Put in |ndianhead
Defense Rent Area
Woogerd to Supervise
New Control Zone
Effective Sunday

All of Charles County, Md, will
be placed in the Indian Head defense
rental area, effective Sunday, and
rents there will be under the super
vision of James w. Woogerd, area
rent director for Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, the Office
of Price Administration announced
today.
Mr., Woogerd, whose main area
Office is at ZIG Carroll avenue, Ia
koma Park, will open branch Offices
in Indian Head and La Plata. One
of the first tasks to be performed,
Mr.. Woogerd said, will be the regis
tration of all living quarters in
Charles County, probably beginning
about the middle of next month";
When you pay your November
rent" the area director told Charles
County residents, whether for a
house, apartment, room, tourist
camp or cabin, the rent can be nc
higher than it was last March for
the same quarters, no matter who
was living in them at the time
Chief exception to this overall rule
comes when the accommodations
have been substantially altered by
the landlord by making a major
capital improvement since March /.
you don't have to get permission
from your landlord to make a cut
in the rent for your quarters if put
| ting rents back to March /, 1912
gives you reduction. This reduc-
tion is automatic on the effective
date of OPA's maximum rent regu-
lation on November /. Nor is it nee
essary to consult with your landlord
before making a cut"
Mr.. Woogerd left a position as
senior reviewer of the Home Loan
Bank Board in June to accept the
rent directors Office. His record in
handling the affairs of that area
the registration of dwelling units
in those counties, the dispatch with
which he has handled complaints
and adjustments, led OPA officials
in Washington to place the opera
ton of rent control in Charles
County under his direction, the OPA
said.

Women relatives of present men
employees are being told of the
planned experiment, an official said
yesterday. Women would be used
first on cars having both a motor

on cars having only a motorman-
or motorwoman.
Loss of men to the armed forces
Is the reason. Women were en-
ployed during the World War, but

DeIco PatroImen
Request Election

An overwhelming majority of
plant patrolmen, at the Delco
Products Division, of GIN, have
requested the UE-CIO to bargain
for them. A petition has already
been filed with the National Labor
Relations Board, requesting an
election.
It is expected that the Board
will act rapidly on the Unions
petition, and an election should be
held within the next few weeks.
The UE has established a separate
Local for the plant patrolmen in
Dayton. The Local has already
secured bargaining rights for
Frigidaire patrolmen, and a con-
tract is being negotiated with
management.
Affiliation of Delco patrolmen
with those of Frigidaire will
establish a real Union for en-
p1oyees of the Plant Protection
Department in these two large
GIN plants. Improved conditions,
real security, and effective repre-
sentation will result in benefits
to every employee of the Depart
ment. I
"We Frigidaire Patrolmen are
happy indeed to welcome our
fellow patrolmen of Delco Prod
ucts," stated Clarence Atchley,
President of Local ITO. Together
we can 60 forward toward win
ming new gains, while contribu-
ting our best efforts to win the
war"
Organization has meant many
advantages to the average worker
in the industrial plants of this
nation. Advantages that only close
cooperation among the workers
has attained. The Patrolmen have
seen the benefits that our Union
has meant and are anxious to be-
come a part of the bargaining unit.

town who is idyllically in love with
CaSsandra Tower. He is driven al
most mad as he watches the girl
driven actually mad by her fathers
fear for her mental health. And
Drake McHugh, a good, healthy
bouncing adolescent animal who is
driven to drink, and eventually to
tragic inyalidism. by the righteous
ness of the Gordons who refuse to
let him marry their daughter. And
the daughter, herself, who becomes
a cerebral wreck in the loss of the
man she loved. but not so much as
she feared her mad father.
Mr.. Bellaman was feeling very
morbid, more Russian than a Rus
sian of the old school, about his
doctors. Some of his young people,
however, are solid and admirable.
The Mitchell lad is always good to
see. but most especially appealing
is the east-of the water tower Irish
lass played by Ann Sheridan. Her
segments of the story always do
marvels with respect to abating the
general gloom, as do those of her
brogue- -tinged father and old Col.
Skefhngton, the towns venerable
philosopher, and the gentle grand
mother of the Mitchell boy.
Director Wood, who has a neat
way Of finding the humanity or the
inhumanity in his characters, gets
excellent interpretations Oh those in

Sheridan, Ronald Reagan and Betty
Field are entirely praiseworthy as
the four important young people
bent upon happiness, but even more
effective are the portraits of the
two terrifying physicians by Charles

in mood nicely contrasted with the
gloom of the picture. Its headliner
is Jerry Cooper, radio vocalist, who
ripples through few popular bal
lads, supplemented by George Prem
tice and his puppets. Punch and
Judy, and the Arthur Murray
dancers.
The Roxyettes open and close the
