Tenants League Says
Rent Witnesses Fear
Landlords Reprisa|s
Cites Cose of Grocer Who
Is Quitting Business, in
Statement to Murroy

The Commercial Tenants Protec-
tive League disclosed today that it
was meeting with considerable diffi-
Guilty" in getting tenants to agree to
testify at the Senate Small Business
Committee hearings next month on
reported rent-gouging here because
OF fear of reprisals" from landlords.
Richard A. Harman, general coun-
sci, informed Chairman Murray that
the league would do everything pos
sible to have witnesses before the
committee to SHOW the true pic
ture" of the commercial rent situa-
ton. The league previously has
warned that many small business
men here were faced with failure
because of demands for higher
rentals.
Mr.. Harman told Of receiving a
report from the attorney of a gro
cery store operator who was being
forced to pay an additional $50 a
month for rent. As a result, the
grocer is planning to sell his busi-
ness, Mr.. Harmon was informed
However, when the league ofilcial
checked personally with the grocer
the latter insisted there was some
error.
I'VE returned to the lawyer and
suggested that he had been in
error" Mr.. Harman said. Where
upon he proceeded to convince us
that the grocer refused to give the
facts because, he feels that If he
squeals the landlord will refuse to
consent to any assignment of the
lease, with disastrous consequences
to the grocer.
Needless to say I doubt very
much If any assurances against re-
prisal would produce the grocer as
Witness" Mr.. Harman added.
The league has appealed to ten
ants whose rents have been in
creased unreasonably in the last 18
months to appear as witnesses and
tell their story. The committee has
set no date for reopening Of the
hearings, other than to promise re-
sumption some time in August.
Chairman Randolph Of the House
District Committee has promised a
separate investigation into the sit
uation here and plans hearings
some time in September.

In 1919 Group
Need for l94, 900 by
Navy Nay Result
In Tighter Policy
By MIRIAM NUREMBERG.


The Navy's statement that $4,000
more men will be needed by the end
of this year probably will mean a
tighter deferment policy for men
In the 26-29 age group as the pool
OF younger men dwindles, a national
selective service spokesman said to-
day.
Selective service has not yet been
informed, it was understood, wheth-
er the $4,000 total includes Navy
figures. II it does not,
it would raise considerably the num-
Der OF men selective service will
have to earmark for the Navy.
The spokesman pointed out that
III the Navy's new demands are
spread over long enough period, a
substantial part of the calls can be
met by men becoming 49, Although
between 10000 and 10000 physically
fit youth come of draft age each
month and theoretically are avail
able for selective service, the Navy,
however, already has tapped this
pool, recruiting between $4,000 and
20, 900 Of this group each month
before they reach their 18th birth
day.
Calls Are Shifted.
Admitting that some localities,
probably including the District, will
have exhausted their supply of men
under 26 by mid-August, the spokes-
man said calls are being shifted to
pick up the remaining pools Of
younger men wherever they exist.
A District draft spokesman re.
vealed that virtually all men under
30 now available to selective service
here already have been given physi-
cal examinations and the supply Of
those found qualified for service
probably will not last more than
two months, even assuming very
light calls.
The national official said that at
present he did not look for a drastic
change in selective service policy be-
cause of the Nays increased de-
mands, but he said draft boards
ultimately may be advised that If
they do not have enough men under
26 to fill calls. they will have to be
stricter in giving deferments to men
in the $3.50 age group.
He said he doubted if the ex-
tremely strict deferment system ap-
piled to men under Is. under which
an interagency deferment commit
tee has been screening war plant
deferment requests, would be ex-
tended to the 26-29 group. In other
words, it will be up to the draft
boards to apply a stricter yardstick
to the men in the 26-29 age bracket.
Estimates Exceed Demands.
Estimates of Army replacements,
the draft official said, had run sub.
stantially higher than Army de-
mands so far. Selective Service had
been planning to supply 10000 men
a month for armed forces replace
ments but actually has been called
on to supply only half that number
to meet current calls, it was learned.
On the basis of a monthly Ma
ton wide call of 10000 men, the
draft spokesman said, draft boards
in any case would have had to dip
into their pool of men TO the 26-29-
age group.
i AS long as men over 80 are ac-
lively engaged in work useful to the
war and home fronts, it was in
dicated. they are reasonably sure Of
remaining in civilian life despite
the increased Navy calls.
1t was disclosed that a number
of men over 80 now are volunteer
ing, providing an unexpected addi.
tional pool of military manpower.
