.LOW-RENT PROJECT
GRANTS INCREASED
District Enterprises to
Share in Liberalization
of Terms.

A new and more liberal basis for
financing the S283 ,000,0 slum clear
ance and low-rent housing program
under consideration by the Public
Works Administration was announced
today by Administrator Ickes with a
view to making it easier for some so
municipalities to come under the
Nationwide program.
The most important change au-
thorized increases the P. w. A. grant
from 80 per cent of the cost 70 As
per cent. This would leave the re-
manning SIS per cent of a housing
allotment to be constructed as loan
to the project, to be amortized by
rents.
Another important change, which
would help greatly to reduce the an
nual rental payments, extends the
amortization period over a 60-year
period. instead of As years as hereto
fore. Land cost will not be amortized,
Ickes said, but a 3 per cent annual
land-rent item will be carried by each
project.
Interest to be charged on the SIS
per cent loan section of the housing
allotments is not to exceed per cent,
the same as heretofore. Under the
previous regulations, however, land
amortization was required.
The new financing basis will apply
to the housing project being planned
now for Washington, as well as those
in other cities of the country. Secre-
tary Ickes believes the more liberal
terms will be an additional incentive
for municipalities to enter into hous-
ing plans and in reducing rental costs,
speeding up the program generally.
Contracts for construction of five
housing projects have been let and
bids are being received on others.
Land acquisition is under way in some
40 cities, where projects are in ad-
vanced stages. In the District Of
Columbia the Government has gone
to court to acquire land in Southwest
Washington by condemnation.
On the limited dividend housing
corporation side of the program six of
the seven housing projects undertaken
are occupied and the seventh is under
construction.

DRIVE ON INEBRIATES
SHOWS COURT RESULTS

A campaign recently inaugurated
by Judge Ralph Given in Police
Court to cut down the number OF
drunk cases by sentencing "repeaters'
to long terms showed results in
Police Court today, when only 100
persons were arraigned on charges OF
intoxication, as against 200 last
Monday.
Judge Given said the situation
existing this morning might be ac-
counted for by the fact that during
the past week he has given approx
mately 100 "repeaters" sentences of
co. days each.

PARK LANDSLIDE
FUNDS REQUESTED
$120,000 Sought to Clear

Progresses.

Landscaping in the section of the
Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway
near the Lincoln Memorial is making
satisfactory progress, Frank T. Cart
side, acting superintendent of the
National Capital Parks, today an
nounced, revealing that the Public
Works Administration has been asked
for $4,000 for repairing damage done
by the landslide in the valley, just
upstream of the @ street bridge re-
Gently following heavy rains. The

A special wall, designed to support
the weight of the earth, will have TO
be built in sections, Gartside said.
The park authorities have been having
trouble with the east side of Rock
Creek valley, upstream of @ street,
because that area is largely filled
ground.
Gartside announced a contract has
been signed with the Logan Pingree
Co., Inc, of 1920 Garfield street for
furnishing and placing topsoil ad-
jacent to the Rock Creek and Potomac
parkway just south of Constitution
avenue. This involves $1,000.
G. H. Carper of Mclean, Va, who
has a $4,000 Federal contract, is top
soiling the parkway along the Poto-
mac River north of Constitution ave-
nue. to K street. Gartside reported
satisfactory progress. This Fall park
authorities will move in additional
trees, beeches and evergreens pre-

With the program now under way,
Gartside explained. the park officials
will practically finish the main job
there, although some additional funds
will be needed for landscaping and
topsoil.

BROWN CONSIDERS
NIGHT POLICE HEAD
Unified Detective Rule Is
Plan Also Weighed as
Chief Leaves.

A night superintendent OF police
and central command for precinct de-
tectives are changes being considered
by Police Chief Ernest w. Brown in
his latest drive for efficiency.
Maj Brown is weighing the advisa-
bility of having inspectors serve ro-
tating tours as night superintendent
with full authority and full RESPONSE
bility for the administration of the
force between dusk and dawn.
This system was put into effect in
1929 by former Police Chief Henry
G. Pratt and abolished by Maj Pratt
several years later. Former Supt. Pei
Office, with inspectors serving as night
chiefs once week.
Brown OFF to Convention.
Maj. Brown had not decided def
nitely yesterday whether to restore the
old system when he left for Atlantic
City for the convention of Interna-
tional Association of Police Chiefs, of
which he is a vice president. He ex-
poets to remain at the convention all
week
Detective Chief Frank S. w. Burke
is known to favor having precinct
detectives report directly to the chief
of detectives, as do headquarters de-
tectives now assigned to the precincts.
This would leave the precinct COM
manders free to a large extent of
investigation duty, with more time to
concentrate on day-to-day policing
and crime prevention work
Training Seen as One Benefit.
Detectives working on unsolved
crimes would report to the same COM
mander at headquarters. This system
was in operation for about a year
until its abandonment IL months ago.
Inspector Burke pointed out that If
precinct and headquarters detectives
we're under the same command it
would permit the training of young
detectives by pairing them with head
quarters veterans. Too, a central COM
mand would allow precinct detectives
to be shifted from time to time and
concentrated temporarily in areas
where crime is most prevalent.

SENATORS READY
TO PUSH DISTRICT
SOCIAL SECURITY
Committee Awaits Changes
in House Job Insurance
Bill.
COPELAND RETURNS
AND is GIVEN FACTS
Conferees on National Security
Program to Hold Executive
Session Tonight.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

DI y. h " LLhh1s
The Senate District Committee will
be ready to move forward promptly on
the local social security program as
soon as legislative drafting experts
complete preparation of proposed
changes in the House unemployment
insurance bill.
After reaching the conclusion last
week that the unemployment plan
should be amended substantially as
asked for by the Commissioners,
Chairman King of the Senate District
group requested the legislative draft
ing service to go over the amend
ments. He previously had consulted
the Finance Committee advisers. who
helped work on the national security
bill.
Senator Copeland Back.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New
York. chairman of the subcommittee
which held hearings on the local bills.
returned to the city today and Senator
King informed him of the study he Is
having made Of the amendments
needed to carry out the Commission
ers' recommendations. The revision
urged by the Commissioners is in
tended to avoid having the local un-
employment bill go beyond the stand
ards in the national plan and in the
laws of the States that have acted.
Senator Copeland said he would be
ready to proceed with consideration
of the subject as soon as Senator King
finishes his study.
A definite date for a committee
meeting has not been fixed. Senator
King conferred Saturday with Sen
ator Capper. the other member of the
special subcommittee
Meanwhile, House and Senate con-
ferees on the national security pro-
gram are slated to go into executive
session at the Capitol again at 7:30
this evening in an effort to settle re-
naming differences between the two
branches over important Senate
amendments.
Changes Still Issues.
Some Of the changes District Off
cials and organiza tions have re-
quested in the local unemployment
bill are still issues in conference on
the national bill, such as the plan to
encourage industries to stabilize en-
ployment by allowing a reduction in
the pay roll tax when an employer
keeps his men steadily at work.
In some other respects, however,
the local unemployment bill as passed
by the House is more severe on the
District than is contemplated by pro-
visions Of the national bill on which
both houses have agreed. For in
stance, both houses voted in the ma
tional bill to apply the unemployment
pay roll tax gradually at / per cent
in 1886, 2 per cent in 1887 and per
cent thereafter, whereas the House
applied the per cent tax immedi-
ately in the local bill.
The House local bill contains other
requirements that would make the
District plan more strongent than
elsewhere, such as the levying of a
contribution from taxpayers generally
to supplement the pay roll tax.
