Roomers, D. {. Holds
Effort to Conform
With Fire Regulations
Confronts Difficulties

Operators of rooming houses who
wish to evlct roomerS in order to
reduce the number above the first
floor to nine, in compliance with fire
regulations. will have to go to civil
branch of Municipal Court if the
roomers are unwilling to move. AS
sistant Corporation Counsel E. w.
Thomas said today.
From District Rent Administrator
Robert F. CogsWell came word that
his Office could not protect tenants
from eviction from buildings found
by District authorities to be in viola
ton of the fire safety or other Dis
trlct regulations and laws.
Mr.. Thomas said that if eviction
suits were unsuccessful, the oper-
ators would still be subject to prose-
cution where they have been denied
operators licenses due to failure to
comply with the fire regulations.
Roomers Enter Objection.
Mr.. Thomas, who is head of the
Municipal Court branch of the cor
poratlon counsel's office, said that so
far no such cases have come to court
since the District Commissioners
issued their crack down order to
prosecute persons who operate room
ing houses without licenses, which
they have been denied for failure to
comply with fire regulations. Copies
OF eviction suits will have to be filed
with the Rent Commission, under
the rent control law.
In one q street rooming house. the
operator resorted to drawing lots to
see which OF IA roomers would
be asked to move, in order to reduce
! the number of roomers above the
nrSt floor to 9. in an effort to comply
with regulations. The roomers,
meanwhile, are reported as being
determined to stay where they are.
! One OF those whose name was drawn
has been rooming at the house for
more than three years, it was ex-
| planned
Priority for Escape.
Roomlng house operators now will
be given prlorlties for fire escapes
and other equipment to enable them
10 comply with the fire regulations,
under arrangements announced Sat-
urday by the District government.
MI. Cogswell made his position
clear today as a result of the dis
pute over the attempt of the roomine
house proprietor to persuade some
OF her roomers to move. He ex-
planned the Emergency Rent Act
DID not have such a purpose, and
that he could not take any steps
to interfere with the enforcement
of the District laws.
A number of persons have called
the rent office, but have been told
the Rent Administrator would in
tervent in such cases. Up to noon
however, there was no record of
any such appeal being maGe regard

RUNWAY ON KIsKA

HEADQUARTERS OF ALASKA
DEFENSE COMMAND. July 90
American aerial reconnaissance in
aicates the Japanese have complet-
led runway and long buildings on
the oft bombed Kiska.
If the Japs bring planes To the
field, it will be the first enemy land
planes in the Aleutians since the
bombing of Dutch Harbor from
carrier bases.
The runway is about $500 feet
long and large enough for American
Lightning fighters and four engined
bombers.
No Jap planes were sighted on
the runway.
The problem of getting planes to
Kiska is made difficult by the AM
orleans holding Attu and also the
sweeping of Japanese surface craft
from the North Pacific and Boring
Sea.
The Japs might possibly fly
planes. from Paramushiro, the jap
anese base in the Kuriles island,
which was raided by the American
filters from the Aleutians, or from
carriers venturing close enough to
get planes off to fly to Kiska.
American planes have dropped
time bombs which have slowed up
work on the runway and compile
ton.
The indications are the Japs will
fight to the end to keep Kiska.

whereby prominent Italo-Americans

the Vatican and those in touch with
Mussolini, possibly Count Ciano:
"a Judge Ferdinand Pecora,

led to the establishment OF the
