s. Rent Rise Is Upheld
For Fairfax Village
Over Tenants Appeal

Robert F. Cogswell, District rent
control administrator, today upheld
findings of a rent control examiner
and granted a 50 overall increase or
826 apartments in Fairfax Village
Thirty eighth street and Alabama
avenue Sc, the rent administra-
ton announced today.
An appeal to the administrator

do so. A committee of tenants
headed by Ralph Hightower will de-
eide tonight whether to appeal, Mr.
Champion said.
Rent increases will total $29, 1876, OF
51s per cent, as against total OF
$63 292 80, or approximately u pei
cent, asked by the owners.
Mr.. Smiths findings were issued
after four days of hearings. He also
recommended that rents be reduced
by SIPS when the management is
able to discontinue telephone switch
board service as soon as the install
lation of private telephones by the
Chesapeake g. Potomac Telephone
Co. is feasible.
The $1,25 charge is now made by
the owners for the switchboard serv-
ice, which they asked permission to
discontinue.

bonds to do it. The city is still pay
ing interest on that debt, Gen.
Early cleaned up the business of
levying the 100000 on the morning
of July 8. In the afternoon he
fought and defeated Gen. Lew Wal
lace in the battle of the Monacacy,
the stream that flows east of Fred
erick into the Potomac
Frederick's historians believe that
the delaying action fought on the
outskirts of their town saved WASH
ington and there is much justifica-
ton for their belief. 1t was nip
and tuck Anything that delayed
Early helped save Washington.
There are those who believe that
Washington was saved two days later
when Gen. Early and his officers,
having reached Rockville on July 10
and entered the District on July
II, lost the battle because, ac-
cording to legend, they made their
headquarters at Montgomery Blair s
house in Silver Spring and drank
his whisky.
That story may be unfair to a
great general, but the fact remains
that he got only as far as Fort
Stevens.
Battle Planned Next Year.
The idea of yesterdays pageant
was that of Harry Herman. a re-
porter on the Frederick News Post.
Known as "Gabby' to most of the
people here, he enlivened the cav
airy raid with his running COM
ments from a sound truck. He
was aided by the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, which went for the
idea even to the extent of renting
Confederate uniforms from Wash
ington costumer. Next year they
are going to re-enact the whole
battle with Gen. Wallace and his
men in blue uniforms.
William E. Hardy. president of
the Junior Chamber and general
manager of Station WIND, put
on a black mustache and beard
and played the role of Gen. Early.
His cavalry escort were members
of the Lost Stirrup Riding Club
of Woodsboro, many of them tour
nament riders. They were Earl

moved yesterday to head off an in
crease in social security payroll
taxes for old-age insurance, due to

gress amends existing law.
The Senate group amended a
House bill to provide for a fiat two
year extension Of the present rates
Of l per cent each on employer and
employe, pending thorough review
of the Social Security Act. The rate
otherwise would go up next January
to 2h per cent each.

DistrictCourtC CIeursWo>
For Electric Rote Cut

District Court Justice David A.
Pine today removed the final legal
barrier to reduced rates for Potomac c
Electric Power Co. consumers by the
Public Utilities Commission in 1914
Justice Pine in a formal action
set aside an order of the court On
September 7, 1914, sHspending the
effective date of the reduced rates
while litigation in which Pepco
fought the rate reduction was in
progress.
The Supreme Court on May S
refused to review the order after
it had been upheld by the District
Court and the United States Court
of Appeals. Justice Pines action
today clears the way for rebates to
Pepco consumers for the difference
in payments at the former rates
while the matter was in litigation.

FREDERICK, Nd, July TO-
There are times when community
takes delight in reliving its past
when a costumed Paul Revere rides
through Lexington, bearded Ponce
de Leon walks in pageantry through
St. Augustine and a proxy Jesss
James raids st. Joseph, Mo.
Just such a celebration was held
here yesterday. 1t. Gen. Jubal
Early, C. S. A. appeared again at
the head of grey-coated cavalry, de-
manded 100000 of the city's five
banks and got a number of specie
bags, some of which actually con-
tanned money.
The officers of the banks seemed
to love it as the Confederates
grabbed them by the arms and
pulled them into the street while
amateur movie makers filmed the
event.
83d Anniversary of Raid.
It was in observance of the 83d
anniversary of the Civil War raid
of July 9, 1864, when Gen. Early
who had $4,000 men upder his COM
mand, actually got 100000 from
the city's five banks under threat
that he would burn the town.
Gen. Early wasn't fooling. He put
Chambersburg, Pa, to the torch.
Three of the banks still have the
same names they had in '64. They
are the Fredericktown Savings In
stitution, now under the presidency
of F. Ross Myer, who handed money
bags over to Gen. Early" yesterday
at the point OF a sword; the Farm
ers and Mechanics National Bank,
where D. Albert ellison, president,
did the same, and the Frederick
County National Bank. from which
Arthur ". Myers was dragged" to
the curb.
The two other banks which con-
tributed now are named the West
ern Maryland Trust Co., whose
cashier, Elmer I. Eshelman. came
across with money bag. and the
Citizens National Bank, whose
president, Holmes D. Baker, did
likewise. Mr.. Bakers father, Joseph
D. Baker, was a banker in Fred
erick In 1864 when Gen. Early made
the levy.
Banks Partly Reimbursed.
None of the banks failed because
of the 1864 raid. The city of Fred
erick gave them 100000 and issued

