"A that old party Of the first

He owes the renter nothing.
About all he has TO guarantee

There is no penalty for him II
the lights go out two or three

elevators get stuck, if the at

windows warp with the first rain
and refuse to open.
Landlords, however. are never
content with the breaks that
lease gives them.
WHAT I would like TO see
w come out of this OPA suit
against the landlords is new
form of lease. a form of lease
in which the renter does not sign
away his life and pride when ne
puts his name TO II.
In other words, a lease that

Nearly all the vegetable mar
kets here are run by laps and
must say many \Of these laps
are overbearing apd arrogant.
AT one of the markets re-
Gently man knocked a Jap
down for saying Ia a woman
customer who complained about
the vegetables he was giving her
that the day was not far Oft
when she and the rest Of the
Americans would take what they
were given from the Japanese
and be made to like it,"
