AVOID RENT CONTROL Camp White Band, I War AN ominous (to the Japs) note comes from Russia, where War and the Working Classes, a Russian magazine, makes sharply critical and slighting remarks nbout Japan's . ambition to rule Asia. (The. voice of the press in Russia, is practically the voice of the government.) Berlin radio says Henry Wal lace has gone to Moscow to cook up a deal with the Russians to use Siberian bases to bomb Japan. VUPURI has fallen to the Rus sians, who moved lip toward it along the Gulf, of Finland, with the heavy ships of their Bulttc licet following them ulong the shore, sinking Finnish ships. IN recent exciting days, we've practically forgotten Italy, where the Germans arc still fight ing rear guard actions in an ef fort to. get back buhlnd their Arno line. We're following swift ly. There'll be another battle there soon. PHE German rocket bombs (or pilotless flying torpedoes whatever they are) still fall in southern England, but In DIMIN ISHING numbers.

There Is also a suggestion that the German propagandists fear By Charles V. Stanton 'J i- - i I PJPEARANCE before the floseburg city council Monday night of a group of tenants protesting recent rent in creases poses a disturbing problem one which has brought much trouble to many other communities throughout the country. It is one of those festering- sores resulting from cancer ous., inflation; hidden, siow-trrowimr. vet saniDinur the strength from those who, by force of circumstances, become its victims. . The sufferers are those not benefitted by aver age wartime wage increases. Income of the "white-collar1 worker, the federal employee, the clerk and, particularly the person on fixed pension, has advanced but little, if at all. Yet living costs have mounted steadily. Food, shelter and clothing are essential to life ami, when the increased cost of these- necessities surpass the income of the consumer, we experience the direct result of inflation. It is the fixed-wage earner who suffers most from inflation. That is why we must, through every possible curb, attempt to avoid its spread. On the other hand, there are persons earning high wages m essential industries who would gladly pay the rate of rental the persons in less favored inqome brackets cannot pay. Consequently those landlords interested in .the great est possible returns from their investment can be expected to boost rents to the limit. Some owners of rental property, naturally, are more in clined to take advantage of profit-making opportunities than are others. As a result disparities arise, as ja always the case rwhen the balance between supply and demand is oil-center. . The federal' government has attempted to solve the prob lem in some. areas by establishing rent control districts. A department, of the Office ofjPrice Administration sets arbi trary rentals, usually cutting back all rates to a period be fore, the upward spiral began. Ordinarily there is no at tempt to equalize or determine actual rental values. , Rather, as is tho case with such regulations, they are arbitrary and frequently result in great hardships.. To set rentals back to what they were two years ago, for instance, obviously would be unfair to those landlords who have consistently main tained low , fees ,011 their properties. In many cities where cat control measures were placed in force, homes and apart ments were. closed, and, occupancy was refused at the rates fixed by the government agency. We., do, not, want, a rent control district established in Douglas county. Our rentals are considerably below the I average lor like communities in the state. Wo have not investigated, but we imagine the highest rentals in Rose burg are not out of line with the charges normally imposed in many cities of like circumstances throughout the state, even under federal control. In fact, tin a recent reconversion project it was necessary for the property owners, to pay a considerable sum of money fo make up tho difference between the actual rental fees and the amounts necessary to amortize the cost of the improve ment That was because the average rents in Roseburg could not be exceeded in the reconversion unit, while the rate I was not high enough to pay the expense, of alterations dur ing the period in which control is to be vested in the government. I5ut if a few landlords step out of line and impose rates j wmcn become exliorbilant, inflicting great hardship upon tenants, then stern measures will be necessary. Those who will suffer moat are those property owners who have tried to be fair. . Consequently tho situation is one which calls for the ex crci.se of tolerance, unselfishness and a spirit of coopera tion on an sides. .Property owners, business interests and tenants should strive to settle the matter without forcing federal control. we nave neurit oi some instances in which hotel and apartment rentals have been boosted as much as 80 per cent. While the present charges may be comparable with those made elsewhere, yet such an enormous increase, particularly upon tenants with fixed incomes, is a great hardship, espe cially when, because of the existing housing shortages, these tenants arc unable to move to other quarters. It is to be Hoped that landlords and tenants will, strive to work out this problem satisfactorily and that the use of foreo will not bo made necessary for, in such event, it will be the property owner who will suffer most Bond Drive Here The Camp White Reassignment Center band and a troupe often actors will be in Roseburg Wed nesday, June 29, to present the play, "The Call of Freedom," as a contribution to the Fifth War Loan drive.

Growth oi Coast Guard and Marines Shown WASHINGTON, June 22 (AP) The, personnel strength of the navy, marine corps and coast guard stood at 3,400,646 men and women on May 1, Senator Walsh (D-Mass.) reported in a senate document entitled "The Decline and Renaissance of the Navy, 1922-1944.'?: ........ ' , The total included 8,727 women officers and 71,980 enlisted women.. ... ... ... .... In contrast,' the total strength of the navy and marine corps on June 30, 1938, was 11,695 officers and 122,631 men, said Walsh, who is chairman of the senate naval affairs committee. After reviewing the decline of naval strength from the disarma ment conference of 1922 until the late 30"s, . Walsh noted that the navy's permanent authorized strength today is 5.299.480 tons oi Battleships, aircraft carriers. cruisers,., destroyers and subma rines, compared with 780.000 tons oi under-age ships and 300.800 tons of over-all vessels at the end of 1932.- changes ,in t programming, we can't run a fever of enthusiasm. Right now everything is being planned toward the opening of the republican national , conven tion. As plans are. being formu lated, there's to be' a very com plete coverage, with all the ace reporters and commentators on Mutual's ble staff on hand for the event. Mrs. Raymond Clap-1 per joins the staff you'll remem ber that .her husband was one of our favorite commentators be fore his tragic death in the Pa cific, theater of war on a news gathering trip last year. By the way, there's one change on to night's schedule that we almost forgot to mention that's the' Ad ventures of Nick- Carter,' replac ing Cisco Kid for this one time only. Why? We're as much in the dark as you are. Maybe the Kid needed'a vacation; After all it's a stenuous life rescuing senoritas at least once a week. As long as we're in the dumps anyway, we'll pass along a very sad. piece ot news, although we wish we could break it , gently Buddy Cole, with his 'gay little, Lullaby in Rhythm show at 4:30 in the af ternoon, is being replaced by a new children's program, , and we're feeling very sad about it. Tomorrow Is his last appearance. Doggone it . Nanyway-we could mention i, several , shows we'd rather : they'd, replace,, but lt wouldnn't do a bit of good. Any. way be sure to listen to him for the last time tomorrow. GRANTS PASS, Ore., June 22 (AP) The Elks lodge will hold its annual state convention here Friday and Saturday..
