BY GEORGE KENNEDY

On Christmas morning the
milkman failed to show.
Cant say I blame him."
said the Rambler as he
looked out on a perfect pic
ture for a Currier g. Ives
print-"suburban Christmas,
1922
You remember how 1t was
on Christmas Day. 1t had
started showing at 2 am.
over a residue of frozen slush
and puddles from the snow
Of a week before.
Not a wheel had turned in
the court. There wasn't a
track in the street. And the
automobiles were standing in
the driveways-shrouded in
white.
The roofs were white.
Smoke was rising from the
fireplace chimneys and the
odor of wood fires was hang
Ing in the air despite the
constant fall of snowflakes.
The houses were probably
warm inside. They all had
gas furnaces. The wood fire
places are for company or ex-
treme cold. Warm or not the
snow on the roofs had not
melted except for a circle of
bare, black bituminouS shin
giles around the smoking
chimneyS.
He probably had a break
down." said the Rambler,
speaking of the milkman.
There was no cream but
there was about half a pint
of milk left. So he ate his
Irish oatmeal with milk in
stead of cream and enjoyed
it.
"It's the simple things in
life," he reflected. He was
lucky to have milk.
Better stick to milk from
now on" he thought. He had
brought his weight up to 18O
since coming home from the
hospital and that was about
right for him.

house. The big pile Of pack
ages beautifully wrapped in
silver and gold and white
paper with red ribbons in
fantastically looped bows
had been opened the night

childish glee. But adults are
adults.
Come 3 o'clock the family
was still snowbound and
quite contented about it.
Then came the familiar thud
on the door. The Draper boy
from Ivy Circle who delivers
the papers hereabouts had
got through.

Heating Case
Court Rules He Got
inadequate Time
To Follow Code

The landlord accused Of
failing to give his tenants
minimum heat was acquitted
yesterday when a Municipal
Court Judge ruled District Of
ficials had given him insult
ficent time to comply with
building regulations.
Judge Dewitt s. Hyde ruled
that Roscoe Jones, 44-year-old
owner of five-unit apartment
building at 1909 Tenth street
NV, had been given unrea-
sonable time to bring the
buildings heat up to the legal
minimum of SO degrees and
correct a fire alarm system
violation.
He had been given two hours
to comply.
Violations Charged
Mr.. Jones was charged with
violating two sections of the
District housing code by failing
to provide minimum heat and
an internal fire alarm system
in the Tenth street building.
The case came to public at
tention December IL when Mr.,
and Mrs. John Smith and their
three children were forced to
leave their one-room apart
ment in the building after
someone had removed the
doors, windows and gas stove
burners.
"It seems here there is some
thing more involved than an
attempt to enforce building
regulations" Judge Hyde said
at the end of the four-hour
trial.
He said he believed that Dis
trict housing officials had been
put out" at Mr.. Jones for
something he had done. Judge
Hyde ruled that the District
had produced insufficient evi-
dence in a hastily" brought
case against Mr.. Jones.
In giving his ruling, Judge
Hyde said that IF, as has been
suggested but not proven by
evidence, the defendant Mr.
Jones) took the doors and win
dows out of the apartment to
take the law into his own
hands, it was not only wrong
but a highly cruel thing to do"
Judges Views
But" Judge Hyde continued,
every housing enforcement
case requires a. reasonable
length of time to permit q
defendant to conform with
regulations. Never have I seen
one that is on a two-hour
basis"
THE court cannot escape the
conclusion that there is some
effort by the Government to
use enforcement to punish this
defendant for something he did
that shocks the conscience of
housing authorities" Judge
Hyde said.
Mr.. Jones attorney, Mark
Friedlander, charged through
out the trial that his client
already had been tried in the
newspapers because Of the
incident.
He also charged that District
housing inspectors had not
given his client sufficient time
to rectify the complaints. Both
the heating and fire alarm sys-
TENS have been corrected since
complaints were drawn on
December IL.
Mr.. Jones testified the doors.

Smith apartment were re-

said also the Smiths were not
