WASHINGTON, Nov. 2—(>P>—A de-
termined fight to maintain rent con-
trols was signalled by OPA Saturday
with disclosure that the price agency
Is expanding Its rental staff.
Even while knocking off other price
lids by the dozens. OPA has recruited
200 new rent employes and expects to
hire another 400 this month, an offi-
cial said. .J _
The field and national force already
working exclusively on rental ceilings
numbered 8.114 Saturday. Many other
OPA workers spend part of their time
on enforcement, accounting and ad-
ministration.
OPA personnel heads said they will
not know before November 15 just how-
many of the 34.700 OPA employes will
be dismissed as a result of the decon-
trol moves. About 31.000 of these
workers hold jobs outside of Wash-
ington.

ot San Francisco. "I wax through
with the ship and the ship was
through with me. Everybody was
looking for Molotov (Russian foreign
mfhister Vyacheslav! Molotovi and
nobody was looking for poor me.”
Finally, a policeman told her to
take a bus to Grand Central sta-
tion if she wanted to board a train
for San Francisco.
*'i got on a bus and the driver
kept telling me to put a nickel in the
box,” she said. ”1 didn't know what
a nickel wax, and he frowned and
shouted until I got off.”
She plodded around for hours un-
til a waitress directed her to trav-
elers Yiid. A train brought her to
San Francisco and—

i Court Asked to Keep
Man Away From Hotel
Lelah Popplewelt owner of tha
Sahgster hotel. 300! 2 W Rerio. Satur-
] day sought a restraining order to pre-
vent J A. Capertorv. the former owner,
■; from coming on tlie premises,
f According to the petition. Capertoh
gave the-plaintiff a promissory note
with the hotel as security, and the
city traffic commission Sat-
urday in a recommendation
that the city council make a
complete '^erhaul of the
city’s taxicab ordinances.
The commission simultane-
ously ordered “an immediate
study of the feasibility of the
city levying a fee based on per-
centage of gross taxicab intake”
in lieu of license fees now
charged.
Veterans Denied Permit
Announcement of the commission's
position in the bitter taxicab problem
followed its denial Friday of a permit
for the United Veterans Taxicab <fe
Baggage .Co., to operate 55 additional
cabs here, and Saturday morning's
rainstorm, while cabs were at a prem-
ium during tjie rush period of people
trying to get to work on time.
Exiting operators and their drivers'
union opposed the application on the
'grounds that they didn’t want any
more competition.
The commission found that tlie ap-
plicant was financially, insecure, of-
fered to put only old model cars into
service, and that granting the permit
would add only to existing confusion in
the matter.
Service Termed Inadequate
Members also madeqan official find-
ing that existing cab service "is In-
adequate.” that the public conveni-
ence and necessity does require addi-
tional cabs, or improved service from
those now existing, or both.
Final recommendations of the com-
mission dumped tha entire problem
in the city council's lap under leader-
