the United States as here-
inafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees and costs as deter-
mined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the amounts of (1)
one month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, or (2) not more than
three times such monthly rent, or $150, whichever is greater: Provided^
That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount of one
month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, if the defendant proves that
the violation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take
practicable precautions against the occurrence of the violation.
"(c) Suit to recover liquidated damages as provided in this section
may be brought in any Federal court of competent jurisdiction regard-
less of the amount involved, or in any State or Territorial court of
competent jurisdiction, within one year after the date of violation:
Provided^ That if the person from whom such payment is demanded,
accepted, received, or retained, or the person wrongfully evicted,
either fails to institute an action under this section within thirty days
from the date of the occurrence of the violation or is not entitled for
any reason to bring the action, the United States may settle the claim
arising out of the violation or within one year after the date of viola-
tion may institute such action.
If such claim is settled or such action
is instituted, the person from whom such payment is demanded,

under subsection (a) of this section, all violations alleged in an action
under said subsection (a) which were committed by the defendant
with respect to the plaintiff prior to the bringing of such an action
shall be deemed to constitute one violation and, in such action under
subsection (a) of this section, the amount demanded, accepted, received,

connection with all such violations. A judgment for damages or on

housing accommodations in excess of the maximum rent prescribed
under this Act, or otherwise to do or omit to do any act, in violation
of this Act, or of any regulation or order or requirement under this
Act, or to offer, solicit, attempt, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
"(2) It shall be unlawful for any person to evict, remove, or exclude,
or cause to be evicted, removed, or excluded, any tenant from any
controlled housing accommodations in any manner or upon any
grounds except as authorized or permitted by the provisions of this Act
or any regulation, order, or requirement thereunder, and any person
who lawfully gains possession from a tenant of any controlled housing
accommodations, and thereafter fails fully to comply with such re-
quirements or conditions as may have been imposed for such possession
by the provisions of this Act or any regulation, order, or requirement
thereunder, shall also be deemed to have unlawfully evicted such ten-
ant and shall be liable to such tenant, or to the United States, as pro-
vided in this Act."
SEC. 206. Section 202 (a) of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as

whom it would be necessary to negotiate, or for other reasons, the
effort to acquire by negotiation would involve, in the judgment of
the President, such delay in acquiring the property as to be contrary
to the interest of national defense.

instituted pursuant to this section, the court shall not order the party
in possession to surrender possession in advance of final judgment

(d) Section 208 (a) of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended to read as follows:
"(a) The President shall administer the powers, duties, and func-
tions conferred upon him by title I I of this Act through the new
independent agency created pursuant to section 403 of the Defense
Production Act of 1950; and he shall administer the powers, duties, and

transferred to other positions in the Government, be separated from
thQ service.
The President shall make such provisions as he shall
deem appropriate for the termination and liquidation of the affairs
of the Office of the Housing^ Expediter. For the purposes of deter-
mining the status of employees transferred to an agency administering
functions provided for in this Act, they shall be deemed to be trans-
ferred in connection with a transfer of functions."
SEC. 203. Section 204 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:
"(k) The President shall by i-egulation or order establish such
maximum rent or maximum rents as in his judgment will be fair and
equitable for controlled housing accommodations (as defined in section
202 (c)) (1) in any State which by law declares that there exists such
a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such State, or (2) in any incorporated city, town,
village, or in the unincorporated area of any county (other than a
city, town, village, or unincorporated area of any county within a
State which is controlling rents) upon receipt of a resolution of its
governing body adopted for that purpose in accordance with applicable
local law and based upon a finding by such governing body, reached as
a result of a public hearing held after ten days' notice, that there exists
such a shortage in rental housing accommodations as to require Federal
rent control in such city, town, village, or unincorporated area in such
county.
In establishing any maximum rent for any housing accom-
modations under this subsection the President shall give due consid-
eration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommodations or
comparable housing accommodations during the period from May
24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for such
relevant factors as he shall deem to be of general applicability in
respect to such accommodations, including increases or decreases in
property taxes and other costs within such State, incorporated city,
town, or village, or unincorporated area.
" (1) Whenever the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Defense
Mobilization, acting jointly, shall determine and certify to the Presi-
dent that any area (whether then or ever controlled or decontrolled
under this Act) is a critical defense housing area, the President shall
by regulation or order establish such maximum rent or maximum rents
for any housing accommodations, not then subject to rent control, in
such area or portion thereof as in his judgment will be fair and equi-
table.
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 202 (c) the term
'controlled housing accommodations' as applied to any such critical
defense housing area shall include all housing accommodations in the
area, without exception. In establishing any maximum rent for any
housing accommodations under this subsection, the President shall give
due consideration to the rents prevailing for such housing accommoda-
tions or comparable housing accommodations during the period from
May 24, 1950, to June 24, 1950, and he shall make adjustment for
such relevant factors as he shall determine and deem to be of general
applicability in respect to such accommodations, including increases or
decreases in property taxes and other costs within such area. Maxi-
mum rents in any critical defense housing area shall be terminated at
such time as the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Defense
Mobilization, acting jointly, shall determine and certify to the Presi-
dent that such area is no longer a critical defense housing area, or as
provided in subsection (e) or (j) of this section: Provided^ however^
That in any area where maximum rents are removed under the pro-
cedures provided in subsection (e) or (j) of this section, maximum
rents may be reestablished after the expiration of thirty days on the
determination and certification of the Secretary of Defense and the
Termination.

