ing primaries, appears the name OF
Charles Bowles. ex-mayor OF De-
'roit and formerly recorders court
Judge Mr. Bowles is at present en-
gagged In private law practice in
Detroit. His experience in public
life both as member OF the judi
ciary and as the head OF the great
city government qualities him
without question. his friends be-
lieve, for the office which he seeks.
Charles Bowles' record is well
known to all Detroiters. He was
elected judge OF recorders court
by a tremendous majority in 1927
and served with an excellent re-
cord in this office until 1880, when
he was elected mayor OF the city OF
Detroit. Charles Bowles was twice
nominated for Congress in the 18th
District and was defeated by a
very narrow margin on both oc-
casions.
The City OF Detroit Is passing
through a crucial period in it's in
dustrial and financial life and re-
quires the services Of capable and
experienced men to guide It's desti-

believe he is such a man. and that

few INCREASES
IN RENTS HERE

Increase in District rents, be-
cause of the boost in the real
estate tax rates, will come in only
rare cases where property owners
feel there should be a readjust-
ment.
That is the opinion of Morton j.
Luchs, acting president of the
Washington Real Estate Board,
given today in answer to a state
ment by Miss Gwen Geach, secre-
tary of the District Minimum
Wage Board, that real estate opera
tors were contemplating a II per
cent rent increase on September
Is.
Mr.. Luchs denied that there
has been any concerted effort on
the part of members of the Real
Estate Board to increase rents.
He believes the only increases
will come on property where the
rents were materially reduced
during the depression and have
not been raised to the regular
schedule.
