Tenant Evictions Here
Reach Alarming Rate
OF 70 10 SO Each Dav

Evictions of Washington tenants
from their homes have reached the
alarming" average of from 20 to go
each day, District Rent Control Ad-
ministrator Robert F. Cogswell re-
vealed today.
Eviction notices have been served
on 1923 families since January l, Mr.
Cogswell said, pointing out that only
544 such notices were filed with his
Office during the last six months of
1945.
'The situation has now reached
the point where veterans are evict-
ing other veterans" Mr.. Cogswell
declared, adding that so far little
OF nothing is being done about it.
He said that go eviction notices
were served last Monday alone.
While eviction is entirely legal,
Mr.. Cogswell said, tenants cannot
be put out without court order,
and generally speaking, the courts
have granted occupants some ad-
ditional time to obtain new living
quarters.
But I don't know where those
evicted are going" he observed,
because there just aren't any
housing accommodations to be had
Washington tenants are on tenter-
hooks"
Mr.. Cogswell said evicitions
arising from sale Of property went
up from 81 in January to~134 in
March. Evicitions occasioned be-
cause of landlords making property
alterations jumped from IL to 80,
while those brought about by own
ers returning to their homes rose
| from 153 to 1872

Declared Unqualified Success

The campaign of the District

Government securities ended today
an unqualified success, campaign
leaders announced.
Wilmer j. Waller, chairman of

possible to measure the tangible re-
suits of the publicity campaign inn
mediately with any degree of ac-
curacy. He reported, however, that
savings bonds purchases are up and
redemptions are down and declared
this result was corollary to the pub
licity campaign.
He said indications were the 20
per cent slump in bond redemp-
tions reported for the Nation in
June may be even bettered in the
District.

pose," Mr.. Waller said, which was

Byrd, Smith Assai|ed
ByBuckingham Group
For |naction on 0PA

Support of strong price control
bill last night was voted by approx
mately $50 residents Of the Buck
ingham area in Arlington County
following severe censure of Senator
Byrd and Representative Smith,
Democrats, of Virginia for what was
assailed as their lack of interest in
supporting the peoples welfare
through eliminating spiraling costs.
The group, at a mass meeting in
the Bethel Evangelical and Re-
formed Church, constituted itself a
consumers committee and adopted
a motion to recommend to Senators
Byrd and Burch and Representative
Smith that they take constructive
action toward enacting good OPA
legislation to be effective for at least
year.
Representative Charles r. Savage,
Democrat. of Washington State told
the group that Congress hasn't ex-
actly kept faith with the people" in
its price control legislation.
Rent Law Called Subterfuge.
A separate rent control resolution,
he said, would be only "subterfuge"
because one such isolated item amid
rising prices would inevitably break
out of control.
Mr.. Savage urged Virginia resi-
dents to write the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee, their rep
resentatives in Congress and Gov
Tuck, because he charged Congress
men cater to special interests and
will ignore the public just as long
as they can get away with it.
There's an election coming up in
November, and it's up to us to make
it kind of hot" the legislator said.
CIO Leader Raps Byrd.
Robert Sherman, vice president OF
the Washington Industrial Union
Council tCIO), charged that Sen
ator Byrd is reputed to be the guard
ian of the Federal Treasury, but is
not interested in the taxpayers tax
money.
A resident of Arlington, Mr. Sher-
man also said Senator Byrd and
Representative Smith were not in
Vited to the meeting because We
know they don't speak our Ian
guage"
Thomas Chittenden was elected
chairman of the groups Steering
Committee. Other members elected
are Mrs. Irving Hoddes, Mrs. Stan
