 Instigotine. Freezeout
 Colorado Owners Told to Turn of
 Heot on Tenonts

Colorado Springs, Colo, Nov. 1 {UP)-Colorado Springs landlords demanding removal of OPA rent controls, today considered turning off the heat and letting their ten- ants "sit and freeze to death"
 "freezeout" campaign was sug- gested last night at rally of the Fl Paso County Landlords Associa- ton by Frank A. Mobley, attorney for the association.
 Give them 10 days notice and then shut off the gas," Mobley said Tt will serve a lot of tenants right.
 He said he had found legal loophole which would allow land- lords to freeze out their tenants He said Colorado State law provides that the occupant of dwelling # mo longer considered tenant afteI Ia lo-day eviction notice has been served.
 therefore" Mobley declared, 'ii you are not renting to tenant you don't have to abide by proW- sions of the OPA.'
 He proposed that each member oi the landlords association take Il upon himself to instigate th' "freezeout."
 We can be accused of conspiracy if we got on record as having voted to conduct this move as a group, he said. But by taking individua action we won't be violating thu law"
 Mobley also proposed that Colo rado Springs landlords refuse tt re-rent any homes or apartments

TidoTWove .Neors Oahu

Honolulu, Nov. l.-(UP)-A tidal wave was reported today as likely to strike the island of Oahu mo- mentarily. The wave stemmed from a violent earthquake recorded in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
 The tidal wave was expected to bs less severe than the last one on April that killed more than Ian persons in the Hawaiian Islands and left thousands homeless.
 Navy authorities immediately re- layed warnings to police who alert ed thousands of residents along the peach areas north of Diamond Head
 Waves were reported abnormally high along the beach early today apparently the forerunners of likely destructive waves that were to follow.
 The earthquake described as ''vio- lent" was recorded on the seismo- graph at Fordham University, New York, at 6:25 A. M. EST. (3:25 A M. PST). Fordham seismologists reported 1t was 4.400 miles distant In a northwest direction, probably in the vicinity of the Aleutians.
 The tidal wave which struck the islands with devastating force last April also was churned up. by sub- terranean quakeS in the Aleutians deep in the Gulf of Alaska.

Meanwhile, Rrug's aides took the position that they would at least hear what the miners had to say.
 But what the Government does about Lewis demands will be more important. The 181s cent wage in- crease granted the UNIV. in the Government agreement last May was the maximum allowable under present wage policy. Any contem- plated, policy changes must be adopted before new wage conces- sions can be granted to the miners.
 Moreover, changes in wage policy and settlement of the coal cases will be important in future wage disputes involving CI.O. unions in basic industries.
 Lewis was expected to ask re- duction in the miners 54-hour work week with pay raises to offset, at least in part, the resulting cut in weekly takehome pay.

VA Worms Vet Students |On Reports
 Subsistence Poy End Threatened lf Not Complying

Washington, Nov. 1. CUP)-Hun. dreds of thousands of veteran stu- dents are threatened with cessa- tion of their CT subsistence pay ments unless they report their out side income by Tuesday, the Vet erans Administration warned today.
 VA said only 10 percent of the ], 1,25l ,844 ex-Servicemen drawing Federal payments under school and job training programs have filed statements required under a new law limiting combined private in come and Government subsistence to SITS month for single veterans and $200 month for married ones
 Meanwhile, VA officials said that no matter how high living costs go they do not intend to ask Con- gress to increase CT tuition and employment training subsistence al- lowances.
 In any case, veterans who fail to get under reports in the mails by Tuesday will find their Federal payments halted.
 Officials declined to estimate how many veterans will owe the Gov ernment for excess payments since Aug. 8, when the new law was passed in the closing days of the last Congress.
 It was believed, however, that the number will be large. Student vet erans generally have contended il is difficult to live on the govern ment allowance ($65 if single, $9( if married) and have sought out side employment to supplement their federal cheeks.
 VA next week starts notifying overdrawn veterans how much they owe in repayment.
 The VA announcement em' phasized that disabled veterans ir training under Public Law IS, e separate measure, are not affected by the ceiling and are not required to file the income statements.
 VA said the reports on outside income should be filed with loca veterans administration offices or forms that have been sent out witt subsistence checks for the pas three months.
