Rent Control SAVINGS
For Last Half Of 1916
Put at 100000 Here

Rent control saved District ten
ants more than 100000 during the
six months ending December 81, the
Commissioners were told yesterday
In his 10th Semi-annual report to
the city heads, District Rent Control
Administrator Robert F. Cogswell
said his Office handled total OF
3,110 petitions for rent adjustments
on old properties, with $40 cases yet
to be disposed Of.
OF the total, 1878 cases were de-
cided in favor of the tenants, he
said. Computed on an annual basis,
savings to the tenants were esti-
mated at $231,781.
$192,S06 Saved ON New Housing.
At the same time, 1897 cases in
volving old properties were disposed
of with an estimated annual rent
increase of $169,476, Mr.. Cogswell
reported. He did not indicate what
proportion of these cases repre-
sented compliance with landlords
full demands.
Fixing of rent ceilings on new
housing during the period resulted
in reductions amounting to an esti-
mated $192,806 on a yearly basis,
the report showed.
Cash refunds to tenants resulting
from discovery of 73 cases of rent
ceiling violations amounted to $5,671
it was said. Estimated on an an
nual rent basis, the saving was ap-
proximately S21,620.
Petitions Total $4,000. ga
Mr.. Cogswell said that as of De-
cember 81 a. total of 10000 formal
petitions for rent adjustments had
been handled since the rent control
Office was established January 1,
1912. OF this number, 29,846 have
been disposed of.
He said he anticipated a "ma-
terial" increase in the number of
rent adjustment cases in 1947, and
noted a particular increase during
December in the number of applica-
tions for ceilings on housing units
being rented for the first time.
He termed the present rental sit
uation still very acute" with respect
to both furnished and unfinished
houses and apartments, but reported
noticeable improvement" in the
availability of furnished rooms.
A summary of rent control Office
activity over the period reported on
showed that 1897 telephone in
quiries and complaints were handled,
4,440 persons were interviewed per-
sonally and 80 subpoenas were is
sued in cases where persons were in
structed to appear at the office but
failed to show up.

Extra Airports
For D. {. Urged
In Nearby States
ChuntilIy, Va, and
BeItsviIIe, Md, Are
Sites Listed by CAA

Development in the next three
years of alternates for National Air
port at nearby Chantilly. Va, and
Beltsville, Md, was recommended
yesterday by Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministrator T. p. Wright in list Of
4,431 airports which he feels should
be built or improved under the
Federal airport program.
Because Washington's busy air.,
port nears the saturation point
even in good weather and is badly
overcrowded when landings are
slowed down by bad weather, Fed
eral experts feel immediate con-
sideration should be given to PLAN
ming a large alternate in the Chan
tilly area, about 20 miles west OF
the Capital in Fairfax County.
The detailed list for % Maryland
and AZ Virginia airports recon-
mends that "Class g. airports, the
largest. size in terms of length Of
runway, be developed if possible
at Chantilly, a new site to be Sc
lected later, and at Beltsville as
an improvement on the present
Glass 3 field there, which Is now
under lease to the Navy.
Projects in List to Cost 1885, 800, 600.
While no detailed estimates were
made by Mr.. Wright, the larger air
ports. on the Nationwide list would
average more than 81 ,000, 900 each.
CAA officials said it seems probable
neither nearby community could
match the Federal outlay, as re-
quired under the general plan, since
the aIternates would be developed
to relieve Government-owned and
operated National Airport of heavy
traffic.
Projects on yesterdays list were
estimated to cost $685. 300, 900, of
which the Federal share would be
SAL 100000, and the local sponsors
share $544, 100000 Under the Airport
Act, authorizing $500, ,O00, 900 in Fed
eral funds over seven-year period,
Congress may appropriate as much
as $100,000,000 for use in any one
year.
For the current fiscal year, ending
July 30, Congress appropriated $45,-
100000 for airports, mostly in the
smaller classes /, 2 and 3. The Dis
trict of Columbia's share was more
than $4,000, but the Commissioners
so far have not taken advantage of
the Government offer because no
funds are available to match the
sum and no site for a small airport
has been agreed upon in the District.
Use for Air Cargo Seen.
A number of small fields in Mary
land and Virginia were included
among 300 listed a few weeks ago
ITO receive current appropriations.
Federal planners believe that q
field with adequate runways near
FChantilly would serve National not
only as an instrument weather alter
nate but as the eventual terminal
for air cargo. They were unable
to comment, however, on what effect
the new recommendation might
have on Navy operations at Belts
vile.
Principal undertaking on the
Maryland list is Baltimore's new
municipal airport at Friendship
Church in upper Anne Arundel
County 1t will be a "Class 5" tleld
with paved runways between $500
and $500 feet long.

Unemployment Rise
Gives uses Busiest
Month in Three Years

The rise in unemployment
brought the United States Employ
ment Service Office here the busiest
month in three years, Fred z. Het-
eel, District USES director, reported
last night.
Nearly 1000 more visits day
were made to the two local en-
ployment Offices in January than
in December, Mr.. Hetzel said.
Some of the jobless came to the
Offices more than once during the
month but end of the month totals
showed 88,946 visits by job hounters.
Placements Rise 1913 Pct.
Those coming to the Office are
more serious" about getting jobs,
Mr.. Hetzel reported. This is indi-
Gated by figures showing the USES
placed more persons on jobs with
fewer referrals.
Mr.. Hetzel noted a 1913 per cent
increase in placements in January
over December. Some of this in
crease was credited to Christmas
hiring of veterans in the post Office.
The reports on these jobs, Mr.. Het-
eel explained, were delayed until
January.
January also brought so per
cent increase in the number of
persons applying to the USES for
work for the first time. Each day,
1913 new applications were filed in
January as compared with 81 in
December.
This increase was laid to after
Christmas lay-offs in retail stores,
cuts in Government personnel, the
end of holiday jobs in the post
Office and the winter decline in
construction activities.
In the white collar" employment
Office, lot per cent more persons
sought employment counseling in
January. Some of these were former
of wartime Government
agencies.
Mr.. Hetzel reported an IS per
cent increase in placement of women
workers due to the establishment
of the household employment Sec

Drive for S25O,OOO
To Help Teachers

The Landon School for Boys in

campaign to raise s250,000, which
will be devoted to improving the
lot of the TEACHERS at the school.

and heating bills. Construction on
the first of the homes, which will
be large three bedroom affairs, is
expected to begin this summer.
Salaries will not be lowered by
the housing plan.

well as obtaining more facilities for
the more than 300 students.

splendid type of teacher" Mr.. Ban
field said. 1.-THE present campaign
offers an opportunity to encourage
them to continue their contribu-
tons to the lives of young men as
a secure and happy career :"

All attempts to identify fish ing boat found on the remote mainland coast opposite Afognak island have failed, deputy U. S. Marshal Paul Herring reported today.
