Greenway Rent Hearing
Nearinu Conclusion

Hearings in the Greenway Apart
ments rent case were expected to
go into their final phase tomorrow
in the ONCE of Robert F. Cogswell,
District rent control administrator,
when the last of the witnesses for
the tenants will be asked to testify.
Tenants yesterday repeated many
of the complaints heard earlier in
the hearings and on the basis of
which they are opposing the man
agement's position for rent ceilings
which would be higher than many
of the prevailing rents Morris Ca
fritz. president of Greenway, Inc,
has asked for determination of the
legal maximum rents on nearly 300
apartment units, none of which was
occupied on January l, 194l, rent
freezing" date. He has promised,
however, that he would not raise
rents on any apartment in the prof.
ect so long as the present tenant
continued to occupy it.
Earlier this week, tenants at
Greenway recounted numerous al
legged deficiencies in the develop
ment. Looming large in the list of
complaints is the proximity of a
railroad line to certain Of the units
Mr.. Cogswell's Office said today it
would take several weeks before q
determination of the legal rent CELL
ing could be made, inasmuch as
reams of evidence have been SUBJ
mitted by both sides in the dis
pute.

Candidates Named
For Charter Board
By Commissioners
Three Of the Appointees
Have Opposed Move
For Government Chunoe

Five candidates for election to a
proposed charter board which woulC
study changes in the government OF
Montgomery County have been
nominated by. the Board of County
Commissioners.
A referendum on the question OF
whether the board shall be estab-
lished will be held coincident with
the election on November 8 il petit
tions now before the Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors are found to be in
order.
The commissioner action was
taken at a special session at Rock
vile yesterday. Three of those
nominated already are on record as
opposed to charter form Of gov
ernment. fourth Is the leader OF
charter proponents and the other
nominee has not publicly committed
himself.
Joseph A. Cantrel, counsel to the
commissioners, and j. Bond Smith
counsel to the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, both OF whom have bitterly
assailed the efforts of those seeking
a change to charter form of gov
ernment, were among the five nomi-
mated.
Another nominee is Roger J.
Whiteford, attorney. who told a
recent meeting of the Congress of
the United Democratic Organiza-
ton Of the County that "the char
ter form of government for Mont
gomery County won't let you keep
democracy"
The others are Allen H. Gardner,
chairman of the County Charter
Committee which has led all efforts
to bring about study of proposed
changes in government, and Otto
w. Anderson. county agricultural
agent, who so far has remained
aloof from the controversy.
The commissioners action was
taken day after Mr.. Garner had
presented the petitions to the elec-
ton supervisors. The names on the
petition are now being checked.
The only Republican member of
the Board of County Commissioners,
Walter Johnson. was absent yester-
day, and John E. Oxley. anti-organ-
ization Democrat, voted against the
nominations because he said ma
jority of those selected would nat
urally oppose any change proposed
by the Charter Committee"
The remaining members, all
Democrats. voted for the nomi-
nations. They are Board President
Thomas E. Hampton, r. Watt
Farmer and o. w. Roby.

District 0CD Officials
Complete Plans for
Third Control Test
Col. BolIes Satisfied
With Progress Of
Defense Program

Plans were completed for the
third phase of control center exer-
cises tomorrow night following a
"shake-down" meeting Of civilian
defense officials at the District
Building yesterday.
Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive di-
rector of District civilian defense,
who called the meeting, commented
that the actual functioning OF the
seven sub-centers was we'll advanced
mechanically, but the functioning
OF all elements was just getting
started.
He visualized the wardens who re-
port incidents, the control center
which receives them and the serv-
ices which dispatch equipment to
the scenes Of incidents as a team
which had to work together.
Defects Absent.
He noted no major deficiencies,
however, that could not be corrected
by training and repeated exercises
such as are now going forward.
For the test tomorrow night, all
warden posts will be covered, al
though not all of them will be called
upon to report incidents. The vari-
Gus dispatching services will assign
to duty only enough workers to
man the channel of communications
down to the actual dispatching off,
GER, who will not dispatch equip
ment, but will make a record of
the units that would have gone had
it been complete performance.
Doctors Scarce.
Chief difficulties brought up at
the meeting yesterday were the
unfamiliarity of wardens with the
forms used for reporting incidents,
the problems of priority officers in
deciding which incidents should be
given precedence and the scarcity
of doctors during the tests because
of their night Office hours.
Chief Air Raid Warden William
]. Mileham reported his assistant
chiefs would 60 out into the areas
to educate the wardens in report
ing incidents, and control center
officials said they planned to shade
maps OF the areas they covered to
point out the critical sections.

