way or another, on the rent con-
troll continuance question.
Much may depend, a spokes-
man said, on the speed with
which the defense program is
pushed. If Government hiring
adds substantially to the Wash
ington population, it will be an
important factor in probable con-
gressional action on the issue, the
spokesman said.
If the Government should i'm
pose wage and price controls, ex-
tension of rent controls probably
would be a ''foregone conclusion -
one real estate source said.
Another Possibility.
Another possibility in the field
of Government controls that has
been under discussion is price con-
trolls on existing homes.
This would be a tough one to
administer, and probably would
run counter to the private enter
prise concept to a greater extent
than any previous wartime regu-
lation, in the opinion Of some
observers.
IF the Government attempts to
control the price of real property,
then it will be faced with con-
trolling everything-from shaves
and haircuts to stock and bonds. /"
a real estate spokesman said.
Price controls on existing houses
were considered during the last
war. but never were put into ef-
feet.
The administration asked for
authority in the Defense Produc-
ton Act to control mortgage
credit on existing houses, but
Congress turned down the request.
Regulations under that act will
effect only houses put under con-
struction subsequent to noon on
August 8, this year.

VARIOUS CONTESTS

Energetic and resourceIul Lee
gionnaire, Perry McLain, Depart
ment Commander, will probably be
known as the "go getter" with
apologies to Peter B. Kyne) who
went out and got" top spot in
several of the membership con-
tests that were floating around.
According to C. M. "Chuck" Will
son of National Headquarters, the
General John j. Pershing Honor
Award banner in miniature goes
to the Department OF Alaska Com
mander for his personal perman-
ent possession.
When this achievement was an
nounced, Perry was the first to
point out that it was the team
work of posts throughout the de-
partment that made this recognition
of Alaska a possibility.
The goal is to take 1000 paid up
memberships for 1851 to the Los
Angeles convention in october.
Then there was the contest that
Perry cooked up" between Alaska
and Hawaii. The wager was
prize of so pounds of Alaska squaw
candy against a large box of Ha-
wall orchids. Alaska again won
with a percentage of the 1850 quota
of 1O6.67qo in contrast with the
Hawaii results in membership of
2897%. So, the Department Adj
jutant of Hawaii was advised the
orchids come to Alaska. And Ha-
waits Department Commander, Ar
leigh J. Former, has acknowledged
