The applicable section of the re gulation reads as follows: "Within five days after renting to a new tenant, the landlord shall file a notice on the form provided therefore, on which he shall obtain I he tenant's signature, stating that litere has been a change in ten ancy, that the stamped copy of the registration statement has been ex hibited to the new tenant and that the rent for such accommodations is in conformity therewith.” Tltis notice must be filed every time there is a change of tenancy in any rented housing acconimoda , tions. the OPA said. Most land lords have been very compliant in this matter but a considerable num ber have apparently overlooked this requirement. Change of ten ancy forms are available in Juneau at the OPA office. In other towns in the Territory they may be se ; cured at the local Board offices. Jupiter’s diameter Is 11 times that of the earth.

Censorship Regulations Liberalized Head Censor Wants No Monkey Business fr'om Any Other Source (Continued Horn page one) oral presentation of war news, es pecially regarding war production, merchant marine operations and diplomatic negotiations not con nected directly with military opera tions. Price again emphasized that only l lie Office of Censorship has the authority to request that certain news not be published or broadcast, and he invited appeals from news papers and radio stations when re quests are received from any other source. The Director said that 'unques tionable news is being suppressed needlessly by newspapers and broadcasters because of miscellan eous requests emanating from to-’ (ally unauthorized sources through out the country, including even publicity agents." Price made it clear that the cen sorship is voluntary, is carried out by newspapers upon the basis of codes sent to all newspapers from the Office of Censorship, and that no other agency has the right to order the censorship of any ma terial. Apparently a new and liberized code of instructions will be sent to newspapers and radio stations, su perceding the code now being used.
