Rents Likely to Jump as Families Abandon Crowding "Unscrambling" of Families Hikes Demand for Housing 5 TO 20 PER CENT Increases Are Expectec Throughout South This Autumn ATLANTA. Ga. kinfolk who descending upon father a fcv years ago for the duration of the dc presion are ending their "visits" am as a result (Me man who pays the ron is going to find his monthly housing bill from 5 to 20 per cent 'higher ii the South this fall This family quote Miami realtor, was revealed Friday by survey of rcnUil agencies as one of the rcnsons why an upward revision of residential rates is in prospect in most of the large Southern cities within the next month or two.

The trend toward higher rents, as the real estate men see it, is caused to some extent by renewed demand for the better clnss of apartment which has accompanied returning prosperity in the nation's business. Many agents report a marked reduction in vacancies. One of the sharpest prospective rises was forecast in Little Rock, where a realtor predicted apartment rents would advance 10 to 20 per cent bv fall. At the other extreme in Dixie was Richmond, which had no expectation of any appreciable increase in the rate on September first leases. Roanoke, however, planned to follow the General trend with an approximate 10 per cent advance.

Memphis realty companies have announced an incrcaes of 10 to 15 per cent on virtually all apartments and residences, effective October 1, and pointed to a scarcity of desirable living quarters und a rise in prices of coal and janitors' wages as the compelling causes. "Free rent" for half- month occupancy will be eliminated. Nashville, on the other hand, foresaw no general move for higher priced apartments, although the separation of families which have been sharing dwellings was noted, with a consequent decrease in vacancies. Atlanta's rentr. were reported as going up about five per cent, with an increased demand for the more ex- pensivo apartments.

Vacancies here have been reduced by half of the number listed at this time last year. Believe me, I didn't understand al those veiled remarks from Roy An derson, Jim Henry, Sid Bundy and tin rest of the inquiring abou the township 1 looked a the official canvass Friday night. There were only four candidates ii DcRoan, while the township requires that five justices be elected. The four candidates and their tabulation were: A. C.

Monts W. G. Brigh S. F. Huntlcy Mrs.

G. Morris 1,385. But four more names wore writlei in on the ticket: Washburn 155; Simmons 52; Recce 25; Sanders 4. The situation has its disadvantages and its advantages. There isn't any runoff for township office, so I can't crawl out of it by arrangement with the veteran Mr.

Simmons. But on the other hand, not being avowed candidate, I don't have to pay for a card of thanks to the voters. XXX My friends point out that this year they elected me. But my enemies will recall that when 1 was a candidate for justice two years ago I was defeated. So, Mr.

Young Politician, bo warned by my lot, which I know you will learn about politics from me. If a man isn't a candidate he MAY be he CAN't be defeated School Crisis LITTLE schools" and general salary cuts for teachers threaten during the 1934-35 school term because of inadequate financing of school districts, Floyd, director of school financing! said Friday.

Evans, sounded a "bugle call" to remove Senator Long from power and retire him.

The announcement said the work would be left to the Louisiana Klan. George Christians from his headquarters in Chattanooga made public a letter to the imperial wizard saying he had noticed that the Klan had dropped the racia) and religious issues to "actively fight for Americanism against Communism and alien radicals." Christians then asked a series of questions wanting to know how the Klan stands among other things "on the proposal to nationalize our banking system," and "give the politicians complete control over credit so they can shove rough Johnson and smooth Tugwell and the rest of the alphabet soup down our throats." He also said, that "I am inclined to think" that the new Klan has "merely stolen part of our program for sucker bait."
