Interior Department
' To Ration Cigarettes
To Own Employes
As Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana called on the Federal
Trade Commission to investigate the
cigarette shortage, the Interior De
partment went forward today to put
in effect next week its new plan to
ration available smokes to its em
ployes.
Long lines of Government work
ers forming in the Interior cafe
teria during working hours as they
waited to buy cigarettes prompted
the department to stop sales ab
ruptly late yesterday. There will be
no more sales there “until further
notice,” said a sign in the cafeteria
Survey of Smokers Being Made.
A survey is being made of all the
smokers in the department building
and tickets will be issued to them
authorizing purchase of about two
packs a week—more if available.
Nonsmokers will not be issued tick
ets. an official said.
Senator Wheeler in calling for an
Investigation said servicemen and
civilians were “entitled to know the
facts” about the shortage.
Meanwhile, the Office of Price Ad
ministration asserted the cigarette
manufacturers had nothing to do
with the shortage.
The statement, reinforcing earlier
comments in the same vein, was
Issued in denial of widespread man
In-the-street rumors than manu
facturers are holding back some
Of thier stocks. Rumor had it that
this withholding, and a conten
tion on the part of manufacturers
that raw tobacco prices are too
high for the present ceilings on
somkes, might bring about an in
crease in the wholesale ceiling
price.
Denial Is Made by OPA.
OPA flatly denied this. It said
that not since March. 1942. have
manufacturers of popular brands
or the tobacco industry as a whole
•ought a ceiling boost.
From Government and tobacco
sources there seemed to be no new
explanation of the shortage, most
of them throwing the blame on
•‘scare" and “abnormal” buying.
Dealers are getting the same quota
they have been getting for months,
the OPA said.
The pricing agency called atten
tion to its announcement of two
weeks ago that manufacturers are
producing more cigarettes than ever
before in history and that more are
available for domestic consumers
than in any year with the exception
Of 1943.
OPA Rent Control
Work Called Failure
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards reported today that
the majority of 377 "typical Ameri
can cities” surveyed believe that
Office of Price Administration rent
control regulations covering special
hardship cases have “so far failed
to produce appreciably more equi
table rent administration.”
Some cities say the regulations
growing out of congressional action
last June have been a “travesty”
end a “joke,” the association said.
They also provide machinery for
rent appeals.
In addition, 78 per cent of the
titles report present residential
rents are insufficient to justify in
vestment in rental housing at pres
ent construction costs.
This affirms the belief that “con
tinuation of the present rent con
trol after the w»ar would put a dead
hand on construction,” the associa
tion said.
The Nation's realtors also take
the stand that postwar homes will
be geared to the rate of release of
materials and lifting of restrictions.
