Rent Laws Still Valid,
0PA Official Warns
Indiana Case Does Not
Void Rules, Wooeerd Says

James w. Woogerd, OPA rent d.
rector for Montgomery, Prince
Georges and Charles Counties, to-
day branded as completely false"
a report that recent rulings OF. an
Indiana court had invalidated the
rent regulations set up by the Fed
eral agency and warned that rent
control will continue to be enforced
throughout the area under his juris-
diction. So
The decision to which Mr.. Woog-
erd referred was handed down last
month in a District Court in Indiana
and termed the Rent Control Act
unconstitutional
Publicity given this courts opin-
ion on the constitutionality of rent
control" Mr.. Woogerd asserted, has
created in the minds of some per-
sons an impression that all OPA
rules on rent are off. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The
regulations are still in effect and
will continue to be enforced"
A>ooAA6 oAAot Oil appeal 4IOIl Cllc
Indiana decision has been filed in
the United States Supreme Court,
Mr.. Woogerd pointed out that a
three-judge court in Wichita. Kans.,
recently upheld the constitutionality
Of rent control.
Most of the property owners in
this area recognize that rent con-
troll is necessary war measure, :"
he declared, land I'm glad to say
they've worked with us splendidly.
Were counting on the continued
cooperation of them and all other
landlords in the area. That's why I

The first plan for the distribu-
tion Of penny milk" to school chill
dren in Montgomery County has

Chevy Chase Public Health Lay
Council, it was learned today.
From now until the end of the
current school year, every child, in
the Linden and River road colored
schools will receive one-haf pint Of
milk daily at a cost of l cent each.
Approximately 80 children will bene-
fit by the program. according to
Mrs. Eugene M. Fry, in charge Of
the project.
Arrangements have been made for
the Federal Agricultural Marketing
Administration to pay 2 cents per
half-pint to the farmer. The re-
manning 2 or az cents to cover
bottling and distributing costs will
be met by the pupils and the Public
Health Lay Committee.
May Expand Project.
Squads Of boys have been Or
ganized in both schools to carry in
the milk from the milk truck on
days when the school roads are i'm
passable, Mrs Fry explained.
While the plan is in the expert
mental stage and affects only
small part of the total county school
enrolment, Mrs. Fry expressed the
hope that interest in the project
would spread throughout the county.

superintendent Of county schools.
has approved the project and would

York City schools. Mrs. Fry recalled.
In both cities, she pointed out, the
consumption of milk was increased

and the attention of parents was TO-

Hundreds Ride
On Expired Tags
|nMary|and
DeodIine Unchanged, ,
But Rumor Floods
Police With Calls

Hundreds of motorists in nearby
Maryland were on the streets today
with old automobile tags despite the
fact that an all-time record for final
day tag sales at the Office of the
commissioner OF motor vehicles in
Baltimore was broken before the
deadline at midnight last night.
In Prince Georges County, Hyatts-
vile police said about 1000 tele-
phone calls were received by the de-
partment yesterday from motorists
asking If the license deadline had
been extended.
Bethesda police said thousands of
telephone calls had poured into the
station there yesterday and that
hundreds were continuing to call
today.
To all. the answer was the same
There has been no extension of the
auto tag deadline."
Bethesda police estimated at least
SO per cent of the Maryland
licensed automobiles on the streets
In Bethesda today are without new
tags.
Many Of those who are driving
with old tags, police believe, have
their new tags but have simply
neglected putting them on.
The motor vehicle commissioner
in Baltimore reported that window
sales yesterday totaled 13O64, COM
pared with the previous final day
high mark of 11,701 set in 1941.
The total number of tags issued up
to the time the office closed last
night was approximately 1926, ,0O0-
more than $4,000 less than the total
issued at this time last year.

chased through the motor vehicular
department Office in Baltimore.

auto tags remain valid until mid
night April IS. Arlington County
omclals reported that telephone in
aulries about the State deadline had
Hooded" the courthouse SWITCH
board for the past two days.

No Verdict Returned
After l0-Hour Study

After celebrating for more than
10 hours, a Circuit Court jury in
Rockville failed to agree on whether
Raymond Stewart, colored, of Nor
beck, was guilty of receiving stolen
goods.
Mrs. Raymond Runion of Rock
vile, from whom Is chickens were

preached the two chickens, they

She also identified four dead
chickens at Stewards home, she
added.
A court employe, who operates
farm, explained that chickens easily
recognize a person who feeds them
regularly and "sort of hum" when
the person approaches them.
In another case. Judge Stedman
Prescott sentenced Leroy ]. Dimes,
colored, %, of Rockville, to five
years in the Maryland House of
Correction after Dimes had pleaded
guilty to robbery.
It was brought out that Dimes
had been convicted twice before on
charges Of larceny and Judge Pres
colt warned him that if he appears
before the court again, you will get
the limit"
The jurist declared he was at
tempting to protect the decent,
colored people Of Rockville from
persons like you" He pointed out
that in New York, Dimes would be
liable to life imprisonment after
three convictions and added, I'm
not sure that such a sentence
wouldn't be the best thing for you

who batted .321 last year. but base
ball men hastily pointed out that
Joe was inclined to concentrate on
swatting that long ball-that fell
low like Spence. who was just willing
to meet the bali, rated the edge.
George Case had a nice 1912 sea-

average, and there was a feeling the
fleet Nat. was approaching his peak
as q hitter Spence, Gordon and
Case comprised the top trio of I942
form, but, look at 'em now.
Spence is hitting .247, Case is
struggling along at .269 pace and
Gordon, at .213 merely is l0s points
behind his 1912 batting. Some of
the leagues more noted pitchers
aren't around now due to the inter-
national fuss. but it, hasn't helped
Spence, Gordon or Case.
The only other member of last
years top 10 in the American
League now performing is Vernon
Stephens of the Browns, who hit .294
in 1912. Stephens was pacing the
1e43 hit parade earlier in the cam
palgn but he has tobogganed badly
to 1902 and finds Appling, Wakefield
and Outright far in front of him.
Appling, who captured the batting
crown in 1886 with 1888, is out in

been a tough specimen with a bat
