improvements or AlCeraCionS they may have made.
 Honesty and inpartiality" will govern enforcement of the rent ceiling regulations, MT. Bowles said Methods of appeal, he said, are pro- vided for those who believe that the regulations are affecting them unfairly.
 Defense Area
 The director listed the Waterbury defense area as comprising this city Plymouth, Thomaston, Watertown Beacon Falls, Cheshire, Mtddlebury Naugatuck, Prospect and Wolcott Other towns in the section will be affected after July l.
 Landlords in these areas car still avoid Federal rent control ir their communities by bringing all rents to the level of April, 1941 by June 2S," Bowles stated. If they fail to put their rents down by that date, the Federal order in these areas will probably be put into ef- feet July l."
 The intervention of the Federal government In the Connecticut rent situation became @ necessity, Bowles assrted, when landlords failed to heed the OPA request that rents revert to the April, 104l level.
 "The rent problem in Connecticut is probably more serious than any other one section of the country" he said.
 Tn the first place, Connecticut Is buSler on war work in relation to our population than any other state in the country.
 ''The failure to control rentals by voluntary methods was probably in- evitable. We are living irl scarcity economy. Tn Connecticut there is no real unemployment. Wages are at high levels. It was not really sur- prising that rents, like prices, would go up and up as we bid against each other for better places to live, Since June, l940, more than l60,- GOO industrial workers have come into the state to work. Tn any state, 1t would be difhcult to find suitable living quarters for any such huge group of newcomers
 "II1 Connecticut 1t has ben par- ticularily difficult. Although nearly half of our citizens live in rented homCG, we had fewer unoccupied rooms and dwellings for rent even before the war than any other state In proportion to our population.

lord must return the rental charge to April, 1e41 and then address an appeal to the area rent director for 6 readjustment of the rental charge Bowles said.
 Redecorating, repainting and nominal maintenance repairs will not be considered grounds for an increase in rental charges, he aided The circumstances of improve ments, cost and other factors will be considered in rent readjustments when granted by rent directors Bowles said.
 An owner may sell his property and the purchaser may take ten. ancy, if he proves that the ten. ancy Is for his own use or that oi his immediate family, Bowles said.
 Evlctions cannot be made only 1T cases where property exchanges hands and the new owner desires personal occupancy. The rent direc' tors will have no function in these cases except to attest to the validity of the sale. A new owner seeking to occupy property he has purchased will be obliged to take action under local laws governing dispossession of tenant. The burden of proof that sale of property IS genuine and that occupancy Is to be assumed by the new owner, or his immediate family. is upon the purchaser, the OPA director asserted, and the facts must be reported to the area rent office.
