Turns Over Housing Problem
to Stone After Conference
With Senator Ball

President Coolidge today. turned
! over to Attorney General Stone com.
plete jurisdiction in the District of
Columbia rent situation.
When Senator Ball, chairman OF
the Senate District Committe, and
author of the local rent control act
placed new data before the Presi-
dent today with regard to the local
housing situation, he was asked to
take the matter up with the Attor'
ney General without delay.
Acting upon this request of the
President, Senator Ball expects to
confer with Attorney General Stone
next week and will lay before him
data relating to evictions. rent in
creases, and so forth, which re-
Gently have been given to him by
the Tenants League and other or.
CARNATIONS.
Senator Ball told the President to-
day that local rents were advancing
beyond the power of Government
employees to pay.
There is no emergency in the
housing shortage, he said, but there
Is an emergency In the inability of
Federal workers to pay the rentals
that are being asked.
Relief for this situation, Senator
Ball believes, Is to be found in the
| correction of local real estate prac.
tees. including resa1es of apartment
properties. mortgagIng of these prop.
critics to three or four times their
| real value, fake sales and so forth.
Senator Ball again called the at.
tention of the President to the con-
ditions- disclosed in the Senate Dis
trict Committee housing report of
last spring.
1t has not been determined
whether new legislation will be re.
qutred to deal with and to prevent
these practices, Senator Ball said
today upon leaving the White
House. 1t Is understood that
Assistant Attorney General ..Dono.
van, who has been given charge
| OF the further investigation of local
conditions for Attorney General
Stone, is Of the opinion that q
more strenuous law win be required
before unsound financial practices
| affecting local real estate can be
dealt with. A formal report upon
this phase of the matter. probably
will be before Attorney General
Stone in the near future,
There was no suggestion today
at the conference between the
President and Senator Ball that the
Rent Commission act would be ex-
| tended after it expires next May.
Senator Ball did not offer any rec
concentrations as to how further
regulation of rents can be brought
about in view of the various court
decisions curtailing the powers of

The 100000 public buildings

districts for new Federal buildings
would have to be met by Congress,

BURDICK Will
DROP CHARGES
AT WILLIST0N
Special Prosecutor, Here, Says
That Conviction Could Not
BE Secured on Them
SAYS HE is LIMITED
Might Bind Defendants Over
But Could Not Secure a
Conviction, He Says

u. l.. Burdick, special prosecutor
in the Williston bank cases, announ-
ced this afternoon that he would not
press the cases against Erick Thor
berg, Ed Schulenbcrg, George Bates
and Gilbert Semingson, state bank
examiner. charged with receiving dc
posits when the bank was insolvent
at preliminary hearing scheduled
for April 81.
Mr.. Burdick sal! statutes provide
four grounds on which bank may
be declared insolvent. Investigation
OF decisions in criminal cases ruled
out these threev-when reserve isn't
made rood, do not pay obligations.
do not obey orders of banking boards
leaving one cause, when assets at
a fair value do not equal liabilities
The latter cause, he said, was a
matter of opinion, and he would have
to rely on local directors. who would
say the assets were equal to liabil-
tiles.
II probably could bind these de-
PENDANTS over, but do not believe
could secure a conviction said Mr.
Burdick. Il might as well drop the
case now as six months from now.'
Accuser and accused faced each
other in apparently friendly confer
ence in the state capital yestel day
AFTERNOON.
u. l.. Burdick of Fargo, named spe-
cial prosecutor in the case he irsti-
tuted at Williston against Gilbert
Semingson and others in connection
with the voting trust agreement made
during times of stringency in the
Williams County State Bank, called
on Mr.. Semineson this afternoon
His call, however, was strictly bus
iness-he wanted to see some bank
department. records he might use in
the case against Semingson. The
latter got the records for Burdick.
