Near in Delaware

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. "a
P1.-Milk delivery to approximately
10000 Lower Delaware customers is
scheduled to stop tomorrow unless
13 distributing firms postpone their
threatened halt in service pending
conference with Ofiice of Price
Administration officials next Tues
day.
The conference was called last
night by Chester Bowles, OPA gen.

Leahy issued temporary restrain
ing order prohibiting dealers from
charging more than OPA ceilings.
The distributors said they would
make deliveries only to hospitals,
military establishments and war
plants for persons whose health,
upon the advice of physicians, is

Bogus Realty Agents
MuIcting Public Here,
U. 5. Attorney Warns
Rent CounseIs' obtoin
Money on Promise Of
Nonexistent Places

Warning that bogus real estate
agents" are mulcting the public
here, Assistant United States Attor-
ney Sylvan Schwartz today asked
that violators be reported to his
off1ce.
Mr.. Schwartz said that about a
dozen operators, in the guise of
rent counsels," are known to have
obtained money from house and
room seekers by fraudulently rep
resenting themselves as real estate
agents.
Most of the rooms and houses
promised are nonexistent, Mr..
Schwartz said, explaining, however,
that In some cases houses already
occupied are promised to people des-
perately in need of lodging. He said
the down payments rendered by the
victims ranged from $40 to 5000.
A few operators have been con-
victed, he said, but the majority
have escaped prosecution because
the courts are inclined to look upon
the ofenses as civil matters. Nu-
merous judgments have been OBJ
tanned against the operators in civil
court, Mr.. Schwartz declared, but it
does the victim little good because
the defendants have their financial
affairs arranged SO is to avoid pay
ment.
Meanwhile. J. Burrell Parks, col
ored, described as the operator OF
an office in the 1000 block Of Eley-
enth street NV, was held for the
grand jury yesterday on two charges
OF larceny after trust In connection
with alleged real estate frauds.
Judge Walter ]. Casey set bond at
$500.
According to the complaint filed
in Municipal Court, Parks is charged
with accepting $500 from q couple
on the pretext of obtaining house
for them. The complainants, Mr..
and Mrs. James Smith, 1902 P street
NV. have asserted that they never
obtained the house, nor was their
money refunded.
Parks Is also charged with obtain
ing $3.50 from Roberta e. Jenifer,
2003 Twelfth street NV, to pay her
tax and water bills. The complaint
states that the bills were never paid
and the money was not returned.

would have it direct from high up

Air Force that we were getting new
planes. Once ne had it that the
legendary super-attack planes that
the whole air force has been waiting
for were unloading at Brisbane for
us. Another time he would have
it from even higher up that we
were all going to be sent home in
20 days. So naturally when he said
We were going to have 40 fighters.

But off we went and when I did

The temperature reached SO

Nor was any relief in sight for the

The humidity was 20 per cent at

midity was higher.
George Proctor, 73, colored, of

Civilians and Soldiers
May Be Let Out Here

The Army Service Forces under
1t. Gen. Brehon B. Somervell
are dropping 10000 civilian and
military personnel from the rolls
by the end of this month, as a
result of efficiency methods and
streamlining of operations, the
War Department announced to-
day.
While the reduction in personnel
will be made principally at arsenals
and depots, an undetermined num-
Der will be released here.
Unofficial reports have estimated
5000 and 1000 civilians will be
dropped here. The total number
affected is less than 10 per cent of
the approximately 100000 on the
rolls of the Army service forces. the
great bulk of whom are scattered
throughout the country.
Civilians dropped will become
available for other employment in
the war effort, the War Department
announced. Members of the mill
tary personnel removed from pres
ent posts are to be transferred to
other units.
The manpow economies
achieved, it was said, are the result
of efforts initiated seven months
ago by Gen. Somervell to put the
huge service forces on the nsost ef
ficient basis possible. The reduc-
ton in personnel is made possible
by such activities as Improvement
in production and handling meth
DDS, slmplification of office and cler-
ical procedures, decentralization of
authority to act and other efficien-
cies gained from continued expert
