Know Your
Rent Rights

Baltimore, Aug. 15-"Your Rights
Under Rent Control" pamphlet
written in question and answer
style. was published this week by
the Baltimore Industrial Union
Council. II is believed TO be the
first OF this subject issued by any
CIO organization.
The pamphlet, in handy pocket
size and illustrated, explains in
everyday language the major rights
and responsibilities under Federal
reat regulations administered in
this area by the Office of Price
Administration.
The CIO Council had three main
reasons for publishing it: To pro-
vide a service for Clio members: to
lessen conflicts between landlords
and tenants SO that all classes can
concentrate on the major battle
against the Axis: and TO help build
ana consolidate ClO unions by pro-
vidng their members with infor-
nation about regulations that vital
~ affect their standard of living.

PEARL HARBOR, T. H.. March
11.-Accept the words of three
United States Navy flyers who were
tossed by-and sometimes in-the
stormy South Seas during "a days
adrift on a rubber raft. there are
times when one is tickled to death to
see a shark.
Shark liver the meat Of an
albatross which chanced by :. a
fish caught with a pocketknife q.
a tern snatched by hand l.. F.. float
ing coconut. These sustained the
courageous trio as, naked and baked
by the sun, they used shoes for oars
to travel 1000 miles to the safety OF
an island after thei- land plane ran
low on fuel and they were forced
to alight in the ocean January 16.
Today they are recovering in Pearl
Harbor-Harold Dixon, AZ, of La
Mesa, Calf, aviation chief ma

Aldrich, "a, of Sikeston, Mo-, radio
man, and Anthony J. Pastula,

Badly Sunburned.
Let Dixon describe the day before
they sighted land:
"All our clothes were gone. We
had failed rapidly In physical and
mental condition. I'd already lost
three sets of skin from sunburn and
I was cooked like a Thanksgiving
turkey. Our tempers were short I
would get so mad couldn't see when
I would say something and the boys
would sit and appear not to hear.
Things looked pretty sour, but we
agreed this was no time to give up.
We tried to sleep in huddles that
night, but part of the time we had
to bail out the boat with our hands
because the clothes used for a scoop
had been ripped or washed away.
We hadn't slept at all, only dozed.
Try sleeping on mattress half your
length with some one hitting it from
beneath with a. baseball bat every
few seconds and you get a rough
