Area May yReceive
Defense Listing
If Rents Not Cut

Possibility that Imperial
Valley may be declared a de-
fense housing area by the
Navy unless rents are
brought down to reasonable
levels was disclosed Wednesday by
j. w. Macke, area superintendent OF
Vinson, Pringle and Webb con-
struction company.
Macke, who has just arrived in
Ell Centre from Colorado Springs,
Colorado, where he was working
on Fort Carson, struck out against
exorbitant prices being charged de-
fense workers for certain auto
courts and other dwellings" in El
Centre. Defense workers are DEL
initely not tourists!" he said.
Macke heads contingent OF $50
men, of which number about IS per
cent will bring families, from the
Colorado project. Most OF the group
were originally from Missouri. Near
~ 80 men have arrived, Macke said,
and accompanied by their wives and
families, most of them are putting
up at small auto courts or apart
ment houses in Ell Centro. Only
about one per cent OF the group will
take up bachelor quarters at the
Seeley airport where they will be
working, Macke said.
Like Washingtonians when
housing shortage was first felt in
the capital, Ell Centrans were urgeo
to make their extra rooms, in prl-
vate homes, available to workers
on The defense projects.
CAN EXPAND INCOME
With little expense to fix up
the rooms," Macke said, many
homeoWners here could derive extra
income from quarters now used
minimum of the time by the home
owners. In many homes, rooms can
be arranged TO iorm small apart
ments to house a couple-a man and
wife. two men, or a couple and one
child"
To accommodate the influx OF
workers the construction company
will lease whole apartment houses
or auto courts if necessary SAID
Macke. providing that living condi-
tions in the buildings are satisfac-
tory and the rent is reasonable.
Reasonable rent as the govern
ment sees it, Macke said, is in the
neighborhood of $35 month Tor
small three or four room units Oh
course, if better homes are obtain
able then the rent should be in
proportion

Mama and Papa are just as guilty
