DELAY BLAMED
ON CAUTION
Of FERA.
City Heads in POther Cannot
Agree on Financing Plans;
Allen Backs Proposal
BY EARL GOODWIN


In the PWA war chest there
is q little item Of 5000. 900 put
away for housing purposes in
the District of Columbia: some
thing with which the District
Commissioners could erect row
after row Of neat little brick cot.
tageS or apartments for people
who want to rent homes for
shout SIS a month.
This money has stayed there 50
long that there is q layer Of dust
upon it, but it may be taken out
and turned over to COMMISSIONS
George E. Allen as the financial
support Of his housing scheme,
about which so much was said six
weeks ago.
FERA Fears Trickery
The fact that nothing has been
said recently about the compre-
hensive plan for the District
government to enter the housing
business on o large scale Is be-
cause FERA officials have been
stepping very cautiously along
this line. They find that many
times a definite rehabilitation or
cooperative plan is put up to
the Government for the purpose
of selling off some private
property.
A canning cooperative, for In
stance, is sometimes put forward
to get rid Of q row Of cannerieS
which have not been paying
dividends lately; and because the
FERA appears to be thin skin
ned on public criticism, the prog
reSs toward rehabilitation through
cooperative enterprises is NOV
ing slowly. So Commissioner
Allen has not been pressing the
FERA for an answer to his re-
quest to finance the District Re
habilitation Corporation, but he
has been casting about to find
out just how his housing plan
can be financed in case the
FERA declines.
Fund Backs Plan
This Is where the $4,000. 900 in
the PWA petty cash box comes IN.
Only o few days ago New York
newspapers were abla1e with the
news that Secretary Ickes and the
New York city government are al
most ut an agreement in the mat
ter Of q PWA housing loan Of $685.
600, 900 for New York city. This,
by the way, was the thing that
brought Mayor LaGuardia here
to Washington to see Mr.. Ickes q
few days after Mr.. LaGuardia had
been elected mayor and before he
had taken office.
The fact that 80 many weeks
have elapsed in the New York case
should reaSSure those who are hop
ing for q PWA or Federal loan for
housing In the District Of Colum-
bia.
Loan Held Unlikely
However, it is fairly well indi.
Gated at the District Building that
the District Commissioners will
not ask the PWA for q housing
loan.
Two Of the three Commissioners
do not share Mr.. Aliens enthusi-
aSm for this housing program.
Also, the Districts alley clearance
act is looked on by many District
heads Is the solution to the pres
snt housing problem, il there IS
one.
Therefore Commissioner Allen
may arrange that the new reha-
bilitation corporation viii borrow
the money from the PWA.
