Revival of OPA Rent Control Nullifies Notices to Quit
Dozens of preliminary notices to quit residential units served during the lapse of OPA rent controls were rendered invalid by the revival of the same controls. Officials report landlords sought evictions while rents likely rose by five to ten dollars monthly during the interim. Refunds may be sought for overpaid rents, and the wage food and grain price situation remains unsettled as OPA features are clarified.

iMackenzie's Column on U S atomic energy proposal
The column argues for an international atomic development authority with veto power abolished for atomic matters, implying world peace through oversight. It notes Russia's opposition and 새 skepticism toward surrendering sovereignty while predicting a UN driven debate and eventual U S sales pitch. It contrasts with Moscow’s demand to keep veto power under the Security Council and mentions Russia’s secrecy and youth of the regime. A separate note reports a new city light cable section on West Second Street and College Avenue, with tests after rain. It also mentions a New York stock recovery led by steels, noting a climb around three points amid cautious buying.

Firemen Save Home Near City
Independent Hose Company firemen quickly extinguished a fire at the Charles Wertheimer farm, two miles west of Frederick, near the National highway. A passerby saw smoke and alerted Mr. and Mrs. George C. Stauffer, who called the fire company around 10 30 am. Firemen opened the burned roof section 13 by 15 feet, reaching joists as needed, aided by damp shingles and light wind. A chimney spark or recent rain dampness was blamed for the limited damage. Plans called for tarpaulin to cover the area until roof repairs.
