Drive Seeks to Bar
Lapse in Curbs on
Rent in Maryland
The Montgomery-Prince Georges
Chapter of Progressive Citizens of
America today announced opening
of a drive to have Maryland's rent
control law put in effect “if and
when Federal rent control expires."
The group will solicit signatures
on petitions to be submitted to the
j county commissioners.
! Truman J. Keesey, chairman of
the chapter, in a statement lashed
j.out at the National Association of
; Real Estate Boards and the local
| area rent office.
i “Immediate action on the part of i
county commissioners is necessary
1 to reassure tenants that they will
be safe from reprisals should they
! elect not to sign proferred leases."
(he said. “The push by landlords to
have tenants sign these leases isvthe
j key to how the National Association
: of Real Estate Boards hopes to elim
inate completely the remaining con
trols on rents and evictions."
Mr. Keesey called on rent control
authorities immediately to make a
public statement “making it clear
;that tenants are not compelled to
sign a lease providing for a rent in
crease and that refusal to sign can
; not be used as a means of having
the tenant evicted.’’
He said the organization has failed
to find any indication that the rent
; office is publicizing the voluntary
' nature of leases. “On the other
hand, however, the local rent office
has not hesitated to * * * estimate
that a substantial number of ten
ants in this area are expected to
sign the leases,” he declared.

Italy, the Balkan countries, France,
England and the Netherlands.
‘‘The purpose of the trip,” Senator

need for the continued large outlay
of United States taxpayers’ funds
for the stabilization of Europe.”
Besides Senator Bridges these
Senators will make the trip: Brooks,
Republican, of Illinois; Reed, Re
publican, of Kansas; Ferguson, Re-,
publican, of Michigan; Wherry, Re-!

Senator Cain Impressed
By Hughes' Flying Boat
By th* Associated Press
LONG BEACH, Calif., Aug. 19.—
At least one member of the Senate j
War Investigating Committee, Sena- j
tor Cain, Republican, of Washing- j
ton is impressed with the Howard!
Hughes flying boat.
Mr. Hughes took the, Senator on j
an inspection tour of the $25,000,000
giant—which has yet to be tested—
and his first reaction was “fan
tastic."
Senator Cain recovered, however,
to declare to newsmen: “If It flies
it will have achieved the impossible
in our lifetime.”
The Senator said he was not an
engineer and could not answer the
question if it will fly, but said: "I
hope it will fly,” and added he
would like to go on the first flight.
Mr. Hughes did not permit news
men to board the wooden-hulled
craft with the 300-foot wing span,
because “it is not completed.” The
producer, whose flying boat and XF- ,
11 camera plane are under investi- [
gation by the Senate committee, j
said it might be "March or April of
next year" before the giant flies.
Senator Cain was scheduled to
leave for San Francisco today, en
route home to Tacoma,
New Chemical Dust Arrests
Blight on Tomato Leaves
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 19—A chemi
cal dust known as “dust spray" is:
arresting tomato leaf blight In
Southern New England States, the
United States Rubber Co. announced ,
today.
Dr. T. W. Brasfield, representing
the company, said the dust was
designed for home gardeners and
combined powerful agents for pre
venting fungus disegses and killing
insects.
Tomato fruit rot spoiled 20 per;
cent to 80 per cent of. the garden
crops between the Rocky Mountains
and the Atlantic Coast last year, I
Mr. Brasfield said.
The remedy is equally effective on
potatoes. It kills flea beetles, lice,;
fruit spot, chagers, aphids and cater- j
pillars, and controls black spot and!
mildew, Mr. Brasfield said. j

;hape his condition is still critical.
However, he has shown some signs
>f improvement within the last 24

pad maintained Saturday and Sun

The Senator was described in “fine
londition" before he went to sleep
last night.
A minor operation was performed

Mr. Yuen, a waiter at the club,
was serving as steward's mate 1/c in
the Coast Guard aboard a destroyer
off Anzio when the incident oc
curred.
Through a mixup in recognition
signals, the PT boat in which Gen.

ing shore was mistaken for a Ger
man E boat. Mr. Vuen, manning a
5-inch gun. was among those who
were ordered to Are at the craft.
“Do you know you hit us?” Gen.

“Sure,” replied Mr. Yuen, “we
shoot good.”
Gen. Clark revealed three men
aboard the PT boat were killed and
several others, wounded. The inci
dent occurred about three days after
the beachhead was established.
Nazi Loo! Will Be 3old
For Benefit of Refugees
th. Aiiociat*d Pr»»»
BERLIN, Aug. 19.—About $1,000,
000 in nonmonetary gold looted by
the Nazis will be sold for the ben
efit of refugees who cannot return
to their countries, the American
Military Government said yesterday.
It will be turned over to the In
ternational Refugees Organization
within 10 days for sale as the first
Installment of plunder valued at
several million dollars which has
been recovered in Germany and
Austria.
The first installment consists
mainly of jewelry and most of it
probably will go to the United
States, since Theodore H. Ball of
AMG’s finance division said it would
be sold for hard currency.
No restitution claims have been
entered for the gold involved. Other
identified plunder has been restored
to the persons from whom the Nazis
looted it.
The benefiting refugees are per
sons who are deemed incapable, for
political or other reasons, of return
ing to their prewar homes.

Algeria Must Remain Part
Of France, De Gaulle Says
ly th» Auociatcd Pr*»
PARIS, Aug. 19.—Gen. Charles
de Gaulle, criticizing home rule pro
posals on Algeria now before the
National Assembly, declared last
night that Algeria must and will re
main a part of France.
“We must not allow to be placed
in question, under any form, neither
within nor without, the fact that
Algeria is our domain,” the general
s^d in a statement released to the
press by his secretariat.
Gen. de Gaulle called for estab
lishment of a two-house legislature
to control local laws in the three de
partments of Algeria, subject to the
governor general's veto. One house,
he said, should represent the Mos
lem population and the other the
European population which is
mostly of Prench origin.
The current bill in the Assembly
would permit certain categories of
Moslems in Algeria to vote and hold
office in elections to the “upper” or
European branch, a provision which
opponents say would lead to Moslem
domination of the entire govern
ment there.
