WHEN HUSSOS took over the building
from former landlord in March, they
said, gas and electricity was cut off. Hussos
had previously been fined $500 for shut
ting off heat on other properties.
Soon tenants began to receive notices of
tenancy termination (now in the hands Of
OPA), charging them with prostitution,
gambling, fighting and other ISLANDERS, in
an attempt on Hussos' part to evict tenants
Illegally Hussos has filed 80 of these ter

WERK'S close friend is Charles
J.. Anderson Jr., an electrical con-
tractor of 1915 w. Monroe st.
Anderson, whose mother is an
official of the pro-fascist We, the
Mothers, was a candidate for the
Republican Congressional nomin-

and 1916. He was endorsed. by
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin,

Anderson's anti-Negro, anti
Semitic, pro-fascist views didn't
prevent his winning the Republi-
can nomination for Congress in
1914. But the resulting scandal
forced the COP to repudiate him,
although he was their official
candidate.

AS the Star went to press, Hussos was
to appear in Judge LaBuy's court to report

Under the order Hussos must reveal the
true identity of owners of the three apart

and I lost my job. I got a 15-day notice"
WHY DID HUSSOS want to evict good
tenants? The former landlord at 1872 Per-
shing rd had laid the foundations for
Hussos' racket. He had started the job
of partitioning off the buildings three
room apartments into one-room rentals. He
received bonuses from new tenants and
extracted three times the original rent.

Threats, physical violence, brides
and inhuman living conditions were
disclosed this week in connection with
a brutal eviction racket uncovered by
Chicagos Rent Control Office.
In Federal Court Thursday, Samuel
Broyde, litigation attorney for the Chicago
Rent Control Office of the U. S. Housing
Expeditor, obtained temporary restrain
ing order from Judge Michael L. Igoe or
dering Gus Hussos alias Anastasias Kutro-
banos, to desist "molesting and harassing'
tenants in property at 1872 E. Pershing I'd.
Broyde said the order was obtained
speedily without Hussos' presence in
court because he feared "irreparable
damage" would be done &c tenants. The
order was served to Hussos by the U. S.
District Marshars office.
HUSSOS. Broyde said, claims to repre-
sent three corporations in which he owns
10 per cent of the corporation shares
Hussos and the anonymous 80 per cent
allegedly own apartment buildings at 1872
E. Pershing I'd, 1865 w. Grand av., and
1852 w. Illinois St., where Hussos lives. At

ARFG's Illinois division, in the
local offices at 80 N. Dearborn st.
She vigorously denied that
Werk, Katzmann. Koegel, or any
other officials had Bundist back
grounds, or any sympathy with
fascism. At the same time she
savagely attacked Allied policy
toward conquered Germany, while
refraining from any anti-Nazi re-
marks.
AS she became more friendly,
she indicated that she believed
that the war was just an awful
mistake on our part.
"A year ago we were

somewhat inaccurately: and
next year we will be fighting
the Russians. Now we see what
the war did.
I'VE destroyed our best mar
ket when we fought Germany.
We will need Germany again.
What sense was there to our
fighting Germany"
The dead of Dachau could prop
erly answer that one.
AT THE REQUEST of the re-
porter, Mrs. Heidke produced a
letter-head bearing a list of ''hon-
orary members" of ARFG. On
the list were many famous and
highly respected persons, includ-
ing DR.. Anton ]. Carlson, inter
nationally known biologist of the
University of Chicago.
Oddly enough, all the other
honorary members" from Chi
cago were also on the faculty of
the University of Chicago. They
were DR.. w. C. Alice, DR.. Alfred
E. Emerson, DR.. Frank r. Little,
and DR.. ferdinand Schevill.
do these men have any part
in the actual operation of ARFG?''
Mrs. Heidke was asked.
"Oh, no." she replied. ''They
just lend their names"
MRS. HEIDKE explained that
ARFG had been unable to secure
official permission from occupa-
ton authorities to engage in relief
work in Germany itself, so all
ARG relief supplies are sent to
Germany through the American
Friends Service Committee, a
charitable organization Of the So
ciety of Friends, better. known as
the Quakers.
The ARFG is using It's connec-
ton with the Quakers to enhance
its own prestige and to conceal
the Bundist backgrounds of SO
many ARFG leaders.
Local officials of the Friends,
however, profess ignorance of sub
versive political influences at
work behind the scenes in the
ARFG.
