By the Way
BETH BLAINE

As Frances Coates Grace she
has made a distinguished name
for herself in the musical world,
but pretty, talented Mrs. John
Grace, jr., prefers to be known
as the wife of 1t. Comdr. Grace
OF the United States Navy. Right
now she is using her beautiful
voice and her dramatic talent
for the Red Cross. Several days
a week she works as Gray
Lady at the Naval Center In Be-
thesda. and her other free time
is taken up with the work she
does for the Red Cross radio
programs.
A native of Chicago, she stud
led voice both here and abroad.
She also gave concerts in Europe
three particularly outstanding
ones in London in 1885. That
same year she received one OF
the command invitations to the
royal garden party. On her re-
turn to this country she added
further to her growing prestige
by presenting her own interpre-
tation of solo operas-cutting
down such famous four-and-a-
half performances as Peter Ib-
betsen," Hageman's "Caponis-
acchi" and Massenet's lie Jong-
leur OF Notre Dame" to a con-
densed one hour. She also did
a dramatic reading of THE
White Cliffs" on tour for the
British War. Relief Societies.
Two years ago the Red Cross
asked Mrs. Grace to do for their
radio programs what she had
done for operas. She did over
international broadcasts a con-
densed hours program, partly
speaking, partly singing and with
music. These have proved tre-
mendously successful. This Sum-
day afternoon at Sis o'clock over
Station WINK Mrs. Grace will
give her own Interpretation OF
"A Narrative in Red and White"
condensed to a 15-minute period.
On Easter Sunday Mrs. Grace
sang for the men at the Naval
Hospital. She is amazed, she tells
us, to find how much the service
men enjoy music, how very ap-
preciative they all are. Some
ask for popular tunes, but many,
many more for classical music,
and it is thrilling to a musician
to see how much good music
really means to them.
Right now Comdr. Grace is
stationed here in Washington.
He was in the last war, Mrs.
Grace told us. She also told us
about their 18-year-old daughter,
who has just completed her first
year at Vassar and now is taking
a summer course at the Univer-
sity of Wyoming.
Looking at youthful Mrs. Grace
it is hard to believe that she is
the mother of an 18-year-old
daughter. Perhaps it is her great
enthusiasm, her zest for life that
keeps her looking like that. for
she has both zest and enthusiasm
as we'll as great talent, and she
finds turning her music and dra-
matte ability into war work the
most "rewarding" thing that she
ever has done, she says.

0PA Rent Ceilings,
Price Control Law
Held Constitutional

The constitutionality of the
Emergency Price Control Act, and
rent ceiling regulations promulgated
under it by the Office Of Price Ad-
ministration, was upheld yesterday
by the United States Emergency
Court of Appeals in dismissing three
complaints regarding rentals against
Price Administrator Brown.
The complaints, appeals from
OPA decisions, were filed by Stanley
w. Taylor, San Francisco; Charles
w. Wilson and Emma Bennett,
Chicago, and Lakemore Co., an Ohio
corporation with property in Cleve-
land.
In addition to upholding the con-
stitutionality of the Emergency Price
Control Act, points ruled on by the
court included:
l.. That rent regulations are valid
when generally fair and equitable,
even though an individual landlord
may not be able to obtain a fair
return on his rental property.
Other Points Covered.
2. That the Price Administrator is
not required to grant rent adjust
mentS on the basis of individual
cost increases.
3. That landlords whose rentals
are lower than rents for comparable
properties are not entitled to in
creases on this basis alone.
In the Taylor case, the COMPLAIN
ant attacked constitutionality of the
Emergency Price Control Act and
rent ceiling regulations.
In the Wilson and Bennett case
the compliments attacked a rent
ceiling regulation as invalid insofar
as it failed to provide for adjust
ments of maximum rents in individ-
ual cases.
The Lakemore Co. had contended
1t was entitled to a rent increase
to compensate for a tax increase.
Control Held Desirable.
The court elaborated on the de-
STABILITY of rent control during the
wartime as an anti-inflation meas
ure. In its decision In the Taylor
case, it said:
increases in rents have an i'm
mediate effect on wage earners
Other items are normally bought in
small quantities and a small in
crease in the price of such commodi-
tles makes no great impression upon
the wage Garner. Rents are paid In
lump sums, however, and wage
earners are actuely aware OF the
fact that their living costs are in
creasing when rents are raised
furthermore, in the case of most
commodities, wage earners can re-
duce their purchases and thereby
adjust their budgets to price in
creases; in the case of rental hous-
ing in war centers, however, work
ers generally have no choice, be-
cause the supply of housing is SO
severely limited
Fear Infiationary Spiral.
Accordingly, wage earners tend
to demand wage increases to offset
encroachments on their living stand
ards resulting from higher rents
II such wage increases are not
granted, labor friction and strikes
may arise to impede the prosecution
OF the war. If wages are raised the
pressure for increased prices soon
makes itself felt. Further demands
for wage increases are thereby en-
gendered. Thus an inf1ationary
spiral initiated by rent increases
gathers momentum. The vital i'm
portance of the rent control pro-
gram to the war effort is thus ap-
parent"
The cases were argued before for

posal by Sen. David I. Walsh, D."
Mass, to boos THE yield to $6,OO0,-

Members said the committee

Baldwin Raps

On Milk Issue

I Hartford, Conn, December 8. -
CUP - Governor Baldwin charged
today that Washington was deliber-
ately lodging conference with
Connecticut officials concerning the
states vital milk problem.
Assured several weeks ago by Eco
nomic Sterilization Director Fred
M. Viroson, that q joint conference
could be arranged with OPA Direc-
tor Chester Bowles and Food Ad-
ministrator Marvin Jones, the gov
ernor said he had thus far been I'M
successful in getting a definite date
for such a meeting.
All day yesterday, Governor Bald
win said, he tried to get in telephone
communication with Vinson, ard had
been unable to 90 so. He said he
would continue to try and make con-
tact, declaring ait will do no good II
we can't get the three main federal
officials concerned with the problem
together for the conference. Other
wise, we may expect the same an
swer Sorry, but I can't do any
thing until I have conferred with
so-and-so.'"
The governor said that in his
opinion, "the Connecticut milk prob
lens are vital enough to, the war
effort to receive more attention in
Washington than they are getting,
and he believed the officials were
"disinclined" to talk over the situa-
ton and receive first-hand informa-
ton.