VFW Officials Study
'Subyersive' Textbook
Used in Schools Here

Districs department officials Of the
Veterans OF Foreign Wars today
began a study Of history textbook
used in District schools that has been
blasted as "subversive" by Board OF
Education Member Adelbert w. Lee
Mr.. Lee renewed his attacks or
the book at the first of series Of
public hearings held by the VFW's
Un- american Activities Committee
last night at the Willard Hotel.
After the session, Charles S. Sui
livan, jr., chairman of the commit
tee, said each member obtained q
copy of the book, Building Citizen
ship" by R. o. Hughes. They will
express views of it at a, second
hearing next Wednesday night, Mr.
Sullivan said.
"Disreepect Of u. S." Charged.
Mr.. Lee said the volume, used by
ninth grade students. contains a
reference to religion that is de
rogatory." He said questions re-
lating to the home were asked
but not answered." and that the
book in general has a tendency fol-
"disrespect of the United States"
In addition, he said, the book
has a derogatory effect in that 1t
suggested that more than one po-
litical party in the United States
should not be encouraged. Mr.. Lee
also pointed out that a picture OF
Premier Stain appears in the book
and said it contained no pictures
of American generals or admirals
In brief flareup at the meeting
Board Member Robert A. Maurer
walked out of the meeting in pro-
test, after another speaker criticized
history books approved by George
J. Jones, head of the District high
schools history department.
Book by Beard Criticized.
The speaker, Franklin T. Miles. an
attorney, criticized a book written
by Charles A. Beard that he said
was approved by MIR. Jones for
teacher instruction.
Mr.. Maurer leaped to his feet in
defense of Mr.. Jones.
Jones has given all his life to the
teaching of American history" he
declared. ANY one who has the
unmitigated nerve to attack George
Jones as subversive is unfair"
Mr.. Maurer then left the meeting,
but later returned and agreed to ad
dress the hearing next week.
Mr.. Miles said he was author of a
bill introduced by Representative
OKonski Republican, of Wisconsin
that would create the position of a
SIC. 0.00O-a-year counselor to work
toward excluding "subversive teach

City Corp. and his client is pre-
pared to pay, Mr.. Munter said. The
transaction, he explained, insure;
occupancy of the premises by his
client until 1851.
In what Mr.. Munter, a former
bar association president, described
as the biggest landlord and tenant
case ever to be heard in Municipal
Court. the Appeals Court ruled a
tenant cannot be evicted by his
landlord for nonpayment of rent II
he is willing to pay his arrears in
full, with interest and costs. At
torney William H. Collins also rep
resented Service Parking Corp. in
the Appeals Court. &
Chief Judge Nathan Cayton ano
Associate Judge Brice Clagett joined
Judge Andrew McC. Hood in the
decision, which said:, b.
THE ground for granting relief
to the tenant is that the provision
of the lease giving the landlord the
right to repossess for nonpayment
of rent is in substance merely Sc
curity for payment of rent, and that
upon payment of the arrears, inter-
est and costs, the landlord has COM
plete compensation and has no need
to resort to his security"
Complaint Filed in 1914.
The Appeals Court held the trial
court erred in holding the tenant
was not required to offer the land
lord the rent. with interest, which
had become due after the date OF
the court judgment. The court said
the threatened eviction would be
halted permanently if the tenant
would pay all back rent, plus in
terest and all court costs. Mr.
Munter said his client is prepared to
do just that, by paying about $780,
600 to the landlord.
The case was twice tried and was
in the Appeals Court previously, in
May, 1916. The United States Court
of Appeals declined previously tc
review the case.
The litigation began in June,
1914, when the previous owner. the
late Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean
filed a complaint in the Landlord
and Tenant Branch of Municipal
Court to oust the Service Parking
Corp. for nOn-payment of rent.
