In Mass Evictions

An inquiry into rents charged
to 20 families evicted Thursday
from a Rhode Island avenue apart
ment building has been launched
by the District rent administra-
tors Office. officials disclosed to-
day.
Rent Administrator Robert cogs-
we'll said his agency will seek tc
learn whether tenants were re-
quired to pay excessive rents and
will require the owner Of the
building TO file a rent schedule
No such schedule now Is on file,
he said.
Because the new Rent Act lacks
a clause providing for criminal
penalties. the District viii not be
able to prosecute the owner in the
event excessive rents were charged
But the tenants themselves would
be able to bring suit II the rents
violated the Law. and future ten
ants can seek protection through,
this same means. Mr.. Cogswell
pointed out.
The eviction was carried out by
United States marshals on q
Landlord and Tenant Court judg-
ment against the lessee. Solomon
Mcdowell. who had been sublett-
ing to some 40 persons. Owner Of

Late Action on D.C.BiII
10 Delay Payments 10
10000 on Relief Rolls

More than 10000 persons on
relief rolls in the District will no,
receive their money on July be
cause OF the delay In passing the
District Appropriation bill
Despite its concern. the Public
Welfare Board yesterday decided
IL can do nothing but wait for tho
appropriation bill 10 pass, After
the money bill Is signed by the
President. II will take about a week
or 10 days 10 get the checks inte
the hands OF the recipients.
The hardest hit will be thoss
persons on the public assistance
rolls. including blind and aged
persons and dependent children
6,s36 Cases In Files.
The board now has 6.e36 cases
in its files. covering between 10 600
and IL 900 persons.
A similar delay In getting funds
occurred in July. ie47. when the
appropriation bill was not passed
until late In July. Persons on relief
at that time received some assist
ance from private charities. but
with the failure OF the Community
Chest TO reach It's goal. It Is be-
lieved there will be little chance
OF getting outside aid this year
The only possibility Is to induce
merchants TO allow relief recipients
credit for food until their checks
arrive.
The board also reviewed chile
day-care operations. which ars
under its supervision. Congress
has appropriated 800 900 for IN.
year to carry on this work. but II
Is believed that. with the 1880 in.
crease in salaries 10 employees o.
the day-care centers. this will MOI
be enough TO carry on for thu
fiscal year beginning July /.
Fee Increase Proposed.
II Is proposed that the board
raise the fees 80 cents q week pei
family and In addition increass
the capacity 10 per cent TO maks
up the difference.
The District appropriation bill
contains about si3. 900 900 for thu

this date last year. the Public
Health Service reported today.
Citing better reporting and
diagnosis OF the disease for a,
least part of the rise. officials said
the 1900 cases reported thus far
is high enough to warrant every
precaution during the summer va
cation season"
II the present rate continues
the service said. this year could
approach the peak of 10000 cases
reported in 1916. Except for a
limited area in Texas, however
there are no local concentrations
of cases which suggest possible
polio epidemics.
The District so far this year
has reported three cases. against
none for this date last year. Mary
land so far has reported i3 cases,
compared to only one In l948
while Virginia's II cases eQualed
the number reported by this date
last year.
Public health officials gave this
advice to vacationers and week
end holiday travellers:
Don't get overtired.
Avoid sudden chill--don't plunge
into cold water when overheated
Watch the resort towns news

AAUW Minority Here,
0pposingWithdrawaI,
To Form New Branch

A minority group in the Wash
ington branch of the American
Association of University Women
will not go along with the with
drawal of the Washington branch
from the association, but will en-
deavor to organize new branch
with a new charter.
Mrs. Ruth v. Lyons, leader of
the minority group, told the Asso-
ciated Press in Seattle at the close
of the associations convention
there that her faction plans to
continue an AAUW in Washing
ton.
The Washington branch with
drew from the association when its
national convention passed by
laws ruling that all branches
must accept all qualified women
graduates of accredited colleges as
members.
Refused to Admit Negro.
The issue was brought to q head
by the refusal of the Washington
branch three years ago to accept
a Negro woman graduate of Ober-
lin University as a member. The
association tried to expel the local
branch as a result. but was en-
joined against doing so by District
Court.
The majority of the Washing
ton branch. headed by DR.. Elisa
beth w. Conrad, plan to change
the name Of the local organization.
Mrs. Lyons attended the conven-
ton as a member Of the national
organization. She said she repre-
sented q minority of about 200
members Of the Washington
branch.
Charter Sought.
The minority group, Mrs. Lyons
said. applied for a charter last
year when the national organiza-
ton was trying to expel the WASH
ington branch.
THAT request still stands" she
said. I'VE plan to 60 ahead with
the organization of q separate
branch of the AAUW in Washing
ton"
DR.. Conrad told the Associated
Press after the close Of the con-
vention that her group was not al
lowed to present its side Of the
case.
I'VE came to the convention to
give our side Of the story" she
said, .and we never were given one
moments hearing"

ey Don S. Worren

! A new drive for enlargemen;
OF the new home OF the Bell Vo-
cational School In the old Powell
Junior High School Building was
IN the making today. after Con-
gress cut funds for this project
out Of the 1850 supply bill.
I A Senate proposal for s22s 900
for alterations and expansion OF
the Powell building was dropped
from the regular 1850 fund bill
as 1t was finally approved and
sent to the President for sigma
ture.
| House appropriation spokesmen
said the item was thrown out be-
cause the Commissioners have
never stated whether it Is neces-
sary. They said the funds could
be included In the third deficiency
bill II city authorities say 1t Is
essential.
Imperative, Corning Says.
An immediate reaction came
from School Supt. Hobart M
Corning. He declared the item
to be Of imperative" Importance.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said the Commissioners
would consider the issue Monday
morning In q conference with
school ofiicials.
DR.. Corning noted that some
Of the vocational students still are
housed in an old high school
structure at Seventh and o streets
NV. At stake. also. he said. is
the proper training Of more than
TOO apprenticeship students. who
would be housed in the new Bell
building.
Enlargement Of the new Bell
High home. he said. lis one OF the
most vital projects before US"
Widely Endorsed.
'It is imperative. he added.
that the Bell High be housed and
equipped decently and that stu
dents left in the old Bell Annex
be removed from a building that.
in our judgment. is not habitable
for school use"
The projected improvements at
the new Bell location were in
dorsed by the District Appren-
ticeship Council. the Washington
Building Congress. civic groups
and school officials.
AS finally passed. the 1850 supply
bill calls for an outlay next year
of $102 ,754,447. or $387.706 less
than the original Senate figure
but $3.830.826 above the first
House total. The final total still
was $1,124. 900 below the January
estimates of the Commissioners.
Total May Rise.
And the final total will be
boosted by more than sll 900 900,
If Congress approves pay raise. bills
and other pending legislation to
liberalize city spending.
Officials said a cut In funds for
the Recreation Department would
mean the city would not be able
to operate the Langston terrace
recreation center. This item was
dropped. 1t was said. because the
Public Buildings Administration is
to take over the area temporarily.
