WASHINGTON (upi) -The official publication of new federal rent control regulations gives tenants who were faced with a Jan. 1 increase at least another month at their present rent, Price Commission chairman C. Jackson Grayson said Thursday. In a statement accompanying notice that the rent rules went into effect Dec. 29, Grayson said tenants renting on a month-to-month basis or shorter rental period need pay no more rent for January than they did for December unless they paid their January rent before Wednesday.

The rent regulations announced earlier this month allow landlords to boost rents 2.5 per cent a year without having to show cost increases, but permit larger boosts only to reflect higher state and local property taxes and other government charges. Tenants must be given at least 30 notice of rent boosts and have the right to demand cost justifications from the landlord before they must pay the higher rents. Rent controls, however, cover only existing housing units. New rental housing, older dwellings which have been substantially habilitated and farm and commercial rental property are exempt from controls. Grayson said tenants who were notified of the Jan.

1 rent increase but who did not pay it before Dec. 29 were not liable for the higher amount because no at the new rent had occurred before the regulations took effect. The regulations require the landlord to establish the rent of the unit and to give the tenant a full notice of an increase, with an explanation of the reasons for any boost of more than 2.5 per cent.

The survey, prepared for the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, represented the first complete, long-term estimate of the costs of parenthood. Total expenses of raising a single child were put at about $60,000 in direct expenses including a college education and $40,000 in lost opportunities for wage earning by the mother. For each additional child, the burden is $29,000. These are only averages. Where the mother has five years of college or more, the total financial burden for two children was placed at nearly $150,000.

The latest vetoes brought to 157 the number of bills Reagan has vetoed this year. The alltime record is held by Hiram Johnson who vetoed 431 bills in 1913. veto Thursday of the primary bill by Sen.

Alfred E. Alqui9t, D-San Jose, was the third straight time he has rejected the bill in as many years. He also vetoed a bill by Sen. Anthony C. Beilenson, D-Beverly Hills, which would have barred construction of a proposed high-speed train between Los Angeles International Airport and the San Fernaodo Valley without legislative permission.

The 14 measures Reagan rejected include three reapportionment bills. Reagan announced he had vetoed them earlier Thursday in Los Angeles. The office said list would probably be the last of the year, barring unforeseen circumstances. Monday, the legislature will meet in a brief special session to consider overriding the vetoes. But no legislature has overriden a veto since 1946, and this year is not expected to be any exception.

Under the all-star primary bill, the secretary of state would have put the names of a 11 candidates on the ballot. If a contender objected to having his name listed, he could withdraw by filing an affidavit that he was not a candidate. This would have abolished the protection enjoyed by favorite son candidates who can virtually freeze out all opposition candidates from their party. Reagan was a favorite son candidate in 1968. He later abandoned his favorite son status at the Republican National Convention and ran unsuccessfully as a full-fledged candidate against Richard Nixon.

In his veto message, Reagan said present system, in California in no way handicaps serious candidates who are seeking presidential He added a candidate is, indeed, generally recognized as a serious presidential contender, his supporters should have no difficulty in gathering sufficient signatures to place his name on the California ballot. If, on the other hand, they are unable to gather sufficient signatures, that, in itself would indicate a lack of broad-based Although Reagan vetoed the bill, voters will have a chance to initiate the system by approving a proposed constitutional amendment which will be on next statewide ballot. If approved, the new primary system, which is modeled after the system in Oregon, would take effect in 1976. Reagan also vetoed these bills: Beilenson, to require legislative approval before construction of a proposed high speed Los Angeles Railroad. Reagan said he was opposed to involvement in the decision by state government because his administration is to the concept of encouraging the development balanced transportation systems through decisions made at the local Assemblyman Leo J.

Ryan, D-Burlingame, to increase the snowmobile registration fee by $1 and establish noise limits for the vehicles. Reagan noted he already has signed legislation regulating snowmobiles and other off- road vehicles. Ballot By Assemblyman Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, to permit voters to send in absentee ballots up to the time the polls close, instead of the current deadline of 5 pm. the previous day, and requiring absentee ballots to be mailed with the ballot pamphlets. Reagan said mailing the absentee ballots to all voters would be too large a for local governments and that some large counties already do it without being ordered to by the state.

Schools By Assemblyman Leon Ralph, D-Los Angeles, requiring the state to authorize six pilot projects In selected school districts where would be tried. Reagan said he was not opposed to parent participation in the educational but that it would be to this policy of local control of to mandate the councils at the state level. Welfare By Assemblyman Jerry Lewis, R-Highland, requiring the state to federal financial participation in certain welfare programs and prescribing who shall receive certain services. Reagan said the bill would child care welfare services for large numbers of people who are not now welfare recipients and could not qualify for welfare Waxman, specifies that the secretary of state is the chief elections officer and repeals certain deadlines for county clerks to provide voter information while allowing the secretary of state to establish new deadlines. Reagan said the bill would have resulted in confusion and unnecessary Sen.

Reagan said the concept needed and the bill was therefore premature. He also said the estimated cost to the state of $1.9 million per year was Ralph, requiring the state to establish standards for child care centers in the community colleges which would have been used for training. Reagan said the bill would re-establish laboratory classrooms in the colleges which were deleted from the budget by the legislature and would have put the colleges into the type of research that should be done only by the University of California. Classes By Assemblyman Eugene Chappie, R-Cool, would have required the state to pay additional support for classes for problem students operated by county superintendents of schools.

Reagan said his administration and the legislative analyst both feel that such classes should not be operated by the county superintendents and the bill would them. Way, to allow the parts of the State Center Community College District which are in Madera County to join another district. Reagan said the bill would exempt the Madera territory from a recently enacted law which sets up an for such transfers.
