CLERGY URGES
OPENED HOMES
Pastors of Capital Call Up
on Patriots to Help
Housing Plan

Washington clergymen have been re-
auested by the housing authorities in
the city to appeal to the patriotism
and sense OF duty OF their parishioners
to open their homes to the war
workers.
A letter signed by James Ford,
manager of the Homes Registration
Of the Bureau of Industrial Housing
and Transportation. and Edwin s.
Hege. director OF room registration Of
the District Council OF Defense, fol-
lows:
Facing Serious Shortage.
"All departments Of the United
States government in Washington are
facing a serious situation in regard
10 shortage OF clerical help. 1t Is
directly due to war workers OF this
type being unable to ind housing
facilities in the city or nearby
suburbs.
Under construction. to be finished
in December. are dormitories and
apartment buildings capable of hous-
ing 5000 workers. Other works are
contemplated and will be Under way
shortly. By the time these are ready
for occupancy II is altogether prob
tween now and then will be sufficient
to fll them without doing a great deal
to relieve the situation.
We must have rooms comfortable,
clean and homelike. particularly for
the women war workers. II should be
regarded as a patriotic duty by every
Washington householder to rent a
room to some one engaged in war
work, even II to do so requires a
sacrifice OF personal convenience.
Must House Women.
The greatest difficulty is found in
providing housing facilities for the
women war workers. This war can
not he won without wOmen's work.
and women cannot work unless they
are surrounded by proper living con-
ditions Many of these women and
girls have come to Washington, leav-
ing good homes and employment pay
ing much more than they are receiv-
ing here, and at a sacrifice of personal
resources They have been stimulated
by a real desire to do something
toward winning the war and most
certainly are. in helping take over
81 part Of the clerical work in this
city.
We ask YOU kindly bring before
your congregation at next Sundays
service the necessity OF opening up
Washington homes to war workers
particularly women and girls. 1t
is essentially important that the
best homes open their doors. for it
is obviously the part of wisdom to
make the surroundings as wholesome
and hOmeIike as possible Visualize
to your congregation what their feel
ings would were their wives or
daughters here in Washington under
similar circumstances.
The situation is fraught with all
sorts Of serious consequences. for war
work cannot he presented unless
Washington IS funCtiOning efficiently.
Washington cannot function efficiently
unless it has plenty of clerical assis
tants and il will not get plenty of
clerical assistants unless such workers
can 6nd wholesome places in which to
live at reasonable rental. This is
real war work. essential and impera-
tive.

G. 0. P. LEADER
MAKES APPEAL
Rep. Fess Urges Republican
Congress to Support
Administration.

The Republicans will wage a vigor-
Gus contest TO capture control of the
next Congress upon the plea that they
can render more effective service TO
the President than can a Senate and
House of the Presidents own party.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Representative Fess. of Ohio,
newly elected chairman of the ReDub-
lican Congressional Committee.
II shall endeavor to secure Repub-
lican control as the most important
single factor before us that we may
vigorously prosecute the war, give
greater assurance OF a conclusive
peace and insure speedy reconstruc-
ton on a normal basis. with the
greatest good to ALL" reads the state
ment.
Points Out Record.
Mr.. Fess points to the record Of the
Republicans in Congress. particularly
to their support OF administration
measures, such as the draft law.
which were carried through over the
opposition of leaders of the majority
party.
when after months OF halting hesi-
tation. a state of war was declared"
the statement says, "and program
of preparation was decided upon. Re-
publicans lined up beside the admin

make the nation effective in the

party, which i'm legislation is granted