No area shall be
certified as a critical defense housing area under the authority granted
in this subsection unless all the following conditions exist in such
area:
"(1) a new defense plant or installation has been or is to be pro-
vided, or an existing defense plant or installation has been or is to
be reactivated or its operation substantially expanded;
"(2) substantial in-migration of defense workers or military per-
sonnel is required to carry out activities at such plant or installation;
and
"(3) a substantial shortage of housing required for such defense
workers or militaiy personnel exists or impends which has resulted
or threatens to result in excessive rent increases and which impedes
or threatens to impede activities of such defense plant or installation.
"(m) Whenever an area has been certified under subsection (1)
to be a critical defense housing area, real-estate construction credit
controls imposed under title VI of the Defense Production Act of 1950
shall be relaxed to the extent necessary to encourage construction of
housing for defense workers and military personnel: Provided^ That
the certification, pursuant to subsection (1), that an area is a critical
defense housing area shall not be effective in such area for any of
the purposes of this section until such real-estate construction credit
controls have been relaxed as provided in this subsection to the extent
necessary in the determination of the President. The fact that any
area has been certified as a critical defense housing area under sub-
section (1) shall not make such area ineligible for the location of
additional defense plants, facilities, or installations, or as a source
of additional military procurement of any sort.
"(n) No maximum rents shall be established under subsection (1)
for housing accommodations in any State where rent control is in
effect or in any locality where local rent control is in effect, unless
the rent component of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics for such State or locality has increased more than the
United States average of the rent component of such index during
the last six months for which such index is available immediately
preceding the establishment of such maximum rents.
The rent com-
ponent of the Consumers' Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
for any State shall be the average, weighted by population as deter-
mined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all reported cities in the
State, except that, where only one city is reported, the rent com-
ponent for the State shall be the rent component for that city.
Upon
the establishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for
housing accommodations in a State in which State rent control is in
effect. State rent control shall thereupon terminate.
Upon the estab-
lishment of maximum rents pursuant to subsection (1) for housing
accommodations in a locality in which local rent control is in effect,
local rent control shall thereupon terminate.
The rent component
for any locality subject to local rent control shall be the rent com-
ponent as established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for that
locality.
Where data concerning rents have not been heretofore
collected for a city in a State having State rent control or for a par-
ticular locality which has local rent control, the President may cause
a survey to be made by the Bureau of I^abor Statistics for the purpose
of establishing a rent component for that State or locality.
For the
purposes of this subsection, State rent control shall be deemed in
effect in any State in which maximum rents are controlled pursuant
to State law throughout the State, regardless of whether maximum
rents are actually in effect in every locality of the State.
"(o) In order to compensate for increases which have occurred
in costs and prices, the maximum rent in effect on the date of enact-
65 STAT.1
PUBLIC LAW 96—JULY 31. 1951
147
ment of this subsection for any housing accommodation shall, upon
sworn application, be increased to 120 per centum of the following:
The maximum rent for the housing accommodation in effect on
June 30,1947 (or if no maximum rent was then in effect for the hous-
ing accommodation, the maximum rent then in effect for comparable
housing accommodations), plus the amount of any increase allowed
or allowable under this Act for major capital improvements or for
increases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equipment,
and minus any decrease required or requirable under this Act for
decreases in living space, services, furniture, furnishings, or equip-
ment, or for substantial deterioration or failure to perform ordinary
repair, replacement, or maintenance.
Any increase in a maximum
rent applied for under this subsection which is based upon the maxi-
mum rent in effect on June 30,1947, for the particular housing accom-
modation and upon increases and decreases actually allowed under
this Act shall be effective upon the filing of the application. Nothing
in this subsection shall require the reduction of any maximum rent,
nor prevent such additional adjustment for increases in costs and
prices as the President may deem appropriate."
SEC. 204. Section 205 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended^ is amended to read as follows:
"SEC. 205. (a) Any person who demands, accepts, receives, or retains
any payment of rent in excess of the maximum rent prescribed under
the provisions of this Act, or any regulation, order, or requirement
thereunder, shall be liable to the person from whom such payment is
demanded, accepted, received, or retained (or shall be liable to the
United States as hereinafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees
and costs as determined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the
amounts of (1) $50, or (2) not more than three times the amount by
which the payment or payments demanded, accepted, received, or
retained exceed the maximum rent which could lawfully be demanded,
accepted, received, or retained, as the court in its discretion may
determine, whichever in either case may be the greater amount: Pro-
vided^ That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount
of the overcharge or overcharges if the defendant proves that the vio-
lation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take practicable
precautions against the occurrence of the violation.
"(b) Any person who unlawfully evicts a tenant shall be liable to
the person so evicted (or shall be liable to the United States as here-
inafter provided) for reasonable attorney's fees and costs as deter-
mined by the court, plus liquidated damages in the amounts of (1)
one month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, or (2) not more than
three times such monthly rent, or $150, whichever is greater: Provided^
That the amount of such liquidated damages shall be the amount of one
month's rent or $50, whichever is greater, if the defendant proves that
the violation was neither willful nor the result of failure to take
practicable precautions against the occurrence of the violation.
"(c) Suit to recover liquidated damages as provided in this section
may be brought in any Federal court of competent jurisdiction regard-
less of the amount involved, or in any State or Territorial court of
competent jurisdiction, within one year after the date of violation:
Provided^ That if the person from whom such payment is demanded,
accepted, received, or retained, or the person wrongfully evicted,
either fails to institute an action under this section within thirty days
from the date of the occurrence of the violation or is not entitled for
any reason to bring the action, the United States may settle the claim
arising out of the violation or within one year after the date of viola-
tion may institute such action.

