RENTALS LIABLE
 TO REMAIN NOW
 AS OF MARCH '42

Congress renewed the Emergency Price Control Act July 1 extending rent control for another year. The Office of Price Administration states that the Extension Act au- thorized the Price Administrator to enact two amendments to the Rent Regulations. The amendments pro- vide two new grounds on which landlords can petition for rent ad- justmentS.
 In passing the new amendments Congress made it unmiStakably clear that it wished OPA to main- tain and continue effective rent controls. The new amendments are merely an extension of OPA's de- clared policy of allowing fair and reasonable rent adjustments under special conditions. They do not provide for any general rent raises. The first amendment provides that rent adjustment may be made where the rent on March l, 1922, was materially affected by peculiar circumstances resulting in a substantially lower rent than was generally prevailing in the defense rental area for comparable housing accommodations. E. P McCarron, Alaska Rent Director, cited as an example the case of a niece whose aunt left her a, house under the terms of a will. During the time relatives were contesting the will the house was rented at $50 a month, which was registered as the maximum rent, although sim- liar houses in the neighborhood usually rented for $50 a month. After the dispute is settled and the niece obtains full control of the property she is in position to pe- tition the OPA Area Rent Office for an adjustment, and it will be allowed
 The second amendment provides for upward rent adjustments where landlords can establish that a sub- stantial hardship has resulted from substantial decrease in the net in- come of a property for the current year as compared with repre- sentative period prior to March |, 1942. The hardship must be result of a substantial and unavoidable in- crease in property taxes or operat- ing costs" McCarron said. No con- sideration will be given to cases that fail to show more than per cent decrease in net income. To qualify for a rent adjustment, the land- lord has also to prove that a rent was substantially below prevailing rates for similar dwellings in his community.
 At the Area Rent Office in Ju neau, where notices of the amend ments were received, the opinion was expressed that few landlords will be able to qualify for upward rent adjustments by reason of the two new amendments. It was eX- pected that many landlords would file petitions for increased rents but that few would be able to qualify. Each case will be carefully con- sidered and investigated in every detail, h owever. While these amendments will result in some in- creases for some landlords, there is to be no general boost in rents" McCarron said. Congress took the Rent Regulation apart piece by piece, and we are still under orders from it to hold the line against inflated rentals"

Self-SupportIng.
The Work Shop is self support
ing effort which depends entirely
upon contributions to carry on its
work. Clothes for every age and
every climate are gratefully ac-
cepted, Mrs. Boeckel declared. Even
clothes that can no longer be worn
are gladly received, she added, pro-
vided there still remains in them
good material. Scraps of cloth for
patchwork quilts, buttons and sew
ing materials; in fact, everything
except old straw hats are utilized
at the Work Shop and converted
into clothes for the pitiful refugees
OF Europe. Contributions of money
are also acceptable to pay cleaning
and shipping bills and to repair
shoes of which dozens of pairs were
being packed for shipment last week.
Baby layettes are included in the
boxes shipped by the women at the
Work Shop and are in greatest de-
mand by the impoverished young
mothers of war-torn Europe. Many
of these layettes have reached
France, from where an interesting
request has come for babys "didies"
of sufficient size to tie rather than
pin, as French mothers apparently
1isapprove of safety pins close to the
baby's skin.
One OF the most faithful workers
on baby garments is Mrs. Louis D.
Brandeis, widow of the late associ-
ate justice of the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Brandeis has won considerable
admiration from her co-workers for
her fine feather stitching on baby
clothes.

The Washington Work Room was

Boeckel both work faithfully three

include Mrs. Grace Lowry, chair
man, former director of Interna-
tlonal Student House, and Mrs.
Joyce Thompson, executive director.
Mrs. John O'Rourke, Mrs. Harold
Stabler, Mrs. Walter L. Wright and
Mrs. A. E. Dubber preside as chair
men on different days when the shop
is open from 10 am. until pm.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
OF each week. Mrs Lowry is chair
man at an evening meeting from
7:30 to 10 o'clock each Wednesday.
Mrs. Robert Clause is chairman of
the contributing group.
When finished all clothing is
packed by workers in sacks and
shipped to the distribution center
in Philadelphia. The workers in
genuity has again been shown in
utilization of old feed bags to hold
the garments, which are pressed
fiat in the bags to enable as many |
as possible to be sent in one Ship
ping.
The work room invites women in |
terested in sewing for these worthy
purposes to join the group at the
Florida Avenue Meeting House.
Workers are needed to sort, mend. |
cut and sew on garments and to |
pack them when ready for shipping.

which can be left at the Meeting
House every day except Saturday,

American Friends Service Committee
Work Room Here Makes
Clothing for w orlds Needy
By Gretchen Smith,
women's Club Editor

One Of the least-publicized phil
anthropic groups in the city is the
Washington Work Room of the
American Friends Service Commit
tee, which meets three times week
at the Friends Meeting House, 2l11
Florida avenue NV, to sew and re-
store clothing for needy persons in
practically every corner of the
world.
The Washington Work Room
which was formally organized last
october by admirers of work of the
Friends Society both in this and in
the last World War, is more or less
an expanded service of the sewing
circle which has met at the Flor
ida avenue address for many years,
under the Craftsmanship of Mrs.
Harold B. Stabler, and of the sewing
group which meets at the Friends
School.
Comprising many nom Friends in
its membership, the Washington
Work Room has shipped over $500
garments to civilian men, women
and children in England and North
Africa since it really got under
way" last November.
1t was explained that increasing
need for clothes has developed in
North Africa in recent months.
Hundreds of French children, who
were sent there because food was
more plentiful than in France, have
found themselves stranded, and
while food and lodging is provided
for them it is difficult to secure
clothes. AS many of the children
have grown so in recent months the
little clothing they possessed on
their arrival from France is now
scarcely wearable.
Volunteer Workers.
Mrs. Harry C. January, a volun-
teer at the shop, described an inter-
view last week with Quaker work.
er, Leslie Heath, recently returned
from North Africa. Mr.. Heath told
how clothes sent by the Friends are
meeting a dire need in that part of
the world, where many of those in
refugee camps are literally in rags
having been without fresh supply
Of clothes for as long as two years.
The greatest ingenuity in remod-
cling clothes and retaining gar
ments and odd bits of cloth has
been displayed by the women at the
Work Shop. Old felt hats have been
ripped, cleaned and pressed and the
material used to make bedroom slip
pers. Two beautifully tailored chill
dren's coats were on exhibit at the
shop last week, one made from COL
lege banner and one from a heavy
flannel piano cover. A serviceable
pair of overalls and a jacket for
little boy had also been cleverly con-
structed from neutral-colored chair
cover, while dozens of gay patch
work bed coverings had been pieced
together from bits of cloth or old
clothing too worn for further use.
incidentally, Mrs. Richard Boeckel,
one of the organizers of the group,
said that patchwork quilts had
stirred up considerable interest in
England, where apparently, they had
never been seen before. Although
many are under the impression that
American pioneer housewives intro
duced quilting" from the old coun-
try, 1T is obvious, according to re-
ports which have reached Mrs.
Boeckel that it is entirely an Ameri-
can handiwork.

Boeckel said, land that His Majesty's
