BOSTON, June IA tall blonde

proportions as to be known AS
"the blonde Amazon was being
sought by police today in the
brutal murder and robbery of Mrs.

PROBLEM
WORSE
Eighty Per Cent of People
Suffering, Metzerott Re-
ports to Coolidge

Rental conditions in Washing :
tho are growing worse for so per
cent Of the population of the Dis
trict.
This is one Of the seven major
conclusions in the final report
of the District Rent Commission,
placed today in the hands of
President Coolidge by Oliver
Metzerott, chairman of the COM
mission, which ceased to function
on May %.
Chairman Metzerott sets forth
in the report that the chronic
congested condition which has
existed in the National Capital
for seven years continues to be
felt by those whose pay is $4,000
per annum or less.
Cites Congress Powers.
Confidence is voiced by Chair
man Metzerott in his report that
If Congress. under the police power,
has the authority to limit the
height of buildings or fix the fair
rate for the use of money for
electric lighting. etc, it certainly
has the power to regulate rates
for shelter, "the first of all neces-
sites of life."
THE only effective protection for
tenants Of the District" says
Chairman Metzerott in the report,
lis rent regulation by an admin
istrative body created by Congress,
as stated in Senator Copelands s
report"
Three other major conclusions
are:
Because of the cost Of labor,
materials. and of financing, there
has been no construction in the
past seven years which has ma
terially relieved the housing short
age for this class, and as con-
gestiOn has increased, rents in pre-
war buildings have been increased
exorbi;antly without any real ex-
cuse or justification.
Richer Classes Aided.
Building of high-grade apart
ments has relieved. to some extent
the housing shortage for 20 per
cent of the population-those with
salaries from 5000 up--but rentals
have not been reduced, though the
supply for this class is sufficient.
Laws to license real estate
agents and to forbid pyramiding
of trusts might protect small in
vestors in mortgage bonds, but
would not save tenants from the
greed Of profiteering landlords"
1t is shown by the report that
during the life OF the Rent Com
mission or from January 20. 1920
to May %, 1925, a total Of 9,441
complaints were filed with the Com
mission; that 6.555 cases were heard
and $685. determinations rendered
with 1877 cases disposed Of.
The number of cases heard hut
not determined is given at sixty
three and the total number of cases
remaining undispOsed of 464.
The report covers 100 pages, in
cluding the text Of the rent act
and comprehensive review of the
situation here which Chairman
Metzerott believes will be of aid to
other cities that may find need for
rent regulation.

In discussing the Ford air service

experiment which he said he wanted
TO make entirely public as to every
detail of elcpinent, Mr.. Ford
said:
There has been some slight mis-
conception about our flying activi-
ties. Many people seemed to think
born service 1t meant we were 60
ing to start right in making air
planes in quantity production. Others
thought the air service was purely
an auxiliary of our own business.
THE latter theory is nearer cor
rect than the former, but it isn't
exactly accurate. What we are do
ing is this: we decided the time was
ripe for serious consideration of
aviation as an Industrial transpor-
tation unit. And we concluded the
very best way for US to study the
proposition was to start flying so
we wouldn't have TO depend for in
formation on what other folks did
and said.
This air service of ours is really
on trial :. We keep exact tab on
every detail connected with it. We
keep records on how the engines
behave in regular daily service, how
they stand heavy loads. what their
cost is compared to motor or rail-
road transportation. and how de.

His pole struck some object be-
meath the water. Peering down in
to the shallow water, the crabman
saw the body of a man.
Brown lost no time in padding
for help. When the body was re-
moved from the water, it was found
to be that of Selby. 1t was taken
to the Naval Hospital morgue.
Since the tragedy occurred We'd
