Newell Named Chuirmon
Of Special Committee to
Deal With Problem

Inactivity in certain community
groups where civic problems are
mounting because of the absence OF
concerted action brought the ap.
pointment today of special Mem.
bership Maintenance Committee by
Harry S. Wender, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
Clifford H. Newell, Federation del
egate from the Arkansas Avenue
Community Association, was named
chairman of the group. which in
cludes Henry w. Austin, M. Douglas
Clark, R. w. Donnelly, T. Paul
Mudd, F. S. Sanford, James T. Scott
and Lester H. Steinem.
Mr.. Steinem also was appointed tc
serve on the District Committee on
Services to Veterans and War Work
ers. The Federation will be asked
to confirm his appointment when il
meets again in October. Mr.. Wen
der said Mr.. Steinem's wide expert
ence in veterans affairs and Amer
lean Legion work qualified him for
the place.
Mr.. Wender emphasized that the
naming of Membership Mainte-
nance Committee does not signalize
the beginning of membership cam
palgn. Its aim will be to revitalize
those groups where activities have
slowed down or ceased altogether.
He said the committee would offer
whatever assistance it could to these
associations, suggesting ideas that
have proved successful in other
neighborhoods and co-operatine
with whatever plans.the groups and
their leaders have in mind.
One association. he said, had not
met in the last year and was not
represented at Federation meetings.
In another case where problems
have arisen citizens have called on
him for assistance, Mr.. Wender said
but that rusty association machinery
has retarded efforts to give prompt
consideration to the matters.
All members appointed to the new
committee have been active in civic

Police Sweep Up Glass Try to Dodge 1t
BY JOE BRENNAN.

Police scout cars were today
ordered-again-to sweep broken
glass from the streets and were pro-
vided with brooms to do the job.
AL kinds of glass, the order from
Inspector Harvey G. Callahan stat
ed, including broken headlights or
broken bottles.
Crews of police cars took the
orders without comment-that is,
any comment suitable for publica-
ton.
But when 1t came to getting a
demonstration of a policeman dou-
bling for a street cleaner-ah!
Maj. Edward j. Kelly, who author
lied today's order issued by In
spector Callahan, consented to have
scout car from No. precinct stop
by The Star Office and demonstrate.
Policemen S. r. Smith and H. F..
Mowry arrived as scheduled looking
very unhappy about the whole thing.
A Star reporter and photographer
were on hand to greet them and
witness the demonstration.
But both policemen were coy. Mr..
Smith said, you do it," and Mr..
Mowry said, mo. have a wife and
kids. You do it,"
This went on for 20 minutes. Then
Mr.. Mowry got what he thought was
a swell idea.
Let's call the Accident Investiga-
ton Unit car and get them to do
it," he said in the way you have
when you feel you've thought up
good one.
While The Star reporter stood
impatiently by clutching two bottles
tempty) mooched from a nearby
tavern, just itching to break them
so the policemen would have some
thing to sweep up, Policeman Mowry
burned up the police radio with calls
for the AIU car.
Policemen F. L. Buckler and L. B.
Sims eventually arrived in the Ac-
cident Investigation Unit car.
You're supposed to do this"
Policeman Smith told Policeman
Buckler
"Oh. yeah?' snapped Policeman
Buckler Not me, brother"
Then followed a series of radio
calls to headquarters anent who
was to do the sweeping.
The Accident Investigation Unit
crew settled everything by just driv-
ing off,
At this point your reporter took
the bull by the horns and Just
cracked the two bottles together,
creating pile of broken glass.
This was real. Here was broken
glass and the orders said policemen
should sweep UP same wherever
found.
Who swept it up?
Well, Policeman Mowry was the
senior officer and in charge of the
No. police car SO there was only
one person left. That's right-Po-
liceman Smith.
He did the. job, and very neatly,
too.
Both drove away and The Star re-
porter and photographer sincerely
hope they never encounter either
policeman when next they drive
through a red light or violate any
of the Districts reoulations

Small Businessmen
Appeal 10 Senate Unit
On Store Rents Here
Attorneys Claim Boosts
Of $50 Pct. Have Been
Demanded in Some Cases

The operators of a group OF stores
in the 100 block Of Fourteenth street
NV, spearheading a campaign
against alleged rent gouging among
Washington's small businesses, to-
day appealed through counsel to the
Senate Small Business Committee
for help in alleviating a situation
they claim will result in a wave of
bankruptcy after the war;
Attorneys Charles Walker and
Alvin L. Newmyer submitted to the
committee letter claiming that rent
increases as high as $50 per cent
have been demanded here. The
committee is scheduled to meet this
afternoon to discuss the possibility
OF commercial rent controls through
out the country.
The attorneys informed the COM
mittee they represented several ten
ants occupying stores in the 700
block of Fourteenth street in a
building recently purchased by Gar
field Kass Of the Kass Realty Co.,
Inc. The tenants have been occu-
pying the premises for 10 years or
more. and the approximate rent now
being paid is $500 a store a year,
they said.
Leases Expire in 1914.
ut happens at this time that
practically all the leases will expire
sometime during 1914" the attor-
neys stated. Mr.. Kass has in
formed one of the tenants in par
tlcular that an offer of $25,O 900 per
year for two stores is insufficient
and indicated that he wanted and
would demand $4,000 per year for
each store, which is an increase of
approximately $50 per cent over
current rentals.
The tenants are more than will
ing to agree to increases in rents
to cover increased maintenance
costs and other expenses, and there
is no question in our mind that all
OF them are willing to pay a fair
rental to Mr.. Kass. But you can
readily understand that the rent
being asked is out of all reason"
The attorneys further claimed
that Mr.. Kass is asking the tenants
to sign 10-year leases, which leaves
these tenants in the position of sign
ing long-term leases which in our
opinion will cause a wave of bank
ruptcy"
Mr.. Kass could not be reached for
comment. His office said he was
attending a meeting OF the WASH
ington Real Estate Board and would
issue a statement later.
Concerns affected include the Uni
versity Shop, Lotus Restaurant,
Crescent Cafe, Vans Mems Shop,
Bell Clothes and Wormser Hats.
Predicts City-Wide Revolt.
Meanwhile, Richard A. Herman,
general counsel for the Commercial
Tenants Protective League, pre-
dicted city-wide commercial rent
revolt" as result of speculators'
attempts to "gouge tenants for all
they can stand" He declared that
hundreds of small businesses are
being pushed out of business as they
find rentals mounting.
The league was formed four and
half months ago with the ex-
pressed purpose of protecting COM
mercial houses from high rents, Mr..
Harman said. The District Rent
Control Act does not apply to COM
mercial rents.
The Senate committee headed by
Chairman Murray was to hear testi-
mony from Richard H. Field, general
counsel of the Once of Price Ad-
ministration. and q number Of
private individuals from out Of town.
