HOTELS VIOLATE
 OPA RENT RULES
All Petitions for Adjust ments Here Being Held
 Up By Agents

Investigation of local hotels by special rent agents sent there by the OPA has disclosed wide non- compliance with maximum rent reg ulations and the Waterbury area rent control office has been ordered to hold up all hotel petitions for rent adjustments until detailed re- ports are submitted and the viola tionS cease.
 A communication received at the local office from regional headquart- CTS today states that only one hotel in Waterbury has observed the reg ulations considered so far in the in- vestigation. The report adds that the hotels monthly and weekly rates have not yet been obtained and it can not yet be established as being in conformance with the rent laws.
 Names of two hotels have been placed on the list of violators, but the local rent office declined to dis close them until further investiga- ton is conducted and all details are checked.
 Although specific violations were not disclosed. Atty. Sidney Cassel, chief attorney for the Waterbury office, stated it is believed many of the hotels have neglected to post cards listing the legal rates in all rooms as ordered by the OPA.
 The headquarters report states that occupants of hotels will not submit complaints and as a result conduction of special investigation is the only means of determining violations.

PROTEST FRAMED
 BY CLIO. LOCAL
Document Terms Robin- sons Action ''Vengeful
 and Arbitrary"

An indignant protest of President Robinson's alleged deliberate vio- lation of his duty" in continuing John Driscoll's leave of absence from his post as international rep- resentative of Local 251, was framed last night at meeting of the local and will be forwarded to c. I. O. President Philip Murray and to the executive board of the Mine, Mil, and Shelter Workers union. The document calls upon c. I. O. au- thorities to reverse what it terms Robinsons "vengeful and arbitrary action" and reinstate Driscoll as representative.
 The protest points out that Rob- inson's action was taken without consulting c. M. Mariana, board member for this district, or Alex Cashin, Connecticut coordinator, and hence was not official. It also charges that the Robinson move was made mot as fortnight dis charge, but in the cowardly form of extending Driscoll's leave of ab- sence beyond November l5, al- though Driscou had never asked for such leave"
 Driscoll requested leave of ab- sence to "enable him to execute c. I. o. policy in the recent con- gressional and state election" the petition stated, and it was most un- fair to penalize him for aiding the union.

MONDAY, THURSDAY
 BUSY FOR CHAPTER

For Raymond Clapper, Monday and Thursdays are extra busy days, for, in addition to writing his daily newspaper column. he has to pre- pare a script for his news broad cast, heard at 10 p. m. EWT, over WATR under the sponsorship oi White Owl cigars.
 Clapper uses the morning and about half the afternoon to write his syndicated column. By three o'clock he usually is ready to begin work on the script of his broadcast and, with the exception of 6 short time of for bite of supper, keeps at it steadily until nine o'clock when he shows up at the studios of VOL. Mutuals Washington affili- ate, for rehearsals and timing.
 Asked whether he has & fool proof system for timing a script while typing it, Clapper explained that he has found that i50 lines, with the margins of his typewriter set as they are, suffice for the length of broadcast time he is al- loted. He usually writes a little more than he'll have time for dur ing a broadcast, on the theory that it's easier, when timing, to cut down a script than to build it up.

Oscar Olson
Will Seek
Reelection
Territorial Treasurer Toss.
es Hat in Ring as Can
diddte in Primaries

The second splash in the Terri
torial political pool was heard today
when the ample headpiece of Terri
torial Treasurer Oscar G.. Olson was
Tipped into the ring in a declara-
ton of his candidacy in the April %
primaries for reelection to his pres
ent post.
Olson plungled up filing fees and
filed his intention to run for an
other term in the important Terri
torial office early this morning in
the office of Territorial Auditor
Frank A. Boyle, where declarations
of candidacy for that post, and for
Delegate to Congress and Territorial
Commissioner of Labor must be filed
before the office closes the last
day of this month.
Olson's filing was the second
declaration to date. Last week
Michael j. Haas, present Commits
sioner of Labor, filed his candidacy
to succeed himself. Both filings
to date have been as candidates on
the Democratic ticket.
Is Oldtimer
Olson has been in Alaska since
1912. He was born in New Folden,
Minnesota. When he was baptized
his parents, evidently believing that
in the future he would have a re-
ponsible position dealing with
money, named him Oscar Greenback
Olson. He was too young to protest
at the time, and the name Green
back is only known to his family
and a few intimate friends.
For two years Olson was with the
Alaska Railroad at Nenana during
construction days, working in the
office. Prior to being elected Treas
urer he was for fifteen years agent
and cashier for the Copper River
and Northwestern Railroad and
Kennecott Copper Corporation at
Kennecott. During the World War
he served with Company B. of the
l4th Infantry from Alaska.
Olson has seen wide area of
Alaska, and his activities have been
diversified. He has been a pros
pector, trapper and a commercial
fisherman. In the field of sport
he majored in wrestling, and num-
erous victories testify to his ability
in that line.
Olson pledged to the voters of Al
aska, who have honored him with
two terms in the responsible office
of Treasurer, the same policy of eff
ficiency and economy he has con-
sistently followed during his in
cumbency.7
Olson is National Committeeman
for the Democratic Party of Alaska,
and attended the 1910 National
Convention of the party.