is instituted, the person from whom such payment is demanded,

liquidated damages to be awarded to the plaintiff in an action brought
under subsection (a) of this section, all violations alleged in an action
under said subsection (a) which were committed by the defendant
with respect to the plaintiff prior to the bringing of such an action
shall be deemed to constitute one violation and, in such action under

or retained in connection with such one violation shall be deemed to
be the aggregate amount demanded, accepted, received, or retained in
connection with all such violations. A judgment for damages or on
the merits in any action under either subsection (a) or (b) of this
section shall be a bar to any recovery under the same subsection of

of the action in which such judgment was rendered."
SEC. 205. Section 206 (a) of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended to read as follows:

housing accommodations in excess of the maximum rent prescribed
under this Act, or otherwise to do or omit to do any act, in violation
of this Act, or of any regulation or order or requirement under this
Act, or to offer, solicit, attempt, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
"(2) It shall be unlawful for any person to evict, remove, or exclude,
or cause to be evicted, removed, or excluded, any tenant from any
controlled housing accommodations in any manner or upon any
grounds except as authorized or permitted by the provisions of this Act
or any regulation, order, or requirement thereunder, and any person
who lawfully gains possession from a tenant of any controlled housing
accommodations, and thereafter fails fully to comply with such re-
quirements or conditions as may have been imposed for such possession
by the provisions of this Act or any regulation, order, or requirement
thereunder, shall also be deemed to have unlawfully evicted such ten-
ant and shall be liable to such tenant, or to the United States, as pro-
vided in this Act."
SEC. 206. Section 202 (a) of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as
amended, is amended to read as follows:

