1.-TWO questions are constantly
asked about the Governments
housing experiment:
- How is it affecting private
industry?
Is it likely to be altered by . change
in the Federal Government?
In answer to the first question. there
is no simple clash between private and
public interest. But there Is appar-
emily q certain amount Of conflict
among various private interests.
For instance, some landlords object
that when the Government builds low
rent houses with unemployed labor at
a wage Of approximately so or so cents
an hour, the slum landlord IS forced
to make improvements In his invest
ment property" in order not to lose
tenants, and he must do so at
higher labor cost. On the other hand.
the private building industry Dement'S
from these repair jobs in the old slums,
as we'll as from P. w. A. contracts, and
the city taxpayer stands to gain be-
cause demolition or renovation Of the
slums will mean lower city costs in
free disqualification, fire and police
protection.
There has never been any profit
for the private building industry in
the slums. DR.. Edith Abbott in her
book, "Tenements of Chicago" shows
that hardly any new buildings or re-
pairs were made in Chicago slums In
the period from 1919 to 1929, in spite
of the great need for repairs each year
in buildings overcrowded and badly
constructed. This is equally true of
slums in other cities.
6 Projects in New York City.
All the evidence so far collected goes
to show that Government-subsidi
slum clearance and rehousing has
stimulating effect on the private build
ing industry. There are six low-cost
housing projects in New York City-two
national slum clearance projects, one
municipal project in collaboration with
w. p. A., two p. w. A. limited dividend
projects and one limited dividend prof.
ect financed by r. F. C. under super
vision of the State Housing Board.
To date, 212 new developments pri-
vately owned or financed have begun
building near these six projects They
include LAG new stores, the renovation
of % old stores, the construction Of
3 moving picture houses, Il ga
RACES and 4 gas stations. The in
crease of taxable values through these
private undertakings will add notably
to the city's revenues.
At Alta Vista, Va, a limited -divi-
dend project of so houses had a re-
markable stimulating effect on pri-
vate building enterprise. Property
owners began to renovate and build
as soon as the project was under way.
Today there are many new business
buildings as well as homes and, with
better housing conditions, the popu-
lation has almost doubled. Two fac
tories have trebled employment.
Ever since 1928 England has had
an elaborate public housing program
that is to run until 1899. Far from
discouraging private building the pro-
gram appears to have had exactly the
opposite effect. According to the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton, England and Wales together have
built four times as many houses as
the United States in the five-year
period ending with 1885. "Of the
total 100000 houses provided in the
last five years, nearly 100000 were
built by private industry without
State aid"

RUSSELL To HURL
AGAINST RED S0X
Given Starting Role With
Mats After Linke'S Shin
Is Badly Bruised.

7 us pitching staff further wreck
- ed by zeke Bonura's line
drive. which bounced of Ed
u Il Linke's shin and inflicted a
painful bruise, Manager Bucky Harris
has decided to call Jack Russell out
of the bull pen for starting role
tomorrow, when the Red Sox open a
three-game series at Griffith Stadium.
Today, as the Nationals prepared to
wind up their two-game set with the
White Sox, Harris nominated Buck
Newsom as the slabman to break the
Washington clubs four-game losing
streak.
Russell will open the Red Sox Sc
ries, which will mark the final ap-
pearance of the Griffmeu until May
26, when they will return from a
swing Of the West. Pete Appleton will
hurl Saturday, which will be Buddy
Myer day, and Jimmy De Shong will
get the assignment on Sunday, when
the Red Sox finish their stay.
Linke, who was injured in the fifth
inning of yesterdays ball game, was
forced to quit for the day. 1t is likely
that he will be out of the game for
four or five days, joining Earl White
hill on the casualty pitching list.
Whitehill, who sprained his ankle
Tuesday, probably will not make the
Western swing.
Capt. Buddy Myer, who was taken
sick yesterday and forced abed, may
not be available for service until the
end Of the week, although it is hoped
that he can play Saturday, when Sen
ator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, home
State of Myer, will present the second
baseman with a $500 ring emblematic
of his winning the 1885 batting cham
pionship.

THREE routes have been desig-
mated by officials of the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show as the
best to be used in driving to the
meet opening tomorrow at Bradley
Farms. opposite the Congressional
Country Club. They are:
From Washington - Massachu-
sets avenue to Wisconsin avenue
to River road, thence straight to
the show grounds just beyond the
entrance to Congressional Country
Club.
From South-Either above route
or follow Conduit road west past
Glen Echo and Cabin John Bridge
to a point mile west of Cabin
John, thence north on Potomac
road to River road and thence
west on River road to show
grounds.
From North-Leave Baltimore by
Frederick pike, pass through Eli
colt City to Olney, thence south on
Seventh street pike to Norbeck.
right at Norbeck to Rockville, con-
tinue through Rockville on Main
street, pass traffic light and drive
one-quarter mile to intersection
with Potomac road. then left to
Potomac, Nd, left at Potomac on
River road and continue three
quarters Of q mile to show grounds.

Linke Well Pounded Again.

