The upward spiral hit Cleveland
with such velocity today that Gov.

Gov. Maurice J. Tobin of Massa-
chusetts issued an executive order
freezing rents and present figures.
Situation Summarized.
The nearby Virginia situation was
summarized by Miss Eleanor B. Nu-
gent, president of the Arlington
Alexandria, Fairfax Real Estate
Board.
The definite opinion of the ma
jority of our members is that no
rent increases should be recon-
mended until major improvements
have become necessary to properties
that have become neglected because
of manpower and material short
age" she said.
I'VE believe the drastic attempts
to increase rentals disproportionately
will be ably handled by our munich
pal authorities" she continued. In
our opinion, rent gougers will be
denied the use of eviction proceed
ings when it is obvious that the ten
ant has been asked to pay an unfair
increase. Our local authorities can
maintain a stable rental situation
without the need for costly Federal
agencies such as OPA, whose oper-
ating costs must after all be borne
by taxpayers"
1t was estimated the Virginia Real
Estate Boards members controlled
rents for about 100000 residents,

COP House Leaders
Draft Resolution 10
Renew Rent Control

Republican House leaders drafted
a new Office of Price Administra-
ton rent control resolution today as
nearby Virginians were cheered by
reports thai majority of area real
tors oppose immediate increases.
Representative Wolcott, Repub-
lican, of Michigan said he would Of
fer the resolution to revitalize rent
control. Should it pass it would
block any increases in rents already
announced by landlords-provided
OPA orders such rollback
The senior Republican on the
House Banking Committee told
newsmen the resolution would be
separate and apart" from any leg
islation to restore the general func-
ton of OPA. He said he would
oppose a 20-day stopgap for OPA
since he believes no better bill could
be written than the one President
Truman vetoed.
Good News for Nearby Tenants.
Among the first bits of good news
to greet suburban tenants was a
statement from the Alexandria
Arlington Fairfax Real Estate
Boards Executive Committee ex-
pressing the opinion that rents
should remain static for the pres
ent. 1t was estimated the board
spoke for 30 per cent of the land
lords in Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria, including
those operating the larger apart
ment developments.
Whether nearby Maryland renters
could expect similar leniency re-
manned unanswered for the most
part. One instance was noted where
rents of three tenants in a large
development were raised SIT since
the Office of Price Administration
died last night.
Leo w. Dunn, Mount Rainier real
tor and member of the Prince
Georges County Real Estate Board
said he knew of no immediate plans
for raising rents in the county. He
thought things will stay pretty
much as they are until we find out
what, if anything, the Government
plans to do next
Outside the District. New York
and Massachusetts, protected by
separate laws and executive orders,
the Nation appeared doomed to an
upward swing in rents unless Con-
gress quickly acts to curb the trend.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia spoke for such legislation when
he called for quick enactment of a

Mayf1ower Hotels reported that

They added, however, that chickens
were not available last week.
Trade Board Plans Survey.
Many businesses issued statements
that they would do everything pos
sible to adhere to President Tru-
mans request for voluntary price
control
An official of the Restaurant AS
sociation of Washington predicted
that because of the competitive
situation in the industry itself and
with housewives" restaurants would
not increase prices
The Washington Board of Trade
intends to survey the situation but
believes that such a check could not
be made for several days. An official
voiced confidence that most estab-
lishments will hold the line.
Merchants and shoppers were
waiting to see whether Congress
would revive the Office of Price Ad-
ministration and whether their
competitors and suppliers would
take advantage of the first chance
to raise prices without the permis-
sion of the Government.
A check of local dairies showed
milk prices unchanged. However,
it was pointed out the end of sub.
sidy payments made an early in
crease inevitable.
Waiting for Supplies.
Storekeepers, according to an in
formal survey. unanimously declared
that they would not raise prices un-
less their suppliers did A clerk was
spotted carefully removing the price
tags from the window of mems
store, but inside the merchandise
still bore ceiling price tags and he,
too, insisted that he would hold the
line.
A liquor dealer quoted a price of
$4.19 for unaged corn ''liqueur. :"
Down the street his competitor still
was selling scarce standard brand
Of bourbon liquor for $780,
And don't think they won't put
OPA back. Because if they don't
you and I will be in a sorry mess, -
this dealer commented.
His remark sounded like news be-
cause the rest of the merchants
hoped they had seen the last of the
OPA, extra bookkeeping and short
ages.
Retail mark-ups have been pretty
fair and I don't think they'll change

