View Rent
Rule With
Suspicion
Union OfficioIs
Now Expressing
Uneosiness

WASHINGTON UPA)-With
landlords deluging area rent Of
fices with appeals for rent
boosts under the fair return"
formula announced last week,
union officials were expressing
uneaSiness over the new rules
announced by Housing Expe-
diter Tighe Woods.
Under orders from Congress,
Woods has worked out a method
of computing fair net operating
income" for landlords. In effect,
it would appear that the formu-
la will result in rent boosts for
half the tenants still protected
by rent control, since the for
mula is based on national av-
erage figure.
Can Get 3O9o Boost
The small dwelling units
owner will be entitled to rent
boost to bring his net operating
income up to 30To. The large"
dwellings units owner will be
entitled to a net operating in
come of 25% of his gross in
come. Small rental properties
are those with from one to four
dwellings units; large" are
those with more than four units.
While the landlord will not
be allowed to figure in his
mortgage payments or interest
as operating income, he will be
able to figure his depreciation
at the same amount he uses in
paying his income taxa some
what flexible and unreal figure.
The rent. control administra-
tor arrived at his 500 and $50
net by studying operating fig
ures for the period 1889 thru
1946, collected by OPA. These
years, it is pointed out, are the
ones when virtually every hab-
liable unit was occupied, when
building service wages were
more or less frozen during the
war, and represent the peak of
landlord net income.
Applies To All
The new formula applies not
only to individual landlords
hardship" rent applications,
but also to general rent in
creases that may be studied and
acted on by area rent advisory
boards.
While the new formula itself
cannot be appealed by individ-
lal tenants, they will be EMIT
led to notification of the pro-
posed rent increase and tenant
has the right to appeal an area
rent office decision to the re-
3ional and the national office.

Truman Urges
Health Bill

WASHINGTON (LPA)-In a
special message to Congress last
week President Truman urged
quick action on national health
legislation. The real cost of
our present inadequate medical
care" said Truman, is not
measured merely by doctors
bills and hospital bills The
real cost to society is in unnec-
essary human suffering and the
yearly loss of hundreds of mil
lions of productive working
days 1t is plain common
sense that we should not permit
these needless costs to continue
when we have it within our
power to reduce them with a
practical health program"

studying the subject of indus

I've found that a properly plan

giving the dull factory life the
