Tenants at Henderson Castle
Fight Increase in Rent, Board
Management Accused Of Already
Exceeding Rates on January |, 1941

the castle completely or of obtaining
an increase in the minimum rents.
1t was brought out that the in
crease sought ever the present rents
is IS cents per person per day for
rooms and 10 cents per person per
day for meals.
Under questioning by Ernest
Henry, general counsel for the rent
administrator, MI Hannah conceded
that the rents now being charged
are in excess of those in effect on
January /, 1871, the date on which
rents in the District were frozen.
40 Per Cent Increase.
Mr.. Hannah then revised his
figures to show that the actual in
crease over the one prevailing on
the freezing date would be q cents
per person per room and % cents
per person for meals. This, he said,
represents about 40 per cent in
crease. He had stated earlier that
the increase in expenses since jan
uary l, 194l, was also about 40 per
cent.
The question of whether the rent
increases which have been in effect
since the beginning of the District
Rent Control Law should be re-
funded to the tenants on the ground
that they were illegally charged was
brought up during the course of the
hearing. Examiner Leonard S. Hayes,
representing Administrator Robert
F. Cogswell, indicated that this mat
ter would be taken up more broadly
during the course of the proceedings.
Harry S. Wender represented most
OF the tenants at the hearing.
Henderson Castle is at 22OO Six

Meat Ration Program
Feared Impaired as
we Enrolment Laqs
Officials Push Campaign
To Enlist Women for
Civilian Defense Areas

Predicting that effectiveness Of
the voluntary meat-rationing pro-
| gram opening November 80 will be
impaired by the failure of. local
women to enlist in the Victory VOL
unteer Corps, civilian defense Of
flcials for the Metropolitan Area
today announced plans for con-
tinuing the VIC membership drive
Registrations will be accepted
until 5 pm. daily and until pm
Tuesday at the Civilian Defense
Volunteer Office at 1924 F street
NV. A downtown registration until
pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays and
until 5 pm. on other weekdays.
Women may also enrDu for VIC
service with any of the mobilization
chairmen of The 66 local civilian
defense areas. A.list of these chair
men was published in last Sundays
Star.
Less Than 1000 Register.
The general registration Tuesday.
| which was expected to produce
about 10000 Victory Volunteers. was
described today by Miss Helene
Moore, executive assistant in the
CDVO, as very unfortunate.
Fewer than 1000 women regis
tered, although Al special registra.
ton booths stated by $50 trained
workers remained open from 10 am.
until 8 pm.
At some booths, Miss Moore re-
ported, only three or four persons
signed up during the entire day"
The CDVO official attributed the
dismal failure of the general regis
tration to good war news and to
the lack of understanding by the
public of the importance of the
volunteer corps.
Most people are very busy and
have to be convinced that a thing is
important before they will 60 out
! and do something about it." she
said
Experience has shown also that
when war news is good. people are
apt to be little bit apathetic," it
was declared.
Drive to Be Impaired.
Inc voluntary meat ratiOning
program, which is to begin through
out the Nation on November 30. will
not be delayed by the breakdown of
the local VIC drive. In many areas
here, however, the Victory volunteer
groups will not be organized in time
to participate ano the effectiveness
OF the drive will be seriously i'm
paired. Miss Moore said.
Ihlrty-tWo civilian defense areas
in which VIC registrations have
been especially light in proportion
to the need were listed by the CDVO
office as follows:
American University Park, Ana
costa, Barry Farms, Benning,
BrlghtWood, Capitol View, Chillum
Heights, Columbia Heights, Con-
necticut Avenue.
Crestwood, Dupont Circle, Gar
field, Hampshire Heights, Hillcrest.

Henderson Castle, once a gather
ing place of the great and near
great, today was the center of feud
between tenants and management
over a proposed increase in rentals
Of q cents per day for each room
and % cents per day for board.
The dispute was brought out in
hearing conducted by the District
rent control administrator, after L.
A. Detterer and Mrs. Ethel K Alli-
son, leassees of the once famous
residence and operators of a board
ing house on the premises, filed
petitions for the increases. They
are seeking to increase rentals of
IS tenants.
Mrs. Allison testified that food
costs and other expenses had risen
to a point where it became impos-
slble to operate the place without
loss unless higher rentals were
charged. She said that her food
bill alone for January, 1912, was
sl,292, as compared to 1898 for jan
uMry. l941; that for June. 1912. it
was sl,367. as against 1888 for June
of last year, and that last month
her food costs ran to 1888, COM
pared to s946 for October a year ago.
Mindful of Problem.
William T. Hannah. attorney for
the managers, said, his clients were
mindful of the fact there is a hous-
ing problem in the District.
1--WE are doing all we can to keep
things running smoothly-above all
to keep things running" he declared.
Mr.. Hannah pointed out that his
clients now face a choice of closing

All Possible RecapS
For Essential Drivinu
Promised by Jeffers
Law on Tire SoIes
By Independent Dealers
Opposed at Hearing
By ]. O. O'LEARY.

William Jeffers, rubber admin
istrator, assured the Senate Bank
ing Committee today the Govern
ment is going to get "all the tire
recapping done that we can for es-
sential driving" but opposed legis-
lation at this time to lay down
specific program for the sale of tires
by independent dealers.
Testifying on bill that would
direct him to provide 100000 re-
tread tires year to be sold to per-
sons who turn in an old tire, Mr..
Jeffers declared:
Il am very much in favor of keep
ing the little businessman in busi-
ness, but, by and large, 1 doubt the
necessity for legislation at this
time"
Later he said it would be mis-
take to pass legislation that would
stop me from using all the equip
ment available to get this job done
I am afraid this bill would have
that effect"
He explained that the bill was
introduced before the Government
called for the turning in of all tires
in exces of five for one car. The
aim will be, he said, to get as many
of these turned-in tires as possible
retreaded and back into use.
1t is anybody's guess how many
tires will be turned in," he testified.
Il have heard figures all the way
from 100000 to 10000 I would
guess 100000.
Mr.. Jeffers agreed with Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio that re-
treaded tires should be available to
essential workers.
Failure to keep this country on
rubber for essential driving would
be equal to a military disaster" Mr..
Jeffers said.
Senator Taft and Mr.. Jeffers ap-
peared to have different informa-
ton as to whether Price Adminis-
trtor Henderson plans to appoint
force of $4,000 tire inspectors. The
Senator said he had seen that state
ment in press release, and asked:
Wouldn't 1t be better to let the
independent dealers do the inspect
ing than to appoint a large force?"
Mr.. Jeffers said he understood
that Is the way it is to be done,
largely by having the motorist go
to the dealer who ordinarily would
look after the tires.
That was not the impression I
got from the press release" 6ena-
