tered to date have petitioned for
rent raises over those charged in
1913.
"Of that so per cent he said,
"half have no grounds for petition
ing"
FACTORS INVOLVED
He explained that six factors con-
Stitutc cause fl" rental increases:
|. Maior capital improvements,
i.e.. building a new room, or adding
to construction.
2. Increased services, i.e., chang
ing frCm an unfinished to fur
nished apartment; installation of a
mechanical icebOX or cooler
3. Increase in occupancy, provided
stipula tiOns for an original tenant
number prev viously have been
agreed upon by both landlord and
tenant.
4. Personal or blood relationship.
i.e.. if 9ember of the landlords
family has been occupying the resi-
dence to be rented later by a non-
family member, grounds exist for a
legitimate rental raise.
5. Lease rentals determine rents,
i.e., if lease was in effect during
The March, 1913, period. rent ac-
cordinGlv will be levied at that rate.
6. If the lease was in effect dur
ing dormant rental period, an in
vestigation will be made to deter
mine whether or not a rental ad-
iustment should be made in fairness
to the landlord.
Asked if any tenants had COM
planned of rent increases, Edmunds
said that such information Is con-
sidered strictly confidential.

HAD WRONG ADVICE

The first impression of hostility
seems to have been the result of
Nazi propaganda that civilians
would be roughly hanCled and even
shot. Now the Americans have given
the lie to the propaganda.
The Americans have famed out
for many miles on either side of
Rot2en which I first entered with
heading tanks. Despite last minute
fear propaganda by the fleeing Naz-
is, the bulk of the several hundred
population remained behind. When
saw Rotgen again today the in
habitants were circulating freely
in the streets, disinterested in the
war going on around them.
I talked to some of them in front
of the Rotgen school house where
German prisoners of war were be-
ing herded by American soldiers.
LIKE BEING PRISONERS

of Americans making prisoners of
Germans.
TITS all right" he said. I'VE know
they will be we'll treated. It's an
other good sign the war is coming
to an end.
I'm glad the Americans have
come. Now that the Gestapo has
gone, we fear no one. We are free.
You Americans have moi taken
away our food and you have res
pected our homes. We had been told
some of us would be shot. We hav-
en't been. We are glad you are here

NEW YORK, June II. UP)-
The New York Yankees, almost
afraid to venture forth in daylight
these days for fear that they will
suffer another loss, today welcomed
the arrival of four night games
with the Washington Senators.
Champions of the world, and
once so powerful that the American
league was jestingly called the
Yankee league" the New Workers,
whose night record last season was
the best in the circuit, reasoned
that they couldn't do much worse
than they have done since they left
Yankee Stadium on May 21st. Since
that time the Yanks have played
II games and have won five while
losing IL. Insult was added to con-
siderable injury Sunday as the
champions dropped their fifth
straight game-their 18th in the
last 13-and slipped from second
to a tie for fourth place with the
Chicago White SoX.

PRESS HEADQUARTERS, Italy,
June II. CUP)-Four former foot

Best known member of the quar-

his football career, is special in

an all-Southern at Alabama, and

lege Working with them is August
McCabe, who used to do a bit of
footballing for Columbia back in
1916.
They decreased the Naples traf-

and started a criminal inVeStiga-
ton section that played havoc with
counterfeit rings and black market

+ fective that black market flour,
which once sold for $1,000 a truck
load, has risen to over $4,000, which
means that thefts of American
supplies has been made a risky
/ business.
"Savoldi makes every bit as good
a detective as he did a football
player" Mikulak said. He had
never cone any police work before
going to Africa in June of last
year yet he has cracked some of
our toughest black market cases" "
Joe said it has taught him several

have much free time I'm teaching
them judo and hope we can get
wrestling organized as part of their

wrestling but I'd rather keep them
for pleasure and make my living
at something else. That's why I'm
thinking of following police work
after the war"
