are covered in the bill. Apartment
hotels are placed in the category with
apartments and houses.
Ten pages in length, the bill goes
into detail to describe the functions
Of the commission and the rights of
tenants to take their grievances to
It for adjustment. The commission
could either on its own initiative or
upon receipt Of complaints decide on
the reasonableness> Of rents charged
for any dwelling rental property. Its
decision would become effective upon
announcement. but the landlord
would have 10 days In which to file
an appeal in the District Supreme
Court.
Would Suspend Rights.
The bill also would suspend many
Of the customary legal rights of land
lords during the life of the commits
sion. For instance, a tenant might
continue to occupy O rental property
as long as he paid his rent and COM
piled with other terms even though
the lease has expired. II the land
lord should withdraw any services or
permit an unsafe and insanitary con-
ditions to arise. the commission could
impose judgment on him. and the
tenant might sue for damages in
court.

of Illinois, who has been critical of
the rent situation, has promised to
support Ellenbogen's bill. Dirksen

mittee.

TOWNSEND TELLS
Of SPENDING PLAN
Pension Money Would Have
to Be Circulated,
He Says.

Enforced spending would be a sa-
lient feature of the Townsend old
age pension plan, and only those able
! to dodge" the pension board would
be able to save once they reach the
age of CO.
This was explained last night by
DR.. F. E. Townsend, sponsor of the
scheme, in an address in the forum of
| the Foreign Service School of Frank
lin Roudybush He would make the
| circulation Of money continuous and
compulsory.
First, he would have the United
States Treasury start the plan work.
ing by 81 600, 900, 0,000-a-month grant
to more than 100000 persons over
the so age limit. A 2 per cent sales
tax collected on everything sold in
the United States would soon balance
the budget and relieve 100000 old
men and women from jobs, giving as
many positions to the younger people
all over the country.
$500 to Spend Monthly.
Grandma and grandpa would be
welcome everywhere because mer-
chants and businessmen would know
they had 5000 each every month to
spend. No longer would the aged be
pushed around and Stunned from So
ciety. Not as long as they had 5000
they had to spend every month,
which, Dr.. Townsend explained, they
couldn't invest in real estate, the stock
market or tie up the money in slow
! moving investments.
Gould my grandfather loan me
some of that money to help pay my
way through college?" a young man
asked anxiously.
YES" replied DR.. Townsend, land
what's more, he could spend part Of
that money to buy your clothing, your
food and help you pay for car"
Gee, that's SWELL" And the young
man sat down.
Another in the audience grew skep-
tical as the discussion continued.
If all those 25,000,0 900 petition
signers think the plan is 50 good,
why limit the pension to those over
co." he asked. why not pay 1t to
people so or SIS years old?"
Earlier Retirement.
DR.. Townsend explained that as
the plan went along and the Treasury
Department heaped up the money
from the sales tax, the time would
come when every one would retire at
middle age and enjoy the benefits
of pension. If cents were collected
on every dollar spent on commodities,
it wouldn't be long until cynical skep-
ticiSm, as we'll as the so-called de-
preston would be overcome by pros
perity.
MY plan is so simple that the most
intelligent often misunderstood It,"
DR.. Townsend said. 1T Is exactly as
the name implies-a revolving pen
sion. The Government would get
back every cent it paid out and all
that money in circulation every month
would, without doubt, stabilize the
country forever"
Those approaching the waning
years would no longer fear life, nor
dread the advancing years, hesitating
to spend for fear they would lose
their homes or go hungry. Life to
them would be gay, new and without
worry. There would be no more
"skin-fii either, he said.
Grandma would dress up in the
snappieSt frock and grandpa would
carry cane and wear a topper" a
young woman said. And even the
ladies would want to get old quickly!"

CITY HEADS STUDY
LIQUOR RULE APPEAL
Dealer Says Acquittal in Police
Court Should rnvalidate A. B.
G. Board Action.

An appeal from the decision OF the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board re-
voking the liquor license held by
Christ Pappas for his restaurant at
1881 Seventh street was being studied
today by the Commissioners.
An issue Is made over the fact that
Pappas was acquitted in Police Court
of a charge of selling liquor on Sum
day before the A. B. C. Board found
him guilty on the same charge. The
board ruled it was not bound to fol-
low the decision in Police Court since
1t was a disciplinary and not a judicial
body.
The case was thrown out of Police
Court, 1t is reported, because of q
mixup of the beverage which was Of
fered in evidence, after it had been
sent to the District chemist for
analysis.
Counsel for Pappas told the city
heads the man was vindicated by the
Police Court acquittal and that no
tribunal could lawfully retry the same
charge. The action Of the A. B. G.
Board was called arbitrary.

.1S PUBLIC WORKS
ENGINEERS RESIST
JOBL0SS TUESDAY
Vigorous Protests Filed
After Notification by
Treasury Unit.
TEMPORARY STATUS
CITED BY OFFICIALS
Immediate Reinstatement Is De-
manded by Federation-Plea
to Roosevelt.

About 156 architects and engineers
of the public works branch, Procure-
ment Division of the Treasury De-
partment, have been notified of their
dismissal next Tuesday, it was learned
today.
Vigorous protest against the dis
missals has been filed by the Fedora
ton of Architects, Engineers, Chem
lists and Technicians, who claim the
men are badly needed in the Govern
ment's big building program and
should be reinstated.
Officials of the public works branch
today explained that all the men
slated to go Tuesday are on tenn
porary status and had finished the
work for which they were hired. The
men were put on with the under
standing that they might have about
two months work, it was explained.
and in most cases they have had more
work than that. Most of the men
are architectural craftsmen.
Demand Reinstatement
In its protest, the local chapter Of
the Federation of Architects, Engi-
neers. Chemists and Technicians de
manded" that all those slated to 60
be reinstated Immediately"
Copies of the resolution of protest
have been sent to President Roosevelt,
Secretary of the Interior Ickes, Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau. the
Civil Service Commission, Rear Ad-
miral C. J. Peoples, director of pro-
curement; other officials of the Pro-
curement Division and to all members
of Congress.
The resolution makes charges of
overtime work without pay or leave
compensation for architects and en-
gineerS."
This policy, the resolution declares,
has resulted in "a direct shortening
OF the period of employment, the pre-
vention Of employment of a greater
number of architects and engineers,
lowering of standards of those en-
ployed on public works. violation of
the fundamental premise that a man
be paid for work done and establish.
ment of precedent injurious to other
workers"
Part Of Job Program.
The public works, on which these
dismissed architects and engineers
are employed, declared the resolu-
tion ''iS part of a program for the
stimulation of employment. and archi-
tects and engineers, of whom 80 per
pent are unemployed, are in dire
need of and entitled to the benefits
of such programs"
In addition to demanding immedi-
ate reinstatement of those slated to
go Tuesday, the resolution asks that
provision be made for the compen-
sation Of overtime. pointing out that
precedent has been established in the
War Departments building program
OF 1888; that the hastened curtail-
ment of employment due to speed-up
practices be stopped Immediately:
that an enlarged staff be employed
sufficient for completing projects on
the basis of the 30-40 hour week:
that funds be made available to pro-
vide for the continuation of approved
projects; and that the program of
public works be enlarged so that the
benefits of long-term employment
shall result for both those employed
and society at large"