IN HANDING them a 5-to-1 lacing
yesterday. Lyons allowed only eight
hits, while he and his mates collected
Q dozen of Eddie Linke, Joe Bokina
and Monte Weaver. The scoring of
only single run. by the way, brought
the Griffs' run production of the last
four days to the terrific total of eight.
This Is an average of only two tallies
per game and unless some of the
Grif1ian slabmen begin taking leaf
from Lefty Grove and start pitching
shutouts, they will continue to find
that two runs aren't enough.
For one whole inning the Nationals
held the lead. They scored a run in
the first frame when Dee Miles
doubled, went to third on an infield
out, and scored on a fly by Cecil
Travis. Then, aided by the sandlot
manner in which Miles played a fly
ball by Mike Kreevich in the second
inning, the Chisox scored three runs
and managed to stay ahead thereafter.
Kreevich's lazy drive fell for a double
when Miles misjudged 1t and instead
Of 1t being three out, the ball scored
two runs, to bring the total for the
inning to three tallies.
Tony Piet's home run in the fourth
inning and three singles by Piet, Luke
Seweli and Lyons in the sixth frame
accounted for the other two runs.

Lnke Is Marked Man.

EDDIE LINKE seems to be pursued
- by . terrifying jinx tending to
make him the target of every batsman
in the American League :. he nearly
was killed by q line drive on Jesse
Hills bat last Summer earlier
this year he was struck on the pitching
hand by another liner yesterday
he was felled by Zeke Bonura's smash,
which caromed OF his shin with such
force that the batter was retired, Clif
Balton to Joey Kuhel ...
Tony Piet, never noted for his home
run tendencies, has raped four cir
cult clouts since being assigned as
Bonura's room mate and Zeke
has kept pace with Tony by slamming
out the same number wonder II
q shift in Washington "roomies' would
help?
Some took Les Tietje's transfer to
st. Louis as an indication that Griff
may swing q follow-up deal for the
former White Sox pitcher, but this
is strongly denied by both the Old
Fox and Bucky .. Apparently
there isn't . good pitcher to be had"
declares Grit, $50 we might as well
string along with what we've got" s.
the Jake Powell-for-Willis Hudlin
trade talk also is bunk :. Harris flatly
turned down Steve O'Neill when the
Indian manager propositioned him the
other day.
Evening star., 1936-05-07

Detroit resembled the same old
Tigers when it stopped OH here, but
then Hankus Pankus Greenberg was
hurt and without Hank the champs
don't look so good. Then again,
Schoolboy Rowe is getting his ears
pinned back and Tommy Bridges isn't
exactly burning up the league. Mickey
Cochrane is getting no younger and
Goose Goslin long ago has ceased
to wear rompers. AL Simmons doesn't
seem to be the Simmons Of yore and
Marvin Owens health is q question
mark. Detroit? You can have the
Tigers.
OF course, you can pick flaws in the
Yanks. How long will La1zeri hold
up? Is DiMaggio what he's cracked up
to be? Can Crosettis knee last fol
154 games? But so far, at least to
this department, the Yanks seem to
be the class of the league.
They've got pitching-more than
the Red Sox with their Grove and
Ferrell. They've got Gehrig to
match Foxx and seemingly Lou is
supported by . stronger and more
versatile cast.
You can pick flaws with q column
like this, too. But it's one-a-day, the
boss says. and sometimes the pickings
like Washington runs are few and fal
between.

Deserves Job on Record.

GTONE. making two of the Nationals
eight hits, was coupled with Buddy
Lewis as the only two players really
delivering the goods" Rocky hereto
fore has played only when right
handed pitchers were used by the rival
club. but so well has he performed
and so disappointing has been Jesse
Hill that Harris just about has decided
to employ Stone in left field regularly,
or until he at least shows that it is
wisest to use him only against ortho-
dox hurlers.
It know it means that our club
will be more top-heavy with left
handed batters than ever" declared
Harris, but it's Just reached a point
now where we've got to string along
with our best ball players and Stone
seems to be one of them. He may
not knock the cover off the ball
against southpaws but he doesn't fig
ure to do any worse than the rest of
the fellows who have been playing.
On his record to date, Johnny seems
well deserving of the job he appar-
emily has inherited. That was his
tenth game yesterday, when he got
two hits in three trips, and he is
sporting the fancy average today of
.464. Stoney has gone to the plate
23 times and has raped out 13 hits
to compile the nifty clip.

Asked to Be Traded.

CTONES winning of regular berth,
~ granting that he has won the left
field job, was done in the face Of
odds that once seemed downright pro-
hibitive. This was the impression that
was given in the Orlando training
camp of the Nationals, when Hill
and Powell were regarded as sure-fire
regulars and only the right field post
was thrown open. And for this job
Carl Reynolds had the inside track,
ostensibly, and young Dee Miles
seemed to be pressing him most.
So stacked did the cards appear to
be against him that Johnny sought out
President Clark Griffith and requested
that he be traded if he did not win
q regular job. Griffith did not trade
Johnny, wisely preferring to keep him
around as insurance for any let-downs.
it is well that he did.
Stone and Lewis, as pointed out by
Harris, have stood out in the play of
the Nationals of late. Virtually every
other player on the club, from Buddy
Myer on down, has fallen down miser-
ably this week. For once the blame
cannot be laid on the pitching. With
any kind of offensive power, the Ma
tionals would not be striving to break
o four-game losing streak which has
forced them well into the second
division.
