NO REPRISALS BYLANDLORDS
Threat of Eviction to Ten- ants Not OfaciaIIy
 Known Here

Local officials today said they had no knowledge of eviction pro- ceedings brought by landlords against tenants who have brought complaints or threatened to bring tlena to the attention of the Fair Rent Committee, as claimed at Washington by Price Administrator Leon Henderson, Prank ]. Green, secretary of the Fair Rent com fnittee, said no complaints of evic- ton proceedings started because tenants brought rent increases bee fore the body had been received. Clerk Carmine Cipriano of the city court said that the number. of evic- ton proceedings here in recent months has been no greater than usual.
 However, MT. Henderson also rec ferred to cases of landlords who, he said, "threaten" their tenants with eviction to keep them from filing complaints with Fair Rent groups.
 MT. Henderson cited Waterbury as one of four cities where conl- plaintS Of evictionS or eviction threats had been made. The other cities are Wilmington, N. O., Can- ton, Ohio, and Portsmouth, We.
 "The type of landlord who seeks to avoid an impartial investiga- ton of his reasons for raising rents In a time of national emergency by the device of threatening his tenants Is unscrupulous." ze a5. serted that the threat of eviction is e terrible one," especially to fam flies with children.
 The price administrator hinted that sheriffs asked to serve eviction papers first see if the tenant had complained to the Fair Rent conn naittee. He also hinted that 1t might prove effective to pass orders de- laying evictions until Fair Rent committeese have investigated.
 MT. Green said that the Fair Rent committee has taken up a number of cases but none involved charges by tenants that eviction proceedings had been instituted bo. cause they complained.
