BALTIMORE. Jan. 14.-Th,
Federal Government, and prob.
ably State or municipal govern
ments owning housing projects
are not subject to rent control
according to court decision here
Federal Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut ruled yesterday that the con-
temporary rent control act does
not apply to the Federal Govern
ment. Lawyers promptly deducec
that States and cities in the roles
of landlords also are exempt
under the decision.
Judge Chesnut's opinion was
made in a dismissal of injunction
proceedings filed by residents OF
Greenbelt. Md, a United States
housing project.
May Not Seek Injunction.
Not only did the judge rule that
the Federal Government is not
subject to the rent control act
but he held that neither tenants
nor landlords have legal right to
seek an injunction against any
actions under the act.
That right. said the Judge, Is
reserved to the housing expediter

argued that while the original 194l
Rent Control Act included the
various governments as being
subject persons, the 1947 ano
subsequent control acts failed te
mention government.
Not Subject To Later ACT.
Judge Chestnut agreed. 1.-THE
position of the defendant in this
case is legally correct. am, salts
fed that Mr.. Charles M Nc
Cormack PRESIDENT manager at

Act because Of the change of the
word persons from the 1912 Act
Judge Chestnut added that Com
gress Ibid not intend the Govern
ment's management of public
housing to be subject to rent con-
troll. The whole purpose of Con-
gress was to get away from rent
control as we got further away
from the war years"
The Government said during the
hearing that the housing expediter
granted an increase in Greenbelt
rentals to make them comparable
to similar private housing levies.

Hiss Prosecutor Rips
Into Psychologists
Opinion Of Chambers
By the Associoted Press


NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-For the
second time this week a Govern.
ment prosecutor matched wit.
with a trained mental expert over
the fate of Alger Hiss.
The Psychologist, DR.. Henry A
Murray, has described Mr.. Hiss
chief accuser. Whitaker Cham.
bers. as a psychopathic and g
chronic liar.
Doctor, would you describe
your personality as normal?
asked the prosecutor, Assistant
United States Attorney Thomas F
Murphy, as he launched his cross
examination yesterday.
Relatively" replied DR.. Muir.
ray.
There is no such thing as nor
NAL" Mr.. Murphy added.
Then the attorney began point
by point to try to refute DR.
Murray's description of Mr.
ISldWDerS.
Personal Characteristics Attacked
1t was the same chore the
prosecutor undertook a few days
ago with DR.. Carl Binger, a psy-
chiatrist, who also analyzed Mr
Chambers.
Mr.. Chambers, one time Soviet
spy ring courier, is the corner
stone of the Governments perjury
case against Mr.. Hiss.
He testified that Mr.. Hiss gave
him State Department secrets
before the war when Mr.. Hiss
was a rising young official in the
department.
When Mr.. Hiss denied this
charge. he was indicted for per-
jury. His first trial ended last
July in a hung jury.
AS he did with DR.. Binger. Mr.
Murphy brought out some of DR.
Murray's personal characteristics
and flung them at the witness for
analysis.
Said Mr.. Murphy:
Would 1t be of any significance
to you. If you noticed that a SUBJ
Ject's mouth twitched, that his
eyes opened and closed, that he
had excessive hand gestures, that
he played with his watch chain
and his glasses and his nose, that
he turned his head constantly and
breathed heavily through his nose
would that have any significance
to you?"
Whole Personality Considered.
mo. SIR" replied DR.. Murray
But he added:
THE intensity of these gestures
would be of some Importance
when considered with the per-
sonality of the individual as q
whole"
Mr.. Murphy, in his point-by-
point discussion of symptoms
ascribed to Mr.. Chambers, told
DR.. Murray:
What I am trying to prove
DR.. Murray. is that, if there are
], ZOO symptoms and If a doctor
attaches zero to each symptom, q
thousand zeros equal zero no mat
ter how many times you add
them up"
