HILIJER KIUEGHBAUM WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (U.E)--Run-away rents ! defense areas will receive early attention When Leon Henderson takes over his duties under tbe newly-enacted price control law, it was learned today.. The office of price administration administra-tion head, whose powers to reduce re-duce the threat of inflation will be expanded under the bill -signed yesterday by President Roosevelt, Roose-velt, intends to see that the interests in-terests of defense workers are safeguarded. He will give special attention to those communities where thousands of laborers are being crowded into living quarters in-- in-- tended to house only hundreds. Some workmen even have to live in trailers or tourist camps because be-cause other facilities are not available. avail-able. Authority to regulate rents will be the most drastic addition to Henderson's powers under the new bill, if rents or other prices get out of hand and the OPA orders are violated, individuals face a maximum fine of $5,000 and one year in prison or both. Informal organizations in many defense communities have been trying- to keep the rent situation under control but the local committees com-mittees have not "had legal power to enforce their decisions. Henderson Hen-derson probably will continue these groups in most communities. communi-ties. Under the new law, if the local situation gets bad, Henderson may appoint a rent administrator for the area. His duty will be to decide de-cide what a fair rent for accomo dations is and to announce his decision. That, announcement is equivalent to a price order and. If necessary, may be carried but with the aid of the court. After the rent has been established, estab-lished, the property owner or manager man-ager has 60 days in which to appeal ap-peal the case to an emergency court of appeals. This court, which will include at least three judges, "will be named by the chief justice, Harlan F. Stone. Rents may be based on two dates under the law's provisions. The local administrator may use April 1, 1941, as a tentative base, but if the community at that time was well launched into a defense boom and rents had skyrocketed tb unusual heights, then he may use any earlier date back to April 1, 1940. Henderson's OPA associates said the new ' law simply reinforced rein-forced his present campaign except for rents and gave him the legal backing- to enforce decisions.
