This association has consistently
advocated a sound system of war
time rent control. 1t has objected
to self defeating features OF OPA
rent administration that have
caused conflict and outright hard
ship to property owners. The ac-
tual day-by-day results reported In
this survey show what OPA has
brought about in the vital matter of
housing supply during wartime.
1T shows that OPA handling of
the problem has caused citizens to
fear loss of control of their own
property; has forced rental dwell
ings off the market instead of onto
it; has diminished wartime housing
supply; has raised barriers to in
creased home ownership; has pre-
vented families who for the first
time have the means from buying
homes; has resulted in accelerated
deterioration of our housing plant
by keeping returns below the level
where proper maintenance can be
carried out. All this it has done at a
time when the Nation is in drastic
need of all possible housing and
when it must, as never before, prop
erly maintain what 1t does have"

Homemakers' School
To Open in Oregon

A free school for homemakers to
spur the immediate production of
new homes after the war and thus
re-employ many of the returning
soldiers and ex-war workers was an
nouneed this week from Portland,
Greg, where the first classes of the
newly formed Home Planners In
stitute will start October 18. The
Equitable Savings g. Loan Associa-
/ ton, Portland, which is headed by
Ralph H. Cake, president of the
United States Savings and Loan
League, will initiate the plan. From
Portland as a pilot plant, the in
stltute expects to provide the pri-
vate building industry with Ma
tlon-wlde postwar planning pro-
gram. by creating this sure market
for the building of new homes as
soon as restrictions are lifted.
The home building industry can
easily be the first to take up the
slack because comparatively little
retoollng is necessary for Its re-
turn to peacetime pursuits, it is
pointed out.
The Institutes joint sponsors, the
West Coast Lumbermens Associa-
ton and the Western Retail Lum-
bermen'S Association expect within
few months to make this plan.
proved in Portland, available to
every city and town in the United
States, through local lumber deal
ers and local savings and loan as
sociations.
THE Home Planners Institute is
an educational and savings pro-
gram for prospective homeowners.
says Mr.. Cake. 1--WE are conducting
a free school for the duration
set up now on two-year basis but
flexible enough so it can be short
ened if home building is permitted
before then-to help far-sighted cit
liens build an ideal home. Glasses
are free to those who are sincerely
planning to build and show proof
OF this sincerity by saving for the
down payment, which may be ac-
cumulated either in War bonds or
In a Home Planners savings ac-
count.
Each class period will cover one
subject. Specialists on site selec-
tion, financing, architecture. land
scaping, kitchen planning, heating,
interior decorating and other sub
jects will conduct them.
Home ownership is one of the
richest of life's enjoyments and saw
ings and loan associations feel it
is their responsibility to help fam
lilies learn how to build a home
which will give lifelong pleasure.
A family gets better home for
their money when they have studied
home building.
by requiring that the accumula-
ton of the down payment be a
qualification for enrolling in the
Home Planners Institute, the as
sociation is assuring that members
are seriously interested in home
building and will be ready to finance
the home as soon as the war is over.

Early Sunday Morning Fracas on South Leonard
 Street Described Today

Louis Marchinak, 49, of 197 South Leonard street, was fined $l0 and costs on & breach of the peace charge and $5 and costs on drunk enness by Judge John L. Gaffney in city court today as the result of fracas at his home in which the state alleged he inflicted injuries necessitating hospital treatment on man he found sleeping in a hall- way.
 Marchinak was arrested early Sunday morning by Motor Patrol men Jordan and Grifiin, who said that when they arrived at March inak'S home In answer to a call, they found Francis Donovan, 3l, of 5l Field street, lying in the hall in a pool of blood. Donovan was taken to St. Mary's hospital where several stitches were required to close a scalp wound, and discharged for appearance in court this morning.
 He said he didn't remember de- tails, but that somebody had hit him over the head.

IBOULDERS STALL
 ITALIAN COLUMN
French Patriots Start Tre- mendOus Landslides
 With Dynamite
BY J0lIN A. PARRIs


