I Baltimore Harbor Hit
By Seagoing Tornado
•y AiiocioUd Prut
BALTIMORE, Aug. 27.—A small
waterspout, described by Weather
| Bureau officials as a seagoing torna
do, swept over Baltimore Harbor
yesterday, but apeared incompletely
developed and dissapated after.
1 knocking over a few sheds in the
water-front district.
Brent Medinger, weather observer,
said the spout developed in the dock
area about 4:28 p.m. (ESTi. The
lower portion of the funnel was
broad, he said, and the black ap
pearance of the spout was probably
attributable to a mixture of rain
i and smoke.
The upper portion of the spoilt
disappeared after 4:35, and by 4:41
the entire funnel was gone.
Heavy hail accompanied the phe
nomenon.
j Sprintering trees, lifting roofs off
several buildings and moving an
] other bodily to a new location, the
waterspout caused comparatively
little damage.
Witnesses said it picked up gaso
line drums, tore the roofs off several
sheds, and lifted an empty jeep at
the Lazaretto Coast Guard station
6 feet into the air, throwing it into
the side of a truck.
A medium-sized, one-story gate
house at the Coast Guard station
was lifted from its foundations and
landed, completely shattered, some
distance away.

it during the war as their appella
tion for a gremlin—"but of the
.female type, of course,” Miss Stires
explained.

Landlords' Profits Rose
Under OPA, Court Declares
iy th* Aiieciatod Prm
NEW YORK. Aug. 27 — Landlords
have been making greater profits
under OPA controls than during pre
war years. The United States Emer
gency Court of Appeals ruled in
denying an application by a New
York landlord for a 15 per cent in
crease in apartment rentals.
Had the increase been granted,
John J. Scofield, regional OPA rent
executive, said yesterday in disclos
ing the court decision, apartment
rentals in the city would have been
increased by $150,000,000 a year.
The court rejected pleas that land
lords were entitled to the increase
..
to pay for repair and maintenance
deferred during the war and to pay
higher wages.
It held that landlords were having
a maximum rate of occupancy, and
that this factor, together with de
creases in certain competitive ex
penditures. was responsible for the
favorable operating position of the
city's landlords,
