u. 5. Court Of Appeals
To Review Dog Fight
Under Rent Act
Case Involves Dochshund
Thot Apartment Owner
Seeks TO Have Ousted

The manner in which the Dis
trict Emergency Rent Act allegedly
protects the right of apartment
house tenants to possess dogs will
come up for discussion in the
United States Court of Appeals, it
was learned today when the Dis
trict's appellate tribunal granted
a petition for a review of a Mu-
mcipal Court of Appeals case set
tied in favor of an apartment man
ager last yeAr.
The appeal grows out of dis
pute involving Phillip w. Copelin.
tenant Of the Marlyn Apartments,
Thirty ninth street and Cathedral
avenue NV, and the apartment
manager over possession by Mr..
Copelin of a dog.
Lower Court Verdicts.
Papers on file in the Court of
Appeals state that in a suit to
recover possession of the apart
ment, the management won ver-
diets in Municipal Court and in
the municipal appellate branch.
Samuel L. Samuel, counsel for
Mr.. Copelin, contends that the
freezing" provisions of the Emer-
gency Rent Act provide that for
apartments rented January /, l94l,
the landlord must continue to sup
ply the services to which a ten
ant is entitled on that date. He
contends that it was the policy
OF the apartment management to
accept tenants with dogs on that
date
He argues that the right to DOS
sess a dog is privilege of oc-
cupancy within the definition of
one section of the Rent Act. which
ne says, defines privileges" as
any privilege or facility connected
"ith the use and occupancy of
housing accommodations.
Management's Plea.
James M. Earnest, counsel for
the management, contends there
no merit to the contention that
the alleged privilege to possess a
DOG was frozen by the Rent Act
ana argues that even if such priv
he2e could be said to be a service"
Wlthln the meaning of the act, the
Copelh dog was not brought into
the building until June |. le4l or
alIef the effective date of the act
Mr., Samuel said the dog. a male
"lre-ha!red dachshund about 4
years old and named "Baibu." still
makes his residence at the Marlyn
apartments. pending outcome of
Ii'e L,l9atlon in which he is the
central figure.

The animals and birds at the
National Geological Park are going
to keep right on eating their Gus
tomarv eight tons OF meat month,
even though steaks may become
rarity on civilian tables when meat
rationing starts March 90
From this, don't conclude that
Leo, the lion, and Harold, the har-
pie eagle, have a friend in the
times and deliver bootleg beef at
the Zoos back door.
The explanation is that for a
year, ever since the price of beef
went sky-high, the meat-eating in
mates Of the Washington Zoo have
dined on horse meat steaks And
horse meat is on the OPA'S list
of unrationed items.
Polnt-rationing of canned goods,
too, while it may have created
problems for grocerS, housewives
and reStaurateurS, has failed to
cause groWl at the Zoo. Con-
densed milk is the only canned
food on the regular menu for the

there has been talk of rationing

Fleming Denies D. {.
100000 10 Operate
Recreation Centers
lonhom Act Funds Were
Not Intended for Civilian
Facilities, He Declares

The District S request for approx
mately s400 900 of Lanham Act funds
for 18 recreation centers has been
refused by Federal Works Adminis-
traitor Philip B. Fleming, it was
learned today.
Gen. Fleming said the request for
100000 was only starter" since
the funds would allow for renova-
ton, renting and operation only
from April l through June 30, l943.
The District did not propose to
share any of the cost of the recrea-
ton centers. asking F'WA to make a
100 per cent grant.
Gen. Fleming said FWA is fol-
lowing its policy of using Lanham
Act funds for recrea ton facilities
only where they are for the use
OF members of the armed forces"
Commencing the efforts of groups
in Washington to provide recrea-
ton for war workers here, Gen.
Fleming said:
I believe it was not the intent of
Congress that Lanham Act funds
should be used to promote and
maintain large-scale recreational
facilities for employees of the Fed
eral Government in the City of
Washington, or generally for civil
lans anywhere"
Two of the three projects sub
mltted by the District for Lanham
Act funds proposed expenditures Of
S290000 for acquisition by rental.
lease. condemnation or by donation
OF 18 buildings. and their repairs and
renovations. The third proposed an
expenditure of s83,568 for main
tenance and operation from April
through June 30.
Gen. Fleming said that if FWA
had approved the District recreation
centers it would Invite many other
communities perhaps no less de-
serving to apply for Federal aid, and
perhaps even 100 per cent grants.
This would impose a far
greater burden upon the Federal
Treasury than was ever contem-
plated when the Lanham Act was
written into law"

The struggle of St Patrick to con-
vert Ireland to Catholicism was
compared in the sermon by the Rev.
John Russell Of Baltimore to the
struggle OF the American boy fight
ing in Africa or Australia.
Like the boys at Bataan or
Guadalcanal,' he said, st. Patrick
found himself alone with God. In
separation from those they love and
in loneliness the boys draw closer
to God
Father Russell declared that if
st. Patrick came to the United
States Of l943 he would find pagan
ism just as he found in Ireland in
400 A. d.
You will not deserve victory and
peace, Father Russell declared the
saint would say TO Americans of
today unless YOU live like children
OF God, Do penance for your sins
change your ways and make peace
with God Father Russell main

DETROIT-(FP)-How to tlght
race rioters, but not how to pre-

rector ]. Edgar Hoover of the
FBI before the init. Assn. OF
Chiefs of Police here Aug. 9. Hls
emphasis on vigorous action was
interpreted as slap as the De-
troit police department for Its
failure to stop the recent anti
Negro attacks.
"When these outbreaks occur
pitting race against race, creed
against creed" he said, every
officer must realize that the only
intelligent course of action Is to
adopt vigorous prompt and firm
measures to restore peace.
"If force must be met with
force, see to it that the protectors
of law and order marshall in sup
erior without delay and that they
function for the good of all, with
proper regard for the rights of
ALL"
Every victory for intolerance,
he continued, is a menace to dem
ocracy for the rest of US. He
warned that race riots and insidi-
Gus campaigns against minority
groups is a problem which is
reaching ''flood-tid proportions" F"
