board has exhausted it's quota can
now obtain certificates authorizing
purchase of used tires instead,
Thomas P. Shelburne, jr., mileage
rationing officer for the Richmond
OPA district, announced yesterday.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton has authorized local boards to
issue used truck tire certificates
without regard to quota restrictions.
Previously all certificates for truck
tires were charged against quota,
Mr.. Shelburne said.
He emphasized that replacements,
whether new or used, still can be
issued only to vehicles included in
list A in the tire rationing regu-
lations. This list covers trucks and
other commercial vehicles doing
work essential to the war effort or
public welfare.

Rent Protest
Meeting Called
In Greenbe|t
FPHA Graded Plan,
Effective June !,
Held Excessive

Aroused over what they term Tex
cesslve' rent increases, residents Of
Greenbelt today called mass meet
ing for $3.50 pm. Monday in the
Greenbelt Elementary School audi
torlum to decide whether to make
formal protest against tent raises.
Joseph Comproni. acting president
OF the Greenbelt Citizens Associa-
ton, said that officials of the town
management have been invited to
explain the purpose and operation
OF the graded rent plan, which be-
comes effective June |.
Graded Rent Program.
The plan was adopted last month
by the Federal Public Housing
Authority after conferences with the
Offlce of Price Administration. At
that time FPHA officials said the
rent increases were set up on a
graded rent program based on ability
TO pay, and would not exceed rent
ceilings set by the OPA.
Last Monday the Town Council of
Greenbelt approved a resolution
urging the citizens association to
call a meeting of residents at the
earliest possible date.
Many Of the residents have COM
planned to James w. Woodgerd, area
rent director for Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties. They said
the rent increases were inequitable
and would cause hardship.
Mr.. Woodgerd explained, however,
that while he had been instrumental
in setting maximums for types of
housing at the development, he
could not do anything about the
particular rent charge. which is
based on residents salaries. He
added that such schedule is fixed
by Greenbelt authorities.
Resident Cases Cited.
AS an illustration of what they
termed excessive" rent increases,
the residents pointed out that in
one case the rent had been raised
from S33 to $40 a month for a
three bedroom house The salary
OF this resident has increased in
the past two years from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year.
In another case the rent for a
bedroom house was raised from
S34.50 to SAT month, while the
salary of this resident had been
increased from $1,000 to $4,000 a
year.
There are approximately 8S5 liv-
ing units at the nearby Maryland
development. The 1000 additional
war housing units, built last year
at Greenbelt under the Lanham
Act are not affected by the rent
increases.

Home Owners Plant
400 County Trees
Montgomery Campaign
Supported by Residents

More than 400 trees have been
planted along the streets in sub
urban communities of Montgomery
County through the cooperation of
individual property owners and the
Montgomery County Tree Depart
ment, it was announced yesterday
by Park Commissioner E. Brooke
Lee.
The project was begun several
weeks ago when it was announced
that the county would plant trees
along streets in thickly populated
sections, provided the necessary
holes were dug in advance by the
residents of the community.
Neither the Montgomery County
commissioners nor the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission were able to secure
enough men to continue the county
road maintenance and the park rec
reational program and at the same
time dig the holes for the trees
during the recent planting season,
it was explained.
The tree-planting projects gener-
ally were sponsored by several people
in each block, acting as committee
to inform all of the residents of the
county's offer and the work the local
residents should do to obtain trees.
Planting of the trees was carried
out by three county and park COM
mission workers, under the super
vision of William R. Hall, landscape
architect for the commission.
In these paintings Norway naples.
red NAPLES, sugar NAPLES. pin oaks
and American elms were used. These
are all considered as among the most
desirable street trees for this section
of the country.
