Cape Hatteras
National Park

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. (UP)
The house yesterday unanimously
approved the Warren bill estab-
fishing the Cape Hatteras nation
al seashore and sent 1t to the sem
ate.
The bill. sponsored by Repre-
sentative Lindsay Warren, D., N.

an area of 100 square miles along
the narrow strip of seacoast from
Kitty Hawk to Ocracoke Inlet.
When as much as 10000 acres

The project has been studied
for three years and was approved
by Secretary of the Interior Har-
old L. Ickes and by the budget
bureau. The Warren bill provides
no appropriation but gives ten
wears for acquisition Of the land.
A nucleus exists in the posses

vey, which now owns $500 acres
in the area, the Wright Brothers
Memorial at Kitty Hawk, . ma
tional park covering $50 acres,
and the state park at Cape Hat
teras, covering 1000 acres. '}-'
The area is rich in historic as
sociations, and is noted for its
beautiful sand dunes. It provides
some of the finest fishing on the
Atlantic coast and is patronized
as a summer resort. The gulf
stream approaches the coast at
that point and provides excellent
ocean bathing.

The $700,000,000 Wagner low
rent housing and slum clearance
bill may cause "an awful scandal
unless it is sharply revised to ben
eft only the poor man, Senator
David |. Walsh, d., Mass, warned
yesterday when the measure was
nlaced before the senate, but ad.
-ministration leaders hoped to get
a fnel vote on the bill today. II
is No: 2 on President Roosevelt's
desired" five point legislative
program which leaders are seek
ing to enact before congress adj
journs.
The bill proposes to set up a
five man U. S. housing authority
with power to aid local commune
ties in clearing Slums and erect
ing low-rent housing projects. The
assistance would come through a
loan subsidy plan in which the
government would make loans to
local housing sponsors and make
subsequent annual subsidies to aid
in repayment of the loans: OF
through a program Of outright
grants designed to insure low
rents.
Walsh, former chairman of the
senate education and labor com
mittee which considered the hous-
ing bill, conferred with President
Roosevelt yesterday and said af-
terward that the chief executive
expressed sympathy" with three
amendments he will introduce.
One would require proof that
a slum clearance project would be
successful before the government
advanced aid: the second would
require private housing units to
pay a 1-2 per cent interest on
government loans instead of 2 3-4
per cent as provided by the act.
and the third would provide that
low-rent dwelling units could be
occupied only by tenants with
monthly incomes of less than
three times the rent instead of
five times as the bill proposes.
The senate did nothing yester-
day except debate the Wagner
bill and wrangle over President
Roosevelt's failure to name sue
cessor to U. S. Supreme Court
Justice Willis Van Devanter, re-
tired. The house considered no
major legislation.
