Candid Shots of Housing Euils
To Bring Prizes for amateurs
association and Public Library Sp0n-
sOrs Plan to Present Slum Conditions
in Capital PictOrially.

The hundreds of amateur photog-
taphers in Washington will be given
IN opportunity to aid in composing a
pictorial dramatization of housing
conditions here-and, incidentally,
make little extra money at the same
time-in Photographic contest to
be sponsored by the Washington
Housing Association and the Public
Library.
The contest is designed to empha-
size in the public mind that the
Nations Capital has delapidated. un-
kempt alley dwellings as well as
beautiful mansions; that there are
dead ends" as we'll as fine recreation
areas; that you can look out from a
window in the Senate Office Building
on scenes of the direst poverty.
Beginning next Monday, the Wash
hgton Housing Association will re-
ceive photographs of all phases of
housing in Washington. The pictures
may deal with deplorable home condi-
tions, but they will not be restricted
to this alone. The subject matter
may include new projects, improve
ments, restorations or renovations.
Seeks True Picture.
The idea. according to Mrs. Helen
Duey Hoffman, executive secretary
Of the housing association, is to pre-
sent the beautiful and the not-so-
beautiful sides of Washington in
contrast so that the public can get a
true picture of conditions as they
exist today.
And there's no better way of telling
that story than by pictures" Mrs.
Hoffman said yesterday. "If I had
time, I'd like to go out and take some
snapshots myself"
Not only will the citizens of Wash
ington be given an opportunity to
view the pictures submitted by the
amateur photographers, but they will
actually be the final judges in choos-
Ing the winners in the contest.
Entries In the contest will be re-
eeived up until midnight of December

Judges will decide the list Of pictures to
be placed on display. These will be ex-
hibited in the Central Public Library,
the Georgetown branch, the Mount
Pleasant branch. the Northeastern
branch and the Barney Neighborhood
House.
Public Votes to Be Asked.
Every visitor to the exhibit locations
will be asked to cast vote on the
photographs. The popular vote will
| decide the contest. Several cash prizes
will be awarded. but officials have not
yet announced just what they will be.
Between next Monday and Decem-
ber 81 the housing association will
have examples of the best subject mat
ter on display at the libraries and
Neighborhood House to give amateur
photographers some ideas about what
they should look for. These pictures
were made by photographers Of the
Resettlement Administration, Farm
Security Administration, Public Works
Administration and various news
papers and turned over to the housing
group
These typical photographs show the
waste in human values caused by bad
housing-homes without sanitation,
overcrowded rooms, homes in which
there are windowless windows, floorless
floors and doors that are practically
not doors at all; frame dwellings that
date from the Civil War period, alley
dwellings in the shadow of the Capitol.
The judges who will select the pic
lures to be exhibited are Mrs. Hoff-
man, William Pryor of the Works
Progress Administration, Roy Stryker
of the Farm Security Administration,
James Roy administrative assistant in
the Alley Dwelling Authority, and a
representative of the Public Library,
to be chosen later.
All entries must be submitted to the

tographers are not eligible to compete
