Didn’t suppose anything could overturn the Byrd machine in Virginia but he seems worried — at least worried enough' to vote with the folks. How Others Voted on OPA Here is how other Senators, up for election this year, voted on OPA: of the Democrats, 14 up for election went right down the line for effective price control. On- ly Democrats who welched were O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Walsh of Mass.,, Murdock of Utah and Car-| ville of Nevada — and they welched only a couple of times. . . . . O course, this doesn't take in the “Repocrats” like George and Rus- sell of Georgia, Eastland of Mis- sissippi and others not up for re- election who ran out on Truman! mest of the time. . Here is the Republican score card: Langer and Young of North Dakota voted con-! sistently against price control. They come from solid GOP farming areas. Austin of Vermont, another solid GOP state, price control, (He's Senate in January for the United Naticns.) . . . One Republican, La- Follette of Wisconsin, voted con- sistently for price control, except on one amendment — dairy prod- ucts. Three other Republicans split their vote Knowland of California, Smith of New Jersey, Stanfill of Kentucky. Most of the time they leaned against price control .

The Lakeview Memorial Park cemeter of which the Congressman is presi- dent, reported a total income of $22,533 last year. This was against $17,396 the year before.

The Alaska OPA's territorial of- fice today explained that rent reg- ulations are again in full for and effect, on the me basis as when they were temporarily lifted on June 30. In attempting to inform the pub- lic on the most common questions now keing received, the Alaska Rent Director, E. P. McCarron, stress- ed the following poiats: (1) Rents that hav ased between June 30 25 must now be returnsd to their pre-June 30 ceilings; (2) Noti of rent increases that were to have one into effect after July 25 are thus void and ineffective; (3) Rent in excess of the re-established Jun 30 ceilings, which have been actu- ally collected during the period be- tween June 30 and July 25, need net be refunded to tenants—how- ever no such increased rents can be collected on due dates subse- quent to July 25; (4) Pre-pay ments for more than one month in ance at an increased rate should therefor be refunded to tenants cording to latest official unorp tation received from the national Rent Office in Washington With questions on evictions be- ing especlally numerous right now explained t no act or ansaction occurring between June 30 and July 25 which has already resulted in a tenan eviction would be actionable as a violation However, all pre-eviction notices terminating tenancies and demand for possession issued but not com- pleted during that time, which are not in conformity with the re- enacted eviction requirements now void and have no effect ments made during the interim time, between landlords and ten- ants surrender or possession, or for th payment of rents in exc of lnlnlt‘x Hll]m‘\ are likewise void. | YIP- EEE ST.
