Murphtf, In serious condition from t heart attack, vowed today to carry on his fight against federal rent controls "even from a sick bed." Murphy, spearheading a widespread wide-spread drive to evict tenants from their homes and keep housing vacant, collapsed in his office late yesterday and was taken to his home. Meanwhile, federal rent direc- tor Tighe E. Woods said in Washington Wash-ington that the government would take court action against landlords land-lords who try to oust "innocent people."

Suffers Heart Attack A doctor said that Murphy is suffering from angina pectoris, a heart ailment, caused by gall bladder and liver trouble. The heart attack was caused by overexertion, over-exertion, the doctor said. Murphy, who describes himself as ."above middle age, returned to his office only Wednesday after spending eight weeks at home following fol-lowing a heart attack. But in the brief time since his return to his desk, the retired Baptist minister found himself the subject of nationwide com ment after the Tulsa Property Owners association sent 60-day eviction notices to more than 1,000 families. Murphy is executive secretary sec-retary of the association. As a result of the Tulsa action, landlords in seven large cities are considering evicting more than 20,000 families to take their property prop-erty off the rental market. C. E. Marshall, Tulsa area rent director, said that only three tenants ten-ants had responded to his request that all eviction notices be reported re-ported to him. Veterans Orranlzinr Late developments in the case centered in Kansas City, where the American veterans committee said it would .send its southwest regional chairman to Washington to fight landlords' attempt to end all rent controls. The Kansas City Property Owners Own-ers association voted unanimously to support the "Tulsa plan" of maes evictions. About 150 members mem-bers said they would mail 60-day eviction notices to more than 2,000 tenants today. Association President Edward A. Moyle said that 80 apartment buildings are standing idle in Kansas City. He said the owners took them off the rental market because the units could not be operated at a profit. But the Kansas "City associa tion itself became the subject of Rent Oklahoma an apparent object lesson on hous ing and rentals. The association rents space in the Unitarian church for its meetings. meet-ings. Last night the church raised the rent 1,000 per cent from $10 to $100 a meeting. Church officials offi-cials did not say so in so many words, but they left no doubt that the rent boost stemmed from the landlords' plan to evict tenants.
