Municipal Court Asked by
Department of Justice to
Decide Cases Individually

The Department of Justice. through
Assistant Attorney General H. H.
Classic. today appeared in the Mon
mouth Hotel eviction proceedings be-
fore Judge Robert H. Terrell in the
Municipal Court.
Declaring that 1t was the duty of
the court to recognize the fact that
II cSp avoid public anxiety and chaos,
Mr.. flassie asked that the court in
deciding the case in hand. which was
other similar cases. treat them in
6ividually on their merits. and that
only cases exactly paralleling the
one on which the Court of Appeals
based its decision be construed as af-
fected by that decision.
He pointed out that the Municipal
Court was confronted with two
courses of action, either to stand by
the decision of the Court of Appeals
or to stand by the rent commission.
He proposed that it stand by both,
by basing it's decisions on individual
merits of the cases presented
He urged the court not to consider
the decision of the Court of Appeals
as abolishing the rent commission.
Word has gone out tha. the Ball
rent act does not exist" declared Mr..
Classic. with the consequence that
landlords. whether tenants pay rent
or not will flock to this court on the
plea that the legislative machinery
does not act. They will come to evict
tenants. creating a turmoil of public
anxiety.
Il do not come here to ask the court
to overrule the decision of the Court
of Appeals. or to ask it to treat with
indifference it's decision"
Calling attention to the decision OF
the Court of Appeals in the Block
Hirsh case, he said he did not Ques-
tion the power of the Court of Ap-
peals to declare the statute uncon-
stitutional. but he did insist that the
> rulings should not go beyond the act
ual case in hand.
THE act of Congress and it's in
tentions must have full sway in each
case in every way presented until no
rational doubt exists that the statute
is Illegal he said I'm the appealed
case possession was the only question
tion of rent. The court had before
1t the bare question of whether Con-
gress has power to keep a tenant in
premises beyond the expiration of his
lease. and it is the fundamental duty
of this court to recognize the law
and the intentions of Congress, as ex-
pressed in the law.
Furthermore. it must be recognized
that the Court of Appeals is not su-
preme and that the decision was made
by divided court on question en-
tirely new 10 it
Mr.. Classic had not ended his ad-
dress when this report closed. In the
course of the argument Attorney Mer-
illat for the Monmouth Hotel inter-
rupted with questions. The courtroom
was crowded with spectators. mostly
lawyers and persons interested in the
scope of the law.

this connection is construed by these

was said
The financial resources of radical
associations are being carefully scru-
tinized. and it was thought that the
income of many will be cut Off by the
new law. which prohibits the giving
or loaning of money to anarchistic
organizations. Purchase of red"
bonds will come within this category.
