House Committee Acts to Speed
Probe Of District Rents

Estate Board, said there is no
general rise in rents in prospect,
explaining:
"While there has been a
great increase in population
here recently, the figure is
still around $4,000 less than
the peak during the World
War.
"And since the war there
have been approximately $4,000
new homes and a considerable
number of apartment houses
erected here. So there is really
no acute shortage of housing
at this time"
Explaining the rent situation
here, he said:
"On the average, Washing
toms rates are high. But that
is due to the fact that the
District has no industrial areas
which carry with them low

the committee, Mr.. Whiteford said
that since the first of February
his committee had been gathering
information to ascertain:
!. If an emergency exists.
2. If rents have increased.
3. If returns on real estate in
VeStments are exorbitant.
Reason for Study
The committee made this inves'
tigation, he said, because:
Early last January there was
an indication that an effort
would be made to enact rental
legislation similar to that exist
ing during the war;"
His committee, he said, had de-
term1ned in answer to the three
problems that it investigated:
IL. In our opinion, no emer-
Sency exists. Conditions today
cannot be compared with those
during the war.
"2. Rents have generally in
creased barely One-fifth of l per
cent between January l, 1884,
and January 1, 1885, compared
with a rise throughout the cOun-
try during the same period Of
almost Z per cent.
"3. Returns on apartment
properties cannot be considered
unreasonable, unless average
net incomes of less than 5 per
cent on the assessed value Of
properties be deemed unreaSOn-
able"
Despite the contention of the
real estate legislative committee
Mrs. Norton said that she would
seek the conference Immediately
No Boost Expected
There is no danger of a gen
eraI increase in apartment rents
here this spring, although in some
instances owners of apartments
and residence hotels have taker
advantage of the Federal pay res
toration to boost rents, a survey
by The Washington Times re
vealed today.
In some instances where in
creaseS are already in effect, the
property owners asserted this SteT
was taken after Improvement
had been made. Others said thai

ton reductions in rents granted
a year or so ago had been with
drawn, amounting to an increase
to the old scale.

sign of reduction in rent for the
summer months, the Wardman

the agent for the property ex.

the future would hold, explaining
that fuel and labor costs have
increased greatly.

News Service)

GENEVA, April II I.N.S)
"That was my answer to Hit
ler-my answer to what he told
Sir John Simon in Berlin about
the Red army"
It was Maxim Litvinoff, foreign
commiSsar of Soviet Russia, speak
ing excitedly in a corridor Of the
League of Nations building this
afternoon delivering a scorchine
attack upon Germany without
naming her.
Here is what he said in his ad
dress:
What must be done If, in
certain circumstances, we find
ourselves facing motives which
allow us to think that arma-
ments are not intended for pro-
lection of frontiers but for their
violation and to realize revenge
by violent methods and to at
tack the security Of countries
neighbOring or distant, and to
violate the peace of the world
with all its disastrous cOnSe-
quenceS?
REARMING ASSAILED
"What must be done, ask
you, if a state which takes the
right of arming itself is admin
lStered by people who have pro-
claimed before the whole world
a program of foreign policy
which includes not only a policy
Of revenge, but also a policy Of
unlimited conquest of foreign
territories and destruction Of the
independence of whole countries
by people who, after having
publicly announced such q pro-
gram, far from repudiating it
do nothing but develop 1t, do
nothing but develop 1t con-
tlnually and promote it as the
spirit of their country?
"What must you do when q
country whose chiefs proclaim
such policy refuses to give any
guarantee that 1t will not be
carried out, which refuses to
give any guarantee of the Sc
curity of neighbOring countries?
Promises which such an az.
greSSive character might make
could hardly be taken seriously
If he promised to spare certain
sections Of the town and only
use his weapons in other sec
tiOnS."

Despite denials of the owners

D. A. R. BANQUET

|TEVERHELD
Six Delegates From Foreign
Chapters of Organization
To Be Among Guests

Mrs. Frederick Reynolds, chair.
man of the banquet committee,
announces the National D. A. r.
banquet, Saturday night at the
Mayflower Hotel, will be the
largest ever held. Attendance
may reach 1900 persons if &C
commodations for that number can
be made, she said.
Mrs. Reynolds also said that so
far six delegates from the foreign
chapters, representing London,
Paris and Honolulu, have bought
tickets for the banquet.
There were quite a few Daugh-
tiers carrying knitting bags yester-
day. But one of them admitted
that she had her reports and con-
ference notes in the bag instead
of wool and needles, declaring it
was the only thing she could find
big enough"
Mrs. w. Alden Wall, chairman
of the lost and found committee,
announces that there are two
pairs of glasses, an empty case,
four scarfs, a boutonniere, about
dozen gloves, in pairs and sin
giles; several badges, and hand
kerchiefs at the lost and found
desk.
Mrs. Wall already has returned
six glasses, a railroad ticket to
Boston, and a valuable pocket
book, besides numerous other ar
ticleS.
Mrs. Wall has been chairman Of
this committee for several years.
The most extraordinary thing
brought to her department. she
said, was a brown shoe heel. This
she kept for two years before
throwing 1t away.
All articles are kept for two
years. After that the gold from
jewelry is melted for the benefit
of the hall and the other things
are sent to children in schools
supervised by the D. A. r.
A notice on one Of the bulletin
boards in Memorial Continental
Hall reads:
COSTA small Virginia Co
lOniaI Dame pin with initials
A. T. A. on the back. Please

desk" \ 4
Another notice reads: &
Goat exchanged in President
Generals reception room. Re
turn to M. T. DOVE, same
place."
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam, SIS
ter Of former Vice President
Curtis, and Mrs. William E. Kelly,
president OF the League of Repub-
lican Women, will be hostesses at
a tea this afternoon, from 4 to 6
O'Clock, in the league headquar-
tiers, Sixteenth st. and Scott Circle
Northwest, in honor of Republican
members attending the Congress.
Mrs. Sara K. Frizell, historian
of the local Col. John Washing
ton Chapter, who is attending the
Congress as regents alternate,
tripped gaily about Memorial Con-
tinental Hall yesterday, wearing
tricky blue imported rough
straw hat, pulled over one side at
a becoming angle. She wore a
blue coat which fastened under
her chin with a huge taffeta silk
bow. She also wore hand
braided royal blue, drape-around
dress. Quite becoming, Mrs. Fri
zell in her ensemble!
