FOR WON'T PREDICT WHEN WAR WILL END

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt declined yesterday to predict when the war might

end. He was asked about a statement

Minister Oliver Lyttelton, who said the war in Europe could, but not necessarily would, end in 1943. The president said it was perfectly all right for Lyttelton to make his own predictions. He. told reporters that he was sure they had not noticed him making any pre-

dicitions.

RENTS LOWERED

Reductions Effective Jan. 1; $10 is Announced as

Base Figure.

A lowered rent schedule will go into effect for the 748 families living at Lockefield Gardens Jan. 1. Tenants received notice today from the national housing agency of the federal public housing authority. The notice announced general re-

lower income brackets and said that all families will be permitted to earn substantially more than at present before any change will occur in their rentals. : , Bottom rents will be $10 a month, including heat, light and refrigeration for familiés earning below $600 a year, and will range to $18 a month for families earning up to $1150. Pay 5th of Income

Rents are based upon a policy of charging approximately 20 per cent of income (with deductions for social security and dependents living outside the family). Persons with higher incomes ranging from $1150 to $1550 a year will be charged up to $25 a month. No families will be admitted to the project as new tenants if their total incomes exceed $1550, but present residents earning more than this amount will not be compelled to move from the development until suitable housing is available from private landlerds. Rents will be higher for these families able to pay a larger share of the cost of maintaining the project, but all rents will be below the maximum ceilings of $36 for a three-room and $40 for a four or five-room dwelling, including all utilities.

‘ALERTS’ PLANNED IN FIVE TOWNSHIPS

Surprise alert tests will be held in five townships in the county outside Indianapolis within the next three weeks, William E. Munk, acting civilian defense director for the county, said today. Three townships, Wayne, Washington and Perry, had their surprise test last night. No sirens were sounded as the public was not included in the mobilization. Its purpose was to test the efficiency of the 1600 volunteers responsible for handling conditions in case of an actual air raid alarm. The test was directed by township directors and their staffs from township control centers. The first test alarm was sounded by telephone at 6:30 p. m. and followed by two other alarms at half hour

intervals.
