Censorship Middle
Over Smuts' Speech
|rks British Press
English Papers Barred
From Printing Address
Broadcast by BIC

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 22.-The British
press determined today to have a
showdown in the House of Com
mons over alleged favoritism in
news releases to the British Broad
casting Corp.
This was the direct aftermath
Of the censorship muddle yester-
day which prevented British after
noon newspapers from printing the
speech by Field Marshal Jan Chris
tiaan Smuts of South Africa,
although it was being broadcast to
the United States and South Africa.
The press association, whose posi-
ton as a non-partisan news serv-
ice Is comparable to that of the As
sociated Press in the United States,
took the unprecedented step Of put
ting on Its wires a denunciation Of
typical lack of coordination" be-
tween government departments and
charged discriminatory treatment
of the press.
"A first class row is boiling up
said the press association, and Fleet
Street sources predicted that hot
questions would be put to Brendan
Bracken, who controls both the BIC
! and press censorship, at an early sit
ting of Commons.
On the asserted grounds OF Sc
curity, afternoon newspapers were
forbidden to say that Marshal Smuts
was speaking until he had finished
although American listeners had
been hearing his voice for an hour.
The press censors were not in
formed of the broadcast direct from
the hall where Marshal Smuts ad-
dressed members of Parliament al.
though it had been arranged hours
I in advance.
They even denied that there were
broadcasting facilities in the hal
when the news agencies protested
that Marshal Smuts was being heard
on the air The BBC,s home listen
ers, however, did not hear the speech
direct.

0PA Rationine Chief
Sounds Warning on
Chaotic Home Front
OIeory Sees individual
War Effort Frustrated
Without Stable Economy

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Paul NJ
O'Leary of the Office of Price Ad-
mlnlstration said to-day that no mat
ter how fervent the desire of an
individual to aid in winning the war,
all his efforts would "be frustrated
by a disorganized or chaotic home
front"
The OPA deputy administrator in
charge OF rationing. in an address
10 the American Municipal Associa-
TONS annual conference, asserted
that we have gone far enough in
this war to see that America is
solidly united in its determination
10 conquer its enemies, fact which
IN itself spells doom to the Axis
powers"
The problem of how best to carry
on the home front fight, however,
Mr.. OLeary said, sis not an easv
TASK, for no matter how fervent is
the desire of the individual to get
On with his part il the war, he can
nnd all his efforts frustrated by a
olsorganlzed or chaotic home front"
Ihe full force of his individual
eHort can be realized only when he
Is made to feel that every one is do
ing his part also; that sacrifices he
Is called on to make are being made
equally by every citizen: that his pay
envelope is not being rif1ed by int1a-
tion which wrecks his personal econ
omy as well as the Nations; that he
is sharing fairly in goods available
Tor civilian use after war needs are
met, and that his Government will
not permit him to be gouged in his
rent and other living costs by those
seeking excessive profits.
These feelings are part of the
very heart and soul of our war et-
Tort, Tor they constitute the strength
or weakness of our home front. They
are the reason why the Office OF
Price Administration was created,
and every action of the OPA since
1t was established has been directly
related to these problems"
Mr.. OLeary said that the OPA's
work "of maintaining a stable ma
tlonal economy that will permit the
war production machine to func-
tlon at top speed falls into three
divisions:
General price control as the di-
rect halter on the cost of living, and
one of the most important factors
in checking imitation;
"Rationing, to make scarce COM
modities equally available to all our
citizens, or to see that they are
used to the best advantage in our
war effort, and,
Rent control. to prevent gouging
OF our war workers and others as
a result of vastly increased de-
manos for living quarters, due to
the war"

NEA Urges Salary Boost

Terming teachers here the lowest
paid of any professional workers, the
National Education Association has

Rooms are becoming more
plentiful in war-crowded Wash
ington for men, but women and
girls are still having trouble
finding desirable living accom-
modations, it was disclosed to-
day by the National Housing
Agency.
For that reason, MIA, in cooper
alton with the District War Hous-'
ing Center, is planning an intensive
campaign designed to break down
the barrier that is keeping women
war workers out of rooms in private
homes which the owners are willing
to rent to men. Women's organiza-
tons are to be urged to aid the
movement.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
shortage of space for girls will be
relieved somewhat in March, when
more than 5000 rooms in the IL new
Government dormitories are ex-
pected to be available.
Construction is being rushed on
these buildings, the Federal Works
Agency said. They are to be located
in Arlington, West Potomac Park,
Suitland and Langston Stadium.
Delays due to wartime shortage of
materials and transportation may
hold up. completion, officials said,
but it Is hoped the first of the new
quarters will be ready early in
March.
Hundreds of applications are be-
ing received already, according to
William J. Bissell, residence man
ager, who has an Office in the North
Interior Building. He will move his
Office soon to the main dormitory
building at Arlington.
Rent will be about $24.5O for a
single room. Each occupant OF a
double room will pay from $3.50
to $24.50. There are more single
than double rooms because officials
have gone on the theory that most
girls want a single room.
In the Arlington Residence Halls
there will be 1850 rooms; at Suit
land, 500; at West Potomac Park,
1888, and atiLangston Stadium for
colored, 848.
The increase in living quarters,
particularly for men, according to
MIA and real estate authorities
who have kept a close check on
the housing situation, Is the direct
result of appeals to owners of pri-
vate homes to rent all spare rooms
not to any curtailment in Govern
znent personnel or a reduction in
the large force of Army and Navy
officers on duty in Washington.
Many Owners Respond.
Many people, both for patriotism
and profit, have opened their homes
to war workers and thereby eased
the housing shortage" said Joseph
P. Anderson. acting director of the
District War Housing Center. which
now has register of 1000 available
rooms
| Charles j. Rush, executive secre-
tary of the Washington Real Estate
Board. shared the. same opinion.
There continues to remain, Of
course, an acute shortage of apart
ments and individual family hous-
ing units, despite new defense hous-
ing construction in nearby Mary
land and Virginia.
OF the 1000 vacant rooms listed in
the war housing center's register,
there are accommodations for about
600 women. And there are less than
100 single rooms among these &C
commodations for 800,
"Landladys prefer men," is the
only explanation Mr. Anderson could
offer for this situation. Men ap-

1913 Registered
For Draft in /
18-Year Group
D. c. Total Now 1853;
Final Figure Seen
Below Estimate

A total of 8l8 youths registered TO,
the draft in the public schools yes
terday, raising the registration figure
among 18-year-olds to 1,758 in the
first two weeks of the scheduled
three-week enrolment.
Indications were that the final
figure, after local board registrations
during the last week of the month
are included, will fall substantially
below the estimate of $500 set by
District draft officials
Heavy enlistments. far beyond the
10 per cent expected, accounted for
the low registration figures, draft
officials believe.
Transfers May Raise Figure.
The final figure, however, may be
raised considerably by the transfer
of registration cards from other
States. A number of District youths,
it was believed, are attending pre-
paratory schools and colleges in
other cities.
Although in previous registrations
more cards have been sent from
here to other cities than were re-
ceiVed at District draft headuuar-
tiers, 1t was believed that the oppo-
site would be true of this registrar
ton.
Youths who failed to register yes
terday were reminded that they may
fill out their registration cards at
their local boards through Thurs
day afternoon of this week.
From Saturday until December 81
youths whose 18th birthday ami
versary falls in November or De-
cember may register at their local
boards. A number of this group,
however, have already registered in
the schools as they were requested
to do.
Some registrations have already
been received by local boards, al
though they have not averaged
more than 10 to a board.
Yesterdays registration may have
been lighter than last weeks. when
$40 boys registered, because in some
schools all students were registered
