| explained the history OF the bill

He declared in part:
1T is my sincere and deep feel
ing that this bill relates to mat
ter in which we as Il nation have
real and immediate obligation TO
meet enc which the American
people and the Congress Will am
sure, recognize and accept. Its pas
sage would go a long way toward
discharging this obligation. IN
volving the very integrity OF our
country with fairness and decency
to those who suffered that the
country might feel itself more Sc
cure in those dark hours.
Furthermore, the enactment of
legislation such as II. II. 2768 would
be notice to propaganda flooded ma
lions across the seas that the Uni
ted States keeps lalth-would go far
TO bolster the efforts of our occu-
patton officials to demonstrate that
Democracy is a coed way of life and
not merely q word and. especially

point that religious groups were
under attack by the Khan:

Than be- a Catholic priest

MISS hart, VINO has been ap-
pointed by the Tenants and Hous-
ing Council of Pea to head del
egation to the mayor, again will
raise three major points:
!. A moratorium on evictions
2. Public hearings on the
draft of city rent controls.
.. A stop TO remodelling of
residential property into COM
mercial property.
. Statistics released to The Chi
cago Star last week by Joseph
Lux, auditor in the office OF the
Municipal Court Bailiff, showed
a shocking jump in city evictions.
PRECISE columns of figures in
Lux's records, Labelled simply
P. O.-families PUT. OUT into
the streets by the bailiff's Office
showed that evictions have, in
creased 10 per cent in June 1947,
compared to evictioas ia June
1916.
Asad. these figures do not in
ciude evictions where families
have, moved from homes volun-
tarilY AFTER court eviction pro-
ceedings.
Employees in the bailiff's Of
flee indicated that the rise in
ewictiens will. continue to ar
steadily. Lux pointed out a rs
per cent increase in evictions from
May to June 1947, alone.
In May there were 1os evic-
tons, and in June, 1856.
CHTCAG0ANS wondered il the
promise made last week by Chief
Justice Edward Scheff-
Ter that there would be no mass
evictions under the new rent con-
troll law was to be an empty one.
Those who refuse to sign 49,
month maximum. rent increases,
HE judge said, can 'leok forward
TO- the same judicial consideration
rs under the OPA." He said land
lords seeking evictions- cannot GO
10 the OPA, as before, for an evic-
ion certificate. but must "come
straight into court to file their
suits"
To get an eviction notice, the
Judge said, landlord must prove
aonpayment of rent, nuisance or
need Of the space for his own use.

members that tenants have more
security without leases than with
them"
In a special bulletin sent to the
20 Pea Ward Chapters, Meihs
warned that where tenants sign
leases for the is per cent increase,
leases are removed from controls
on Dec. 81, 1947.
POINTING out the real pur-
pose OF the rent control law-to
decontrOl areas as rapidly as pos
sible, taking protection from ten
ants-Meihs said in cases where
tenants sign leases, if that tenant
moves after controls end in 1947,
the landlord is free to rent that
property at whatever the market
will bear.
Meihs added. however, that a
strong rent control ordinance
passed by the City Council could
block this decontrol loephole of
the new rent law.

God, this is awful"
There he paused and looking
first at the rope suspended few
inches in front of him, he turn
ed to Sheriff Holbrook and said,
Il have only one word more to

break"
There was not the slightest
tremor in his voice or the least
appearance of fear or nervous
ness in his bearing. He faced
the crowd as if to make speech,
when his faithful sister, Mrs.
Bates, entered the enclosure and
rushed up the steps. She threw

'Not a bit" he replied as tears

She replied, every we'll, Tai

Then they exchanged farewells
and promised to meet in heaven
