Walter D.

Kline, director of the Des Moines district OPA, said the 41 hotels are in Dm Moines, Cedar Rapids, Ottum-a and Newton, four of the five, rental districts are in Iowa, The investigation was begun last July after the Des Moines office had received complaints of over reiling charges on rooms and also a great many hotels discontinuing permanent guest rate. Saving. As a result of the investigation, Kline said that tenants in the four cities will save approximately $12,000 a month because of OPA action in forcing the hotels to restore permanent guest rates to all units that previous to June, 1942, were rented on permanent guest basis. Kline said in many cases hotels had ceased having permanent guests and rooms that formerly rented for from $50 to $90 a month on a permanent basis were rented for $ft or $8 s. day on straight day rates.

In some cases tent was nearly tripled, Kline said. This forced the majority of permanent guests to seek other housing. Rent ceilings for hotels in the Des Moines area are based on prices charged during the 30 days ending March 1, 1942. The effective date of the ceilings was Sept. 1, 1942.

New Action. Through June 1, 1944. hotels found charging tenants over-ceiling prices were allowed to make voluntary contributions to the United States treasury, but after that date a new action known as an administrator's consumer damage claim was instituted, which forced hotels to pay the overcharges into the treasury when tenants could not be found. In the cases where former tenants, who had been charged overceiling rates, could be located, the excess charge was refunded directly to them, Kline said. In addition to the collections made through the investigation, Kline said three hotels in Des Moines and one in Cedar Rapids were permanently enjoined from further violations of the rent control regulations.
