End Rent
Ceilings
July 37st

Rent controls in East Cleveland
will end July 31st. Neither a pub
lie hearing nor a review of the
question will accompany the expira-
tion Of the control here unless
further federal or state action
should require it.
This decision has been reached
by the East Cleveland City Com
mission following a study of the
newly enacted Congressional mea-
sure which extends an already ex-
tended deadline of April 30th to
July 31st. The 90-day period will
permit the individual states, into
whose laps Congress now tosses the
problem, to set up individual con-
troll measures should circumstances
warrant.
Explaining the decision here,
City Manager Charles A. Carran
issues the following statement:
"In view of the shortness of the
period of the extension of rent
controls voted by Congress, the
East Cleveland City Commission
has decided not to conduct hear
ings or review the question at this
time.
However, it is the unanimous
opinion of the City Commission
that if Congress should subsequent
ly extend controls beyond July 81,
1853, East Cleveland will take ac-
tion to decontrol at the earliest
date possible after July 31st, 1858.
When the first extension date
was made possible by Congress,
East Cleveland held a public hear
ing for landlords and tenants. The
outcome was extension to April 80.
Similar action was taken by the
majority of communities within
Cuyahoga County.

new ordinance. These changes deal
with top municipal problems.
Two major changes - dealing
with vital municipal problems, are
included in the new ordinance.
They deal with rooming houses and
parking.
Rooming houses are being trans
ferred from residential to a busi-
ness zoning. However, as is the
case all through the new Iegisla-
ton, this does not effect present
rooming houses. 1t provides, how
ever, for all such permits granted
after adoption of the new zoning
ordinance.
This transfer of rooming houses
from a residential to a business
zone, adds a further restriction
on the operating of rooming houses
in East Cleveland, City Engineer
Spears points out. 1t will eventual
ly lead to the locating of all room
ing houses in the business zone,
and the preservation of the city's
residential areas.
Explaining further the rooming
house proviso, DR.. Spears points
out that presently existing room
ing houses in residential area
converted into another use cannot
be reconverted into room ing
house. Nor can any private dwell
ing now located in a residential
area receive permit to operate
rooming house.
Parking
Present building regulations re-
quire all new apartment houses to
provide ample off street parking.
The new Zoning ordinance goes
further. 1t requires all new build
ings, apartment, residential, busi-
ness and industrial, to provide
ample off-street parking. The aim
is to relieve traffic congestion and
to make the streets safer for both
vehicles and pedestrians. Major i'm
provements to present buildings
can bring them under this require
ment.
The ordinance sets up a sched-
ule of required parking space ac-
cording to the number of tenants,
or the size of the building.
Loading and unloading is an
other traffic problem. To meet this
situation the new zoning ordinance
will require ample loading and un-
loading space to all future build
ing where such a service will be
an important part of the business
operation. 1t will not effect norm
ally small business establishments.
Another excellent parking regu-
lation is established. 1t should end
the practice of some motorists who
park trucks overnight, or even
over weekends, in strictly residen-
tial areas. The ordinance sets forth
that vehicles which are not nor
mally associated with a particular
use zone cannot be parked there.
The ordinance includes condi-
tional and accessory uses, cuts the
number of use classes and areas
for greater simplicity and lists all
possible and probable uses in the
specific classification.
The five general uses are as
follows:
VI and U2-residential.
Class Residential-Class VI and
W.
Glass U3-Retail.
Class U4-Commercial.
Class U5-Industrial.
These classes cover nine areas.

Short Joins Truman
In Praising Military
As Reply 10 Critics
BY the Associoied Press

An influential Republican
Congressman today backed up
President Truman's defense of
military leaders against most
unfair" criticism for alleged
waste and mismanagement.
In his farewell news confer
ence yesterday, Mr.. Truman said
such attacks by a "few people"
had helped weaken public con-
fidence in the Nations military
commanders"
Reference to Inquiries.
While he did not say so, an
inference widely taken on Capitol
Hill was that he was referring
to congressional committees
which investigated military
spending last session and issued
tart reports.
Representative Short, Republi-
can, of Missouri, chairman -des-
ignate of the House Armed Serv-
ices Committee, said he agreed
with Mr.. Truman. However, two
outgoing Democratic chairmen of
House watchdog" committees
Bonner of North Carolina and
Herbert of Louisiana-said their
searches for military waste and
miSmanagement were under
taken with Mr.. Truman's bless
ing.
Mr.. Truman told his news con-
ference it was easy to criticize
the military because their dis
cipline prevents them from re-
spending to attacks mo matter
how unfair or unjust the
charges.
He added in a prepared state
ment:
Il believe that our military
leaders are doing a tremendous
job and doing it well. I
know of no group of men more
deserving of our respect, graft
tude and support"
Mr.. Short told a reporter:
II agree very much with the
President. The military are per-
haps not as cost conscious as
some agencies, but in the main
they are able, patriotic men,"
Cites Truman Criticism.
Mr.. Bonner, who was chair
man of House expenditures
subcommittee, said its inveStiga-
ton of alleged mismanagement
was approved by Mr.. Truman
and was most charitable" to in
dividual officers.
Mr.. Hebert, who headed an
Armed Services subcommittee
which investigated alleged mill
tary waste, said president Tru-
man : himself has described
the military establishment as the
greatest wastrel in Government" "
