set-off Is Issue

The plaintiff, in the case at bar
merely Joined issue upon the de-
PENDANTS plea of set-off or coun'
terclaim, that is, the suit which
the defendant filed against the
plaintiff as is allowed by the Code
Of course, under such circum'
stances, no trial could be had
upon the defendants plea. If,
upon the trial. the plaintiff at
tempted to set up an affirmative
defense to the defendants plea of
set-off or counterclaim. this could
not be allowed because rule %,
section 2, demands that every
pleading shall set forth the true
facts upon which the pleader re-
lies. In the instant case, the
plaintiff has ignored the defen-
dant's suit expressed in it's plea
of set-off or counterclaim.
After hearing the above motion
Mr.. Justice James M. Proctor
granted the said motion to strike
plaintiffs joinder of issue to the
defendants counterclaim or set
off and allowed the plaintiff 10
days within which to plead to the
plea and to file an affidavit of
defense thereto.
The plaintiff was represented
by William F. Kelly and P. j. j.
Nicolaides while the defendant
appeared by H. J. Pack and Levi
II. David.

Counterclaim Clause Upheld
By Justice lanes Proctor

lno affidavit was necessary in the
cause.
The motion came on for hear
ing before Mr.. Justice Bailey in
the Motions Court.
The plaintiffs only contention
was that by reason of the fact
that plaintiff had elected to pro-
coed under a declaration without
an affidavit Of merit, it follows
that there is no reason for the
defendant to file such an aft.
davit in support Of it's plea.
The defendant on the other
hand contended that the plea of
counterclaim was in the nature of
a new suit and not a plea of set
off. as contended by the plaintiff.
The pleadings further show that
the counterclaim arises out of
transactions entirely independent
of the facts set forth by the plain.
tiff in his declaration.

Defendant 5 Position

The defendants main conten-
lions being:
1st. That a counterclaim, under
sections 1865 and 1857 of the Dis
trict of Columbia Code, is an &C
ton against the plaintiff, and,
therefore, required a plea by the
plaintiff. Citing Samaha VS.. Sa-
maha, 10 App. D. C. 76; New Ar
cade Co. VS.. Owens, 40 App. D. c.
IS; MCGUIRE VS.. Geistley, 26 App.
D. C. 1913 (affirmed in 2O4 U. S.
489).
End. That because an affidavit
of merit accompanied said plea
the 73rd rule applies and the fall
ure of the plaintiff to file an at
fidavit of defense entities the de-
PENDANT to judgment against the
plaintiff.
Section 1865 of the D. c. Code
provided that a defendant who
files a plea of set-off. founded on
a claim against the plaintiff, shall
be deemed to have brought an &C.
ton at the time of filing said plea
against the plaintiff for the mat
tiers mentioned in the plea. The
plaintiff cannot dismiss his case
and thus be rid of the defendant S
claim: if the plaintiff should dis
miss his case, the defendants plea
of set-off, or suit against the
plaintiff stands for trial.
Since a defendant who pleads a
counterclaim or set-off is cons1d'
cred in respect to his plea as
Standing in the position of a plain
tiff, it follows that the party
against whom such claim is set
no stands as a defendant in that
regard, and not only has a right
to reply to such plea but is re-
ouired to do so. 1t therefore FOL
lows that if a plaintiff wishes to
controvert the defendants coun-
terclaim he must reply by way OF
plea and affidavit and not by a
ioinder of issue. If a plaintiff
fails to reply to defendants plea
of counterclaim it would be
deemed to be an admission OF
the facts alleged by way of coun.
terclaim and the defendant would
be entitled to a Judgment by de-
fault.

GENERALLY speaking, Il1e AulSTl-
can public has already received
it's benefits from the New Deal.
Homes have been salvaged from
collapse of the nations financial
structure - farmers have been
relieved and skilled laborers, with
assistance of FERA, PWA and
other emergency agencies, have
been privileged to assert their
demands for higher wages with,
out fear of privation or loss of
employment.
But for the working realtor
there has been no aid. And,
strange to say, the working real
tor with a little New Deal help
could do large part toward re-
juvenating the country's indus.
trial setup.
This was forcibly brought to
the Presidents attention last
March when he returned from his
Florida fishing vacation. It was
Frank Walker, director of the Ma
tional Emergency Council, who in
formed him that new building OF
modest homes is the key-log in the
jam which has tied up industry
with its resultant wave of unem
ployment and idle materials all
over the country.
The Administration knows that
the housing program will wipe out
unemployment in the country anG
will give industry a new lease on
life. No other measure could &C
compliSh this quite as sollndly US
a national building program.
According to the most conserva
tive estimates, based on numerous
surveys. there is a shortage OF
more than 100000 homes in the
country today. No less than II
men are required directly to en-
gage in the actual building of an
ordinary dwelling. This would
give employment to approximately
100000 men.
Then there is the matter OF
building material. Countless mil
lions of feet of lumber would be
used; bricks, cement, tin, wall
paper, lime and paint We uld be
consumed, adding new impetus
to manufacturing activities; and
transportation. by motor and by
train, would be called on to aid
in the program.
Not so long ago. Hugh Potter,
president of the National Associ.
alton of Real Estate Boards
commended the Washington board
for its work in furthering Ger.
tain legislation and from what
Mr.. Potter said at that meeting
it is expected that the local unit
will do its part in the present
emergency.
If it had been dreamed that
Congress would still be in session
at this late date, sponsors of the
real estate licensing bill might
have bent their efforts to have
it pass the House.

however, and this is bringing a
