Placing Rent Control
Under Local Groups
Urged by Mul|enix
House Committee Told
Laws Administration
Has Not Been Fair

Some plan whereby rent control
would again be placed largely under
the supervision of local fair rent
committees is suggested by Charles
A. MulleniX, president of the Mort
gage Bankers association of Amer
lea. This suggestion is contained in
brief prepared for the special
House Investigating Committee
headed by Representative Smith,
Democrat, Of Virginia.
Illness prevented Mr.. Mullenix
from making the statement at the
hearing. 1t has been made a part
of the committees records. Fair
rent committees proved generally
effective before the area rent control
Offices were set up, he said.
He declared he was a firm be-
lever in the control of rents and
other prices during the war emer-
gency, but that control should be
in economic balance and equitable
and fair He added that he was
convinced that ''it has not been
intelligent, fair or equitable and has
not taken into consideration the
economic balance between indus
tries or between areas"
He pointed out he was still waiting
to hear of single case where con-
sideration has been given to the
sharply increased costs of mainte-
nance, wages, supplies and fuel in
the determination OF maximum
rents.
An important part of the Nations
economic life is endangered by the
present rent control administration
he concluded, saying one of the
groups most adversely affected were
the million or so property owners
whose life savings are invested in
rental housing to provide modest
incomes for their old age.

More Housiinq
Is Sought for
War Workers
Home Owners Urged
To Aid in Placing
1,100, 900 Migrants

AS in the case of the last World
War, homeowners today are being
asked to provide living accommo-
dations for workers in essential in
dustries and for men and women
in the armed forces stationed
nearby. This was reported in con-
nection with statement by John
B. Blandford. jr, national housing
administrator that more housing
facilities must be made available
at once
The Governments war housing
program, using both the resources
OF private enterprise and public
funds. will be carried on to the
extent that the use of manpower
and critical materials permit Mr..
Blandford said, but the problem
cannot be solved without the CO.
operation of the Nations home
owners.
The majority of the 100000
workers expected to migrate to war
industry centers between July, 1943,
to July, 1914, must be housed in ex-
listing structures. We must count
on at least 100000 war worker FAM
lilies and 100000 single workers being
taken care of in this way"
Goal Held Possible.
He declared that this goal of
the National Housing Agency is not
an impossible one, as proved by
the record. 1t is known that more
than 100000 migrating workers
have been housed in existing struc-
lures since the start of the defense
emergency
The important services provided by
war housing centers and homes reg
1stratlon offices in helping to handle
this migration was praised by Mr..
Blandford. Up to April 20, 1943,
these Offices had listed more than
100000 dwelling units of all types.
both for families and single persons.
At the same time, they received ap-
pllcations for accommodations from
nearly 2,240,00G workers in war in
dustry centers.
The centers and registration Of
ices have records showing more than
$4,000 workers definitely placed
through their services. These peo-
Pile, explained MI. Blandford, repre-
sent cases which could be followed
through because landlords and ten
ants co-operated. Presumably all
the accommodations Ested-except
the few remaining on the books
have been occupied.
The seriousness of the housing
need of war workers who are ac-
companied by families is shown.
however, by the figures for March,"
said Mr.. Blandford. There were
nearly 47,000 applications for family
units received by centers throughout
the country. In that month, only
$4,000 family accommodations were
newly listed. And only 10262 fam
lilies definitely were placed.
Single Workers Fare Better.
"On the other. hand 25,837 ac-
commodations for single persons
were listed, as against 23,378 appli-
cations received from war workers.
And we have records to show that
at least 20,463 single workers def
nitely were placed"
