Rent Control 10 End
Soon in Many Cities,
.0PA Tells Congress
BY the Associated Press,

6S tIe ASSCCldIcQ ETeSk.
OPA has told members of Con-
greSs that most rationing will
end this year." while rent control
will be scrapped in Is to 100
cities within four or five months.
The forecasts were made in a
report sent to Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives recently by Price Admin
istrator Chester Bowles.
1t outlined for the guidance Of
legislators this present outlook" for
the removal of price ceilings and
ration rules:
Both meats and shoes will be un-
rationed by the end of 1945;
Fats and oils may be rationed into
1916; at least, the shortage is likely
to last that long; and
Sugar is impossible to predict"
Tire Rationing Stays.
On tires Mr.. Bowles missed his
guess. His report said truck tire
rationing might end by August 81
That date has passed and OPA men
now think both truck and passenger
tires may be rationed until the first
OF the year.
In this connection. John L. Col
lyer, president of the B. F. Good
rich Co., said last night motorists
should be able to buy tires, ration
free, before the end of the year
Rent controls obviously will have
to continue for some time" Some
may linger until Congress ends the
Federal program and turns the
problem over to States or local
communities to handle, Mr.. Bowles
said.
Eight Areas Lose Rent Control.
OPA meantime will remove rent
ceilings whenever and wherever ii
can be done without rent imitation, -
he went on, adding:
Already eight areas have been
decontrolled (rent ceilings lifted
The number decontrolled probably
will increase by rs or 100 during
the next four or five months"
| In positive action for tighter
protection of tenants, however, OPA
last night increased from three to
six months the waiting period dur.
ing which a dwelling buyer may no,
evict a tenant in order to move In
himself.
The rule will be effective In al
487 Federal rental areas, unless the
area director decides that three
months is adequate.
Forecast on Price Regulation.
The report to legislators also gave
a step-by-step outline of the re.
moval of price regulations, but fore.
cast no dates. In summary, Il
showed:
Basic metals-early release from
ceilings.
Luxury products-Some ceiling
already removed, others coming of
Foods-"Will be released from
controls, commodity by commodity
as soon as the supply situation per
mits. Sugar. fats and oils and meat
will be among the last foods to b.
removed from price control
Clothing-The program to reduc,
prices will be pressed vigorously
/ Building materials-No early re-
moval Of ceilings seen.

washers and "Likel,

some time"

GETS RELICS AND SCARE IN VISIT TO JAP CAVE

Merchant Marine Glenn Gilli is on his way home with a Jap flag and other mementos of visit to a cave on Two Jina. He carries with him also the recollection of the fright he experienced upon learning later that there had been several live Japs in the cave at the time of his souvenir hunting visit.
 Gilli describes it in this fashion: Hast week we went into a cave that ran 300 feet in and under the ground. There were dead Japs all over the deck of the cave. I took a Jap flag and some money off one big fellow who must have been six feet tall. He was a Jap Navyman. I'll show you the things when l get home.
 But today Gone week later) some of the fellows from the boat were on the Island and learned that the SeeBees took nine live Japs out of the cave we were in right after we were there.
 "So from now on I'm going to keep out of all caves. Since I've lived this long I intend to stay alive enough longer to get home.' ,
 NOTE: Gilli's letter is dated August 1 and said he would be on his way home in 40 days but that it would take his ship another 30 days to make the trip.

ALL BLOOMFIELD
 CELEBRATED VI DAY
But Residents, for Most Part Were Restrained in Expressions

out Greater HarCIOfO Qurlng CIle AS hour period designated for the celebration of Japan's surrender and a local girl found herself charged with breaking the peace, Bloomfield residents, for the most part, held their joy in restraint.
 An impromptu parade organized by the local fire companies and led by the town manager was the most spirited outburst displayed here and that was short lived. Brief also was the period during which local church bells were kept ring ing. Motorists footed their horns in friendly greeting throughout the evening and throughout the night numerous neighborhood part ies reflected the state of happiness that word of the Nip equalization had brought to the townspeople, but nowhere here was there any great hullabaloo.
 Not so however, was the case III downtown Hartford where autos packed with noise crazed occupants verged in one vast flood tide of traffic and swarmed from curb to curb throughout the business area. They darted here and slammed on the breaks there. Celebrants clust- cred the runningboards, holding on for dear life, waving flags, trailing festoons of ticker tape, throwing and ducking fire crackers which banged all about.
 There also they played repeat performance the following night which developed a disturbance of near riot proportions and ended with the arrest of six of a crowd of at least a thousand, mostly teen agers who set off bonfires under traffic stalled cars, tried to tip over police cruisers, rang in seven false fire alarms and jeered police and firemen.
 In this unseemly demonstration, Bloomfield's younger set was rep resented. Twenty year old Anne Ovseychik of 1925 Blue Hills Av- enue, four boys from Hartford and 8 Glastonbury youth were finally arrested on chages of breach of the peace.
 The Bloomfield girls arrest oc- cured when she allegedly turned in 8 false alarm which brought seven companies to the vicinity of the Heublein Hotel to the great alarm of the buildings occupants. Earlier it was said she was ob served throwing lighted paper under an automobile on Central Row.
 All six arrested were held in jail two nights and a day but upon their apologies to the court there cases were nolled by Police Court Judge Moylan who had said pre- viously, "you acted like barabar- ians and need an old fashioned horse whipping"
 But on Bloomfield streets and roads, recollection of the price of the victory-the number of lives lost, the woe of the injured and af- flicted-tempered the spirit of jubliation.

Burial was in Mountain View Cemetery.
 MT. Foxall was born in Chester, England, on June IA, 1892 but came to this country as young lad. He graduated from Mt. Her mon in 1919, from Amherst Col lege in 1925 and the Bangor, Maine Theological Seminary.