OPA ceiling prices for meat" He
declared that was something so
per cent of them have been doing
anyway"
Erwin Wernke, president of the
Louisville tKyD Provision Co., pre-
dicted meat price rise of S cents
a pound. Dan Mckinney secre-
tary of the California Cattlemen's
Association, said an increase of 10
per cent in meat prices was possible
but this would be mo higher than
pi resent black market rates"
Urge Line Be Held.
In Detroit the directors of the
American Hotel Association sent tel
egrams to its 48 State organizations
urging that no increase be made
in prices. J. E. Frawley, board
chairman, said menu prices should
be held at present levels unless a
rise in food prices forces an in
crease in meal prices"
Senator Taft, in defending his
amendment, termed presidential
criticism of 1t utterly unfair" He
said all it does is provide that "pro-
ducers, including farmers, shall be
allowed to charge prices which re-
fleet the increased cost of labor and
material which they now have to

Senator Taft saw it as Significant
that the President admits" his
amendment would have no direct
effect on food Or rents. In reference
to the Presidents argument that, if

said.
Il admit that ultimately there

prices but there were a few evi-
dences of hurried changes in grocery
stores.
One grocer had raised the price
of oranges from 13 cents pound
TO 6 cents piece. A customer
looked annoyed
Hereafter, you pay 20 cents a
glass for beer at my place" he re-
marked
The truck driver delivering bread
suddenly had an idea.
I'm going to take an hour off
ana sell my car before Congress puts
those ceilings back on" he an
nounced.
A grocer who had not raised his
prices contlded that his supplier had
asked 11s cents above ceiling for
pound of butter and we'll above
ceiling 1or fruits this morning.
II wouldn't take it," he said.
Fall Clothing Prices Higher.
A poultry store on Fourteenth
street was asking IA. cents above
the ceiling for broilers. But a
housewife reported the dealer had
charged the same price last week, in
spite of the OPA.
Scarce radios, refrigerators, type
writers and luggage still were listed
at "OPA ceiling price" Statesmen
explained that they are only the
dealers for the manufacturers who
set the retail prices.
There was no sign of changes in
prices at F street clothing stores
either.
Prices will 60 up, but it won't all
be the result of taking of ceilings" "
the manager of a woman's store
said We've already ordered our
fall clothes. The prices are higher
all along the line. OPA let them
go up"
Downtown statesmen pooh-poohed
the idea that clothing prices would
skyrocket, but one dealer on Con-
necticut avenue was apprehensive.

said that prices already were out

A small neighborhood storekeeper
anxiously inquired about his COM
petitor.
Il saw you come out of the store
down the street. Whats he done
about prices?"
This merchant said he didn't know
what he was going TO do.
How do I know what III be
charged? How do I know what he's
going to charge? We are just wait
ing to see"
Gasoline and oil prices in this
area remained unchanged today, ac-
cording to local officials of several
large producers and distributors. A
spokesman for the Socony Vacuum
Oil Co. declared he doubted that
there will be any increase here as a
result of the price control law ter
mination.
Officials of the Standard Oil Co.
Of New Jersey, Gulf Oil Corp. and
the Shell Oil Co. said their Offices
have received no notice of contem-
plated increases for this section.
They added, however, that it is still
too early to discuss the situation
in detail
No Radio Increase Expected.
Because the OPA authorized price
increases on radios about a month
ago no further cost rise is expected
at this time, an official of the Camp
hell Mi1Sic Store said
A suburban dealer in washing
machines and appliances such as
electric irons said the consensus of
dealers" is that there will be no ap-
preciable increase in the price of
such articles as a result of price
control termination. He saw the
possibility of some price increases
later by retail stores because of
higher labor costs.

ber of Commerce asked its members

In Oregon tenants could draw
