SoIons Hail Lend-Leose
 Termination
By R. H. SHACKFORD

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Aug. 25.-(UP)- Members of the U. S. Senate today enthusiastically endorsed President Truman,s termination of the lend- lease program and blasted any Brit ish hopes for a change in the de- cision.
 Senators agreed with the Presi- dent and lend-lease administrator Leo Crowley that lend-lease was a war measure and never intended for postwar use-even for few weeks or months.
 Britain's Hopes Ended
 The immediate reaction to British criticism of the 'abruptness" with which the program was ended made it quite clear that the decision was final, despite Winston Churchills blunt statement that he couldn't believe it was the last word of the United States.
 Evenssuch loyal follower of the late President Roosevelt as Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y., said the British must have known" the situation.

Rent Controls Rennoin Fixed In Waterbury
 McDuff Cites Fact
 Crowded Conditions
 PrevoiI in City

George McDuff, OPA rent admin istrator for the Waterbury area, said today that no changes in rent controls have been made by the na- tional OPA for the area. and that the regulations in force before Sur render Day still hold.
 Evidently impressed by the lift ing of job controls and certain ra- tioning regulations, hundreds of local residents have called at the area rent office for information about "new rent regulations" 1t was disclosed.
 Must Await Change
 MT. McDuff pointed out that the rent rules will be relaxed only when the population decreases noticeably and q substantial supply of rents results, and that changes will then be made only on instructions from Washington.
 At the present time landlords are not allowed to increase rents unless they can prove that capital im- provementS have been made, that operating expenses have risen sharply, or that extensive renova- ton work has been done.
 Numerous veterans returning here are expected to seek rents, and no improvement in the supply of hous- es and apartments is expected for sometime, 1t was indicated. Scores of veterans are reported to have called at the rent office to request aid in finding rents.

CIo Seeks Governors Wage Aid

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 25-(UP)- Leaders of the Connecticut CIO sought Gov. Baldwin's support to- day of a program calling for 50 per cent increase in industrial wages, retention of existing price ceilings, higher jobless benefits and inauguration of statewide public works scheduled.
 The governor also was asked by Robert F. Mintz, field organizer for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, to call special session of the legisla- ture to enact minimum wage rate of 65 cents an hour.
 Accuses Management
 As spokesman for the union group. Mintz told the governor that manufacturers were violating labor management contracts and that the CIO leaders were dubious about extending the no-strike cooperation into the peacetime period if Con- necticut industrialists and business attempt to take advantage of their workers"
 Gov. Baldwin forecast "tremen- dous demands for Connecticut's peacetime products to replace war planes and military ordnance" and he expected reconversion would be accomplished speedily. He said he would consider calling the legisla- ture into special session after con- gress had approved a program to combat imitation and to speed up unemployment.
 T am confident" he said, "that the Connecticut legislature would give whole hearted support to. any congressional action aimed at solv- mg these difficult problems"

Expect Automobile Prices To Be Higher Than 1922

According to United Press sources new car price ceilings will be fixed on the basis of this three-point formula:
 l. Each car makers ls4l pro- duction costs, and
 9. Estimated production cost inc creases since then. plus
 3. A profit allowance based on each manufacturer's average earn- ings in the 1e36-ie39 period.
 Under this formula, 1t was said. no flat percentage increase on all cars was possible and the price boosts will differ on the various makes.
 Varied Differences
 The difiiculty of fixing new price formulas was heightened by the fact that some car makers boosted lhoir prices ln iDli while others waited another year before raising lheItH. Production costs varied among lho companies according to theif eIns

To Release NyIons Soon

Washington, Aug. 25-CUP)-A wartime order which prohibits the use of nylon for the manufacture of hosiery still was in force today although the textile has been re- leased from all other governmental controls.
 A War Production Board official said it was possible the order may be revoked next Monday. Its cancel lation now is under consideration by the inter-agency order clearance committee.
 Lack Agreement
 The reason for the delay in re- vocation of the order was ascribed to lack of agreement among govern ment agencies on an industry pro- posal for a uniform. controlled plan for releasing the hosiery to the con- sumner. [
 Meanwhile, WIPE went ahead with its program to divest itself of most of It's controls except for those nee cessary to break bottlenecks to re- conversion. to prevent hoarding. to control inventories and to help small buiness.

 Seek Help

Although laundries and dry-clear1- ing establishments are no longer bound by the restrictions in force during the war years, Waterbur- lans may have to wait many weeks yet before they will get the prompt and all-inclusive service of pre-war days. 1t was indicated by operators today.

United Press Staff Correspondent) San Francisco, Aug. 25.-(UP)- Radio Tokyo said today that Japan csc were committing mass hari-kari in front of Emperor Hirohito's pal ace.
 The enemy broadcast reported that large numbers were killing themselves, presumably in the tra- 6itional manner of diSembowelment ny daggers, as the hour for the American occupation of their home land neared.

Registronts 1925 Still EssentioI

Washington, Aug. 25 = (UP) - The shooting has ended, manpower controls have been abolished, but physically fit registrants 1925 who leave draft-deferred jobs still are liable for immediate induction, it was learned today.
 Orders have been sent from Na- tional Selective Service Headquar- ters here to state headquarters that the rule against wartime work shifting still is in effect. This has brought up a complicated situation which has been thrown in the laps of local draft boards.
 Job Controls Off The War Manpower Commission abolished all job controls irnnedi-- ately upon Japan's announced sur- render. A man presumably could take of and work anywhere.
 But Maj. Gen. Lewis B. HerShey's draft ofiice followed this with a di- rective stating that. "other govern ment agencies may have given cer- tain registrants the erroneous im- precision that it is no longer neces- sary for them to obtain favorable determination from local boards be- fore leaving the employment for which they are deferred
 This applies not only to job- jumpers but to those who lose out in cutbacks for factories previously classed as essential. They will not be considered to have thrown up their jobs, but local boards still will have the power to put them in IA as immediately eligible for induc- tion.
 50,0OO A Month
 A spokesman in Hershey's office explained that from now on the draft call will be only .50,000 month. Most of these, he said, will come from the 1S-year old class. Many of those who have been defer red will be nearing the 25-year-old limit, the oldest that will be induct- ed.
 He said local boards may be con- siderate of those who have been holding essential jobs if they are in the older bracket and enough 18- year-olds are available for each call.
 The future of the ruling may hinge on the manner in which the American occupation of Japan is received next week, it was believed.
 Selective Service recently abolish- ed the requirmnt that 4-F regis- trants holding essential jobs notify their draft boards if they changed employment, and also did away with drafting of job-quitting 4-Fs.
