BUILDER READY
To GUT RENTS
FOR D. c.

A proposal for the erection OF
apartment houses for Government
| employees exclusively, to be rented
| or sold to tenants without profit
| to the builders at figures which, II
is estimated, would cut present
housing costs from one-third to one
half. was formally preached to rep
resentatives of all Government de
partmentS today at the instance oil
Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover.
Twenty-three Government depart
ments were represented at meet.
ing in the Department Of Commerce
Building today, at which E. w.
Libby, chief clerk of the depart.
ment, outlined the proposition on
behalf Of Secretary Hoover, as
follows:
A IMAM of standing in the COM
munityS' whose name Hoover is
not ready to diyulge, is prepared to
erect the apartment houses, under
certain conditions, ito relieve the
needs of Federal employees and to
carry out the transaction in the
sense of public ser 7ice.''

teller, jr.
Public Service IL Aim
The formal announcement to the
Government employees stated that
from the character of the princi-
pals and their undoubted objective
of public service, the plan offers an
opportunity for relieving the high
rent charges to public employees.
Libby supplemented this with the
statement that the rent problem is
now probab bly, the greatest economic
problem of Government workers in
Washington.
The meeting today was to inaugu-
rate a census OF Government work
ers that might give some idea OF
the demand for such apartments. It
was stated that sponsors of the
plan would have to know with some
degree of definiteness what the de-
mand would be before the project
could be carried further.
Accordingly, each department OF
the Government was furnished with
blanks, asking each interested EN-.
ploye what size apartment he or
she might want under the plan.
and whether the purchase or rental
basis was preferred.
Representatives Of the depart
ments at today's meeting will ex.
plain the plan to their fellow work
ers. Another meeting will be called
after the present census has pro-
crossed. +-s

EASTMAN. N. Y, July 29.-Rain
caused a postponement of the morn
ing matches today in the Maidstone
tournament, in which Miss Helen
Wills, national tennis champion, is
makeing her return to the courts
following her operation in Paris.
Pitted against Mrs. Edward Ray
mond Of New York in the first round
Wednesday, the national Iomen's
singles champion had little trouble
winning in straight sets, 6-1, GA.
Had Helen felt it necessary to ex-
tend herself, Mrs. Raymond would
mot have scored a game.
Certainly Helen's performance on
Wednesday left little room for doubt
that she son would be her old un-
beatable self again. On the few
occasions when she was called upon
to extend herself, the national cham
pion displayed a fleetness Of foot and
accuracy of stroking reminiscent Of
the past few years when she. tri-
umphed at Forest Hills.
What was most important to her
admirers and to Helen, she left the
court feeling no touch Of exhaus,
ton such as might have been ex.
pected.
Tennis experts, and there were
plenty present to watch her play on
Wednesday, predicted that she Ger.
tainly would be national champion
again this year.