" P U R P O S E S ; TIME LIMIT
"SECTION 1. (a) It is hereby found that the national emergency and
the national defense program (1) have aggravated the congested
situation v^ith regard to housing accommodations existing at the seat
of government; (2) have led or will lead to profiteering and other
speculative and manipulative practices by some owners of housing
accommodations; (3) have rendered or will render ineffective the
normal operations of a free market in housing accommodations; and
(4) are making it increasingly difficult for persons whose duties or
obligations require them to live or work in the District of Columbia
to obtain such accommodations. Whereupon it is the purpose of this
Act and the policy of the Congress during the existing emergency to
prevent undue rent increases and any other practices relating to
housing accommodations in the District of Columbia which may tend
to increase the cost of living or otherwise impede the national defense
program.
"(b) The provisions of this Act, and all regulations, orders, and
Expiration date,
requirements thereunder, shall terminate on June 30,1952; except that
as to offenses committed, or rights or liabilities incurred, prior to such
expiration date, the provisions of this Act and such regulations,
orders, and requirements shall be treated as still remaining in force
for the purpose of sustaining any proper suit, action, or prosecution
with respect to any such right, liability, or offense.
4( MAXIMUM-RENT CEILINGS AND MINIMUM-SERVICE STANDARDS
"SEC. 2. Subject to such adjustments as may be made pursuant to
sections 3 and 4, maximum-rent ceilings and minimum-service stand-
ards for housing accommodations in the District of Columbia shall be
the following:
"(1) For housing accommodations rented on January 1, 1951,
and not under control under this Act prior to that date, the rent
and service to which the landlord and tenant were entitled on that
date.
"(2) For housing accommodations not rented on January 1,
1951, but which had been rented within the year ending on that
date, and not under control under this Act during that year, the
rent and service to which the landlord and tenant were last
entitled within such year.
"(3) For housing accommodations not rented on January 1,
1951, or within the year ending on that date, and not covered by
subsection (4) hereof, the rent and service generally prevailing
for comparable housing accommodations as determined by the
Administrator.
" (4) For housing accommodations under control under this Act
on December 31, 1950, the rent and service to which the landlord
and tenant were entitled on June 30, 1951; except that upon the
filing, by any landlord of any housing accommodations covered
by this subsection, of a new rent schedule on a form prescribed
by the Administrator and setting forth the pertinent circum-
stances as indicated by such form, the rent and service shall be
adjusted and automatically effective upon the date of filing
thereof, (A) for housing accommodations rented on January 1,
1941, or within the year ending on that date, so that the maxi-
mum-rent ceiling shall be increased to 20 per centum above the
rent heretofore frozen at the level of January 1, 1941, or the
last rent in the year 1940, whichever was applicable, plus the

upward adjustments heretofore authorized by General Orders
12 and 13 of the Administrator; and (B) for housing accom-
modations not rented on January 1, 1941, or within the year
ending on that date, so that the maximum-rent ceiling shall be
increased by 2 per centum per year for each calendar year end-
ing after rent schedules for such housing accommodations were
first filed in the office of the Administrator, for the calendar years
1941 to 1950, inclusive, to the extent applicable, plus the upward
adjustments heretofore authorized by General Orders 12 and 13
of the Administrator.
"GENERAL AND SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS
"SEO. 3. (a) Whenever in the judgment of the Administrator a
general increase or decrease since January 1, 1951, in taxes or other
maintenance or operating costs or expenses has occurred or is about
to occur in such manner and amount as substantially to affect the
maintenance and operation of housing accommodations generally or
of any particular class of housing accommodations, he may by regu-
lation or order increase or decrease the maximum-rent ceiling or
minimum-service standard, or both, for such accommodations or class

of the Administrator that the maximum-rent ceiling on any housing
accommodation is substantially lower than the maximum-rent ceiling
for comparable housing accommodations located within the same
building or group of buildings operated by the same landlord as a
single operation, the Administrator may, by special order under this
section, adjust such lower ceiling so as to equalize the same with such
higher ceiling, and thereupon such adjusted ceilings shall be the
maximum-rent ceilings for the housing accommodations subject to
such special order.
"(c) Upon the showing bj^ any landlord to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the maximum-rent ceilings, on any comparable
housing accommodations located within the same building or group
of buildings operated by the same landlord as a single operation, will
vary in amount due to the effect of General Orders 12 and 13 or similar
general orders, the Administrator may, by special order under this
section, adjust any or all of such ceilings so as to equalize the same, and
thereupon such adjusted ceilings shall be the maximum-rent ceilings

