pom upon which the name of the
handicapped boy or girl together
with his or her address and the va
riety of the outing favored. These
coupons may be mailed either to
the Elks Building in Madison ave-
nue. or to the Evening News office.
Although a space is to be found
on the coupon published in the
News today to show the place pre-
ferred by each child for the outing,
the committee points out that some
location within reasonable distance
must be selected and suggests that
the children consider this in filling
out the coupon.
The date for the outing has not
been definitely decided upon as yet
as it will depend upon the place Sc
lected for the days picnic. Tren-
ton Elks conducted an outing
with wonderful success, the early
part of this month. Six hundred and
ninety children were taken on a boat
ride down the Delaware to Island
Beach where they had the time of
their young lives.

HOUSING BOARD /,
!. AROUSED OVER
RENT HOG Def
Brigham Statement UNFOLDING
High Prices Stirs Other
Members.

A silt in the citizens housing
commffee loomed today. following
publication in Yesterdays Times Of
an article based on a statame mt given
out from the committee headuuar-
ters by the chairman, Mrs. Ell A.
Helmick.
The statement was q vigorous de-
fense OF rent hogs. land hogs, and
profiteers and a plea that Washing
ton does not want to return TO pre-
war level in rents.
Mrs. Helmick today declared the
statement was prepared by Harry r.
Brigham, of Boston, whose appoint
ment on the committee was bitt erly
contested by certain merabers. Brig
ham is associated with the National
Real Estate Board.
Only Brigham's Opinion.
1.-The statement was not one that
expressed the sentiments Of the en-
tire housing committee, but merely
the opinion of Mr.. Brigham, one Of
the members" Mrs. IIclnick said
today.
Capt. julius l. Peyser, member
of the committee and chairman Of
the committee on committees, de-
manded that "Mr. Brigham return
to Massachusetts,, where they used
to burn witches at the stake. and
let Washington settle her own
housing problems.
"If It is the sense OF the COM
mittee that we are to fight for
high rents and profiteering, then
will resign" Captain Peyser de-
clared. II will not serve with a
committee that follows any such
policy.
"Such a statement should never
have been given out by the chair
man of the committee, nor by any
other member. l was chairman OF
the committee on committees, and
i knew that we named no subcom.
mittee whose duty 1t was to give
out any such statement"
Peyser Wants Explanation.
Captain Peyser said ne would go
TO Mrs. Helmick and ask for an
explanation. Her statement to him,
he said, would determine whether
or not he would tender his resigna-
ton.
Mrs. Helmick admitted she had
said that "the statement will make
good material for an article" but
declared II was not to be construed
as being the sentiment of the entire
committee.
Several members of the committee
called Mrs. Helmick today over the
telephone and asked for an explana-
tion. Others called Major Dan Dono-
van, secretary of the committee, and
indicated they would have nothing
more to do with the committee.
They consented. however, to delay
their action until they were satisfied
of the intent OF the statement.
The civilian commissioners of the
District expressed surprise at the
statement. but had no other com
ment TO make.
