Doubles Value
OF Sugar Stamps and
Extends Time
Weekly Consumer Rotion
Remains at HoIf Pound
Under New Ruling

The value of sugar stamps and
6 has been increased to pounds
each, but each stamp will cover four
weeks instead of two, so the weekly
ration for each consumer will re-
main at a half pound
The Office of Price Administra-
ton explained that stamp No. 4
now valid for the purchase of a
pound of sugar, would expire at
midnight. June 27. The next stamp
good for two pounds. may be used
at any time thereafter until mid
night, July 25. whereupon stamp No
6 will become valid until August %
Sometime before August %, OPA
will announce the period of time to
be. covered by other stamps in the
ration books.
The ration stamps numbered from
l to each permitted purchase OF
l pound of sugar and covered a
two-week period. OPA offered no
official explanation of the extension
to a month, but it was evident that
the move to make stamp last
longer would reduce the number of
stamps which grocers would have
to handle.
At the same time, OPA disclosed
that, effective Saturday, it would
permit institutional and industrial
users to obtain sugar allowances for
a two-month period. instead of the
one month now permitted.

VINO, because OF the acute housing
shortage, have been forced to tol-
crate conditions in the rooming
houses in which they live, she thinks
some improvements could be made
in the new code.
Overcrowding will be reduced to
certain extent by regulation
forbidding the use of any room for
sleeping purposes which does not
have at least so square feet of floor
space per person. More adequate
and up-to-date sanitary facilities
also are required, but even these,
in Mrs. Hoffman's. experienced
opinion, will fail to contribute all
the essential elements of a content
ed life to war worker away from
home
Entertainment Problem.
Ten persons for every bathroom,
as allowed in the new regulations,
is regarded as too many persons,
especially in houses in which near
ly all the roomers 60 to work at the
same time, or where women pre-
dominate. Women, as rule, it is
said, spend nearly twice as much
time in a bathroom as man. be-
cause they wash their own gar
ments. while a man will send all
his soiled garments to a laundry.
Mrs. Hoffman believes, too. that
something should be done for the
girls who want to entertain. and
the answer might be in permitting
guests in the bedrooms until
reasonable" hour so long as the
door remains open.
Some of the rooming houses do
not allow girls to entertain boy
friends" she said Some others
only allow the boy friends as far
as the reception rooms, and in a
big rooming house the reception
rooms are usually crowded with
other guests. The girls have no
privacy. You know the result?
Clandestine meetings elsewhere.
Many of these Government girls
are young-some are probably look
ing for husbands-and I do think
a concession to them which would
allow visitors in their rooms with
the doors open would be big con-
tribution to their welfare and hap
piness."
Rule to Reduce Thefts.
One of Mrs Hoffman's minor
complaints against rooming houses
is removed in the new code-a regu-
lation requiring a lock and a key
for each room used for sleeping
purposes. This, she pointed out,
will reduce the number of wholesale
thefts which have occurred in re-
cent months. Cases have been re-
ported to the police, she said, in
which burglars have ransacked
nearly nearly every room in ROOM

Pvt. Joe Chennault of No. l3

American Volunteer Group in China,

come chief gunner's mate in the
Coast Guard.
Ever since the attack on Pearl
Harbor, Policeman Chennault has
been restless. A former marine, he
had agreed to meet Claire and join
the Flying Tigers" but the Jap
attack December 7 upset those
plans.
"Chennault can't be replaced,
said Capt. Charles J. P. Weber,
precinct No. 13 chief. He is intel
ligent, faithful, a hard worker and
a grand gentleman, with a great
capacity for work. We shall miss
him greatly"

houses have complained that wom-
en- roomers have been the ones who
made the advances, and not their
husbands.
Despite the larger number OF
rooming houses already in opera
tion, Mrs. Hoffman said Washing
ton is destined to face an even more
serious housing problem in the
next three months, unless the vast
reservoir of rooms in private homes
is opened to to the ever increasing
influx of Government employees
Owners OF many private homes
have told her they would be glad to
open their doors to the war work
ers if they could be given assur-
ance that undesirable tenants could
be evicted. Existing rent laws pro-
tect tenant from eviction as long
as he pays his rent and is not guilty
of immoral conduct.
To remedy this situation, Mrs
Hoffman has proposed an amend
ment to the Rent Control Act pro-
viding that the owner and the
tenant be parties to written
agreement in the form of simple
lease which could be terminated
after a weeks notice by either party.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations recently gave its indorse-
ment to a similar plan in order, it
said. that a backlog of $4,000
Washington homes" might be
opened to accommodate the grow
ing population, without putting the
owners in a legitimate rooming
house business.
