FIVE REFORMS

Denver and San Francisco! Don’t Back ‘Strike.’

By UNITED PRESS Seattle apartment house owners urged a nationwide landlords’ strike today unless a five-point rent relief program is adopted. However, a report that landlords in Denver, Colo, had joined the strike, met denials by both the OPA and apartment owners. In San Francisco, Hugh McKevitt, | president of the Apartment House Owners’ and Managers’ association, termed the Seattle strike a “millionaire's gesture,” and said there was little likelihood of it spreading there. Harry T. Williams, secretarytreasurer of the Seattle Apartment Operators’ association, announced that the program will be presented in the form“ of a resolution to the National Apartment House Owners’ association convention at Oklahoma City, Nov. 18 and 19. “Prices go up, laborers. strike, farmers hold out their cattle and everybody gains consideration except property owners, who are getting madder and madder at these OPA injustices,” Mr. Williams said. Mr. Willlams said he would ask| the national association “to focus| public opinion on the justice of our) demands by withholding from the| rental market all units as they be-| come vacant until the requested re-| lief is granted.” Mr. Williams said the landlords recognize the need for continued | rent controls. They will ask, how- | ever, that they be allowed to raise rents in certain instances “without going through the office of price ad- | ministration red tape method.” Urge Immediate Adjustment

He listed the five points as: | ONE: Local rent directors must be 3 given powers to adjust obvious injustices or inequities immediately, instead of waiting “six months or more.” ; { TWO: Rental adjustments must be made where necessary to offset increased costs of operation and increased taxes. THREE: The right of the property owner to seek relief in state courts must be restored. Mr. wil | llams charged that landlords, as such, are barred from “any court in the land except in the role of defendant.”

Wants Only Rents Controlled

FOUR: Control of apartmepgts must be restored to the owner'in | every particular excepting ceiling |rents. FIVE: Rent Increases for improvements in furnishing vacated juntis or increased services must be {immediately ‘effective upon filing of a petition with proper. authorities, “instead of waiting from five to 18 months for an OPA decision.” A “landlords’ strike’ was instituted in Seattle Tuesday by two groups of owners who control 21,200 apartments. The move had the support of other property owners in

RUSSIANS TRY NEW ANTI-CANCER DRUG

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2¢ (U. P. 2A high ranking Russian medical authority has reported “good results” from experimental treatment of some types of cancer in human

beings with a new drug known as

K-R. Dr. Vassily V. Parin, secretary general of the Soviet academy of medical sciences, described the Russian experiments but warned they do not mean “the problem of cancer is solved.” About 40 or 50 persons ‘who did not respond to conventional cancer treatment have been given injec’ tions of K-R in recent months, he said. These experiments have shown good results in some cases of breast and skin cancer, he said, but disappointing results in cases of in-

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Oct. 24 (U, P.) —Like testimonial banquets the world over, the dinner of 200 tognsmen in nearby Orio began in a flurry of platitudes and praise for the local rowing team, champion oarsmen of northern Spain, It ended in tumult, arrival of a police riot squad and a stand-up vote on the popularity of Generalissimo Francisco Franco. Franco won. A speaker from the Orio city hall astounded the banquet with a flery defense of Basque “nationalism and separatism. The oar-pullers were forgotten in the subsequent shouting. - Councilman Mugaburi of San Sebastian rose in reply, “As far as the Orio oarsmen are concerned, there is only one real champion of

Spain, That is Generalissimo Franco.” ig
