Concession Operator Wins
Suit AGAINST Apartment

Charles Brown, 1880 Irving street
NV, yesterday was awarded $1,000
by District Court jury which
found that he had been unlawfully
deprived of his right to operate a
concession stand in the lobby OF
the Dupont Circle Apartment build
ing, which was taken over as an
Office building by the Government.
In suit against Dupont Circle,
Inc, Mr.. Brown told the court he
had a lease on the concession stand
that was to expire In March, 1943.
However, the apartment manage
ment rented the building to the
Government in July, 1941. and he
was forced to vacate his stand in
December, 1941.
Representing Mr.. Brown were At
torneys Leroy S. Bendheim and
Phillip Goldstein.
Several other suits alleging un-
lawful eviction, filed by former
tenants Of the building, are await
ing trial. A congressional COM
mittee inquired into the circum-
stances Of the Government leasing
the structure.

Mr.. Phillips added I'VE realize

But it's q practical solution Of q

must preserve their tires because
they probably can't get any more,

II the present regulations do not
prove feasible, Mr.. Phillips said, they
will be modified. But he made 1t
clear that OPA would have to be
shown. 81
He said District officials had called
on OPA oficers to protest against
the inspection requirements.
This protest will be given care

pointed out, In answer to 70 ques-

ny the Axsociatsd Press.

The windup of the 1912 Mary.
land gubernatorial campaign was
concentrated in Baltimore City to-
day, with both Democratic Gov.
O'Conor and Republican Candi-
date Theodore r. McKeldin making
strong bids for the all-important
metropolitan vote.
Mr.. McKeldin, who has indicated
he is confident of victory, matched
strides with Gov. O'Conor in the
number of political meetings at
tended and speeches given, while
Attorney General William c. Walsh
broadcast an address asking sup
port of the Democratic ticket.
In the meantime, officers of the
Maryland Classified Employees As
sociation, composed Of State
workers, disavowed responsibility
for criticism of Gov. O'Conor which
appeared in The Classified Mary
lander, official association organ.
President Richard T. Norris headed
the list of officers signing the dis
avowal
The publication asserted that
Maryland needs a new Governor
and needs him quickly" adding that
united voting is the only thing
that will ever get for the State
employees the recognition they de-
serve" ~
It also attacked Gov. O'Conor's
letter answering one from Editor
James M. Hoffa about State sal
aries, saying 1--WE can only say
that we deem it evasive, answering
none of our charges and Offering
nothing whatever to relieve the
present situation of the States un-
fortunate underpaid employees"
Mr.. McKeldin visited nine meet
ings in Baltimore last night. His
headquarters said he would con-
tinue to concentrate on Baltimore
City until Tuesday, election day
after having visited every county
in the State.
The Republican gubernatorial
candidate reiterated his criticisms
of the Democratic administration
during which he has pledged him
self to eliminate the State income
tax.
Gov. O'Conor, who appeared at
eight meetings, took issue with the
income tax promise and reiterated
promises to reduce the income tax
cut the real estate levy still further
and adjust salaries Of State en-

Building Repair
PriceCei|ings
Ordered Nov. 5
oPA Ruling Covers
All Construction,
Maintenance, Sales
1y the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
Specialized. price control for the
vast American construction indus
try-from repairing leaky roof to
construction of giant projects such
as Boulder Dam-will go into effect
November S. the Office of Price Ad-
ministration announced yesterday.
OPA said the plan resulted from
the necessity for a pricing method
other than that provided by the
general maximum price regulation.
The new regulation covers all con-
struction and maintenance services
and sales in which contractors,
builders, installers and erectors fur
nlsh building or industrial equip
ment or materials together with la
bor required for actual construction,
installation or service.
Adjusted March Ceilings.
Ceilings established by the ruling,
OPA said, are the equivalent of
those generally in effect during
March, 1912, adjusted for increases
IN labor costs between March 81,
l94z, and July /, 1912.
The new regulations are designed
to maintain the March, 1912, price
level, except to allow for increased
labor costs, to provide a workable
means for determining maximum
prices at this level and to maintain
a constant observation of prices OF
construction not already under the
control of other governmental agen-
cies, OPA said.
Included in the regulation are
such jobs as the stringing of new
telephone and power lines, and the
construction OF sewers and streets.
Ceilings are established also on
ordinary household service jobs by
plumbers, carpenters and elec-
tricians.
Does Not Apply to Wages.
The regulation covers all con-
struction and repair work done by
the job, but does not apply to the
wages of persons performing these
jobs. Thus, roofing contractor
who named price for the entire
job is covered by the regulation, but
If the householder bought the
roofing material and employed a
roofer to lay it, the roofer would
not be subject to the regulations.
Every contract entered into, ex-
cept those of $500 or less, must be
filed with OPA within 10 days
after the award of the contract.