New Farm Machinery
Rationing Is Ordered
}, the Associated Press


Rationing of new farm machinery
and equipment was ordered today
by Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
Ito control the distribution of the
limited supply now on hand to
assure its greatest possible contri-
button toward meeting the goals
in our food-for-freedom program"
The order, effective today, will
govern sales for the rest of 1912
and Mr.. Wickard said it would be
followed later by an order regu-
lating 1943 sales.
Secretary Wickard explained that
because of military requirements,
particularly for steel, the amount
of materials which will be made
available for manufacture Of farm
machinery and equipment IN l943
will provide much less machinery
and equipment than will be needed" :"
Secretary Wickard placed Fred
S. Wallace, special War Board as
sistant, in charge of the national
rationing program and State war
boards Of the Agriculture Depart
ment were given charge of the
State programs. County rationing
committees will be established to
administer the plan in counties.

Oklahoma House Member
Auxiliary Policeman at No. 8
With Seven Children,
Long Hours Don't
Mean Much to Him

All the auxiliary police stationed
at No. 8 precinct may not know it,
but one of their buddies, the husky
fellow with the Western accent, is
a member of Congress.
Representative Ross Riley of
Oklahoma has done nothing to ad-
vertise the fact that his business
is on Capitol Hill. The only time
he mentioned it was when his home
at 6140 Thirty-first place NV. was
reached In a routine search for vol
unteers.
Il told them then" he said yes
terday, that my duties might inter-
fere once in while, but that long
hours didn't mean much to me.
They don't, you know, when you're
working to feed and educate seven
children"
Faithful to Duties Since.
That was back in February. Since
then Mr.. Ridley, who has practiced
law for Is years, has taken the re-
quired courses, attended meetings
except when late session kept
him on the Hill, and covered every
blackout except those last month,
when he was home in Oklahoma
seeing his constituents.
With neighbor, he patrols his
beat once a week. He explained
No. 8 requested him to do that,
probably just to keep in shape"
His longest patrol was the one the
night of the dark -to-dawn black
out, when he was on the street from
8 pm. to 2 am.
AS far as Mr. Riley is concerned,
being an auxiliary policeman is the
least he can do. His oldest son is
in the service, a son-in-law and
daughter are at Camp Bowie, Tex,
where the man is a corporal and
the girl is bookkeeper in the
quartermaster department, and a
son still in college is in the en-
listed reserve.
There's no reason in the world"
he said. why I shouldn't do some
thing, too, particularly when 1 was

Then there's another reason for
Mr.. Ridley to wear the overseas cap,

ings come, somebody's got to work
at civilian defense for their sake" "
AS for being a member Of Con-
gress. Mr.. Ridley said, When we're

ting the benefits of the District, we
should certainly have the same in
terest as everybody else in help

Upper Sixteenth Street
Express Bus Decision
Considered byP PUG
Hearing Ends; Plan to
Drop Alaska Avenue
Service Is Protested

With a record before 1t that is
weighted with conflicting figures
and arguments on how to conserve
tires and buses, the Public Utilities
Commission today considered its
answer to the proposal for express
service for upper Sixteenth street.
Hearings were concluded late
yesterday after spokesmen for $4,000
persons living in the Silver Spring
area protested against the proposed
abandonment of the Alaska avenue
section of the So bus.
Abandonment of this service be-
tween Georgia avenue and Sixteenth
street had been urged by PUG wit
neSses as means of forcing many
residents Of North Washington to
ride Georgia avenue streetcars in
stead of the proposed Sixteenth
street express buses.
Plan Not Flexible Enough.
General opposition to the pending
proposals as q whole was expressed
by r. w. Loyejoy, executive secre-
tary Of the Washington Regional
Committee OF Defense Transporta-
,tion Administrators, who told the
commission he could not see that the
plan was sufficiently flexible" to
conform to the riding habits Of the
public and doubted it would result
In any "rear saving in bus mileage.
Explaining there will be but q
limited amount of new bus equip
ment available, and that consid-
Grafton already is being given to
possibilities of pooling buses of all
companies, Mr.. Lovejoy said the
Sixteenth street express bus plan
was trend away from such pool
ing. He said the only merit he
could see in the plan, from the
viewpoint of the Ofice of Defense
Transportation, was its value in re-
ducing bus miles travelled.
Questioned by Hankin.
Under questioning by Gregory
Hankin, PUG member, Mr.. Love-
Joy agreed that one of. the objec-
tives of the ODT was to shunt bus
riders to rail services wherever pos
sible. Mr.. Hankin has been argu-
ling that abandonment of the up
per end Of the So line was neces-
sary to keep the proposed Sixteenth
street express buses from bleeding"
passengers from the Georgia ave-
nue. streetcars.
Protests of the Silver Spring rep
resentatives over the Alaska avenue
route elimination were presented
by Joseph E. Hayes OF the Allied
Citizens Committee.
He reported that his group found
that 1,274 Marylanders board Dis
trict buses at the Georgia avenue
terminal in the morning and that
1872 are discharged there in the
evening, to transfer to Maryland
shuttle buses or to private cars.
Mr.. Hayes declared the PUG
origin and destination survey fig
ures were not a correct basis for
decision and argued this was so, If
for no other reason, because many
thousands Of persons had been
transferred in Government jobs or
to military service since the PUG
| survey was compiled.
