DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 25-In this
crowded Texas city, where classified
columns daily plead the urgent need
of housing, hundreds of rooms,
apartments and residences are
empty. Landlords are striking for
abolition of the OPA.
Mrs. Frank Morris. So, Dallas
cluubwoman. president Of the State-
wide Landlords, Inc, and the Dallas
Property Owners and Associates, is
leading the militant drive against
the Government agency.
This is quiet STRIKE" she said.
Mostly, there have been no evic-
tions. When tenants move out, doors
are locked and stay that way. At
least 5000 Dallas housing units now
are being withheld. The landlords
aren't fooling."
Mrs. Morris owns no rental prop
erty but feels rent control is "un-
democratic, unconstitutional and is
cheating homecoming veterans out
of a place to live." Her only son, a
radio operator, was lost in Bit
TdlQ over Germany.
II am fighting the OPA," she ex-
planned, because + want this coun-
TRY to be worthy of his sacrifice" !"
Joe II. Blann. totally disabled by
heart trouble as result Of German
Eshellfire in World War I, said he
had sold a duplex and triplex be-
cause of burdensome controls and
that five-room cottage would stay
empty until "the Government re-
stores property to landlords"
He was in bed in his own unit of
his otherwise empty apartment
house. which, until last March, ac-
Icommodated 18 other tenants. Last
February he got into a price squab-
bile with OPA and the agency OBJ
tanned a $289 Federal Court judg-
ment against him.
Capt. John r. Lowrey is a 56-year-
old overseas veteran of both world
wars. A flyer, he was shot down
eight times in the first war. In the
last he lost the sight of one eye.
Capt. Lowrey owns or controls 102
apartments in Dallas. Sixty-three
now are vacant.
They'll stay that way until this
country is rid of rent control" he
said. I'm not after higher rents.
My complaint is that under OPA
