State police also received reports of a stolen automobile at suburban Glendale.

Under the bil passed March communities could be decontrolled by their local governing with the state governor's and whole states could be decon- rolled by their legislatures. An Associated Press survey showed today that cities and towns, Including Ama- rilk), and McAlester, have lifted their own rent controls, with the approval of state governors.

He laid stress on the former connection of Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson with Consolidated. And he said he had heard "from sources I cannot disregard" that Symington will resign from the cab. inet to head a big aircraft combine to be set up by Floyd Odium, head of the Aths Corporation which controls Consolidated. Today Chairman Vinson (D-Oa) of the House Armed Services Committee released a letter from Symington taking up the Van Zandt speech point by point.
