GINGER ROGERS IN COMEDY FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Handsome Ray Milland and Academy Award winner Ginger Rogers have the title roles in Par amounts hilarious comedy, The Major and the Minor" which is at the 2cth Century tonight, with Rita Johnson, Robert Benchley, Diana Lynn and Ginger own mother. Le- la Rogers.
 In their first film together the two stars are said to top anything either has ever done before, which if past performances are any crit erion, should mean double treat for moviegoers.
 Ginger's part is that of small town girl who, sadly disillusioned with life in New York tries to buy a ticket home to Iowa, but finds that she is five dollars short of the increased railroad fare. She goes into the women's lounge with her suitcase and comes out looking ex- actly like a half-fare twelve-year- old. On the train, however, she runs into difficulty.
 The situations which result when the minor agrees to accompany a Major to his school in order to get him out of the jam occasioned by her presence in his compartment are reported to be the funniest ever screened.

Rent Chief Promises
To Safeguard Tenants
In Granting Increases

Rent Administrator Robert F.
Cogswell today held out hope Of
some justifiable rent increases for
District landlords" but added a
warning that he fully intends to
safeguard the rights of tenants in
this matter"
An all-important question in con-
sideration OF any rent increases, he
said, is the extent of the additional
tax load and assessments on prop
erty owners.
Mr.. Cogswell conceded landlords
have made out a good case. but he
indicated, in view of many conflict
ing opinions, that the Rent Admin
istration has no intention of meeting
all their demands. He conceded
however, that rents can't stay at
1941 levels" explaining that some
apartment landlords are still charg-
ing the same rents they did six
years ago.
Assessments to Be Studied.
"The whole question is very in
yolved and complex he said. Il am
convinced that some landlords un-
doubtedly should be granted rent in
creases under the very provisions of
the act itself"
Especially, he said, the question
Of. additional assessments on real
estate property should be studied
closely in connection with the petit
tions Of apartment and business
property owners.
I'VE are going very thoroughly
into the matter of this 20 per cent
increase in assessments and will hold
conferences with officials of the Tax
Assessors Once" he explained. I'VE
have been told different things by
different people. Some claim the
increase is a blanket increase on all
properties. Others claim it extends
to some properties but not wholly to
others. This assessment, Of course,
is important In its relation to rent
increases"
The Tax Assessor ONCE said the
~ pCi 'CCl1U bldIlhCG 11lS1 CdSC oPPliCo
on the value of Improvements on
residential property only. Two other
kinds of property-apartment houses
and downtown stores-are treated
differently and should be considered
separately, it was said, in deter.
mining the extent ofsthe increase.
Coal Price a Factor.
Another factor that should be
brought into the picture Is the
sizable increase in the cost OF coal
which affects most apartment house
owners" Mr.. Cogswell said. The
increase is $1.63 ton for bituminous
coal Of the grade suitable for apart
ment houses.
Mr.. Cogswell indicated he is un-
prepared to accept figures presented
by landlords indicating mini
mum" tax and water rent increase
of 14.2/7 per cent.
1--WE will 60 into all these ques-
tions very thoroughly before reach
ing any final conclusions and in
view of the combination Of circum-
stances relating to general overall
increased COSTS" he declared. But
we fully intend to protect the rights
of tenants"
