Commissioners Aqree
To Seek Extension

The Commissioners have agreed
to seek legislation extending the
District Rent Control Act until
December 81. 1916, and Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond B. Keech al
ready is drafting the necessary leg
islation
Recently Senator McCarran, men,
ber of the Senate District Commit
tee, advocated continuation of rent
control for another year. even with
the Pacific war over. The present
act expires December 81.
Under the law, rents under the
jurisdiction of the rent control ad-
ministrator were frozen as of jan
uary /, 1941, although the office did
not start functioning until Janu-
airy i. 1912.
Housing to Stay Acute.
The act also sought to prevent
eviction of tenants without cause
and even guarantees undesirable
tenants 30-day notice and court
hearing before eviction. Robert F
Cogswell. rent administrator, saio
that while the number of persons
seeking to regain occupancy OF
leased homes is increasing, the Law
will assure the great majority Of
tenants that they can remain where
they are
Mr.. Cogswell said he foresaw nc
change for the better in the acute
housing situation in the next year
In urging such legislation, Senator
McCarran said that washington
swollen population is not going to
fall sharply Immediately at the end
of hostilities"
Funds Provided.
According to Mr.. Keech, the Dis.
trict had rent control measures as
long as seven years after the las,
var, with the measures beginning
in May. 1918. He said the last case
under the old act was not completed
until 1927.
Continuation of the act was ap-
parently anticipated by Congress
which appropriated funds for Mr.
Cogswell's Office for the fiscal yeal

"The predictions the writer made
seemed fantastic to me at the time
But they don't now.
"Our scientists have established

tical. believe it will result in many
wonderful benefits. It may run
automobiles, trains, planes. 1t may
furnish power and fuel.
when the steam engine and elec-
trical power first were discovered

Awed by Atomic Bomb Hope and Fear Mnqed in Comment

Here are comments Of some who
consented to be quoted:
r. w. Frost, bus driver, $40 Eighth
street Sc: 7 don't think they'll let
any other nation have this secret,
and that's the only thing that need
worry us. We won't use 1t except for
our own protection. Our scientists
will work on it. Perhaps they'll find
many good uses for it. I hope so.
No one knows. But meanwhile, de-
spite its destructive force, it has ac-
complished good-it has ended this
war in victory for us"
Sees Boon for Mankind.
r. T. Lawrence, industrial engi-
neer, 2205 California avenue NV:
IF it's half as good as reported,
what 1t will do for mankind eventu-
ally is beyond our present compre-
hension. We will develop new
world in transportation, in manu-
featuring, in the maintenance of
homes. It will become as revolu-
tionary as electricity has proved
within our memory. Now that
they've uncovered the power Of
atomic energy, there should be no
limit to what 1t can do for us in the
future.
II don't think we need fear the
destructive force, which is the only
demonstration we have had. We
have controlled many other destruc-
tive forces - dynamite, electricity,
nitroglycerine, to name a few. Why
not this greater power? We have
been able to use those forces for the
benefit of mankind. I believe that
will prove just as true of atomic
power.
II don't think we need fear it. I
think we can regard it with hope
and confidence as another milestone
in the progress Of humanity"

In 1943, the PUG ordered reduc-
ton in the rate of return from 6ia
per cent to 5A per cent, but this
order was set aside by District Court.
The commission did not appeal the
decision, but reconsidered the case
and established rate Of return of
6 per cent, which was accepted by
the company. -
At the hearing last August, no
change was made in the existing

Ex-British Subject Becomes Champion
CAPITAL Blood Donor With % Pints
R. DorreII Liehtbourn
Followed Closely by
J. R. Bourne With II

r. Darrell Lightbourn, Al, former
British subject who became an
American citizen during the war,
wins the title of champion Red Cross
blood donor in the District for World
War II. Since November of 1910,
he has given 31a gallons of blood.
Mr.. Lightbourn, an employe of
the war products division, Firestone
Tire and Rubber Co., established a
new record at the Red Cross Blood
Donor Center, 81 Louisiana avenue
NV, when he donated his 28th pint
Of blood yesterday.
Convinced that his nearest COM
petitors could not equal that record
before the official announcement of
peace, Red Cross workers promptly
bestowed the title on him.
The runner-up, James R. Bourne,
Of 4461 Greenwich parkway NV,
who has given 27 pints Of blood, is
out of town on vacation.
Expects 1t to be His Last.
Although the center will continue
to take 20" type blood after peace
is declared, Mr.. Lightbourn believes
his 18th pint will be his last for the
fighting men.
He is ready to 60 on giving as
long as it doesn't interfere with his
health, but he doesn't have the
20" type blood needed for postwar
shipments of whole blood to the
Pacific.
Mr.. Lightbourn came to Washing
ton in October. 1889, from Bermuda
where he operated a small hotel
until Britains declaration of war
stopped the tourist trade.
He gave his first pint November
10, 1910, shortly after the center
opened in the old Naval Hospital.
Il promised then I would keep
it as long as my health held out.
1t was one way I could help" he
said simply.
Mr.. Lightbourn celebrated the
day he received his American citi-
zenship by making blood dona-
ton. The date, February 3, 1912,
Is inscribed on ring he wears. The
ring was gift from his wife, an
employe of the Navy Department.
Son With British Navy.
The Lightbourns, who have three
children Of their own and an adopt
ed daughter, live at 3051 Idaho ave-
nue. NV. Their son, John, 81. is
fighting with the British Navy. A
son-in-law. Marten McGillem, IS
in the U. S. Army in Germany.
The only member of the family
who had trouble was nephew I
practically raised. He got too close
to some bombs in London" said Mr..
Lightbourn.
The nephew, Arthur C. Plant, re-
ceived a medical discharge from
the British Air Force and has re-
turned to Bermuda.
A year ago Mr.. Lightbourn heard
about the Coast Guard Reserve
and joined up as a volunteer fire
fighter. In Bermuda, he belonged
to the Constabulary, comparable
to this country's National Guard.
All the volunteers at the blood
donor center know him now.
Il made your first pint of blood
into plasma," Mrs. Vivian Rubinear,
technician, recalled. I'm those days
we were lucky to get eight donors a
day. Now we have 5000 a week"

Hope and fear seem mingled in
the average citizens feeling about
the most revolutionary discovery OF
this era-the atomic bomb.
He hopes good will come out of it
He fears it's terrific destructive force,
doubling that it always can be kept
from men of evil intent, from the
Hitlers of the future.
Various shades of this typical re-
action were found in a large num-
ber of persons who may be said to
represent a cross-section of COM

between, following divergent occu-
pations. .
Many Sorry About Weapon.
Some said fatty they were sorry
the bomb was invented. Others were
glad it had, with reservations. Near
ly all disclosed a bewildered attitude
toward it, state of hardly knowing
what to think. There were those,
however, who projected into the fu-
ture all sorts of benefits now that
the principle OF atomic force mas
been harnessed in one form.
There were many who refused to
be quoted or allowed their names to
be used reluctantly. These didn't
seem quite to know why they wanted
to keep out of any public dicus-
sion of the amazing and little
understood fury which science has
loosed.
II think it means the end of the
world" said an elderly housewife.
mo, you can't quote me-"
But why"
"You just can't" she insisted, al
most flercely. "I don't want to get
mixed up in It," And she walked
away.
Nearly every one appeared dis
turbed by the news, in one way or
another. Nobody examined the
problem complacently.
