Court Rules Landlord 7
May Recover Property

The Municipal Court of Appeals
In decision today ruled that under
the Rent Control Act landlord has
the right to recover possession of his
property from tenant, providing
the landlard acts in good faith to
recover the property for his own
personal use and occupancy.
In reversing lower court deci-
sion, holding that Mrs. Rowena
Shaffer, landlord, had no sufficient
reason to request the room in her
premises at 1928 P street NV.
rented by Mrs. L. B. Bowes, the
appeals court said:
TT is evident the act did not in
tend to prevent an owner from
occupying his own premises pro-
vided such occupancy is sought in
good faith and not for the purpose
of evading or defeating the pur-
pose of the act"
The decision was written by
Chief Judge William E. Richardson
and Judge Nathan Cayton.

Diaper Services Protest
To OPA on Fuel Oil Cut

Thomas j. Skiilman, r., Philadel-
phia, president of the institute, told
the OPA that further curtailment
of the diaper services would ere
ate definite public health hazard"
The diapermen were told to pre-
pare a survey of the situation and
present it to OPA. That agency
will then consult with PAW to de-
termine whether the 40 per cent cut
for diaper services should be modi-
fed.
Diaper services have become i'm
portant, the institute representatives
said, because many mothers are now
doing war work and cannot bother
with some of the more intimate
details of rearing a baby. In other
instances, apartments have cut the
hot water supply and tenants do
not have enough to do their. laun-
dering. 1t also was pointed out
that many hospitals have been
clients OF diaper services and that
these institutions have no facilities
for doing their own laundering.

Avert Loss When Animal

No, the War Production Board
did not mean to suggest to farmers
that, in order TO save wear, they
remove the shoes from their horses
before tucking them in their stalls
at night, An information man for
the WPB was positive in his denial
when the apparent misunderstand-
ing was brought to his attention
today.
Representative Flanagan. Demo-
crat, Of Virginia, according to the
Associated Press. told his colleagues
he presumed there were upper
horseshoes available to carry out
this instruction mailed by the board
in answer to letters warning of a
threatened shortage of horseshoes
Horse owners can, in many cases.
save shoes by removing the shoes
Immediately ALTERS period of neces-
sary road work or other work where
shoes are necessary only during GER
tain periods"
Written by Real Farmer.
-. The prose style of the letter led
Mr.. Flanagan to conclude that its
author was E. r. Gay of the WPB.
vice president of the st. Regis Paper
Co. and son of the late Prof. Edward
Francis Gay of Harvard, who for
time published the New York Post.
But the spokesman for the board
today said the letter was not writ
ten by Mr.. Gay, who is chief of the
Industrial Branch Office of Civilian
Supply, but by one of his subord-
mates, Verne V. Gregg, in charge of
farm machinery, man born on
farm, graduated from Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture, one time man
ager OF 2,700-acre farm and until
recently an employe of the Agricul-
ture Department. Yes, said the
spokesman, there were horses on
that big farm Mr.. Gregg managed.
What Mr., Gregg meant, it was
explained, was that it would be a
good thing for farmers to remove
the shoes from horses at the end
of their annual work period before
turning them out to pasture. Other
wise the horses cast the shoes in
the pasture and when they are re-
covered by little boys they do not 60
into the scrap drive but are hidden
under their pillows or nailed above
barn doors.
Resets" Explained.
What surprised Mr.. Gregg. the
board spokesman said by way of
return shot, was that a rural Con-
gresham like Mr. Flanagan did
not understand this instruction in
the boards letter: More resets to
get more wear out of available
shoes"
Resets" do not mean changing
the shoes from one foot TO another,
1t was explained, but mean resetting
the same shoe on the same foot.
Unless the horse is manicured I'M
der his shoe periodically the hoof
"deteriorates" military term and
the shoe is cast while working.
The whole thing started, it was
SAID at the board. when the board
cut horseshoe production to rs per
cent of the 1904 average. Let
ters, evidently inspired, began to
food the board warning of an i'm
pending shortage in horseshoes and
