Expect a Clarifying order" soon from WIPE Interpreting last months maintenance and construction re- strictions. Seems some landlords have been taking G5yaz.tcgc oE 1t to dodge obligations to tenants. Here are the real facts of the case: There is absolutely no limit to the amount spent on maintenance and repair as long as it keeps building in proper working order and does not entail any basic change in design"
 Tn fact, landlords under OPA rent regulations must carry out customary repair and renova- tion such as biennial painting, papering, etc. or else lower rent. In addition, owners can spend up to $500 per building on any kind of remodeling and new additions they please. Above that they can still apply for permission to WIPE to spend more on essential i'm provements, i.e. safety lightning sanitation, fire exits.
 Manufacturers of new furni- ture will have trouble getting water and heat-resistant varnishes for their new furniture finishes. Im- ported lacquers and tung oil are needed for shell coatings and ship protection.

 AS the supply situation for radio tubes becomes tighter, you will find fewer stations running on a 24-hour schedule. Small independent sup yplies will be the first to sign of earlier.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Probably on the assumption that
things around second base can be
NO worse, President Clark Grifith
Of the Mats is importing another
combination from Chattanooga
fioundering team to play shortstop
and second base for Washington
starting Sunday and perhaps ending
Monday.
The second baSeman will be one
Ellis Clary, who has gained a mild
measure of fame in the Southern
Association through the medium of
his eSSentricities. He is q fiery
tempered specimen who is labeled
an acceptable fielder. but his $50
batting average shouts for itself.
Playing shortstop for the Mats will
be John L. Sullivan, who is swinging
potent bat In his first season with
the Lookouts. Last year Sullivan
performed for Thomasville. Ga, of
the Georgia Florida League, where
he batted 1923, but committed the
lofty total of 80 errors. He cur
rently is hitting .322 for Chatta-
nooga.
To the seventh-place Lookouts
Grifith has dispatched Second
Baseman Jose Gomez and Outfielder
Roberto Ortiz, thus reducing his
Latin contingent to Alexandra Car
rasquel and Roberto Estalella. Both
Gomez, a Mexican, and Ortiz, O
Cuban, were hitting below 200.
Can't Get Help From Majors.
Grift1th issues a warning not to
expect too much of Clary and Sui
livan and 1t might be discreet to
heed the warning. Clary, a IA
batter last season when he batted in
only eight runs, need be no sensa-
ton in improving on the play of Bob
Repass, on whom local fans have
soured. If he occasionally will stoop
to pick up a ball swatted In his
direction Grifith Stadium customers
will be grateful.
Sullivan's insertion at shortstop
will send Jimmy Pofahl to the bench.
Grifdth is caressing the hope Sui
Ivan will bring more punch to ths
Mats lne-up-or at least more than
Pofahl has displayed.
Unable to talk President Don
Barnes of the st. Louis Browns into
trading, Grifhth has turned TO his
last resort. The Mats Southern
Association farm Is being raided

calculated to improve the breed Of
