For Vacations Procpcct of socking relief from President Roosevelt himself in the matter of the OPA ruling herring the use of privately owned automobiles for conveying families and household effects to summer homes, .took shape 'this week when OPA Administrator Prentiss M. Brown failed personally to reply to a letter from Ben Schlorsberg, president of the New Jersey Association of Real Estate Boards, protesting what he described as “a discriminatory ruling against a specific type of real

estate.”

“It is regrettable,” said Mr. Bchlossberg in an interview yesterday. “that the OPA is attempting to ‘pass the buck' in a matter of such grave importance. Instead of answering the New Jersey realtors direct, Mr. Brown delegated that mission to a 1 partmental subordinate, John Richards, of the gas rationing \ staff, and Mr. Richards, in turn, \ ‘dropped the hot coal’ into the ; lap of Petroleum Administrator \Ickes. Our problem is not with \Mr. Richards, nor is it with Administrator Ickes, Prentiss Brown.” The question involved is too important to be thus tossed around, Mr. Schlosaberg added. It involves the solvency of important areas in this state. "With the vacation season upon us, unless some modification of the drastic ruling by the OPA is immediately forthcoming, the realtors of New Jersey, as spokes-

ed problems, and we as realtors have cooperated with him fully in the conservation of critically needed war materials. But, whso that problem is booted an from one federal agency another, and no intelligent effort is exerted to settle it for the public good, it is high time that the realtors, too, take drastic

‘‘Every member of the Senate and House of 'Representatives to whom we wrote, has personally acknowledged the soundness of our contention and has promised to. support every movement which aims to bring the needed relief,*" Schlossberg continued.

White, general salvage secretary in New Jersey, said this week, “in the fact that national collections are more than 50 per cent below the War Production Board's quota. On the contrary, there is every reason why we in New Jersey should redouble our efforts.
