Dctroit-Five hundred tenants and
landlords fought a pitched battle in
the Detroit City Hall Common Coun-
ell chambers at the public hearing on
decontrolling rents held by the Detroit
area rent advisory board. December
90. The fight began when George
LYLE. president of the Detroit Steel
Fabricating Co. chairman of the De-
troit Advisory Board, decided to act
as dictator and keep half Of the ten
He refused to recognize protests made
by two members Of the rent board,
Tom Downs, Michigan State CLIO coun-
ell. and Mrs. Marguerite Reiff, mem
Finally, under pressure OF the tenants
and JAW members in the audience,
Chairman Lyle agreed To add tenants
representatives to the speakers list,
although he still managed to keep
some of them from speaking. Lyle
gave the floor to landlords represent
ing no one but themselves and re
fused the floor to tenants represent
ing hundreds and thousands Of Detroit
tenants.
Walter Reuther spoke in favor OF
continuing and strengthening rent con
trolls and presented a brief to the ad
visory board to back up his stand
claiming material shortages and not
rent control were responsible for the
terrible housing shortage in Detroit
Speaking of the veteran looking for q
home to live in, Reuther said the vet
eran returned to find no homes avail
able. As Of July, 1916, U. S. census
figures showed that 10 per cent of thu
married veterans were living in rented
rooms, t~railers and tourist camps
Another 8 per cent We're with theil
families. In the case OF negro vet
Grams, 10 per cen had no homes O

Hotel Rate Ruling Aids
Current Occupants

Hotel rates for transient guests
were decontrolled as of midnight
last night, but Rent Control Ad-
minlstrator Robert F. Cogswell de-
clared today the daily rate being
paid by current occupant should
not be increased until the room is
vacated.
Mr.. Cogswell said he believed II
was the intent of Congress that
rates should not be increased on
current occupants.
This statement is made" Mr.
CogsWell said, lin order to avoid
confusion and misunderstanding
When the amendment becomes ef-
tective. At the moment, the hotels
IN this city are filled to capacity
and a very large portion of their
guests are women and school chill
dren on visiting and sightseeing
tours.
Amy increase in the current rate
which they are being charged would
very likely create a financial hard
ship and one which they may not
be prepared to meet"
Mr. Cogswell said Washington
hotels, in the past. have endeavored
to cooperate with the Emergency
Rent Act. He said he hoped that,
with the lifting of controls on tran
slent accommodations, the cooper
alton will continue.
The amended law. extending rent
controls here for another year, was
signed by President Truman late
Thursday. The law does not de-
control permanent hotel rentals.
