Westchester Tenants
Ask Review Of 10pcf.
Increase in Rents

A petition to review a 10 per cent
increase in rents at the 558-unit
Westchester Apartment. Cathedral
avenue at Thirty-ninth street NV,
has been filed with Rent Control
Administrator Robert F. Cogswell.
The increase was due to go into
effect tomorrow unless a review
was sought.
Signed by 266 tenants. the petit
ton was presented by the law firm
OF Nordlinger e. King. 1t seeks to
combat the increase on these
grounds:
/. The present owner, the Realest
Corp, has no right to base re-
quest for rent rises on the mainte-
nance and operating figures of the
former owner. The corporation
bought the big apartment develop
ment in February and filed applica-
ton for the increase in May.
2. The owner failed to prorate
some of the operating costs used
as basis for the increase among
concessionaireS> like the Safeway
Store and the Westchester Garage,
which pay the owner for utilities
and janitor service.
3. The owner failed to take into
consideration in computing operat-
ing costs that the loan negotiated
by the present owner at the time
,of sale is at lower rate of interest
than the previous loan On the
building.
The owner originally asked a
17ha per cent increase, but this was
cut to 10 per cent in the rent exam
iner's commentator to Mr.
Cogswell.
Ernest F. Williams. general coun-
sci for the rent office, said today
20 per cent increase has been
asked for 43 units of the Ambas-
sador Apartments, 1750 Sixteenth
street NV.
The owner. the Capital Realty Co.,
is seeking the increase to cover a
rise in taxes, salaries. coal and other
expenses, plus the cost of installing
a modern elevator.
The application also asked per-
mission to eliminate telephone
switchboard service.

wit, the Office of Information and
Cultural Affairs Of the State Depart
ment-likewise tried to make itself
sacred on patriotic grounds. The
argument was that without this
agency, costing some $31 100000
yearly and calling its service "The
Voice of America" to sell" the
United States abroad, counteracting
anti-American propaganda, our coun-
try was at a great disadvantage and
our world leadership nullified Perhaps
General Marshall's powerful support
may save it and fairly strong case
can be made out on these lines. But
it is badly weakened by such incidents
as the eulogies Of Mr.. Henry Wallace
broadcast from here while he was
touring England in opposition to the
American foreign policy, and by other
ridiculous evidences Of bad judgement
and incapacity.
The house committee already has

None 100 sacred

Before this session began, when
it became evident that the Republican
Congress really was determined to
slice that $4,000, 100000 budget Of
President Truman, as no budget had
even been sliced before, every depart
ment of the Government proceeded to
protect itself the best it could.
They did two entirely natural
things. First with full certainty that
no matter what they asked, a cut
would be made, they asked for much
more than they needed in order that
when the cut came they would not be
mortally hurt. Second, they prepared
facts and figures, organized propa-
ganda and press support to defend
their requests and make any re
duction seem ruinous. This was
wholly normal in the administrative
end of public life, men look after their
own interests first and the national
interests second That is the rule.
There are so few exceptions that at
the moment, none can be recalled.
With the ak lowering over their
heads, not even the broad-minded de-
partmental chiefs (of whom there
are a few We're in position to take
a national view Of the needed oper-
alton. They all were compelled to look
at it from the departmental angle
and still do What this meant was not
cooperation in the effort to regain
control Of the size and cost Of govern
ment but resistance all the way from
the White House down. Naturally,
some departments, better equipped
and better led than others, have been
able to make out better cases for
themselves, thus impressing the
wielders Of the AK with the idea that
disaster would follow any consider
able cut.
Easily the most astute and skillful
of these are the Army and Navy,
which account between them for near
ly one third of the total budget
not far from Sl2,O00,OOO.00O The
argument advanced by army and
navy spokesman against any re-
duction IN their appropriations was
simple, concrete and hard to combat.
To cut the Army and Navy, we were
told, would weaken the national de-
lenses to point where we could not
fulfill our commitments abroad and
our whole foreign policy would be
enfeebled. Well, no one wanted that.
When that argument was presented
by the Secretaries of War and Navy,
by the chief of staff and all the
admirals and generals, it was very

impressive, indeed 1t Immediately
swung to their support the great bulk
Of the newspapers, radio and press
commentators. In a short while it al
most seemed sacrilegious to suggest
cutting down an army-navy dollar
1t IS interesting to note that there
has been a change in this feeling. The
notion that in an appropriation Of
more than S11 900 10000 there is no
padding and that no reductions can
be made without wrecking the nation
al defense no longer is unanimously
accepted. Once they started to think
it over, the ak wielders ceased to be
scared. Two Democratic senator's
Byrd, of Virginia, and George, of
Georgia-were the first to challenge
the sacredness if this $1,000, 100000.
The ideas that at least $1,000,000, 900
could not be taken out of this with
out crippling the services or that the
Army and Navy really had pared
their requests to the bone" were
particularly questioned by Mr.. Byrd,
who knows more about departmental
appropriation tactics than anyone
else.

truth is it was never a really wanted
instrument, either in Congress or in
the country-and certainly not among
our diplomats in the field. Moreover,
the effort to "sell' the service has
been little overdone, which is why
its mistakes, which have been silly
rather than serious, are made so
much Of, 1t all goes to show that
more than noise is needed to brighten
off these ruthless Republican ak
swingers ard that no department
should be too sacred to touch.
