Your comments and suggestions upon the recommendations which have been made with respect to rent problems in your community will be most welcome AdminiLEON HENDERSON, strator, Office of Price Administration.

Under the emergency price control act a designated community has 60 days to meet the recommendation by local action. If at the end of this period, the OPA determines that recommendations have not been met, the price administrator is empowered to make federal rent control effective and issue orders and regulations for the area. -- 60-d- ay Asks for Information Laura R.
