F|NG1,OOO ROOMS
FOR WAR WORKERS

Since last Thursday, when an
active combing process for rooms for
war workers was started by the Uni
ted States Homes Registration Serv-
ice, through the instrumentality of
135 soldiers, upward of a thousand
rooms have been registered and are
being made available for renting. A
great many more rooms have been
found, but only on careful investi-
cation of each room, after the soldiers
have registered it, is it placed in the
records OF the registration service.
The soldiers will be used for several
days more probably, and their activ-
titles will be extended to the outlying
districts of Washington so that even
the suburbs will be very carefully
combed for housing space.
On the whole, the reception of the
soldiers by the householders of Wash
ington. according to the statements OF
the soldiers themselves. has been
cordial indeed. The soldiers say that
as soon as they present their case to
the average householder, he immedi-
ately explains the situation in his
house. and whenever possible offers t.
provide one or more rooms for war
workers. In not a few cases, owners
of homes have gone so far as to offer
their rooms free of charge to persons
actually in the employ of the Govern
ment' for the period of the war.
The United States Homes Registra-
ton Service is relying completely on
the patriotism of Washington home
owners. There is no disposition, even
though soldiers are used, to imply the
use of force. There is no threat OF any
kind. The use of soldiers was deem
ed advisable, first. because they rep
resented an organization that could
be Immediately put to work; second, |
because they were trained to do eN-
actly as they were told; and, third. be- |
cause they visualize TO the house |
holder better probably than any other |
branch, the fact that
the opening Of homes is a wartime
necessity.
