New Procedures on Rent
Adjustments in Effect
BY the Asseeiofed Press

Streamlined procedures for
landlords and tenants to seek
adjustments under the rent-con-
troll law became effective today
Housing Expediter Tighe E
Woods said the new policy pro-
vides that both parties serve
notice on each other when asking
for rent increases or reductions
The same procedure applies on
such matters as evictions and
other landlord-tenant relations.
Mr.. Woods said the policy re-
fleets little change from previous
regulations which. provided that
rent of11cials-and not the parties
directly involved - notify both
landlords and tenants of possible
rent adjustments.
The new procedures were in
stituted, the rent boss explained,
to tighten the work load in rent
offices where heavy personnel
slashes have resulted because of
an appropriation cut.

26O Petitioners Urqe
Indian Head Housing
Sale Be Prevented

Petitions signed by 260 persons
have been presented to Senate and
House Banking Committees urging
steps to prevent Government sale
of the Potomac Heights housing
development at Indian Head. Md.
The protesting group wants the
Public Housing Administration to
continue to operate the 483 family
units until more low-cost housing
is available in the vicinity of the
Naval Powder Factory.
simultaneously with the for
warding of the petitions, a spokes-
man for the residents charged that
a group now trying to buy the
property must have some friends
in high places" in view of recent
activities.
Carl Boyars, powder factory
chemist, declared that a Washing
ton real estate firm serving as
agents for the newly formed Po-
tomac Heights Mutual Housing
Association, obtained rental
waiting list from FILA month
before the project was offered for
sale.
Charges Limit on Rentals.
Furthermore, said Mr.. Boyars.
this company, Allen g. Rocks. Inc,
obtained authority to limit rentals
to persons posting $50 and sign
ing purchase agreements. The
firm also occupies rent-free Of
fees in the project area, Mr.. Boy
ars said.
The mutual housing association
was formed at the instance of Po-
tomac Heights Post No. 4. Amer
ican Veterans of World War II.
Michael j. Styles. National hous-
ing expediter of the Amvets, said
it is legitimate association estab-
lished for the purpose of prevent
ing the property from falling into
the hands of SPECTATORS.
Mr.. Styles said the Allen &
Rocks firm is retained as con-
sultants by the Amvets because
of its familiarity with problems
involved in public housing trans
actions.
: Ralph Rocks, member of the
realty firm, said the Office space
being used at Indian Head was as
signed to the cooperative housing
group for such use.
PHA Studies Details.
AS matters now stand. the PHA
is considering details of arrange
ments between the real estate
agents and the housing associa-
ton, before final action on the
sale. The protesting citi-
zens hope to block the transfer.
The pre-fabricated houses were
built in 1910 under provisions Of
the Lanham Act. They now are
occupied by families of service
men stationed at Boiling and An
drews Air Force Bases. as well
as veterans and some civilian en-
ployes of the powder factory.
Some Of those now objecting to
the sale point out that, as service
personnel. they are subject to sud-
den transfers. They feel 1t unwise
to enter purchase agreements but
they are entitled to the
housing now available.

Apricots Move To Market.
Potutoes, Prunes Are Next

Kennewick's 1949 crop of apri.
cots took the well known 'now
you see it, now you don't" route
to move out and into the markets
Of the midwest and east.
Although the crop was fairly
heavy and quality was good, the
crop was gone before it was
widely realized that picking had
gotten under way. It was one of
the shortest seasons in history,
some of this being due to inn
proved means of handling which
speeded up operations.
. The three big handlers out of
Kennewick were Pasco Growers
Association, Yakima Fruit Grow
ers, and Campbell's Custom Can
merry. The part of the crop handl-
ed by Yakima Fruit Growers did
not go through the "Big Y" plant
here. 1t was consolidated with the
crop handled at the Benton City
plant. The two others are hand
ling the local crop through local
houses. While the bulk of the
apricots will be gone this week,
Campbell's will continue to can
since these are brought in by the
growers in small lots and the
season is strung out over a long

Nothing very definite came

Growers, Mckinley Desgranges
