COP. LEAVES
 ARIZONA FIELD
 TO DEMOCRATS
BY ROBERT FAHs United Pres Staff Correspondent

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 26-(UP)- Arizona virtually VIII elect Q Demo- cratic Governor and two Democratic Congressnaen at the states primary election on September 6.
 The most significant features of this years primary election are the absence of Republican candi- dates for state offices and the large field of lS candidates for the two Democratic Congressional nomina- tions.
 Although the Republican party has Q few candidates for the state legislature and county offices, the party's ballot will carry no names of candidates for state office and any c. O. P. nominees at the No- vember general election will have to be chosen via the write-in method.
 Through re-apportionment, Ari- zona gained a second sea- in Con- gress, resulting in the flood of 1S a nd d te for the Democratic nomination. Because of "quirk" in the state constitution which pro- vides that one Congressman must be elected at-large, both of Ari- zona,s representatives will be elect ed at-large.
 The Democratic gubernatorial race is between four candidates. Gov. Sidney F. Osborn is seeking reelection. He is opposed by for- mer Gov. R. T. Jones, Dan c. Mo- Kinney, Tuscon cattleman, and Ernest Carleton, Phoenix contrac- tor. Osborn and Jones have each defeated the other in past elections, Jones winning in 1888 and Osborn winning in 194O. Mckinley was Osborn's campaign manager two years ago.
 The lack of Republican candi- dates and the large field in the Congressional race have resulted in proposals that Arizona should change it's election laws to provide for a double primary system such as is used in the traditionally Democratic states of the South.
 It has been pointed out that this year, with the vote expected to total about 00,00O, Democratic Congress sional nomination, which will be tantamount to election, may be won by a candidate of minority group with Q relatively small percentage of the vote and probably no candi- date will receive as much as 25 per cent of the vote.
 This is the first time, however, that the Republicans have been inactive in state politics and the party is expected to maintain its organization for the 1944 Presiden- tial campaign.
 Union labor has increased in strength in the state during recent years and for the first time may have 8 decisive influence in elect ing or defeating certain candidates.
 The list of Congressional candi- dates includes two women, two Army officers, three college in- structors, including the incumbent, an insurance and radio executive and several legislators and other of- flee holders.
 In addition there are contests for the Democratic nomination to five state offices while four other state officials are unopposed for re- election.

chicago, Aug. 26-Freedom of ac- ton in the sale of homes covered hy federal rent control is threatened by cases reported to have occurred where such property has been sold under circumstances that indicate that the sale may have been for the purpose of evading rent control. So the National Association of Real Estate Boards points out In a state-
 ment renewing the pledge of the realtors of the country to cooperate fin securing fair and equitable ad- manifestation of the rent control law as part of the anti-inflation pro- gram but emphasizing at the same time that in any measures taken to prevent evastion of the law we must keep absolutely free the right of an owner to sell his property, and the right of American citizens to buy and own their homes.
 OPA offlcials have asked the Ma tional Association of Real Estate Boards to meet with them immedi- ately as consultants on evolving @ proposal for meeting situations that may be attempts to circumvent rent control. They emphasize their de- sire to develop Q solution that will not interfere in any way with the legitimate sale of residential prop erty. They assure the association that Q recent news report, published in some of the most important newspapers of the country to the effect that OPA Is planning to re- quire 6 down payment of at least 30 per cent for the purchase of any rented home in a defense-rental area, is entirely without foundation, and that no definite formula as to 8 stipulated down payment or as to a maximum monthly payment has as yet been worked out.
 Any such requirement would of course conflict with the ten per cent down payment plan which is an in- tegral part of the FILA mortgage in- surance procedure, the association points out.
 Realtors of the country, bound by a long-eStablished code of ethics, are wholeheartedly opposed to any practice that would evade rent regulations, and have assured OPA ofacials that they will not counten- ance any course of action which, even though not prohibited by law, would violate the purpose or intent of the rent control provisions of the Price Control Act. But they point out that the maintenace of nor nal real estate market and of the right of millions of American fah- Hes to become home owners is Fundamental both to keeping our whole economy in balance and to keeping our American way of life. They urge that in setting up rent regulations the greatest caution be taken not to restrict legitimate real eastate transactions or to make 1t difficult for American families to become home owners.
 Representatives of the National Association of Real Estate Boards In forthcoming conferences with OPA on the subject will include John w. Galbreath, Columbus, Ohio, chairman of the Realtors Washington Committee; Ronald J.
