Viehy Denies Protest Hif
Principle Of Allied Raids
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, Unoccupied France, Sept.
10.-An authorized source said today
that vichys protest to the United
States of bombings in Occupied
France was not against the principle
of allied military operations in the
occupied zone.
Rather, he said,' it was aimed at
French civilian losses which the
Vichy government considered out of
proportion to the military attain
ments of the raids.
The spokesman said the bone of
contention was the use of high
flying planes like Flying Fortresses
over population centers, and in re-
spect to the danger to civilians he
compared these operations unfavor-
ably with those of dive bombers.
IF the Allies do not have material
to wage this kind of war under mod
ern conditions let them abstain from
it," he remarked.
Some circles felt that the French
American strain over the bombings
may have been eased somewhat by
the spokesman's words.

Charges Landlords Take Advantage
Of LoophoIes in District Law

Warning that mandatory legis-

District rent control administrator
authority to cope with an ominous
situation regarding business prop
critics, was voiced in the House today
by Representative Ludlow, Democrat,
of Indiana.
He charged that ''mercenary own
ers OF business properties in the Dis
trict are taking advantage of the
war emergency to increase the rents
OF their properties to an inordinate
extent, in some instances as much as
100 per cent. The United States

.0PA Power 10 Block
Higher Utility Rates
Proposed by Norris
Senator Cites Cos Case
Here; Urges Action to
Prevent InfIution
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The Office of Price Admins
tration would be empowered to
prevent public utility rate in
creases here or throughout the
country by a bill introduced this
afternoon by Senator Norris, in
dependent, of Nebraska.
In offering the bill he defended
the action of OPA officials in inter-
vening in the pending Washington
Gas Light Co. rate case, before the
District Public Utilities Commits
sion, but said he understood they
had been politely kicked out the
window"
Senator Norris said he did not
contend that OPA should have
control Of specific rate schedules,
but that Congress should 60 as far
as the Canadian law, which pro-
vides that no local regulatory body
can increase utility rates without
the consent of the Overall Price
Control Board for Canada. He in
dicated his bill followed that plan.
IF we are going to prevent infia-
tlon," said the Nebraskan, "the Of
flee of Price Administration must
have control over everything that
enters into the daily cost of living"
Otherwise he said, if rates for
gas, electricity or transportation
were Increased, the workers could
argue that their present wages,
would not meet the higher living
costs, and price control would get
out of hand.
Before turning his argument to
the District gas rate case, Senator
Norris told of having written to
Administrator Leon Henderson on
August IL, asking for data as to
utility rate increase applications
pending throughout the country. He
read Mr.. Henderson's reply, point
ing out that although utilities we're
exempted from the Price Control
Act, his Office had intervened in a
number of cases and had succeeded
in persuading some of the COM
panies to withdraw applications.
Senator Norris told his colleagues
he understood the Washington Gas
Light case is due to be decided to-
morrow.

Report in Brief
Seven Bosic Aims
Are Submitted
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Seven basic recommendations
were made today by the Rubber
Investigating Committee in its re-
port to President Roosevelt.
Prefacing its recommendations
with the admonition that the Ma
ton faces discomfort or defeat"
the committee urged:
l.. That no speed above IS miles
an hour be permitted for passenger
cars and trucks. 0n this way the
life of tires will be prolonged by
nearly 40 per cent?
2. That the annual average mile
age per car now estimated as $500
be held down to 5000. reduction
Of about Is per cent. (This does
not mean that each person has a
right to 5000; 1t applies to neces-
sary driving)
3. That more rubber than is now
given to the public be released to
maintain, by recapping or new
tires, necessary civilian driving.
4. That a new rationing system
of gasoline be devised, based on this
5000 miles year, to save tires.
5. That the restrictions as to gas
oline and mileage be national in
their application.
6. That compulsory periodic tire
inspection be instituted.
Z. That a voluntary tire conserva-
tion program be put into effect until
gasoline rationing can be estab-
lished.

today before Chairman Randolph of
the House District Committee. Rent
Administrator Cogswell has received
mass of complaints from victims
of the squeeze-shopkeepers, law
yers, doctors and others, and it is
not going too far, I think, to state
that mandatory legislation may be
proposed"
Mr.. Ludlow called this "a form of
imitation which, unless it is effec-
lively handled, may soon get out of
bounds" He explained that "un-
fortunately the Rent Control Act
gives no authority to Rent Admin
istrator Cogswell to control this
situation. Under the law he can
deal only with residential prop
critics."
