No Stamp 0n llent Cheque. Will Be Eviclell

TORONTO, May 12- (C?)- Courlty Court Judge T. H. Barton today approved the eviction of a Toronto woman from her rented home because she sent a stamp- less rent cheque to her landlord. ‘

In a written judgment. believed unprecedented in tenant-landlord history, Judge Barton upheld the eviction of Mrs. Lillian Baxter be- cause she failed to place a three- cent stamp on the cheque she sent to her landlord.

It was not immediately known if she would appeal the ruling.

Mrs. Baxter testified that on Feb. 12 she sent her 28-year-old son Clif- ford to the home of Frank Hons- berger, her landlord. with a cheque for hrr February rent and three cents (‘or a stamp. The son claimed he dcllvered the cheque and money to Mrs. Lillian Brov‘ who lived at the landlord's resicence. Mrs. Brown denied receiving the three cents.

~The landlord, contending the February rent was not paid, ap- glied for possession of the North-

entral Toronto premises from Mrs. Baxter,

The judgment said:

"The special War Revenue Act .. .. .. and amendments thereto, pro- hibits a bank from paying a cheque unless there is affixed thereto an adhesive starnp.. ."

Reds K_eep Dontrol Dver Exports

By Thomas A. Reedy

BERIJN. May ll2 —- (AP) American officials said today a Russian "joker" apparently has turned up in the Big-Four agree- ment which resulted in the re- movai of the blockades in Germany.

Land traffic flowed smoothly into Western Berlin with the lift- ing this morning of Soviet barriers established last June. The people celebrated.

As the day progressed, however. it became clear the Russians would not pemit German trucks l0 leave this city for the western zones of Germany without either a Russian stamp or one from the Soviet- backed German eastern economic branch. Western Berlin is separat- ed from the rest of western-oc- cupied Germany by 100 miles of Soviet-controlled territory.

If Soviet authorities enforce their claim to authority over West- ern Berlixfs exports they could keep 2,000,000 residents of the American. British and French sectors of the city on a basis of "virtual charity," said Brig-Gen. Frank L. Howley, American com- mandant here. He declared West- ern Berlin "must export to the west to live" and added:

"The American and British air lift can meet any emergency now —- it can keep some exports moving out — but the air lift isn't intend- ed to go on forever."

Howley said the west was stung in the deal with the Russians.

Despite this seeming hitch, $0,- 000 Berliners poured out of their
