RENT FORUM (These questions were selected from those often asked of the local rent office. If you have a question about the rent stabilization pro- gram, address it to: Area Rent Office, 216 Federal Building, Key West, Florida.) QUESTION: Recently your of- fice issued an order allowing an increase of the maximum rent on my apartment from $60.00 to $70.00. I did not oppose the increase but I have a lease which has not ex- pired and contains no provision for the landlord to raise the rent above. $60.00, Can pe mow collect rent of $70.00? ANSWER: This would be a mat- ter to be decided under local law. As far as Federal Law is con- cerned he may collect up to $70.00 per month. On the other hand, if your lease called for $60.00 and the rent office reduced the maxi- mum rent to, say, $50.00 your land- lord would be barred under Feder- al law from collecting more than $50.00 regardless of the terms of the lease, QUESTION: If I plan to occupy my house myself as sdon as the present tenant moves, do I have to register it as a rental unit with your office? ANSWER: Yes, if the accomo- dation has not been previously registered. The fact that you do not intend to rent the unit to an- oher enan after he presen one has moved does not a‘ter the fact that it is now subject to rent stabi- lization regulations and should be NEW IMMIGRANT ACT EFFECTIVE DEC. 24 WASHINGTON ™ — Working against a rapidly nearing deadline, Justice Department experts today continued their efforts to draft regulations for dealing with aliens under the new immigration law. The new law, known as the Mc- Carran-Walter Act, becomes ef- fective Dec. 24, just one month from today. Atty. Gen. James P, McGranery, who has described the new statue as badly organized, contradictory and possibly unconstitutional in some respects, said over the week end he hopes to have the revised regulation ready sometime around Dec. 14.

QUESTION: Recently I signed a lease with my landlord and we have since found that it calls for rent which is in excess of the maximum rent established by your office. Does this mean that the entire lease is now invalid. ANSWER: As far as Federal law is concerned only that por- tion of the lease that contradicts the Federal rent regulation is in- valid. In other words, your land- lord is barred by Federal law from collecting over the legal max- imum rent in your case regard- less of the terms of the lease. Overseas Transportation Company, Ine.

The fall rainy season is long overdue and the land is so hard that crude stick plows, drawn by camels, are unable to scratch the surface. Libya, one-fourth the size of the United States, depends almost en- tirely upon wheat and barley for subsistence. Tribesmen fear that if it doesn’t rain soon they will be unable to plant in time for next year’s crop.

Tons of wheat and barley would have to be rushed, America’s stake in the welfare of Libya is greater than any of the other powers. Near Tripoli is Wheelus Field, the U. S.

Its index inched up one-tenth of one point. The little change from Sept. 15 means that about one million workers in the automobile and air- craft industries will take a pay cut of one cent an hour effective Dec. 1 owing to living costs de- clines in August and September. A cost-of-living clause in their union contract calls for a wage revision every three months based on changes in index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It also means a cut of $5 quar- terly in the cost of living bonus for salaried workers of General Motors. The BLS reported its index on | Oct. 15 was 190.9. This compared | with 190.8 on Sept. 15. (Average prices in the 1935-39 period are used as a “base” of 100.) The Oct. 15 index was 1.9 per cent higher than a year ago, and 12.2 per cent higher than June 15, | 1950, just before the outbreak of j the Korean war. _ BLS reported that food and cloth- jing prices went down slightly in | the Sept. 15-Oct. 15 period but this |decrease was more than offset by |Tises in costs of fuel, electricity, rents, and miscellaneous goods and | services.
