Max McCullough, commissioner of Price Administration, said regulations are being eased to enable a greater number of landlords to apply increases on the basis of hardship. McCullough said a detailed announcement would be issued some time next week. OPA officials familiar with rent regulations, said allow the small changes property probowners to quality more easily for higher rent schedules. McCullough told newsmen the changes would be "important to individuals with hardship but said adjustments to be allowed "certainly, are not applied to all properties." "Hardship provisions are being broadened to include such things as borderline cases and some types now ineligible," McCullough said. OPA officials said that under present regulations governing hardship cases, landlords must show a decrease in net operating Income under base period income and the decrease must result from an increase in operating costs rather than for other seasons.
Property owners are allowed to choose a base period, showing their operating costs for any two years after 1939 and prior to the time their rents were frozen. OPA officals said some small operators, where they caught applied in for rent increases on a hardship basis because "lots of them had kept no records on operating expenses." Fleming told a reporter there had been reports of many hardpeculiar circ*mstance cases where owners had been unable to show sufficient proof in support of their requests for rent increases. "The field offices had been rather rigid in their demands for approval of hardship," Fleming "We want them to be more liberal in their requirements for proof." RICHMOND, Jan. 24. today Governor on action Tuck of the reserved federal comment rent control authorities in allowing rent increases where landlords are "suffering hardships" under present ceilings.
The governor pointed out that he will have no power to decree any state rent control measures until the state rent control, passed last week by the General Assembly, takes effect, this law cannot be signed by the governor until after it is signed by the presiding officers of the Assembly's branches at the constructive session here next Wednesday, and it will not take effect until 90 days after next Wednesday. Even then, the state act contemplates state intervention and controls only when federal controls are removed. The governor would have authority to set up rent controls only in those areas of the state which have been covered by federal controls. Under the state set up, the controls would be more flexible, and local rent boards would have power to make any adjustments in rent felt were justified in landlords' "hardship" cases. Governing bodies of localities would be empowered to declare their areas not subject to rent controls.
FOOD (Continued From Page One) to maintain an even price level. When prices soared too high, supplies would be sold from the stabilization reserve. When prices fell too low, supplies would be channeled into the reserve for future use. The report did not list the under-nourished countries, but food experts said China, India and some European nations with incomes so low that their people are unable to buy adequate food would fall in that category, The report, which will be submitted to governments of the member nations of the FAO, said the world's production capacity has been greatly by wartime scientific and technological developments. As result, it concluded, methods must be found to absorb a greater output then ever before.
As an example, the commission said North American industrial production has more than doubled and agricultural output has risen 30 per cent over the pre-war period. Unless the output is absorbed, the commission added, "the result may be millions out of work, an unparalleled business recession, and social and economic unrest, with renewed pressure for restriction of Steps are already under way to draft agreements on wheat and cotton, officials said. The report indicated that the three great wheat-exporting countries the United States, Canada and Australia- have agreed on their roles in the program. Undersecretary of Agriculture N. E.
Dodd, the American delegate, said the United States advanced the idea of "using excess supplies to support special food programs to improve the diets of the most needy Countries receiving surplus supplies would be required to limit distribution to people in actual need and to prevent the supplies from reaching commercial or export markets. The commission also recommended that backward countries be given international aid in developing their agriculture and industries. First agricultural college to be established in England was in 1845. The University of Michigan in 1875 founded the first such school in the United States.

"Conditions in the coal mining the Coal Institute said, "are for the most part no worse, and in many instances better, than those in non-mining communities of comparable size and location." Its survey showed, the Institute said, that no more than one third of the miners, taking the industry as a whole, live in company-owned houses. The survey found the following "facts about the company Average rental is $11.50 per, month, less than 5 percent of the miner's, rental wage.

The industry's booklet offered an attractive picture of welfare and recreational facilities, schools and churches, which it said was typical in the great majority of mining communities.
On the subject of medical care and hospitalization, the booklet said the majority of mining towns have doctors at least within a short distance and that hospital facilities are within reasonable distance in almost every area. The Institute said that about 65 percent of all miners are covered by prepaid medical care and hospitalization insurance. The national average, it said, is 15 percent.

One would set up an eight-member licensing Loard with authority over all the healing arts. Another authorize an additional $2,000,000 in bonds for the tuberculosis hospital building program and a third would set up a board to license hospitals.
One bill would set up a quota system for admitting patients to TB hospitals. One administration asure would specifically allow Tennessee to embark on a hospital building program with the use of federal funds. One bill would give local health units $5,000 per year instead of the present $2,500 from the state.

to 43. Tobey, chairman of the Banking Committee, urged that the small business work be turned over to his group. He contended that "the real motivation" behind the extension proposal was to provide a committee chairmanship for Senator Wherry (R-Neb), who has been mentioned as a possible nominee for vice president in 1948. Tobey appealed to his fellow Republicans "to refuse to follow those who are using the party for their own advancement." Wherry urged an eight-month extension for the committee and said that next year its work could be taken over by one of the regular standing committees. He reported that in the last four the committee received 200,000 letters from small business men asking assistance and held more than 3,000 hearings.
The group, officially named the "special committee to study and survey problems of small business enterprises," was headed last year by Senator Murray (D-Mont). It has investigated problems of small business and proposed means of assistance. Democrats argued, as they did vainly in the case of the War Investigating Committee, that the Congressional Reorganization Act makes no provisions for special committees but contemplates that their work be done by the regular committees. Senator Edwin C. Johnson (D- Colo) reported that employes of the committee had solicited him to vote for its extension.
He asked Wherry whether a score of telegrams in favor of extension "were solicited by telephone calls and telegrams at government expense." Wherry denied it.
