Residents Urged
TO Share Rooms
With Veterans

Ur&O2 nome owners IN t0e
Kennewicl Rental Area to help re-
1ieve the acute housing shortage
by sharing their homes with vet
erens and their families, T. T.
Grant, Area Rent Director, said
that the Office Of Price Admins
tration is assisting the program In
every way possible.
Few residents Of the Kenne-
wick Rental Area realize the Diff
ficulties which veterans are en-
countering in attempting to find
a suitable place to live or more
homes would be opened up to vet
Grams and their families" Mr..
Grant said.
"False reports have been cir
culated about OPA regulations
discouraging families from rent
ing out spare rooms. Actually,
OPA is encouraging the renting
of rooms by making it as easy as
possible for owners to do 50.
Rooms which were not rented
before may be rented Immediately
at price the owner believes to be
in line with ceilings. Within 50
days, the owner should file q no
tice Of the rental rate with the
OPA office to determine II It Is
in line.
I'm addition, the owner may get
from his Area Rent Office, 210
Hutton Building, Spokane, the ap-
proximate rental that will be ap-
proved before the rooms are rent
ed.
"Fears of some owners that ten
ants may be undesirable and that
they will be unable to evict them
are false. In the first place, OPA
has nothing to say about evictions
where only one or two sleeping
rooms are rented to not more than
two roomers or one family. In such
cases even where the tenants are
allowed kitchen privileges, evic-
tons may be made in tn same way
as they were before the war. OPA
has no supervision.
1T is only when more than one
family or two roomers are tenants
in the same home or where they
occupy an apartment instead Of
being roomers that OPA eviction
regulations apply. Even, in these
cases which are under OPA evic-
ton control, undesirable tenants.
such as those who fail to pay their
rent when due, destroy or abuse
property, or fail to live up to the
usual obligations Of good tenants
can be evicted after OPA has been
properly notified within q reason
able period Of time"
Mr., Grant urged that persons
wishing to convert section Of
their homes into an apartment ap-
ply to the Area Rent Office for
a preliminary rental figure.
Landlords viii be given IN ade-
quate amount for the increased
cost Of construction since 1889
above rents on comparable units
frozen ON the maximum rent date, -

Falls Church 10 Query
County on Buildings

The Falls Church Town Planning
Commission has instructed Its
chairman, Edward c. Knouse, tc
confer with Fairfax County plan
ming and zoning officials about the
proposed construction of two large
apartment developments in the
Falls Church area.
The developments would be on the
Greer property on Lee boulevard
at Seven Corners and on the West
colt property at the intersection o1
Annandale road and Lee boulevard
Samuel Dennis, secretary, told the
commission he doubted If the coun.
ty would be able to provide school.
for children from such large apart.
ments. He also noted that a por-
ton of the Greer tract is opposite
the present Falls Church town line
where the property is zoned resi-
Dental IA, the highest type OF
residential zoning.
Mr.. Knouse was instructed to get
full details on the two projects and
report back at the Planning Com
missions meeting in November.
Noting that the proposed town
budget reduces the appropriation fol
the Planning Commission from $500
to 500, the commission instructed
its chairman to appear at the budget
hearing on November and ask that
the $500 item be retained.
The commission was Informed
that the Board of Zoning Appeals
has granted a variance to Thomas
H. Woods, for the construction Of
four stores on West Broad street,

Falls Church Lacks Authority
For Sewer on Privote Lund

Commission and the Town Council
Mr.. Kellman at first tentatively
kagreed to build his store over the
sewer and reinforce the sewer line
Last week, however, the town was
Uniformed by his title attorneys that
Ihhis arrangement is not satisfactory
and alternative proposals were sub
mitted.
One Of these was to the effect that
il he shortened his building so as
not to build over the sewer, he
should be permitted to disregard
side yard requirements so as to use
his entire lot area and also to a sec.
ond story which would have apart
ments. This alternative, the plan
ming commission has ruled out al
being not in conformity with the
zoning ordinance.
Mr.. Kellman's letter indicated
that if the town does not agree te
one of his alternative proposals, he
will be forced to bring suit.

teacher groups today following rec
concentrations of the Montgomery

The panel on school lunches
agreed that the program faces .
shortage of funds by February un-
less more money is made available.

The town of Falls Church has dis
covered that one of its main trunk
sewers is located on private prop
erty which, apparently. it has no
legal authority to use.
Failure OF town authorities to
locate written easement giving
the town authority to run its sewer
through private property on South
Washington street came to light
when Jesse Kellman, merchant and
veteran Of World War II, planned
to build store on the west side OF
South Washington street.
When Mr.. Kellman purchased the
property, he was not informed that
the sewer ran across his land about
As feet from the rear property line
Later it was found that the sewer
was on his property and would seri-
ously interfere with the construc-
tion of his store, which had been
approved after considerable nego-
tiations with the Town Planning

Proposed Amendment
ONLY Grunts Power

Question. Does the proposed
amendment to the Constitution
require that Congress giUe ma

pie of the District?
Answer: No. It is simply an
enabling provision, which, added
to the Constitution, enlarges the
power of Congress and expressly
permits Congress to extend ma
tional representation to the Dis
trict. The time and manner In
which this would be done Is left
to future Congresses.
Question: Under the C0nstitu-
tion, the poper OF erclusiUe legis-
lation or exclusive control, oDer
the District, rests NTH Congress
Does not the amendment conflict
,uith this poaOer and make such
control no longer exclusive?

does not conflict with that
power. It Still remains, unaf-
fected, with Congress. The
