Owners Lose in Suit
To Evict Tenants Of
House Both 0ccupy
Judge Rules Bethesda
Landlord Failed to
Show Good Foith

An eviction suit brought by Mr.
| and Mrs. Edward Gessner, owners
OF six-room house at 4805 Over
brook road, Bethesda, against Mr.
| and Mrs. George Bokat. who occupy
the first and second floors of the
home. today was decided in favor
/ of the tenants by Trial Magistrate
Albert E, Brault in Bethesda Police
Court. The owners occupy an
apartment in the basement.
In written decision. Judge
Brault ruled the plaintiffs had
failed to show they seek in good
faith to recover the premises for
their immediate and personal use
as a dwelling. as provided in the
Office of Price Administration reg
ulationS"
John R. Reeves and Clarence
Keiser. attorneys for the Gessners,
said they would appeal the case to
Montgomery County Circuit Court,
in Rockville Mr.. Gessner said he
intends to look for other housing
accommodations, since his wife's
tinue living in the basement.
Rent Boost Cited.t
Hearings on the case began No
vember 20 and were continued to
last Friday, after which. Judge
Brault said, he would postpone de-
cision until he had time to sleep
over the facts.
Mr.. Bokat, associate chief trial eX-
aminer of the National Labor Re-
lations Board, had claimed the
action was brought because he had
refused to pay sos a month for
the house instead of the s85 rental
stipulated in the lease, which ex-
pired in August.
He charged the Gessners were not
acting in good faith in attempting
to evict him and to occupy the
premises themselves.
Mr.. Gessner, however. said he
had granted Mr.. Bokat a 60-day ex-
tension after the lease had expired
and that Mr.. Bokat had promised
to leave If he could obtain other
quarters.
Sought to Force Issue.
He said his health, as we'll as
that of his wife, is suffering from
living in the basement and that he
had already purchased furniture for
the first and second floors of their
home.
The only reason the increased
rental had been proposed, he testi-
fled, was because he didn't like tn
ask the tenant to leave and de-
clded to force the issue by raising
the rent.
: Neither the Bokats nor Judee
brault were in the courtroom TODAY
The decision was read bv Mr.
reeves, who had received it from
Judge Brault.

Alexandria Red Cross
Seeks List Of Nurses

In an attempt to list every regis
tered nurse in Alexandria who will
be available for duty in the event of
a disaster, the Alexandria Red Gross
has asked all nurses to send their
names to Miss Clara Louise Talbot
director of the nursing registry at
Ala Prince street.
Francis Fannon, chairman of the
Red Cross Disaster Relief Commit
tee, has emphasized that MANY grad
uate nurses who are not working
would still be able to 60 on tempo
rary duty if the need should arise
and having list of these women
readily available will be of great
nelp to the committee.
Because of the great shortage ot
nurses for hospital duty, Miss Tai
oott said she is hopeful that some of
the registered nurses in and around
the city will offer their services for a
limited amount of hospital duty
through the registry.

Certification Of Maryland
County Officials Postponed
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS. Dec 1.-Certifca-
tion of number of county officials
elected at the November election
today was postponed probably until
early next week.
Secretary of State Thomas Elmo
Jones said commissions to the new
officials would not be certified before
Thursday. when the State Board
of Convassers is scheduled to meet
here.
Mr.. Jones said the delay was oc-
cssioned by the fact that counting
of absentee ballots cast by men in
the armed forces delayed the COM
pletion of the official count.
The law requires that elected Of
flcials be certified within 80 DAYS
of the election and Thursday is the
30th day.
The secretary of state added that
presumably present officials, whose
commissions expired at midnight
last night, would continue in office
until the new officials could be certi-
fed.

Early Action Foreseen
On Overtime Pay
Bill Compromise
Romspeck at Work on
General 20oo Boost
And 43-Hour Week

Prospect for early congressional
/ action on some compromise form of
wartime pay adjustment for Gov
sidetracked general overtime bill,
was brighter today following the
statement of Majority Leader Bark
ley to the Senate late yesterday.
Senator Barkley said he hoped the
Civil Service Committee would be
able to work out within few days
a temporary resolution continuing
until next July the overtime laws
that expired yesterday. affecting
certain groups of civilians in the
Army and Navy. together with some
arrangement to compensate other
Federal workers not eligible for
overtime pay.
On the House side, however
Chairman Ramspeck Of the Civil
Service Committee was working on
a somewhat different solution, which
would steer the measure clear of the
controversial issue of time and a
half for overtime.
Would Raise Pay, Hours.
Under this solution the overtime
laws that expired yesterday would
I not be revived, but nearly all Fed
eral workers receiving 1000 or less
a year would receive a straight 20
/ per cent pay increase. At the same
! time the Saturday half-hollday law
| would be suspended making pos
sible a 48-hour week during the
emergency, with the pay increase.
| Senator Mead, Democrat, OF New
York indicated on Saturday he
favored a temporary continuing res
olution to extend the existing over
time laws, and to give Is per cent
/ cost-of living increase to all those
not covered by overtime laws while
the new Congress studies the whole
subject of overtime pay this winter
1t is understood. however, that
members of the House and Senate
| interested in the legislation con-
| ferred over the week end on the al
| tentative proposal of straight in
crease with 48-hour week during
| the emergency.

Taft Raises Question.
In the Senate yesterday Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio inquired
if the original overtime pay bill for
Government workers would be
brought up in the remaining days of
this Congress.
Senator Barkley said that bill
would not be taken up. but that the
Civil Service Committee is attempt
ing to draw up a resolution to au-
thorize the temporary adjustments
mentioned
Later Senator LANCER, Republican,
of North Dakota declared there are
several hundred thousand employees
who are not getting overtime pay
now" and inquired what action may
be taken. Senator Barkley replied:
Yes. I realize that. I think So
per cent of the employees are getting
overtime pay and about 42 per cent
are not
The majority leader also stressed
the need of having the two houses
agree on the form of temporary
legislation, pointing out that other
wise action by one branch alone
would accomplish nothing in the
closing weeks of the Congress.

Thousands Nearby Lack
Car-Inspection Stickers

Thousands of motorists in nearby
Virginia today were still without in
spection stickers on their cars as
the deadline ended at midnight last
night.
While the original inspection
period, which ended November l,
had been extended month, lack
of skilled mechanics and a shortage
of replacement parts made 1t vir-
tually impossible to inspect all mo-
tor vehicles in the State before the
deadline.
Some car owners in nearby areas
waited in line as long as five hours
before their cars could be checked
by overburdened inspectors. In
Alexandria the number of inspec-
ton stations was reduced from 18
a year ago to six this year because
many garages lacked mechanics.
Meanwhile, State Supt. Of Police
c. w Woodson, jr.. warned that
State troopers have been instructed
to bring into court all motorists
found driving without the inspection
stickers required by law.
