RENTER SAYS LANDLORDS
SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN

Editor The Times: ] notice in
the most recent blast of the
property owners on the rent
freezing law a few things that
should be commented on. They
tell us a great injustice has been
done to those who have invested
In rental properties. 1t seems to
me that they must have put
their money In property because
they thought at that time that
IL was good investment. Well,
rents are no lower now than they
were then and Is most cases
higher and as for the cry that
operating costs have raised sure
" they can't think we are all
dumb. Haven't fuel prices tthe
main operating cost been frozen
the same as rents Are not
water and lights flowing in at
the same price, And as for the
cry Of higher taxes. don't they
still have THEIR to-mill tax
limit Law?
The charge is made that in
one meeting in Seattle of land
lords and tenants the only OBJ
lection to the landlords plea
for a bigger slice came from
the communistic element. What
a convenient but overworked
term. II really does not stick
any more.
No. Mr.. Landlord. times have
changed. We are not paying
SIG for a pair OF shoes or 81
cents pound for sugar or IS
for = sack of flour nor $40 for
one little attic room and we
have great hopes the number OF
millionaires made during this
war at the expense OF the work
err will be very small in conf
parison to the last war,

Cuts in F. 5. A. Spending
BY the Associated Press.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt last
night assailed the economy bloc
seeking to slash appropriations for

agency in helping the low-income

| foods.
Declaring the F. S. A. was another
one of the Government agencies that
some of our economy minded people
would cut down." the Presidents
wife said in her weekly sponsored
broadcast:
Many of these people, strange
to say, were economy minded in the
days gone by on preparation for
our defense and have only become
aware of the fact that we need war
materials in the last few months
That kind of economy has been
proved short-sighted to say the
least, and the economy they now
advocate will prove to be vastly
wasteful in the future.
THE greatest increase in food
production" she added, can be
made by our group of low-income
farmers. These farmers, who have
lacked the capital and often the
knowledge to make efficient use Of
their own labor and farm resources,
represent a great reservoir of un-
tapped production and manpower. "

Estate Beneficiary
Wins Appeal in
Cameron Will Case
Undue Influence
Decision Reversed in
Divided Decision

The Court Of Appeals today re-
versed and sent back to District
Court for further action a $4,000
will case involving the estate of
Mrs. Nellie E. Cameron, 76-year-
old widow, which has been in itiga-
ton three years.
A District Court jury found that
the will was obtained by undue
influence. but majority of the ap-
pellate tribunal held that no such
improper conduct existed on the
part of Donald A. Macmillan, grand
nephew of Mrs. Cameron's late
husband.
A beneficiary under previous wills,
Mrs. Dorothy K. Knost of Ports
mouth. Ohio. niece of the testatrix,
contested the will in District Court,
claiming Mr.. Macmillan exercised
undue influence on Mrs. Cameron.

Counsel for Mrs. Knost contended
that Mr.. Macmillan carried on a
