how quickly the boards Will begin
functioning."
Under terms of the new Control
Act which became law July l, Mf.
Creedon was directed to appoint
local boards of at least five meni-
bers each on recommendations sub
mitted by the Governors.
But in the month that has
elapsed, only nine Governors have
submitted lists and area boards in
only two States-Georgia and Wyo-
ming-have been approved.
Other recommendations received
we're from North Carolina, Oregon,
New Jersey, New Hampshire, South
Dakota, Indiana and Alabama, rent
control officials said.
The local boards are authorized
to (a) recommend decontrol of all
or any parts of their areas; CD de-
eide whether rent levels in their
areas are adequate and (c) consider
petitions for rent adjustments and
make recommendations to the area
rent offices.
Must Act Within 80 Days.
The law provides that the expe-
diter must act within 80 days on
board recommendations, explaining
why he disapproves, If he should.

control gets into operation, officials
estimated that between $4,000, 900
and 6f) 000 0(}f) nersons are living in
between 100000 and 100000

By the Assoeioted Press

The Federal Rent Control
ONCE, with wary eye on Con-
gress, has decided against
further action on its own to lift
ceilings from any of the GA
areas remaining under control.
Future policy, an agency official
told a reporter privately today. will
be for the Federal office to check the
decontrol question to the local ad-
visory boards authorized under the
new rent law enacted last month.
Although the law provides that
Housing Expediter Frank r. Cree
don, who administers rent regula-
tions, may lift ceilings if conditions
warrant, 1t also gives the local
boards a strong voice in their own
ereaS.
The official emphasized that the
new policy Is not delaying any de-
control actions since none are up
for approval at present"
However, he said that should the
agency-before the boards are set
up for business-develop evidence
that decontrol might be war;
ranted" in any of the areas, ''it
likely would wait for recommended
tions from the local board rather
than going ahead on its own"
Another official said informa ton
which might lead to decontrol of
some fringe sections of several
areas" is being gathered and will be
submitted when the boards are
ready to begin their studies"
Certainly Congress wanted the
boards to have strong voice in
operation of the new law" this Off
cial said, land it seems only right
they should pass on decontrol mat
ters."
Congress when it returns in Janu-
ary will have to decide shortly
whether it wants to extend controls
beyond February 20, the new expira-
ton date.
Control officials said 1t is up to
the various Governors ito decide

SINCLAIR AIDS
OHIO FARM

A new Experimental Farm to
be operated by the Department
of Agricultural Engineering of the
College of Agriculture of Ohio
State university and the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station
at Wooster will be established
near Columbus, as a result of
plans released today by H. F.
Sinclair, president of Sinclair Re-
filming company, Edmund Secrest,
director of Ohio Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, and John F,
Cunningham, dean of the College
of Agriculture, Ohio State uni
versity.
This new research and expert
mental farmstead will include a
modern dwelling for resident su-
pervisor, service buildings, gar
age and shops. The project is con-
veniently located at the intersec-
ton of Morse Road and Indianola
Ave. at the city limits of Colum-
bus, and near the facilities of the
College of Agriculture, Ohio State
university.
The project is designed to help
solve many of the problems of ag-
riculture and mechanization con-
fronting the farmers of Ohio and
the Corn Belt. The program will
include study of the effect that
variations in depth and spacing Of
drain tile will have on water in
the soil and on soil temperatures
Iess in tiliage, planting and harvest
in the spring; a study of timelin-
ing operations, and the yield and
quality of various crops.
A study of power and labor re-
quirements in crop production is
also planned. This area of study
will have special application to
the efficiency of a tractor in which
the economical use of fuels and
lubricants is an important factor
The topography and size of the
farm is well suited for research
in land drainage, power, and
mechanical efficiency.
The Sinclair Refining Company
has been quite active in the farm
field. This farm is further evidence
of the close-knit association of ind
ustry and agriculture.
