D. C. Tenants Counter
Request tor Rent Rise;
Ask They Be Lowered
While tenants worried about their
! lent being raised as a result of van
ished OPA controls throughout much
of the Nation, occupants of apart
ments in Falkstone Courts, 1401
Fairmont street N.W., today coun
tered a move for higher rents by
their landlord with a demand that
they be reduced.
Signing of a bill by President Tru
man Saturday extending rent con
trol in the District until December
31, 1947. placed District renters in
the enviable position of one of the
few population groups in the Nation
who are protected by agencies to fix
rent ceilings.
Hearings on the application of
Bliss Properties for rent raises of
$50 a month to $67 a month for
three-room apartments and from
$100 present rental for others to a
$116.50 level were begun by Rent
Control Administrator Examiner
Ernest Williams today.
Counsel for Bliss properties, who
is former Assistant United States;
Attorney John J. Wilson, said cap
ital expenditures of approximately
$15,000 since the rent-freeze date
January 1, 1941, plus increased
salaries of employes, were the basis
of the application for higher rents.
Counsel for a majority of the 78
tenants filed a motion to dismiss
the landlord's petition, claiming that
in the case of furnished apart
ments 'all rents should be reduced
to an amount in accordance with the
compensation received by the land
lord for the use of the furniture."
The Bliss properties application
asks aggregate increase in monthly
rentals of $1,269. The agregate
monthly rental now is $5,398.50.
Representing tenants are Jacob
N. Halper and Thomas C. Scalley.
Many of the tenants have lived in;
the apartment building for periods,
as long as 30 years.

Habeas Corpus Action
Filed for Youth Held
In Degnan Slaying
By the Associated Presi
CHICAGO, July 1.—Attorneys for
William Heirens, whose finger
prints, State’s Attorney William J.
Tuohy said, match one on the Su
zanne Degnan kidnap note, sought
to obtain the release of the 17-year
old University of Chicago student
from police custody today.
A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was filed with the clerk of
the Cook County (Chicago) Crim
inal Court and was expected to be
heard by Chief Justice Harold G.
Ward later today. Heirens has been
held without charge since last week,
when he was arrested, according to
police, while prowling in an apart
ment.
Under habeas corpus proceedings
the State is required to charge him
formally with a crime or to demon
strate to the court that it has suf
ficient grounds to hold him for ad
ditional investigation.
Mr. Tuohy said Heirens at first
had been enacting a "pose and
sham" 01 delirium, but had dropped
this benavior and talked to investi
gators
Makes No Confession.

tal early today after questioning the
6-foot, 185-pound youth for more
than five hours, Mr. Tuohy said "at
no time did he (Heirens) make a
confession, either of the Degnan
case or any other crime of which he
stands accused, except that of last
Wednesday in which he was
caught.”
In the young student’s room on
the university campus police found
several suitcases filled with what
Mr. Tuohy said was the loot from
many burglaries. He said much of
the loot had been traced to bur
glaries in the neighborhood of the
Degnan heme.
Until today, Mr. Tuohy said.
Heirens had sought to evade ques
tions by hiding behind what the
State's attorney termed a wali of
"shammed delirium.’
Explains Articles.
After agreeing to answer ques
tions, Mr. Tuohy said, Heirens as
serted he had committed no crimes
other than the one in which he was
captured. Mr. Tuohy said Heirens
explained the stolen articles found
in his room by saying they were
given him by a friend whose where
abouts he did not know.
Mr. .Tuohv said Heiiens gave in
vestigators three samples of his
handwriting. These, Mr. Tuohy
said, would be given handwriting
experts for comparison with the
Degnan ransom note.
Heirens was given a lie detector
test yesterday. Mr. Tuohy said the
| test had proved “futile.”
The Degnan child, 6-year-old
I daughter of James Degnan, former
! OPA official, was taken from hei
! bed January 7. Later the same day
police recovered parts of her body
! from four sewers within a two-block
radius of the Degnan home.

