Nv RUTH MILLETT

A little childs cry of "Daddy!'
when Winston Churchill passed
him, because the Prime Minister
was in uniform and the kids dad
was in uniform, was funny enough
20 make a good newspaper story.
And yet there is nothing funny
about the thousands of youngsters
who won't know their fathers when
The war is over-children too young
70 remember their fathers through
months or years of separation, chill
Iren born after their fathers are
out of the country, children TO
whom Daddy isn't person-just
some one Mama talks about.
That is a tragic situation Chill
Iren coming to depend on one par
ents. because temporarily they have
but one. Children forgetting. or
not even knowing, their fathers.
Children who will have to learn to
know again and learn to love the
fathers who should have been
part of their daily lives always,
without interruption.
ONE BRIGHT SPOT
And yet there is one redeeming
iide to the picture, one thing that
parents can tell themselves when
hey are worrying over the prob
lem:
Children whose fathers have lett
them and will leave them to go to
war will be proud always that their
fathers we're in the fight.
To them, their dads will be ne
roes The kids whose fathers get
% stay with them through the war
arc. of course, the lucky ones. But
they'll never know the thrill that
it gives a child to boast that his
dad is a soldier, that he had this,
or that, wonderful experience.
When parents get to feeling too
sorry for their kids, temporarily
lf-orphans, they can console
themselves bit with that fact.
The children of fighting fathers
may not know their fathers when
they come home-but they'll know,
one thing about them. They'll
know they are heroes.

Rent Increase
Notices Sent 0u1
Al Greenbe|t
Raises Set June I
Won't Affect 900
War Housing Units
BY ]. B. ZATMAN.

Greenbelt residents were being
notified today that their rents will
be Increased beginning June /, and
that analysis of tenants incomes, On
which increases will be based, will
begin Immediately.
The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority late yesterday decided on the
move. 1t was explained, however,
that the 1000 war housing units
built at Greenbelt under the Lam
ham Act will not be affected.
The increases have been set up on
a graded rent program based on
ability to pay, and will not exceed
rent ceilings set by the Office of
Price Administration.
Salary Boosts Cited.
FPHA officials explained that the
plan was adopted in view of salary
increases received by most of the
tenants in the three lQw-cost hous-
ing projects.
1t was not known Immediately
how many residents of Greenbelt
would be affected, since the survey of
salaries must be made first. There
are approximately 1886 living units
at the nearby Maryland develop
ment.
Normally, it was said, residents of
the three developments would have
to move if their salaries were in
creased. Because of the housing
shortage, however, it was believed
that the present plan would be more
equitable, and would raise the rents
so that they would compare favor
ably with similar housing accommo-
dations.
Special Provision for Some.
Special provision will be made for
those whose incomes have not been
substantially increased.
Under the new rent schedule, the
lowest rental will be $24 a month
as compared with approximately
$l9. The maximum will be S65 as
compared with between s45 and $50
at present.
1t was also learned that similar
increases would apply to Green
hills, Ohio, and Greendale in Mil
waukee.