"SEC. 4. (a) Any landlord or tenant may petition the Administrator
***°'^'
to adjust the maximum-rent ceiling applicable to his housing
accommodations on the ground that such maximum-rent ceiling is,
due to peculiar circumstances affecting such housing accommodations,
substantially higher or lower than the rent generally prevailing for
comparable housing accommodations; whereupon the Administrator
may by order adjust such maximum-rent ceiling to provide the rent
generally prevailing for comparable housing accommodations as
determined by the Administrator.

"(b) Any landlord may petition the Administrator to adjust the
maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard, or both, appli-
cable to his housing accommodations to compensate for (1) a substan-
tial rise in taxes or other maintenance or operating costs or expenses
over those prior to January 1, 1951, or (2) a substantial capital
improvement including furniture and furnishings or alteration made
since January 1, 1951; whereupon the Administrator may by order
adjust such maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard in
such manner or amount as he deems proper to compensate therefor,
in whole or in part, if he finds such adjustment necessary or appro-
priate to carry out the purposes of this Act: Promded^ That no such
adjusted maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard shall
permit the receipt of rent in excess of the rent generally prevailing
for comparable housing accommodations as determined by the
Administrator.
"(c) Any tenant may petition the Administrator on the ground
that the service supplied to him is less than the service established by
the minimum-service standard for his housing accommodations;
whereupon the Administrator may order that the service be main-
tained at such minimum-service standard, or that the maximum-rent
ceiling be decreased to compensate for a reduction in service, as he
deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this Act.
"(d) Any landlord may petition the Administrator for permission
to reduce the service supplied by him in connection with any housing
accommodations; whereupon the Administrator, if he determines that
the reduction of such service is to be made in good faith for valid
business reasons and is not inconsistent with carrying out the purposes
of this Act, may, by order, reduce the minimum-service standard
applicable to such housing accommodations and adjust the maximum-
rent ceiling downward in such amount as he deems proper to com-
pensate therefor.
"(e) Any tenant may petition the Administrator to adjust the
maximum-rent ceiling applicable to his housing accommodations on
the ground that such maximum-rent ceiling permits the receipt of an
unduly high rent; whereupon the Administrator may by order adjust
such maximum-rent ceiling in such manner or amount as shall, in his
judgment, effectuate the purposes of this Act and provide a fair and
reasonable rent for such housing accommodations, but not less than the
generally prevailing rate for comparable housing accommodations.
"(f) A petition made pursuant to this section shall be subject to the
provisions of sections 8 and 9 of this Act. Any adjusted maximum-rent
ceiling or minimum-service standard ordered pursuant to this section
shall be the maximum-rent ceiling or minimum-service standard for
the housing accommodations subject thereto; except that, in the event
that the adjustment order is stayed or set aside by the court in accord-
ance with section 9 of this Act, the maximum-rent ceiling and mini-
mum-service standard theretofore applicable to such housing accom-
modations under this Act remain in full force and effect.
"(g) Upon the expiration of forty-five days after the date of the
filing of any petition by anj^ landlord for adjustment of the maximum-
rent ceiling under the provisions of subsection (b) of this section, the
maximum-rent ceiling for the housing accommodations covered by such
petition automatically shall become the ceiling requested in such
adjustment petition, unless and until such adjustment petition shall

of appointment, the subsequent exercise of such power shall not
be deemed to be the exercise of a f^eneral power of appointment.
"(2) POWERS CREATED AFTER OCTOBER 21, 1942.—To the extent of
any property with respect to which the decedent has at the time
of his death a general power of appointment created after October
21, 1942, or with respect to which the decedent has at any time
exercised or released such a power of appointment by a disposition
which is of such nature that if it were a transfer of property
owned by the decedent, such property would be includible in the
decedent's gross estate under subsection (c) or (d). A disclaimer
or renunciation of such a power of appointment shall not be
deemed a release of such powder.
"For the purposes of this paragraph (2) the power of appoint-
ment shall be considered to exist on the date of the decedent's
death even though the exercise of the power is subject to a prece-
dent giving of notice or even though the exercise of the power
takes effect only on the expiration of a stated period after its
exercise, whether or not on or before the date of the decedent's
death notice has been given or the power has been exercised.
"(3)
DEFINITION OF GENERAL POWER OF APPOINTMENT.—For the

