By John W. Stepp

Should a landlord be equally liable
to criminal prosecution with his
tenant when the latter refuses to
yacate a condemned building?
Judge John P. Mcmahon OF Mu-
nicipal Court and the Corporation
Counsel's Office are taking opposite
sides on this question.
It involves Interpretation OF the
law, which provides penalties up to
a 500 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 mas
produced divergent views.
Landlord Affected.
1t states that mo person having
authority to prevent" shall permit
any 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-down home in the 200
block of l. street S.W.
Mr.. Brophy replied that his Of
fees 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 get 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 a landlord unless
he continues to accept rent after

Judge, Prosecutor Disagree
On Brinqinq Landlords to Trial

why should the owner go to the
expense Of an eviction suit, when
there is criminal law that clearly
places blame on a tenant?" he asked.
The prosecutor pointed out also
that eviction proceedings would take
a couple of months, "but, if we
charge tenant. we can get him in
court and the case disposed of right
away"
Actually, Mr.. King added, he could
not recall one instance where a
tenant convicted on the charge had
been sent to Jail.
Judges, he said. invariably are
lenient toward occupants whose
straitened circumstances preclude
their finding habitable low-cost
homes on short notice.
Mr.. King could recall only one
case where a landlord was prose-
cuted and fined under the culpability
charge. The basis was that he ac-
cepted rent after the quarters had
been condemned.

New York Firm Rents
Silver Spring Space
For Research Work

Laboratory and Office space has
been leased in Silver Spring for a
New York engineering firm engaged
in undisclosed research on Navy
ordnance contracts, it was learned
today.
The Kellex Corp. now housed in
the Applied Physics Laboratory Of
Johns Hopkins University, Silver
Spring, will conduct the work in
building occupied by the Silver
Spring Bowling Alleys, 936 Wayne
avenue.
DR.. G. r. Tatum, director Of the
firm 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 ]. 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
quandry over bookings. He had
purchased 20 tons of steel 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, 1946, to last August /, when
the joint ownership was dissolved.
Much of the work at the applied
physics laboratory has been in the
field of electronics 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, a sensitive torpedo
and a number of advanced elec-
tronics techniques for gunnery.
