Warehouse Dorrnitory
For Other Quarters
CoeswelI Rent Cut Order
Followed by Vocotine
Agreement With Owner

The 1873 Signal Corps enlisted mer,
who learned yesterday that Rent
Control Administrator Robert F.
Cogswell had intervened in their
case to order the rent they pay for
living in converted warehouse cut
from $40 to $3.50 a month will
evacuate their dormitory Saturday
for better quarters.
William r. Lichtenberg, attorney
for Ferdinand M. Ney, wholesale
liquor dealer who has been receiving
1850 q month from the soldiers
said today a mutual agreement
had been reached between his client
and Army of1cials that the group
vacate the warehouse in the 4l0C
block of Georgia avenue NV.
The men have been sleeping and
studying in the two-story building
since August. Mr.. Cogswell said
yesterday the $40 a month each man
paid Mr.. Ney was too high for the
facilities offered and ordered a. $7.5C
reduction.
Mr.. Lichtenberg said the ware
house no longer would be used fol
housing purposes. This decision
he added, had been in the making
for some time previous to the Cogs-
well ruling, though he admitted Mr.
Ney might have taken the chance
OF carrying on" if the rent had re-
mained $40.
Capt. H. R. Clapp, jr., officer in
charge of the Signal Corps unit
confirmed the decision of Army au-
thorities and reported that places
for the men were being found in
boarding houses and homes in the
vicinity of the school,
He said that the coming of colder
weather had forced them to give up
the warehouse. I'VE feared for the
health of the men," he said.. Later
on the Army may move the entire
school group to nearby area where
they can be under one roof.
Mr.. Cogswell asserted that the &C.
commodations offered the men had
been "at best mere shelter"
Mr. Llchtenberg said that one of
the important reasons for ending
the housing project was the fact
the rental term was 80 indefinite. ;
He also said it was impractical tc
expend money for heating and other
equipment which the rent admins
traitor found was lacking in the

Henderson Attacked
As Enemy Of Farmer
By Grange Official
Agriculture Commissioners
Hear OPA Chief Blamed
For + Food Situation
BY the Associated Press.

Ralph W. Moore, legislative chair
man of the National Grange, de-
clared last night "the White House
and Leon Henderson" were respon-
Sible for ANY threat of imitation
and something ought to be done"
about the chief of the Office Of
Price Administration.
Speaking to the convention of
the National Association of State
Agriculture Commissioners and
Secretaries, Mr.. Moore asserted:
Henderson is dagger in the
farmers back. The danger of food
shortage in the United States lies
at the door of Henderson and the
White House. One of the greatest
things that could happen to the
United States today would be the
impeachment of Leon Henderson,
SO that the farmers would be PROM
ised fair treatment"
Criticizing Mr.. Hendersons price
fixing policies, Mr.. Moore said,
They're trying to regulate prices at
the source with all the profit oc-
curing on an article after it leaves
the source.
I'VE face the gravest food short
age in the history Of the United
States.
For example, Texas grew 20 per
cent less food than last year be-
cause the price didn't justify the
gathering of it.
In 1884. Henry Wallace (then
Secretary of Agriculture, now Vice
President) said in Dallas that the
parity price on cotton would be II
cents. An Agriculture Department
bulletin in 1887 said that the parity
price would be ITO cents and in
August, 1912, it would be 1885 cents.
If that's all the difference in price,
we're long ways from imitation
and all the scare is uniustif1ed."