ment' means a power which is exercisable in favor of the decedent,

ber 21, 1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only in

October 21, 1942, which is exercisable by the decedent only
in conjunction with another person—
"(i) if the power is not exercisable by the decedent
except in conjunction wdth the creator of the power—
such power shall not be deemed a general power of
appointment.
"(ii) if the power is not exercisable by the decedent
except in conjunction with a person having a substantial
interest in the property, subject to the power, which is
adverse to exercise of the power in favor of the dece-
dent—such power shall not be deemed a general power
of appointment. For the purposes of this clause a person
who, after the death of the decedent, may be possessed
of a power of appointment (with respect to the property
subject to the decedent's power) which he may exercise
in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest
in the property and such interest shall be deemed adverse
to such exercise of the decedent's power.

able in favor of such person, his estate, his creditors, or the
creditors of his estate.

extent of any property with respect to which the decedent (1) by
will or (2) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were
a transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property would
be includible in the decedent's gross estate under subsection (c),
exercises a power of appointment created after October 21, 1942,
by creating another power of appointment which under the appli-
cable local law can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vest-
ing of any estate or interest in such property, or suspend the
absolute ownership or power of alienation of such property, for a
period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation
of the first power.
"(5) LAPSE OF POWER.—^The lapse of a power of appointment
created after October 21, 1942, during the life of the individual

"(2) POWERS CREATED AFTER OCTOBER 21, 1942.—To the extent of
any property with respect to which the decedent has at the time
of his death a general power of appointment created after October
21, 1942, or with respect to which the decedent has at any time
exercised or released such a power of appointment by a disposition
which is of such nature that if it were a transfer of property
owned by the decedent, such property would be includible in the
decedent's gross estate under subsection (c) or (d). A disclaimer
or renunciation of such a power of appointment shall not be
deemed a release of such powder.
"For the purposes of this paragraph (2) the power of appoint-
ment shall be considered to exist on the date of the decedent's
death even though the exercise of the power is subject to a prece-
dent giving of notice or even though the exercise of the power
takes effect only on the expiration of a stated period after its
exercise, whether or not on or before the date of the decedent's
death notice has been given or the power has been exercised.
"(3)
DEFINITION OF GENERAL POWER OF APPOINTMENT.—For the

interest in the property, subject to the power, which is
adverse to exercise of the power in favor of the dece-
dent—such power shall not be deemed a general power
of appointment. For the purposes of this clause a person
who, after the death of the decedent, may be possessed
of a power of appointment (with respect to the property
subject to the decedent's power) which he may exercise
in his own favor shall be deemed as having an interest
in the property and such interest shall be deemed adverse
to such exercise of the decedent's power.

able in favor of such person, his estate, his creditors, or the
creditors of his estate.

extent of any property with respect to which the decedent (1) by
will or (2) by a disposition which is of such nature that if it were
a transfer of property owned by the decedent, such property would
be includible in the decedent's gross estate under subsection (c),
exercises a power of appointment created after October 21, 1942,
by creating another power of appointment which under the appli-
cable local law can be validly exercised so as to postpone the vest-
ing of any estate or interest in such property, or suspend the
absolute ownership or power of alienation of such property, for a
period ascertainable without regard to the date of the creation

