Apartment Tenants Lose
Plea for Rent Reduction

The District Rent Control Com
mission yesterday dismissed. a petit
ton brought by II tenants of the
Winchester Summit Apartments
$500 Adams Mill road NV, for q
IS per cent reduction in rents.
Rent Examiner James G. Tyson
refused the request on the ground
the plaintiffs failed to establish
peculiar circumstances warranting
the setting aside OF rent ceilings
established this March.
The protesting occupants had
charged that Maurice Shapiro, own
er, violated an agreement with The
War Production Board, which
granted building materials pricrities
on the baeis of proposed rentals less
than those now charged.
The building subsequently was
converted to use by the French gov
eminent, however, and Mr.. Shapiro
contended that the cost of recon-
version and added maintenance
costs since the 194l WPB agreement
made existing rentals equitable
and fair
The majority of protests hinged
on the current 1880 . month
rental for one-bedroom apartments

Arlington County See
For Episcopal Bishop
Asked by Committee

The establishment of a See In
Arlington County for the presiding
bishop of the Episcopal Church will
be recommend by committee at
the general convention of the church
of September 10 to 20 in Philadel-
phla, it was announced today. Chair
man of the committee is the Right
Rev. Paul Matthews, former bishop
OF New Jersey. The Rev. Clyde
Brown, missioner for the Diocese OF
Washington, is committee secretary
The committee, appointed at the
last general convention in 1913, noted
in its report that the presiding
bishop has no jurisdictional au-
thority. He is required when elected
ITO relinquish the administration OF
his diocese sufficiently to enable him
fully to perform his duties as presid-
ing bishop" In order to perform
certain of his Episcopal Offices, the
committee said, the presiding bishop
can do SO only by courtesy of some
other bishop or of some parish
priest"
| We feel very strongly" the re-
port states, that the General Con-
vention will not wish to perpetuate
situation which is not consonant
with the dignity of the Office of the
presiding bishop"
The committee pointed out that
the selection of Arlington County
as See is desirable because its
size Is commensurate with the dig
nifty of the Office; it is near the
church's national headquarters in
New York and is also adjacent to
the Nations capital and to the
Washington Cathedral.
The Diocese of Virginia, at its
last convention, agreed to cede Ar
Ilington County to the national
church for the establishment of a
See if asked to do SO by the Gen
eral Convention.
The presiding bishop now has a
special seat in the Washington
Cathedral with the privilege of per-
forming his ecclesiastical functions
there. This does not. however, con-
fer any canonical jurisdiction. The
Right Rev. Henry st. George Tucker
is the present presiding bishop.
