Of OPA Measure (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 1.—Tel- egrams received here today from! all over the country said that, generally, business men and in- dustrial leaders were complying with the’ President’s request not to boost prices, except in a few isolated instances, {| Extreme cases concerned a woman, in Indianapolis, who in-| creased the rental of her apart- ments from $45 a month each to $150, and a woman in Los An- geles, who rocketed the rental ee one room with kitchenette units from $35 a month to $300 a month. ' The White House announced} that telegrams sent to the Presi- dent favored his action by a ratio of 50 to one. From noon to 1 o’clock this afternoon, the house held mem- orial services for the late Pres- | ident Roosevelt, and immediate- Ny after their conclusion began the consideration of an OPA bill. A similar’ measure will come up in the senate, but it was ex- plained that a new law must have three days’ consideration before 'the senate can act on it, and “Pappy” O’Daniels, who is jubi- lant over the killing of OPA, de- clared that he would “see to it” that the senate regulation re- garding the elapse of three days would be adherred to. He added | that when the OPA bill comes jup for discussion, he would start a filibuster against it. Administration leaders said they feared chiefly increase in: prices of rents, because of the, acute shortage of houses in all parts of the country. The lead- ers stated: they anticipated that} rentals will jump from 10 to 25 ber cent. 2 Monroe Men F rom Truman | Two Monroe county men} ihave been nominated by President ‘Truman for anent commissions | in regular army, the War, De- parfmen? announced foday.
