1t had appealed to the Controller
General for action to eliminate
confusion, disorganization and lack
OF uniformity in the renegotiation

The institute. through its Execu-

in renegotiation of a contract a
manufacturer may be subjected to
settlements with these four agencies
which have been arrived at by diff
lerent parties with separate meas
urements of cost and with inde-
pendent conceptions of profits and
prices.
Members OF the committee said
their protest represented no dis
positions to question the Govern
ment's opposition to excessive war

Striking Landlords
Warned by California
Rent-ControI Chief
Refusal to Abide by
Law Is Subversive
Conduct, Official Says
By the Associated Press.

by lHt ASsDCldteQ HreSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-C. S.
Crittenden, district director of the
rent control Office. told landlords of
the booming silipbuilding town of
Vallejo that he considered their
strike against rent control regula-
tions as subversive conduct.
Organized landlords of Vallejo re-
belled against the regulations yes
terday and adopted a resolution
stating that they would refuse to
recognize the rules and regulations
of the OPA and we separately and
collectively strike" in regard to spe-
cific rents.
OPA attorneys said landlords would
face both civil and criminal action
should they attempt to raise rents
illegally or violate any other clause
Of the Federal rent control law.
Meanwhile. the California Apart
ment House Conference, represent
ing l3 apartment house associations,
disclosed it had put itself on record
as opposed to methods and manners
Of rent control administration and
that it expected to petition Congress
for modification of the law.
Mr.. Crittenden denied there was
any concerted support behind the
Vallejo action.
"A few are disgra cling the city by
following an apparently we'll organ
lied campaign to discredit the law"
he said. They say they will refuse
to abide by the rules adopted by
Congress. They will rise above the
law.
Such action would be reprehen-
sible in peacetime. In wartime it
is subversive conduct. 1t should be
gedarded as such"

indicated by WPB spokesmen at the

porters. A representative of WPB's

not get around to discussing meth
DDS OF curtailment at the morning
