10 Ignore
D. {. Rent Decision

A District landlord today an
nounced he would ignore ruling
fixing a SITS ceiling on house
he has rented for $3.50.
The landlord is Kirk Miller,
\ public relations counsel who
lives at 3515 S street NV. The
house involved IN the rent squab-
BILE is located at 2120 Tunlaw
road NV.
Mr.. Miller said he has written
Robert F. Cogswell, District Rent
Control administrator, of his in
tention. Mr.. Cogswell said today
he had not yet received the letter
and would withhold comment un-
til it had reached him.
The landlord said he had fur
nished the house at cost of
$4,000 and contends that should
out the dwelling in the category
If new housing" and thus remove
It from rent control.
He said he based this conten-
ion on his understanding that
courts have interpreted such a
change as constituting new hous-
ing"
A rent control Office spokesman
commented informally on Mr..
Miller's letter as follows:
Under his Interpretation, If
every landlord furnished his rent
al units, that would be the end

A three-judge Federal court to-
day has under advisement a plea
to set aside an Interstate Com
merce Commission decision per-
mitting the White House Sight

lie necessity for such service ano
that A. B. g. w. furnish regular
service in areas sought to be
served by the White House Line
J. Ninian Beall, attorney fol

asking only for permission to use
larger limousines and buses to
collect passengers from Virginia
and Maryland tourist camps and
to bring them to Washington for
guided tours.

Meats,
Canned Juices Drop
Al Some Stores Here

Decreases in some grocery
prices are helping Washington
homemakers stretch their budg-
cts little, a survey showed to-
day.
Price reductions were reported
in several District area chains on
a number of items. Higher-priced
meat cuts also are selling below
ceiling at many butcher counters.
Buyer resistance was a major
factor credited by store Spokes-
men for the reductions. Some
items also can be repalced now
for less than costs a few months
ago. they pointed out.
Citrus Juice Down.
Among items reported reduced
in price in the last few days
are canned citrus juices. may
onnaise and salad dressing, shor-
tening and soap products.
One store official reported
canned citrus juice has not been
selling much because of compe-
tition with frozen concentrates.
Reductions have dropped the
canned variety in this chain be-
low cost.
Another spokesman commented
that consumers who stocked UP
in a rush during the Korean scare
last year now are buying at nor
NAL or below normal levels.
Steaks Fluctuate.
On the meat side, beef, steaks
and roasts have been f1uctuating
in recent weeks, depending on de-
mand, but lower-priced cuts are
generally at ceiling since demand
is greater.
One chain this week is selling
sirloin steaks at SO cents, or Is
cents below ceiling.
Major packing houses reported
the beef supply far below normal
One packed said he is allocating to
his customers at about 25 per cent
of the level for this period. last
year. But stores apparently are
keeping up with reduced demand.
The first spring lamb began to
trickle into the markets this week,
although in quantities smaller
than normal. Pork was reported
very scarce.

Barrett AssaiIs
Trial Delays in
Municipal Court
Policemen Are Kept
From Petrol Duty,
D. c. Heads Told

Police Chief Robert j. Barrett
complained to the Commissioners
today about a tieup of policemen
in Municipal Court yesterday be-
cause of trial delays.
Mai. Barrett said the lookup
cases were not completely heard
until $3.50 pm.
He gave this recapitulation:
There were 1874 lookup cases to
be tried in the District of Colum-
bia branch of the court. Because
of the absence of some judges on
summer vacation, Judge Aubrey
B. Fennell was assigned to the
court.
Judge Howard Assists.
The court was convened at 10
am. Judge Andrew j. Howard,
assigned to the jury branch, was
able to assist until noon taking
cases from the First Precinct in
another courtroom.
At II am. Judge Fennell ad-
journed court until LAS pm. with
112 prisoners awaiting trial
Judge Howard continued trying
cases until noon, at which time
there were 10 prisoners awaiting
trial.
Judge Fennel convened court
again at 2 pm. assisted by Judge
Mary c. Balow. The cases finally
were completed at $3.50 pm.
Mai. Barrett said these condi.
tions created a hardship on many
members of his department ane
meant the loss of many police
man-hours from patrol of the
streets.
Long Hours in Court.
Policemen working the mid.
night tour of duty were not re.
leased from court until noon, hi
said, and many members working
from 4 pm. to midnight stayed
in court until they had to report
for new tour of duty.
Maj. Barrett reported also that
he understood Judge Fennell was
dismisSing drunk cases arrested or
public parkings or on steps in
front of buildings on public space
on grounds the defendants were
taken from. private property.
He told the Commissioners the
department receives many calls
about drunks lying ON steps and
on the parking along the side
walks and his men are required to
remove them.