 (Unlted Prew Stan CoEEespondent)
 London, March IS.-(P)-F1ench patriot forces retreated deeper into the snow-covered Savoy Alps today, sending boulderS and landslides crashing down the mountain slopes in the path of . heavily armed Italian column moving against them.
 Reports from the Swiss frontier said the guerrillas had split into small units placed at strategic points along the winding mountain road leading into the Thonon area.
 These reports told of one tremen- douS landslide believed started by guerrilla dynamlters. It was said to have reached such proportions that families living in the foothills had to evacuate their homes.
 The Italian column, which in- cluded Vichy militia, was said to have been stalled by the guerrilla tactics.
 Xondon radio, quoting Swiss rec ports, said occupation authorities were trying to exert pressure on the patriots by arresting large number of hostages.
 Reports from the Morocco and Algiers radios, Zurich and towns on the frontier area said French mobile guards still were confined to their barracks at Thonon and Evlan lest they join the partisans.
 Radio Morocco said German boats were patroling Lake Geneva, with German troops occupying Thonon, Evian and St. Gingolph.
 Radio Algiers again appealed to the French police not to help in the Axis roundup of the patriots. The broadcast urged the followers of the late Admiral Francois Dar- Ian and the French Fascists Jacques Doriot not to, "add another forfeit to your betrayal" adding that ven. geance would be taken for help giv. en to the Axis when the hour of de- liveraIce strikes.
 Elsewhere in Axis occupied or dominated Europe, patriot uprisings took Q rising toll of Germans and Italian soldiery.
 Radio Algiers said Serbian patri. cts during February killed more than l2,000 German soldiers and wounded 8 great many others, ne. cessitating German requisition of l5 schools for hospitals.
 Radio Moscow said recent reports confirmed the renewal of heavy fighting between Jugoslav partisans and Italian occupation forces.
 Four hundred Italians were re- ported annihilated west of Zagreb. South of Serejevo. guerrillas were reported fighting combined Italian German forces. Damatian partisans were reported clearing the enemy from "a considerable area"

 Unfortunately they will never see Jack the Ripper again. Tn the hands os another crew 1t was lost over the North Sea.
 But the big bomber did its share against the Axis. On the Romilly- S,lr-Seire raid it fought off l50 head-0n attacks by Nazi fighters.

Andrew MaEkle, Rosendale, N. ~, ball tlirret gunner.
 All were here for a brief tour of instruction.
 The caeer of the Jack the Ripper started Nov. ., l942, with raid on Brest.
 we made nine straight squadron raids without Q loss," Capt. Crumm said. "After that the honeymoon was over"
 The next flight was on the milk run" to st. Nazaire. As the bomEer flew over the target at 22,O00 feet, the Germans asked for recogni- ton signal.
 we flashed back Q W for Vic-' toEy'," Crumrn said, "and for an answer we got the hottest buck of flax you. ever saw. It was so thick we couldn't rec the plane in front of us."
 The fortress was hit in the belly, md was out of action for the next five missions, getting patched up. Then came the big 1000 mile raid on Romilly-Sur- Seine, some no miles southeast of Paris.
 McNally got the reputation on this flight of being one of the few men who have perspired at 23,000 feet at . temperature of 45 degrees below zero. Tn the ball-turret, he knocked out a Focke-Wulf l90 with his twin 90 caliher guns before the No 3 engine was hit by Q shell and poured hot black oil all over his turret.
 The bomber's score of enemy shot down included six Focke-Wulfs and one MEl09.

 To be most productive, the back yard flock requires considerable att tention and care, but these duties need not be laboyious. Regularity in performing the daily tasks is advisable, and one person in the family should be in charge of the flock. Others may help, of course.
 Tn recent years the feeding of poultry has been siInplifled by the use of commercial feed mixtures that contain all necessary ingred- tents, including minerals and vita- mins. Young birds require grow ing ration and mature bullets and hens a laying ration. Modern prac- tice is to give the feed dry, in hopperS. Throwing grain into the litter on the floor is insanitary and otherwise an outmoded method of feeding.
 CLEAN WATER ESSENTIAL
 Table scraps, dry bread, and other household foods, if wholesome, may be given in trough provided for the purpose. But do not give the flock moldy or other spoiled food. Also, any table scraps not eaten within a reasonable time should be removed before they spoil. Spoiled feed invites digestive trouble and may cause death.
 A constant supply of clean water is essential to- the well-being and

 Appointment of district judges by the Governor.
 Prohibiting salaried state officers from contributing to political party funds.
 A pay increase of i2 and one.half per cent for state policemen.
 Free transportation for persons in the armed services.
 Prohibiting persons from holding Legislative or executive, legislative or judicial, or executive judicial positions at the same time.
 The senate approved the following bills:
 Amending the Milford town court charter.
 Granting state prison inmates pay increases up to i5 cents e day for working on federal contracts.
 Granting two weeks salary to former motor vehicle inspectors who were dismissed when the inspection lanes closed March IS, 1889.
 Extending the authority of the Greenwich commissioner of public welfare.
 Authorizing the State Board of Education to receive and expend federal funds.
 6ouSe~approVeu plllS i1cIuQeQ:
 Stipulating qualifications of prop erty owners to vote at town meet inngs.
 Setting up a state board of ex- aminers of nurses, composed of five registered nurses appointed by the governor for three years.
 The house judiciary committee re. ported unfavorably on a bill to im- pose a five per cent tax on interest and dividends, and the fish and game committee turned down a bill proposing free hunting and fishing licenses for men in the armed serv. ices.
 Favorably reported were the judgeship resolutions of Walter A. Reynolds and Edward s. Pitz- Schler of Newtown.
