This was the impassioned
declaration of 4l.year-old Mrs.

With apparent reluctance,
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat re-

Father Benjamin T. Hoffiz,
pastor of st. JoSeph's Syrian
Orthodox Church, told how
Mrs. Murray had lived for
"a years. That she was
widowed and a mother of a %
year-old daughter, whose wish was
for her mother to be Americanized.
He told how Mrs. Murray spent
her $500 nest egg during war time
to buy Liberty Bonds, of her con-
Stunning desire to be a citizen and
how she would probably be a

were turned down.

Chief OF USHA
Officials Celebrate Year
of Progress

A decent home for every Ameri-
can family of low income and
eventual end of slumS in all cities
will be the inevitable achievemens
of the Federal housing program.
Such was the optimistic con.
clusion of Nathan Straus, admins
traitor of the U. S. Housing Au-
thority, reviewing a years progress
under the housing act.
Straus addressed members OF
the National Association Of HouS'
ing Officials, meeting at Wardman
Park Hotel today.
IHLDER PRESENT
On the same platform with
Straus at the anniversary meet
ing was John Ihlder, director OF
the Alley Dwelling Authority ana
opponent of Straus' views on tor'
mulating a low-cost housing pro-
gram here.
'The primary aim of the pro-
gram is being fulfilled Straus
told his audience. Rents to be
charged in the SO housing pro
jects approved by the President
will be within the reach OF those
families with $4oO, $500 or $1,000
annual income who desperately
need better housing"
CITIES COOPERATE
Localities have shown them
selves eager to take UP the
responsibilities set by Congress.
have raised their share of the
financing of the housing program
and have made low rents possible
by granting tax exemptions, Straus
continued.
These may seem petty aims
in world torn by gigantic ambi-
tions and tragic fears" said
Straus, but a housing program
which is aimed at the needs and
reasonable well being of the
population is the very hallmark
and guarantee Of our de-
mocracy."
Acknowledging that the achieve
ment of the housing program was
not without differences of opinion,
Straus continued:
"Put a banker, an economist.
q doctor, an architect and a
trade unioniSt in the same room.
and if they are intellectually
honest and stick to the point.
they will tome out with an
agreement ,
WELCOMES CRITICISM
A total OF 37,OC0.o 900 people are
now living in communities with a
housing program, StrauS pointed
out, while at least $4,000, 900
people are still living in areas for
which there is no housing au.

STORM AT.
TERRACE.
Plead for U. S. to Act,
But Smudge Stays
By JAMES J. CULLINANE

Talk of Government interfer-
ence in business is just a cinder
down the neck Of residents Of
River Terrace, snug little subdivi-
sion Of modest homes, green lawns
and trees overlooking Anacostia
Park.
Because for almost a year they
have been pleading with the Dis
trict Government to enforce the
city's smoke law against its most
flagrant violator-the wealthy Po-
tomac and Electric Power Co.
And all the little taxpayers have
received from the law enforce
ment agencies is a plea to be pa
tient for a few more years and
do the best they can with cinders
in their soup, grit in their bed
room slippers and SCOT on their
shirts.
River Terrace stretches south
along Thirty-fourth Street from
Benning Road literally in the
shadows of the nine towering
smoke stacks of Pepco's Benning
plant.
NO ACTION
Day and night. but especially
at night when electric current con-
sumption is greatest, the huge
stacks belch forth clouds Of ugly
black smoke and showers of fine
cinders which drift for miles.
"Sure we know Pepco has been
violating the smoke law at the
Benning plant for year and a
half" said H. Kenneth Kugel,
chief smoke inspector.
mo, we've never taken any
formal action against Pepco but
we've called the nuisance to
their attention and they have
been very cooperative. They've
been working on plans to abate
the nuisance and I understand
they are about ready to order
some equipment to reduce smoke
and cinders in one of their Chin
neyS.
"It's a big job that has to be
done out there and results won't
show for some time. It wouldn't
do us any good to close down the
plant until they put in the nee
eSSarv euuipment,"
