to more than 100000, 900, James A.
Hewitt, District FHA director said.
Besides being a banner month for
the District Office, June also broke
all national FFIA records for volume
of mortgage insurance applications.
4S,755 Units in June.
Raymond M. Foley, FHA commits
sioner, said applications involving
new construction during June cover
ed 48,755 new units under all sec
tions of the National Housing Act.
Thus, the District total amounted to
more than 10 per cent of the ma
tional total.
The national total was the largest
volume of units in any single month,
surprising the previous high of
43,246 new units set in March, 1912
The amount was more than five
times the volume in June a year
ago and represented an increase of
nearly Is per cent over April, 1947,
the previous high for the year,
Mr.. Foley said.
OF the total applications received
during the year In tne DlSCrlcC area,
FHA already has committed itself
to insure mortgages on 1924 units,
of which STA were units in large
scale rental projects and 1850 were
in one-to-four family projects for
sale or rent, or for individual owners.

In FHA's so-called large scale rental

The National Rent Control Once,
which will have charge of enforcing
the new rent act permitting Is per
cent voluntary increases in exchange
for leases extending until December
81, 1948, has issued a set of ques-
tions and answers clarifying pro-
cedure under the law.
The new act, which extends rent
control through February, 1948, Is
now applicable throughout the coun-
try, except in the District, where
rent control remains under the Dis
trict Rent Control Administration
A bill to extend the District rent
law without a IS per cent increase
has passed the House and has been
reported favorably by the Senate
District Committee. 1t would ex-
tend District rent control through
March 81, 1948. After that time,
Washington owners would be free to
raise rents by whatever amount they
wish, unless a new extension of the
law is enacted.
Questions and answers on the
national rent law, applicable to
housing in nearby Virginia and
Maryland, follow:
@. Must a tenant sign a lease
providing for a Is per cent increase
in rent?
A. No. The Housing and Rent
Act provides that such agreement
must be voluntary. The tenant who
does not sign such lease is still pro-
tected by the rent regulations. =
s. @. May a tenant be evicted If he
refuses to sign a lease under the
provisions of the new act?
A. No. The signing of such lease
must be voluntary, and a tenant

New Faucet Washers
Unusually Durable,
Resist Erosion
By HiIson Munsey
By HiIson Munsey

Faucet washers are In constant
need Of replacement. Changing them
is not difficult, but is an annoyance
Though the regulation type OF
washer is screwed into the faucet
stem, a particular form has spring
prongs of monel metal that lock
to the washer retainer shell while
being screwed into the faucet stem.
When the retainer shell Is drawn
up tightly to the faucet stem end
the prongs automatically disengage.
The installed washer will swivel
freely and prevent any friction be-
tween the face disk of the washer
and the seat.
When installed the washer will
not fall out or rattle. It is faced
with a tough disk material that
will retain its resiliency for long
time in water OF any temperature.
The washer is not the only part
of the faucet unit that creates trou-
BILE. The seating for the washer
will often corrode and when it does
it has to be ground down to a
smooth surface. To overcome this
difficulty, the same company manu-
facturers a replacement mode of
monel metal to resist erosion that is
the cause of unsatisfactory seatings.

made from a composition that
will fill any cuts or crevices in the

Estate Boards, and Arthur w. Binns,
president of the National Home and
Property Owners Foundation, urged
passage of the Knutson bill to
amend the income tax laws for this
purpose.
The bill would allow individuals
to claim the same tax deduction for
maintenance and depreciation as Is
now allowed owners of rental prop
erty, it was explained.
Mr.. Binns contended the present
tax structure "discriminates against
the horne owner" citing the follow
ing examples:
Example IA owns two houses.
They are next door to each other.
He lives in one house and rents the
other to B. He may take deprecia-
tion allowance on his income tax
for the house he rents to B but
Evening star., 1947-07-12

may not take this allowance on
his own home.
Example "A and B live next
door to each other in row houses
which are identical in structure.
Each owns his own home and there
fore may not deduct for deprecia-
ton. However, "A moves into BIS
house and pays B rent and B moves
into AS house and pays A rents
In this way each may take the
deduction" ~ I
Mr.. Nelson said the average home
owning family could save an aver
age Of $24 q year if the bill were
enacted.
He pointed out that. although a
home occupied by its owner is
regarded as a capital asset and not
as consumption goods. deduction for
depreciation is not allowed on it.

One good investment Ohio farmers
can make during corn harvest is to
hire a man to sort out soft or mold
ed ears before they are put in the
crib to damage sound ears. Me-
chanieal piekers take all the ears
and power elevators do not do any
sorting. Mold spreads rapidly on
new corn during warm weather.

Dynamic Dream Cars Confined
To Designers Drawing Boards

or automatic transmissions, is a
carry-over from the longtime
search for completely variable
torque in propulsion. The old steam
propelled vehicles had it; successor
types relied upon selective gearing.
The idea was beginning to boil
even before the war. Women
drivers were protesting the in
convenience of hand shifting
gears. During the war, smooth
flexible drive became manda-
tory for tanks and other combat
vehicles.
What the engineers all seek is
some simplifed mechanism and
method whereby, without conscious
effort by the driver, operation of
engine and of vehicle properly, con-
sistently and automatically are ad-
justed to each other and to per-
Torrance requirements.
This means that in future cars,
the driver will operate steering
wheel and accelerator; the car will
do the rest automatically. In other
words, clutch pedal and gear
shift lever both are on the way
out.
Power and Economy.
Goal of equally ancient engineer
ing quests is production of more
power from smaller engines and less
fuel. Until now, the conventional
