Owners Await UNRRA
Decision on New!Lease
OF Dupont Apartments

An early decision by the Govern
ment or the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
on whether a lease on the Dupont
Circle Apartments will be renewed
for UNRRA is being sought by the
owners, so far in vain, it was learned
today.
An UNRRA spokesman said nego-
tiations for renewal of lease which
expires June 80 are being conducted
but Jerome S. Murray, real estate
dealer at 1881 G street NV. con-
tract owner of the apartments, says
that so far as he knows no nego-
tlations are under way.
We've been trying to get them
TO tell us what they are going to do,
but they're wishy-washy about the
whole thing, and we'd like 10 know
soon," he said.
AT the Public Buildings Admins
tratlon, a spokesman said negotia-
tions are being handled by UNRRA.
But Mr.. Murray said that UNRRA,
ne understood, had appealed to the
State Department to intercede with
the buildings agency and ask that
agency to handle negotiations.
A flve-year lease without light of
renewal expires June 30, a spokes-
man for the buildings administra-
tion said.
The history building is owned by
James G. Dulin, jr., an attorney
with Offices in the apartment build
ang. A 90-day contract Of sale was
entered into between him ind Mr..
Murray in February, Mr.. Murray
said.
Mr.. Murray said that under any
lease with UNRRA, the buildings
management would want to provide
elevator, janitor and other services
such as now are provided by the
buildings agency.
The Governments rental for the
building is S179,670 annually, which
also is reimbursed by UNRRA, a
buildings agency spokesman said.
Figures on the amount of additional
management costs were not avail
able, he said
UNRRA officials refused to dis
cuss renewal of the-lease other than
to say that it was under negotiation.

Rejah Proves He Is Alive;
 Thef, Stricken

LONDON, Aug. 5.-An Exchange Telegraph Agency dispatch from Calcutta said that Ramandra Mar ayan Roy, Rajah of Bhowal, who won a 25-year fight in the courts last week to prove he was legally alive, died Saturday in Calcutta while waiting for King George VI to sign an order restoring his vast domain.
 The Privy Council highest judi ciary authority in the British En- pire, late Tuesday recognized the Rajah's claim by dismissing the cast of Rance Bibhabati, widow of the Rajah, who said Roy died at Darjeeling in 1909 and was c-e- mated.
 The Rajah maintained that while his funeral pyre was burning, a heavy downpour drove his mourn CTS to shelter. The rain revived him, he said, and he was rescued by passing beggers with whom he lived for 12 years while suffering from a loss of memory.

DIVISION OF PALESTINE IS
 TURNED DOWN

LONDON, Aug. 5-The Jewish Agency Executive rejected today the British-American cabinet commit tees proposal to divide Palestine into a Federal state. British gov- crnment sources said Prime Minis ter Attlee would ask his ministers to submit the Palestine problem to the United Nations if President Tru man also rejects the semi-partition plan.
 A Jewish Agency executive com munique issued in Paris said the group regards the British pro- posals, based on the report of the committee of six as announced by MT. Morrison in the House of Commons, as unacceptable as ha- sis for discussion
 Herbert Morrison, Lord President of the Council, announced last week that the British government had accepted as a basis for negotia- tions the cabinet committee pro- posals to divide Palestine into four Provinces-one Arab one Jewish and two Central government zones as a basis for negotiation.
 Morrison added, however, that the plan depended upon United States support-which has not yet been forthcoming. President Truman has summoned his cabinet delegates home for more detailed discussion of the plan. Reports from Wash ington have said the plan was not well received there.

ROBERT F. pEAKE
 VETS CONTACT MAN, SURPLUS PROPERTY

In an effort to give every as- sistance to the veteran business man, whether he be doctor, farmer storekeeper or miner, the Terri torial Surplus Property Office at Anchorage, has temporarily ap- pointed Robert F. Peake as Veter- ans Field Officer, according to Ray Mathews.
 MT Peake will contact veterans in Juneau and throughout the Territory who have purchased sur plus property for use in their own business or for sale. He will dis cuss immediate and future needs with the Veterans with a view to better coordination between the Veterans in business and the Sur plus Property Office.
 MT Peake, furthermore, will ac- quaint Veteran business men with the Surplus Property Act as it di- rectly affects their particular enter prize to insure them against any violation of regulations.
 By an Act of Congress Vet erans may buy surplus property next in line after Federal Agencies. On a certain group of set aside items they come at the top of the list In some instances this priv ilege has been abused, perhaps un- knowingly A Veteran who uses his priority certification to trent" for another individual, or as an author ized dealer when he is not actual ly operating as such, cheats the legitimate buyer of his right to buy and he is breaking the law.
 The Surplus Property Office is not a law enforcement or policing agency. However, when law break ing is detected the evidence must be turned over to the Department of Justice, which checks the case for possible prosecution under the U. s. Criminal Code.
