them," Mr.. Cogswell said. Instead,
he added, disgruntled property own
ers have decided to sell their houses
rather than rent at l941 freeze
date" level.
Patrick's Aid Asked.
Declaring he was surprised at
the charges, Mr.. Cogswell said he
had expected that if any complaints
were made, they would come from
property owners rather than ten
ants.
In reply to Mr.. Patrick's as
sertion that a house was rented for
$50 and sublet for 1928, Mr.. Cogs-
we'll said he knew of no such in
stance. He said that if Mr.. Patrick
would supply his Office with details
a check would be made. There was
a possibility, Mr.. Cogswell said, that
the house was sublet on a rooming
house basis and thus brought
greater revenue.
Mr.. Patrick also declared that an
apartment he formerly rented In
a downtown hotel for $125 month
now was being rented to another
tenant for $3.50 month.
His own housing problem, he
added, has not yet been solved
though he is staying at present at
the Continental Hotel. He said he
had contracted to rent a suburban
house about month ago, but that
the present tenant has been unable
to find another place and there
fore has not moved.

gram, Mr.. Haycock added, a point to

ming sweeping revision of its ap-
parel programs, with special en-
phasis on the protection" of mex

Stating the plan will be put into
effect early this year, WPB said
tnat, while manufacturers will con-
tinue to have unrestricted use Of
some cotton goods, Government
controls will be spread lover much
larger proportion of this material"
IF necessary the plan will be ex-
tended to wool and rayon," the
agency said.
At the same time WPB said that
"eyen after the European war
enough hides and manpower to
make shoes for free (unrationed
demand cannot be made available
for many months"
The OPA already has announced
there Is not enough leather to con-
tinue shoe rationing at the rate Of
two pairs year.
The Tightening of cotton yarn
control is expected to double the
amount of material manufacturers
must set aside for essential infants
and children's wear. This would be
boost from the current 10000, 900
yard program to roughly 10000, 900
yards.
In addition, it is planned to in
crease the ALLEGATION OF cotton yarn
for essential mems and women's
clothing from the present 40 to so
per cent to perhaps 80 per cent Of
manufacturers materials. This
would sharply reduce output Of such
less essential garments as drapes

Fred G Gurley, president of the
Santa Fe Railroad, and R. v.

their criticism at the Justice De-
partment
Mr.. Gurley, before a joint meet
ing of the Traffic Club of Chicago

most unwarranted attacks ever
made upon great American insti-
tuition"

Mr.. Gurley said. ut contains only

The Attorney General and the
Assistant Attorneys General all

Ing to a ritual of retribution."
Contending that Congress and
the War Production Board have
legalized the socalled conference
method of initiating railroad rates
during the war, Mr.. Fletcher said
in addressing the Executives Club:
1T is a tragic thing for men to
be charged with violations of the
