Maintains Rent Controls Americans At Peiping Parley Face Probe WASHINGTON UP) Secretary of State Acheson said Wednesday the State department is investigating some 15 Americans attending the Communist-spon-soi-ed Asian "peace" conference at Peiping, which he termed an "obvious propaganda operation." Any who may have obtained passports by fraud or misused these documents is subject, he noted, to stiff fines and prison terms. The conference, opening Thursday, is expected to make the United States a target of propaganda attacks. Acheson told his news conference that it would deceive nobody. He said that Red China, while serving as host to the "peace" conference, is defying the United Nations, waging war in Korea, and has joined Soviet Russia in a hate campaign against Americans.

By EDWARD CURTIS NEW YORK UP) A young advertising executive said Wednesday the Republicans plan a two million dollar radio and TV campaign to swing 12 key states and win the election for Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The executive, Michael Levin, 31, told a news conference the campaign was based on a study he completed last Aug. 18.

He added that the campaign was scheduled to begin Oct. 20 in 62 counties in the 12 states. The plan calls for four or five TV spots and 15 to 20 radio spots a day over local stations during the final two weeks of the campaign. The TV spots, he said, would be 20 seconds to one minute in length. The radio spots were made from the sound track the TV programs.

Levin said the campaign was being sponsored by the Citizens for Eisenhower committees, that Eisenhower had approved it and already has made 40 of the TV programs for distribution to local stations. Levin said the 12 states are Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa and California. In addition, Levin said he had prepared an annex covering 13 counties in Texas. He said he thought a similar campaign might be made in them.

Levin, who strongly indicated he is a supporter of Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, said he wrote the plan as a "labor of love of my interest in politics and for a friend." He said the friend was Rosser Reeves, an executive of the Ted Bates Advertising Agency. Levin said Reeves had suggested the TV and radio spot campaign during talks with millionaire John Hay Whitney; James Stanton, Texas oil man, and Henry Ford II. Levin said they had gone to Reeves seeking a way to counteract the Democratic slogan of "you've never had it so good." The base of his study, Levin gaid, was to show that by changing from 2 to 4 per cent of the voters in the 62 critical counties, Eisenhower could win. Additional Obituaries OSCAR L.

Under the Federal Rent Control Act ceilings expired at midnight, Sept. 30, in all communities except those which voted to retain them or those designated critical housing areas.
