The PW article does not elucidate what terms the companies are squabbling about. Does anyone know?

Uncle Frank and Auntie Nellie were renting a house from Uncle Sid and Auntie Margaret.  There was a blow up over a dog, a rosebush, or possibly some rent.  It's a bit hard to know exactly, because it was in 1940 something and all the players are long dead.  At a family reunion in the 80's, we decided that the family rift could be healed since no one remembered the exact details anymore. 

So, my bet is this is that damned dog and rosebush again.
