Doctor Says Head Hit

BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

John Duval Dodge received his
mortal skull fracture from contact

hurried object OF 4 police club, Or.
Plinn F. Morse, Harper Hospital
pathologist, told coroner's jury
today.
In the opinion OF the physician,
who conducted the autopsy and
who was introduced as an expert
medical witness, Dodge could have
been wounded only during his
drunken gyrations at the residence
of Howard z. LANCE or by being
thrown to the floor at the Nc
Clellsn avenue police station
where Dodge was taken after his
arrest.

MORE LOGICAL ANGLE
Morse said ii was more logical
to believe Dodge was fatally hurt

He explained the fracture could
have been accounted for by Dodge
banging his head against the win
dow sill or by being knocked TO

Rent Control

DENT CONTROL is one Of the measures which the Gov
N eminent has nauguraed to prevent the sky-rocke
ing Of rents the hcky populated of the country
where defense and ether materials are being
manufactured. The order went into effect on June l.
Under the Rent Control provisions rents in the areas
designated have been frozen the level rents prevail
iEg on April l. l94l Tenants who paying high
er rentals than they paid for the dwellings apart
ments on April Of last year. authorized under the
new law 70 reduce their payment to the basic level except
in such where the landlords have made substantial
Improvements on the property during the intervening
period.
The rent control restrictions however, do not extend
at hotels and roomng houses Regulation of rentals for
such properties will be inaugurated on July /.
If tenant fails pay his rent if he the premises
for illegal purposes, he needless damage the
property the landlord given authority evict him. He
may also be evicted if the landlord wishes to occupy the
property himself he sells to another person who
sres to occupy It. Otherwise, tenant cannot be evcted
without governmental sanction.
During the boom days Of the previous war when mi
grants were pouring into Detroit and housing facilities
at premium many landlords took advantage of the
emergency and boosted rents at frequent intervals
unreasonable heights The present Rent Control measure
was established to prevent this kind Of abuse.
The freezing of rents will prove blessing to tenants
but only fair that taxes properties occupied
tenants should also be frozen in justice the landlords
If rents remain stationary while real taxes continue
TO increase may eventually fail to receive any
