to realize that the judgment of the rent director is prescribed by the rent regulations and while it is his function to interpret and admins
 ter them, he is now empowered to change them"
 Even in cases where there is evil dence of hardship and where an upward adjustment of rent would grant relief, the rent director must abide by the specific provisions of the rent control law, the regulations and policy interpretations issued by the Washington office.
 Provision is made for a regular method of protest against regu- lation or order, but landlords peti- ticns must be filed within sixty days after the order is issued" BowleS added.
 In the case of a protest based upon condidtionS arising at the end of the sixty-day period, after an order has been issued, the protest may be filed at any time after the grounds for such protest arise.
 If the rent director has made a recommendation to which the land- lord takes exception, he may file written objections, but if he does not file written evidence within per- iod of time specified by the rent director, and order based on the original recommendation may be entered.
 Provision is also made for the fil- ing of tenants applications with the area rent office. The applica- tion must contain the name and post office address of the applicant and the landlord, the location of the housing accommodations, the relief sought, the facts upon which the petition for relief is based and such other information as the ad- shall require. One orig lnal and one copy of each applica- ton must be filed.

 There are definite limitations placed upon the area rent direc- tors in reviewing cases which come under the rent regulations" assert ed Bowles.

tary machines which Uncle Sam is

Chow is it to be in the army?

ing, marching to heaven knows
where. At such a moment, and

myself and think What is everybody

career we have
watched the making of over 5000, 900
feet of sports pictures, to discover
how much the right and wrong an
giles meant. This goes for ball
game, a horse race, and stance
in golf. 1t goes for any game.
If the camera is set at the wrong
angle, only by few feet, the pic
ture will tell an untrue story. The
same is true of the human eye. Or
the inhuman eye.
At race track, if you are not
dead set on the finish line you can
easily disagree by half length or
even length with the testimony of
the camera which is aimed directly
at the wire. Every horseman knows
that.

Trained umpires are supposed to
be in the correct spots for correct
decision. They can make mistakes,
being only human.
Managers and ball players on the
bench are not in the right spot to
call any decision correctly. If the
bench were the right place, then
umpires would be sitting on the
bench and not standing around on
the ball field.
Using two examples, Messrs Du-
rocher and F'risch know this. They

U. S. farmers are doing so well
that government credit agencies re-

gage payments than they are lend
ing out. Also, many farmers are
building up reserve funds against
debts in the postwar period.
The marine corps has quietly
abandoned its high-powered drive to

of them didn't measure up to the

pirical explosions are used largely
in behalf of the old aIibi. They are
employed to cover up mistakes or de-
feats in connection with critical
crowds.
There is a belief also that crowds
like scrappy baseball. Crowds do.
But crowds would rather see the
battle between two teams-the speed
and brains of a Ty Cobb, the brains
and power of Babe Ruth or Lou
Gehrig or a Ted Williams thrown
against the other team, not against
the umpires.
A ball player who bats 1888 is
above the average. Yet, that means
he is a flop two-thirds of the time.
Umpires make mistakes, but not
as many mistakes as managers and
ball players make-if you happen to
look at the daily box scores.
The greatest pitcher that ever
lived-Walter Johnson, never had
an argument with an umpire. He
was concentrating on the main job
pitching-nOt on some umpire's de-
cision. Among few other pretty
fair country pitchers in this respect
1 might include Christy Mathewson,
Cy Young, Grover Cleveland Alex
ander, Ed Walsh, Mordecai Brown.
I've never seen a great pitcher
who was an umpire fighter. No
one is great enough to split his con-
centration-to look out first for the
alibi.

The Ball Players Pick

Ball players know what can hap
pen between June and October
They are not the best guessers in
the world-but who is? In talking
over the two big league campaigns
with managers and veterans-we'n
leave the younger fellows out-this
is the way they figure the two races:
American League-The Yankees
chased by the Red Sox and the In
dams.
National League-Another red-hOt
all-summer stretch run between
Dodgers and the Cardinals.
This was majority vote, by a
wide margin, from the dozen or
more respected opinions sought
No one expects Lou Boudreau's
Indians to hold the dizzy pace they
offered the league through the first
few weeks. The material, minus
Bobby Teller, isn't that good. But
Boudreau has turned in great job
so far. So has Joe Cronin.
Yankees, Dodgers and Cardinals
began the season with the better
teams-much better teams. They
were the headline entries.
I still think either Dodgers or Car
dinals will meet the Yankees in the
next World series-providing, of
course, there is next world series.
But through the remainder of the
race it seems to me managers and
ball players will show more COM
mon sense in concentrating their at
tack on rival teams, and not on UNI
pires who are seldom responsible
for the mistakes managers and ball
PLAYERS make.

WTNKLER TO
TALK ON REICH

In the February issue of the
American magazine "a book
length feature story appears,
-Four Years OF Nazi Tor
ture," by Ernest Winkler.
The author comes to New
ark, Sunday, Jan. 1S, and will
speak in Labor hall at II a.
m. sharp.
In the American magazine
he tells of torture under the
lash and knife, and bares the
CHASTITY record of the persecu-
ton of German Christians un-
der Hitler.
Winkler, a former German
officer, served four and one
half years in a Concentration
camp as leader of the CathO-
lie Youth Movement in Ger
many. He finally made his es-
cape to Switzerland.
Followed there by the Gesta-
pO, Winkler and his wife made
their way to Spain. Still
followed, Sir Samuel HOare,
British ambassador to Spain,
helped them to escape to the
United States.
