HOUSING POLICY
Of PWA FACES
REVISION

A change in the Administrations
policy on low cost housing is being
considered as a possible means Of
speeding the program, it was
learned today.
Under plans now being con-
sidered by the Public Works Ad-
ministration, the task of selecting
sites for housing developments
would be placed entirely in the
hands of the local community. 1t
is felt that this will relieve the
PWA of an existing headache"
and that city governments can
deal more effectively with local
problems and overcome resentment
against Federal domination"
No official statement on the
proposed policy change is forth
coming from Administrator Harold
l.. Ickes, but it is known that he
Is seriously considering the matter.
Under the altered routine, city
governments first would outline
their plans to the PWA, then if
they were approved search could
be started for a site. When
options were obtained on the
necessary property, the project
would be ready for the final ap-
proval of PWA and construction
started Immediately. Thus, the
only burden on the Federal Gov
eminent would be the actual con-
struction.
In Washington, It is felt by
PWA officials, the District Com
missioners are better equipped
than a Federal agency to deal
with District land owners. It was
made plain today, however, that
the search for local housing site
now being made by PWA will not
be transferred to the hands of
the Commissioners. This search
now is reported narrowed to two
proposed sites, one of which is said
to be on Rhode Island Avenue
Northeast.
However, this policy may be put
in effect here if any housing pro-
ject other than that already plan
ned by PWA is proposed.
