into lire with fellow agencies in
blaming the Civil Service Commis-
sion for all Of its woes.
As a matter Of fact, it is q rel
atively easy procedure to get rid
OF incompetent Federal workers.
As Civil Service Commissioner Ar
thus s. Femming recently pointed
out, any Government agency that
wants to get rid of ineficient en-
ploys can do 80 within 80 days.
And the fact that 1900 dis
missals on incompetency grounds
occurred last year shows Govern
ment agencies didn't have too much
trouble In getting rid Of undesirable
workers. It's only when they come
under the inquisitive eyes Of Con-
gress that Federal agencies 90 into

2. Whether UPWA will support

3. Whether it will follow its pres

up for decision today.
The struggle started yesterday as
the Federal Trade Commission re-
sumed hearings on its charge that
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute and f0l steel companies con-
lspired to fx prices.
The split was touched Of by the
presentation Of hundreds Of pages
Of steel price information dating
back to 1895, by industry lawyers.
Attorneys for Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corp. and Superior Steel Corp.
said they wished to return the rec
ords to company files until they are
admitted into evidence.
Held Pending Decision.
Lynn G. paulson, FTC counsel.
wanted to scan the lists for evidence
to support the commissions conten-
ton Of conspiracy.
Commission Trial Examiner Frank

custody pending . decision today

Three Pennsylvania steel COM

Roemer Of Sharon Steel Corp,

Commission attorneys have said
the parade Of steel company pres
idents. at this stage, is mainly to
have them identify steel price rec
ords from 1885 through January /
1s4S. The real fight, they assert, is
expected to develop over q period OF
several months. after the price lists
are admitted to evidence. Mr.. Paul

One Of Four Probes.
The FTC investigation begun last
August is only one Of four Govern

into the problem of steel prices.
One Government official said pri-
vately that a more recent investiga-

had brought out pretty intangible
evidence. He did not elaborate.
Meanwhile, two other agencies

EVICTION
tContlnued from page d

Terms of this law give tenants
grounds for legal fight on evic-
tions. specifying that 'holders of
rent increase leases are protected
as to rents and occupancy through
the first three months of 7940.
when the Rent Act expires"
This means tenants cannot be
evicted during January, February
and March of next year except
on grounds specified In the Act.
The following three grounds for
eviction remain the greatest
threat to tenants security:
FOR OWN USE
Landlords may eviet II they
desire property for their own use
or use of their immediate family.
Landlords may evict II they
desire to remodel or convert prop
erty into a created number Of
dwelling units.
A landlord can withdraw his
property from the rental market.
A dry eviction takes place
when a landlord uses the above
or other reasons for eviction, with
out in fact intending to put his
property to such use. In other
words he can serve 'legal-look-
ing" scrap of paper on his tenants
in an effort to intimidate and
coerce them into moving from
his premises.
With the housing shortage still
extremely acute, such evictions
are highly profitable to big land
lords, who can follow up by NOV
ing in new tenants at higher,
uncontrolled rents.
MAY ENJoIN LANDLORD
What protection has the tenant?
II his landlord attempt to evict
him for what he feels is an un-
Just reason, or for reasons he has
reason to believe are mere~pre-
texts, the tenant should report
the matter to the Area Rent
Director in his area. Where a
landlord violates the eviction pro-
visions of the Housing and Rent
Act of 1947, the rent director
may make application to the
courts for an injunction against
throwing a family out, pending
final decision in the local courts.
1t is important to realize that
the Area Rent Office will not act
automatically to investigate at
tempts to evict tenants. The ten
ant must report such cases, for
the new law does not require that
landlords file eviction notices with
the federal rent authorities.
Here, in the Woll Street Jour-
nails own words, is the story of
what powerful property owners
are planning for U. S. tenants.
"The nations landlords are go
ingafter rent control this year
with a doubIe-barreled shotgun.
One barrel, repeating the single
shot blast used before will renew
direct appeals to Congress to kill

"The other, aimed at enIisting
John Public in the hunt, will
pepper him with landlord laments
and please to help get rid of res
trictions, which, he'll be assured,
are working to his own disad-
vantage"

readiness of the 5,000-member

"spend money freely on repeal