House of Representatives, upon its own motion, or upon application
of any interested party, the United States Tariff Commission shall
promptly make an investigation and make a report thereon not later
than one year after the application is made to determine whether any
product upon which a concession has been granted under a trade
agreement is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the duty or other
customs treatment reflecting such concession, being imported into
the United States in such increased quantities, either actual or relative,
as to cause or threaten serious injury to the domestic industry pro-
ducing like or directly competitive products.
In the course of any such investigation, whenever it finds evidence
of serious injury or threat of serious injury or whenever so directed
by resolution of either the Committee on Finance of the Senate or
the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives,
the Tariff Commission shall hold hearings giving reasonable public
notice thereof and shall afford reasonable opportunity for interested
parties to be present, to produce evidence, and to be heard at such
hearings.
Should the Tariff Commission find, as the result of its investigation
and hearings, that a product on which a concession has been granted
is, as a result, in whole or in part, of the duty or other customs treat-
ment reflecting such concession, being imported in such increased
quantities, either actual or relative, as to cause or threaten serious
injury to the domestic industry producing like or directly competitive
products, it shall recommend to the President the withdrawal or
modification of the concession, its suspension in whole or in part, or
the establishment of import quotas, to the extent and for the time
necessary to prevent or remedy such injury.
Within sixty days, or
sooner if the President has taken action under subsection (c) of this
section, the Tariff Commission shall transmit to the Committee on
Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the
House of Representatives an exact copy of its report and recommenda-
tions to the President.
(b) In arriving at a determination in the foregoing procedure the
Tariff Commission, without excluding other factors, shall take into
consideration a downward trend of production, employment, prices,
profits, or wages in the domestic industry concerned, or a decline in
sales, an increase in imports, either actual or relative to domestic
production, a higher or growing inventory, or a decline in the propor-
tion of the domestic market supplied by domestic producers.
(c) Upon receipt of the Tariff Commission's report of its investi-
gation and hearings, the President may make such adjustments in
the rates of duty, impose such quotas, or make such other modifica-
tions as are found and reported b}r the Commission to be necessary
to prevent or remedy serious injury to the respective domestic
industry.
If the President does not take such action within sixty
days he shall immediately submit a report to the Committee on Ways
and Means of the House and to the Committee on Finance of the
Senate stating why he has not made such adjustments or modifications,
or imposed such quotas.
(d) When in the judgment of the Tariff Commission no sufficient
reason exists for a recommendation to the President that a concession

the provisions of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as
amended, or under the provisions of section 7 of this Act to determine
the facts and make recommendations to the President for such relief

endar days after the submission of the case to the Tariff Commission.

necessary to prevent or remedy such injury.

sary because of the nature of such authorized activities.
"SEC. 1308. This title shall not affect rights of airmen under exist-

addition make quarterly progress reports to the Congress with refer-
ence to contracts entered into, proposed contracts, and the general
progress of his insurance activities.
"SEC. 1310. Upon disagreement as to a loss insured under this title,
suit may be maintained against the United States in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia or in the United States
district court in and for the district in which the claimant or his
agent resides, notwithstanding the amount of the claim and any pro-
vision of existing law as to the jurisdiction of United States district
courts, and this remedy shall be exclusive of any other action by reason
of the same subject matter against any agent or employee of the United
States employed or retained under this title. If the claimant has no
residence in the United States, suit may be brought in the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia or in any other
United States district court in which the Attorney General of the
United States agrees to accept service. The procedure in such suits
shall otherwise be the same as that provided for suits in the district
courts by title 28, United States Code, section 1346 (a) (2), so far as
applicable. All persons having or claiming or who might have an
interest in such insurance may be made parties either initially or

payment, the United States may bring an action in the nature of a
bill of interpleader against such parties, in the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia, or in the United States district
court of the district in which any such person resides. In such actions
any party, if not a resident of or found within the district, may be
brought in by order of court served in such reasonable manner as the
court directs. If the court is satisfied that persons unknown might
assert a claim on account of such insurance, it may direct service upon
such persons unknown by publication in the Federal Register. Judg-
ment in any such suit shall discharge the United States from further
liability to any parties to such action, and to all persons when service
by publication upon persons unknown is directed by the court.
The
period within which suits may be commenced contained in said Act
providing for bringing of suits against the United States shall, if
claim be filed therefor within such period, be suspended from such
time of filing until the claim shall have been administratively denied
by the Secretary and for sixty days thereafter: Provided^ however^
That such claim shall be deemed to have been administratively denied
if not acted upon within six months after the time of filing, unless
the Secretary for good cause shown shall have otherwise agreed with
the claimant.
" S E C 1311. A person having an insurable interest in an aircraft may,
with the approval of the Secretary, insure with other underwriters in
an amount in excess of the amount insured with the Secretary, and, in
that event, the Secretary shall not be entitled to the benefit of such
insurance, but nothing in this section shall prevent the Secretary from
entering into contracts of coinsurance.
"SEO. 1312. The authority of the Secretary to provide insurance and
reinsurance under this title shall expire five years from the date of
enactment of this title."
