Rubber Collections
Below Expectations
Here, Officials Say
PIon Abandoned to
Close Filling Stotions
To Aid in Campaign

Horace Walker, secretary OF the
District Salvage Committee, said
today that incomplete reports on
the Presidents scrap rubber
campaign showed that $4,000
pounds have been collected in
Washington so far, but that the
amount is not anywhere near
what we anticipated"
Mr.. Walker made the statement
after meeting with directors of the
salvage drive and representatives of
the gasoline dealers, shoe repair
shops and auto industry.
The group decided not to adopt a
suggestion that filling stations re-
main closed for one day this week TO
permit attendants to canvass nearby
neighborhoods for scrap rubber.
Instead. they agreed to request
each station to have an attendant
on hand from 9 am. to pm. next
Sunday to receive rubber contribu-
tions from persons who have ran
sacked their households during the
week end. Most stations normally
are closed on Sunday.
Pickup Service Begun.
Under this plan the attendant
would provide no filling station
service, but would be on hand mere
ly to receive rubber donations.
Mr.. Walker pointed out that the
figures on collections to date do not
include contributions brought to
shoe repair shops, police stations,
firehouses and garages. -Four char
ity organizations today began the
round of those depots.
Nor does it include scrap sold to
commercial rubber dealers.
Mr.. Walker said that when the
campaign began. officials hac
thought contributions would tota
around 10000 pounds a day. At that

Objections Outlined
In Petition Against
LoW-Cost Houses
Michigan Furk Citizens
Fear Value Depreciation
If Project Goes Through

A summary of objections to the
Alley Dwelling Authority's plan to
build low cost houses on the Klein
and Pfluger tracts was compiled
last night in a petition to be circu-
lated in the Michigan Park area
by the special committee of the
Michigan Park Citizens Association.
The committee, under the chair
manship of Clyde E. Vincent, stated
that Michigan Park wanted no low
cost housing project whatsoever be-
cause homes in the area averaged
$4,000 to $1,000 above those plan
ned; that such a project would ma
terially depreciate value of their
homes, causing financial loss; that
houses under the zoning laws must
be residential "a" and some in the
project had called for twin and
quadruple houses; that the section
is 80 to 95 per cent owned by persons
occupying the homes, while the
project would consist of renters,
and thatt transportation problems,
already bad, would become further
congested if the Alley Dwelling AL
thority built houses in the area.

such determination is being estab-
lished by the board, the landlord
would be required to repay the ten
ant all excess rent during the pc
riod and if the landlord failed to
pay such amounts the tenant would
be given credit against any rent
subsequently due.
On the other hand, if the board
determines the fair and reasonable
rent in excess of the amount having
been paid by the tenant, the latter
would be required to pay the
amount due the landlord during the
period of the boards establishment
of the normal rent.
Appeals of the boards decisions to
the Circuit or Corporation Courts
could be taken by the landlord or
tenant within 10 days after normal
rent is established.
The bill also provides: ANY pro-
vision in any lease or other agree
ment, written or oral, for the pay
ment of rent for a dwelling, an
amount exceeding the fair and rea-
sonable rent previously determined,
shall be contrary to public policy
and such lease or agreement shall

acute housing shortage and where
unfair, unreasonable, oppressive
rents or rental agreements are being
exacted" He may amend, revoke or
order a gradual relaxation of rent
regulations in any area.
The Governor would, after declar-
ing an emergency in any area, ap-
point a local board of five members
and designate a chairman, all OF
whom would be residents of the area
over which they have jurisdiction.
Not less than two board members
would be owners and taxpayers on
real property, familiar with real
property management and mainte-
nance. No member should sit in any
case in which he or his family is
interested.
If five members proved inadequate
the Governor could appoint addi-
tional members to serve under the
same chairman but to exert control
over other divisions of the rent
control area.
Rules of evidence prevailing in
courts of law would not be binding
and written conclusions of law or
findings of fact would be made to
the Governor.
Each board would have the power
to use the services of Federal. State
or local agencies and of the volun-
tary and uncompensated services of
private persons or groups" Power
also would be granted to compel by
subpoena the attendance of wit
nesses and the production of peril
nent evidence relating to any matter
under investigation and to sue and
be sued with respect to such matters.
Would Fix Rent Date.
The local boards could determine
a normal rent date" based on the
latest date at which rental condi-
tionS of the area, or of the class of
dwellings to be regulated. had not
yet been affected by the national
defense program.
The normal rent would be de-
termined by the amount paid on the
normal rent date plus any additional
amount allowed by the board for in
creased maintenance or operating
costs and general rise in taxes
The board would be required to
determine the fair and reasonable
rent to be paid upon petition of
either the landlord or tenant, after
notice to the other party and after
hearing has been held. The normal
rent determined would be prima
facie the fair and reasonable rent
and the burden of proof would be
upon the party seeking to establish
a different rent rate.
No landlord or tenant would be
entitled to determination of fair
and reasonable rent if any lease.

transfer was made on or before the

could determine the fair and reason

At the time of the emergency
proclamation, no landlord in the
affected areas could increase rent
until after the board had determined
higher fair and reasonable rate.

RICHMOND, March 7.-Seeking
to head off possible Federal control
of rents in Virginia, the House of
Delegates yesterday suspended its
rules to pass the FenWick bill au-
thorizing the Governor to proclaim
an emergency to establish rent-con-
troll areas and appoint local emer-
gency rent boards.
Reported as a substitute for the
original bill, the measure was unani-
mously passed and sent to the Sem

to add as co-patronS the names Of

the legislation. The subcommittee
Rosenberg of Alexandria, William
Mel. Ferguson of Newport News and
James N. Garrett of Portsmouth.
The Federal Government can
now take over any area of the State
and establish rent control and fix
ceilings on rents, unless the State
interveneS within so days" Mr.. Fen
wick told the House. Shortly before
the deadline for the introduction of
general legislation I learned the
Federal Government planned to
come into Virginia and establish
rent-control area near Hampton
Roads. There was some doubt in
my mind whether the defense legis-
lation we have already passed would
be sufficient to cover the situation,
so, with the Governors consent I
hastily prepared legislation at the
last minute.
Agitated for Nearby Area.
Agitation for rent control has been
IN progress in the Alexandria -Arl-
ington-FairfaX area for nearly two
years. Under the old civilian de-
fense setup under former Gov.
Price, the Civilian Defense Councils
could appoint rent-control commit
tees. but such groups only had pub
lie opinion to back up their find
ingS.
Legislation passed at the present
session gives the civilian defense
organization legal backing and some
believed that rent-control agencies
with legal authority could be eStab-
lished. The proposed act makes
control b. the State certainty, if
enacted.
Delegate John B. SpierS of Rad
ford amended the bill on the House
floor yesterday providing for its eX-
piration on March 4. 1914. thereby
giving the next regular session of
the General Assembly a chance to
re-enact the law if the emergency
persists.
