FRENCH COUIHI‘ BEFUSES T0 oust TENANT or FOREIGNER PARIS, March 'l.-Tlle Frenchvrcnt court recently held that foreigner: are not entitled to the same protec- tion as the French under thc rent laws. ' The court made its decision in denying Paul Rockwell's suit to get possession of a. house he bought six years ago. The tenant, whose lcasc had expired, refused to vacate, as- serting that a. Frenchman could not be ousted by a foreigner. Rockwell is a citizen of the United States. This is the fourth time the suit had been tried in six years, Rockwell los- ing each time bllt renewing his pleu that. foreigners were guaranteed equal treatment with the French under tlle Franco-American convention of 1853. Bis latest suit, the first brought by l. foreigner before the newly in- stituted rent court, was filled after Premier Brtand last July had issued a circular contending that. the courts should recognize that the similar treaties with other countries. Rockwell's case will be appealed. It was described as a test case by the opposition attorney, who said he leafed that French Judicial independ- ence was endangered by the pressure of foreign embassies. He pictured Rock as n speculatnr who had taken advantage of the low value of the franc to buy a house at a price "tno high for a Frenchman but a ccme mill a great rush securing first and wrong pzsitions Tespec- Lively.