U.5. Employes Get
14 Per Cent Increase
In Wage Rates Today
Government workers had their pay
rates increased 14 per cent today—
the first day of the new fiscal year.
The change In rate came on the
same day that OPA price ceilings
lost legal force.
The 14 per cent Increase was voted
by Congress several weeks ago after
a fight of many months.
The increase put the Government
workers’ pay just a little ahead of
the official increase in the cost of
living and is the second the Govern
ment workers have received since
Pearl Harbor. Last summer they got
an increase of 15.9 per cent.
Today’s increase brings the overall
increase since Pearl Harbor to 32.1
per cent.
The increase in the cost of living
in Washington since January, 1941.
as charted by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, is 31.4 per cent.
The BLS figure is protested by em
ploye representatives as too low.
They say it fails to take into account
1 the near disappearance of low
i priced goods from the stores, forc
i ing people to buy more expensive
i types of articles.
British Radio Listeners
Hear Only Metronome
• y the Astorioted Prtsi
LONDON, July 1.—Millions of
Britons, who sat by their radios last
night in hopes of hearing the re
verberations of the atom bomb
blast at Bikini heard only the tick
ing of a metronome, the reception
of whicn was described by a BBC
official as "very wooly, indeed."
Atmospherics interfered with
voice reception and shortly before
"A” hour BBC announced it was
substituting a program of music
"until reception from the Pacific be
comes intelligible.”
The Pacific broadcast was switch
ed back on just as a commentator
was describing the column of smoke
rising over Bikini following the
bomb blast.
London morning papers featured
front page stories on the bomb test.
Some of the headlines read: Dally
Mail—“United States Navy chiefs
say atom bomb is debunked”: Ex
press—“Bomb: near miss”; News
Chronicle — "Fourth atom bomb
drops on Bikini Lagoon, target. Bat
tleship regains afloat”; Daily
Herald—"Atom fleet is still afloat
after bomb.”
The Times declared editorially:
"A tremendous moral choice has to
be faced * * * the world has to
stage its future as never before
upon creation of a co-operative
peace.'

Schwellenbach Urges
Unions to Restrain
Wage Demands Now
Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach
today urged labor unions through
out the country to exercise restraint
in making any immediate demands
in the present unsettled condition
of national economy
In a press conference at the
Labor Department, the secretary de
clared It would be hard to predict
how long this period of restraint
should last, but said he thought it
ought to continue at least until
Congress has acted on price legis
lation and for "a reasonable time
after that,” in order to give the Gov
ernment time to work out a co
ordinated wage-price program.
Meanwhile, William Green, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, speaking before a House la
bor subcommittee today, accused
Congress of having "burned the only
bridge of stable transition to peace
ful and uninterrupted full post-war
production.”
tu-.nan joint committee.
On the Senate side, Senator Hill
of Alabama, the Democratic whip,
predicted the Senate Labor Com
mittee will approve a measure this
week establishing a 10-member
Senate-House committee to act on
President Truman’s suggestion for a
thorough survey of union-manage
ment relations before any congres
sional action on labor legislation.
“As Secretary of Labor,” said Mr.
Schwellenbach, “I urge labor unions
and the members of labor unions to
exercise restraint during this short
period when the price control policy
of the Government is undetermined.
“As a practical matter, it is now
impossible for either management
or labor to attempt to negotiate
wage agreements, as such agree
ments contemplate the relationship
of the cost of living. For labor
unions now to make wage demands
in face of the unsettled conditions
would only add to the confusion.
Pleads Against Hasty Action.
‘■y both management and labor
avoid hasty action in this period."
the Secretary pointed out, “nation
al policies can be worked out which
will produce an adequate measure
of stabilization.”
By passing a price-control bill
which “effectively and completely
scuttles price control,” Mr. Green
told the subcommittee. Congress
"has shown a disregard for the
welfare of the community as a
whole.”
Mr. Green referred to thfc price
control bill vetoed Saturday by
President Truman while discussing
with the committee the general
labor situation.
As major causes of disruption of
: labor-management relations in re
cent months, Mr. Green listed low
ered buying power, “unwise, unwar
ranted and improper intervention
I of the Government,” and “increas
' ing refusal on the part of the em
; ployers to engage in genuine ccl
i lective bargaining and reach a fair
| agreement.”
Auto Men Go to Detroit
On New Nonstop Flight
A group of 30 District area auto
mobile dealer executives left Na
tional Airport at 9:25 a.m. today
on the first of Capital Airlines-PCA
new nonstop flights to the Detroit
area, using the airlines’ huge four
motored 4-mile-a-minute Capita
liners.
Headed by F. T. Ueltzen, Kaiser
Frazer representative in this region,
the group will attend a conference
at the company's plant and general
offices and witness production of the
postwar cars. The executives wij’
board another Capitaliner at 6 p.m
today at the Willow Run Airport
for the return flight.
DID YOU KNOW THAT Washington
boasts the highest pei capita income
of any city in the country? And that
Washington's transit employes now are
among the highest paid in the entire
UJS.A.?
Something more to crow about
Add NOW to Washington's high living standard this further bit of new*:
transit employes here get larger pay envelopes than almost anywhere else.
Recent arbitration awards and an added increase of 6c per hour just
agreed upon and presented to the Wage Stabilization Board for approval
put Capital Transit workers in this enviable wage "bracket". Since
January, 1941, their base hourly rate has increased 52%.
This tremendous change is welcomed by them naturally, yet it presents
problems to your transit company.
Since January, we have added almost 2 million vehicle miles to our service
and plan to add 8 million more vehicle miles to bring your service to peace
time standards. The extra miles and additional routes necessary to achieve
this goal mean greater expense with little if any increase in income.
With this combination of higher wage payments and increased expen
diture for service, it becomes more and more difficult to make ends meet.
We are anxious that you understand the situation. Surely you want transit
service that is second to none .. . and transit workers who are well paid.
