to have the rents of March l, 1912.

65-PAGE PROTEST

Their attorney, John w. Langs,
sent to Henderson a 65-page pro-
test, accompanied by 100 pounds
of survey reports and other ex-
hibitS. There was no attempt TO
attack constitutionality OF rent
fixing.
If the OPA director refuses to
change his original order for De-
|-roit, the landlords announced they
will proceed to the United States
emergency court of appeals.
Langs contended that Detroit
rents had not been affected by the
war prosperity on April /. 1941,
the date chosen by Henderson as
a ceiling. He argued that, on the
contrary, rents were low because
'of anticipated unemployment due
to the change-over of the automo-
bile industry.
CITE GREAT DISPARITY
"The disparity between the
date on which maximum rents
are fixed, and the date upon
which prices generally are fixed.
is so great as to result I'm an
unfair and inequitable hardship
upon persons dependent upon
rents. and to impair unduly their
standard of living" the protest
asserted.

March l, 1912, rents are the maxi
mum in Chicago, Buffalo, Toledo
and other cities.
