Washington says Price Administrator Leon Henderson granted area rent directors authority to issue temporary orders in clear cut cases where landlords seek rent increases. Increases would be conditional on landlords refunding any amount over the final OPA ceiling to tenants. The move aims to speed disposition of petitions with clearly defined reasons, avoiding delays pending living quarters inspections.

Materials May Slow Power Plant Project In Arkansas
Defense Plant Corp. president Samuel H. Husbands said two 130,000 kilowatt units at the Lake Catherine aluminum plant may be delayed due to shortages of turbines and critical materials. Diesel 65,000 kW direct current units should be finished in about 60 days to support the regional power pool and REA financed Ark-La cooperative. The AC units, reliant on steam turbines, face postponement, while the pool and REA continue supplying power. Husbands and colleagues also reviewed a 530 mile oil pipeline project and noted aluminum production has risen sevenfold since the war began, with possible postwar plant conversions depending on demand.
