the maximum, whichever amount is
larger.
@. Does the act protect the tenant
against eviction?
A. Yes. 1t is unlawful for any per-
son to remove tenant or refuse
to renew a lease because the tenant
has taken or proposes to take action
under the rent-control regulations
Right of Inspection.
@. What power does the Govern
ment have to check up on rents and
service?
A. The price administrator has
the right to inspect any housing
accommodation, to require any one
who rents or offers housing accom-
modations for rent to keep records
which shall be open to the inspec-
ton of the administrator, to make
reports and to furnish information
under oath.
@. Is rent control something new?
A. No. In the last war a number
OF States set up rent control of
various kinds, but the last war did
not produce the acute dislocation
in housing that we have already
seen in this war. England has had
limited national control over rents
ever since the last war and sharp
controls since the outbreak of the
present war.

1ydings Demands Slash
In Non-War Spending

BALTIMORE, May 4-Senator
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland,
in his weekly broadcast yesterday
said there was disappointment in
Congress and the country" because
President Roosevelt did not stress
in his recent fireSide chat the neceS-
sity for trimming all Government
spending not connected with the war
effort.
The President did admonish the
people to save" Senator Tydings
said, but he did not ask Congress
to cut down the expenses of the
Government"
Senator Tydings mentioned that
Mr.. Roosevelt had urged purchase
of war bonds and stamps with
money not needed for necessities,
adding:
1T seems to me that every dime
and dollar which the Federal Gov
eminent can take from some nom
essential Government activity for
use in some war activity of the
Government would likewise add to
the striking power of our armed
forces, make the tax burden of our
people lighter, and insure the f1nan-
cial stability of our Government at

off the service supplied by the town
unless payment of the bill was
forthcoming.
Mr.. Hancock said today that he
based his action on an opinion by
Joseph A. Cantrel, attorney to the

Mr.. Cantrel declared that 1T would
not be proper" for the county to
pay such a bill.
