By John w. Stepp

Should landlord be equally liable
to criminal prosecution with his
tenant when the latter refuses to
vacate a condemned building?
Judge John P. Mcmahon Of Mu-
nicipal Court and the Corporation
Counsels Office are taking opposite
sides on this question.
1t involves Interpretation of the
law, which provides penalties up to
a SlOO fine or 80 days in jail for
each day the tenant remains after
his home has been condemned.
While judge and prosecutors are
in agreement on that section OF the
law holding the tenant liable 80
days after the building has been
declared uninhabitable, the term
inology of a second section has
produced divergent views.
Landlord Affected.
1t states that mo person having
authority to prevent" shall permit
anv condemned building to be occu-
pied unless authorized by the Dis
trict.
Judge Mcmahon holds that land
lords fit into the category OF per-
sons "having authority to prevent"
occupancy. He made this clear IN
a recent case when he questioned
Assistant Corporation Counsel Philip
Brophy as to why his Office had
not charged the landlord as well as
the tenant, a middle-aged colored
woman living with four children IN
a broken-do home IN the zoo
block of l. street S.W.
Mr.. Brophy replied that his Of
fices policy was to spare the land
lord, except in cases where he &C
cepted rent after condemnation.
The owner in the L street case had
refused to accept rent, and repeat
edly had ordered the woman to
leave.
Judge Mcmahon later said the
acceptance of rental has nothing to
do with the question Of prosecution.
The way read the District code
landlords are jointly responsible for
the occupancy. and have recourse
to eviction proceedings in landlord
and tenant court to t"t the tenant
out and abide by the law he de-
clared.
Policy to Stand.
Clark King, senior prosecutor for.
his office in the court, emphasized
today that he would let his policy
stand and would refuse to file
charges against . landlord unless

Research Space
Rented by Firm
In Silver Spring
Naval Contract Work
Requires Leasing Of
Bowling Alley Site
4

Laboratory and Office space has
been leased in Silver Spring for q
New York engineering firm engaged
in undisclosed research on Navy
ordnance contracts, 1t was learned
today.
The Kellex Corp, now housed in
the Applied Physics Laboratory Of
Johns Hopkins University, Silver
Spring, will conduct the work in a.
building occupied by the Silver
Spring Bowling Alleys, 936 Wayne
avenue.
DR.. G. r. Tatum, director of the
firms Silver Spring laboratory. said
the lease is for three years. He re-
fused to reveal the amount involved
or divulge the nature of the work to
be done.
Turns Out Bowling Leagues.
Leasing of the building turns out
nearly a dozen bowling leagues in
midseason.
Eugene j. c. Raney, the owner
expressed regret at the necessary Of
this but said the transaction for
his structure had been in the making
for two years and had put him in
"a quantry over bookings. He had
purchased 20 tons of steal to enlarge
his building.
Mr.. Raney now is trying to place
the bowling leagues at other estab-
lishments, virtually all of which have
heavy schedules. He said the Metro.
, politan Washington Bowling OPP
orators Association is cooperating.
| The Kellex Corp. is a subsidiary Of
the M. w. Kellog Co., New York,
which in turn is owned by Pullman,
Inc, manufacturers of Pullman cars.
Cites Lack of Space.
! DR.. Tatum explained the move
was necessitated by lack Of space at
the two Johns Hopkins laboratories
in Silver Spring. He said the Kellex
Corp. had operated the laboratories
Jointly with Johns Hopkins from
March, 1916. to last August !. when
the JOINT ownership was dissolved.
Much Of the work at the applied
physics laboratory has been in the
field Of e1ectronics research. One
Of the most notable projects at the
laboratory was the development Of
the proximity fuse during the war.
/ Other projects on which the es.
tablishment has worked include the
ram-jet supersonic engine for
guided missiles. sensitive torpedo
and a number Of advanced elec.
tronics techniques for gunnery.

Maryland Areas
ReadytoExtend
Park Program
Master Plan Revision
To Speed Expansion
Delayed Since '30s

Revision of the master plan of
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission clears
the way for long delayed develop
ment of areas in nearby counties
as funds become available, officials
said today.
Irwin I. Main. commission chair
man. said amendments adopted last
week will enable the agency to
extend the park system to Oxon
Run and Paint Branch Valley,
Prince Georges. and Little Falls
Branch and Willets Run Valleys
in Montgomery.
The plan was revised after public
hearings at which no protests were
filed.
The valleys added to the system
we're covered by a 1916 amendment
to the Capper- -Cramton Act and
their development was facilitated,
officials said, when the Maryland
General Assembly raised debt hmi-
tations on the planning commission
in 1947.
Contingent on Appropriations.
The commission, declared, however,
that the whole parkway development
program is contingent on adequate"
appropriations by Congress. OF the
S4,500,000 authorized by the Capper-
Cramton Act, little more than
S1.500,000 has been opriated to
date.
One third of the appropriations is
in the form of a Federal grant. The
remainder constitutes loan.
Fred. w. Tuemmler, director
Of planning at the commissions
regional Office in Prince Georges
County, said all money lent to the
Maryland agency has been repaid
except one loan not yet due.
Additional Land Reserved.
The general park plan was adopted
for Montgomery County in 1882 and
for Prince Georges in 1899. Orig
inally included were the valleys of
Rock Creek and Cabin John Greek,
Montgomery; Anacostia River and
Indian Greek, Prince Georges, and
Northwest Branch and Sligo Creek,
in both counties
The commission has acquired
about $50 acres for the Rock Greek
Parkway. IS acres for Cabin John.
and 160 acres for Sligo, with the
Capper- -Cramton funds. Additional
lands have been reserved or are
under option in the Little Falls,
Northwest branch and Sligo Greek
sections.
Approximately 800 acres have been
purchased in Prince Georges for
the Anacostia parkway. The COM
mission said that, as in Montgomery.
tracts which were Threatened by
intensive development of areas lying
in the path of the stream valley
parks" had been saved through res
ervation and option in anticipation
of further Federal appropriations.

all and the promotion OF
education and educational
facilities"
The platform favors the
abolition of the poll tax and
opposes the idea of racial
segregation in the armed
services. These two commit
ments may be interpreted in
different ways because there
is no specific proposal as TO
how the Republicans would
outlaw the poll tax or get rid
of segregation in the armed
services. Abolition OF the poll
tax may be accomplished by
a simple congressional enact
ment, a constitutional amend
ment or state action. Any one
Of these three methods would
be compliance with the plat
form.
On the basis Of Republican
attitudes, as shown during
debate on the draft law, Re-
publicans do not favor q pro-
vision in law which would
prohibit racial segregation in
the armed services. They,
therefore, must favor admin
istrative action TO end this
practice. But the platform
sayeth not.
Perhaps, as the campaign
moves forward, these issues
will be clarified. They will
have to be, if the Republican
candidate is to make a serious
bid for the colored vote. For
all Mr.. Truman has to do, as
surely he will, is stand on
the report OF his Committee
on Civil Rights and his
special message to the Con-
gress recommending 10
point civil rights legislative
program.
