Chairman DesteMe
q
Yesler Hill Site
Tells Why Site Chosen
For Low-Cost Housing
Units

Speaking before the Seattle
Real Estate Board, George w.
Coplen, Chairman of the Sc
attic Housing Authority, Dec.
Z, told members of the rea-
sons behind the selection of
Yesler Hill as the site for Sc
attle's first low-rent housing
project.
Approval of the Seattle
Authority's application for
$2,700,000, with which to fin
ance 80 per cent of the pro-
.ject cost, was received Satur-
day from the United States
Housing Authority.
Combining his remarks to a de-
scription of conditions existing on
the site as revealed in a recent sur
vey, Coplen cited the central loca-
ton of the project, as well as ex-
cellent transportation, educational,
and recreational facilities, as rea-
sons affecting the Authority's de-
cision.
1.-The condition of the dwelling
units on the site indicates that it
is an area of substandard dwell
ings from both physical and oc-
cupancy point of view. Of the 40
dwellings, 95.5 per cent are sub
standard from either or both of
these viewpoints. Substandard
physical characteristics are to be
found in more than 9 out of 10, so
pronounced, in fact, as to make
them economically impossible to
improve through revaluation. From
a structural viewpoint, over half
of the structures are unfit for use,
and more than a third are in need
of major repair" said Coplen.
"Such conditions as described
make for high social disorganiza-
ton, as represented by the areas
mounting rates of Juvenile delin-
quency, family disintegration, and
the general prevalence of vice,
known to every Seattleite. Not on
ly the health, safety and morals
of the inhabitants, but of the en-
tire community are jeopardized by
such conditions. They are econo-
mically disastrous, creating enor-
nous expenditures in such NUM-
cipal services as police, fire and
health Enthusiastically incom-
patible with the costs of such SER
vices for the city at large-and re-
turn nothing to the City in ex-
change.
More than this, there is def
mite loss to the City. The rate of
tax delinquency for the site is
twenty times that of the city av-
erage, and 1873 per cent of the
area has become tax title land. The
total delinquency of the area is
$11,9S1, an average of four years.
The Housing Authority will pay
this sum in full to the City upon
acquisition of the land"
The Authority's plans call for
demolition beginning next spring
of the dwellings within the Az
acre area, bounded by Main, JEFF
ferson, and Fir streets, and by 7th,
9th, 18th and Maynard avenues.
Eventual rehousing Of 700 low
income Seattle families now re-
siding in substandard dwellings
throughout the city, will take place
upon completion of the project,
Chairman Coplen told the Board.

Officials Deny Story
Of News Suppression

Assertions before the House COM
mittee investigating the National
Labor Relations Board yesterday
that the Cincinnati Enquirer had
killed a "derogatory" story about q
board case against the Ashland
(Ky) plant of the American Rolling
Mills Co., brought denials from Of
f1cials of the two concerns, the Asso-
ciated Press reported today.
w. F. Wiley, publisher of the En-
quirer, said the statement of Philip
G. Phillips, N. L. r. B. regional di-
rector, concerning the paper was
filled with innuendo and bald mis-
statement of truth and fact The
publisher charged the Federal of =
fetal with making his statement
apparently for the purpose of q
build-up with his Washington su-
periors."
A letter from Mr.. Phillips placed
in the committee record reported
that the Enquirer's city editor, "a
swell guy and a dear friend" had
kllleu Clle STORY.
He knew said Mr.. Wiley. that
the city editor of the Enquirer was
not dear friend of his, but merely
a most casual acquaintance. The
city editor Mr.. L. L. Evans, al
present on vacation in California
declared today by phone that he had
met Mr.. Phillips but once in his
life and that there had been NO
discussion of any character on that
occasion"
G. H. Murray, assistant to the
president of the American Rolling
Mills Co., said:
"The policies advocated and prac-
ticed by the American Rolling Mills
Co. throughout the 40 years of its
history speak for themselves. It i.

"You do," said Rud.
Chiffan's phrase about "rehuman-
ization" set not only one train of
idease, but two separate systems 60
ing In Thirps busy brain. One was
the rehumanization of world affairs
through what he called "the reap
pearance of women" and the second
was the imperative necessity for him
that any personal "rehumanization"
of Rud must be in his own hands,
If his present influence In world
affairs wes to be maintained.
Whatever happened, Chiffan was
not to rehumanize Rud.

On what should partner take out
no-trump bid to two of a suit?
Undoubtedly there are many weak
hands such as South held in today's
hand (Which prompted question 33),
where a better result would be OBJ
tanned at two spades than at one
no-trump. But in actual practice it
is physically impossible to play the
hand at two spades, since any re-
sponse is viewed as constructive and
indicating some values: hence the
no-trumper is bound to be rebid.
Ihus. with a hand such as South's
we always pass our partners one
no-trump bid unless we are doubled.
Only then will we call two spades
as rescue bid.
After his partners takeout North
jumped gayly to game, not dream
ing that his partners hand was
blank. East's double shattered this
illusion, and at the final contract
OF four spades West opened the ace
OF hearts. The king of hearts and
a heart ruff gave the defense three
tricks and they were still to win
three more. BY refusing to let his
partner suffer at one no-trump
South had taken a 5OO-point pen
atty.

queer creatures we humans are!"
Am I right? Can you imagine
him as a lover?"
"Ugh!"
For any woman?"
Women are queer things. Not
all alike. More variable, perhaps.
than men in these things. I can't
put myself-can't imagine myself
in any woman's skin but my own.
There Is a brutal fastidiousness in
my physical makeup anyhow. Let
alone that I love you, SO that I'm
specialized now for you. But before
ever I met you I am certain he
would have seemed not simply in
different, but repulsive-disgusting.
Il wonder" said Chiffan, "how
far you speak for even a majority
of women?"
M0nstrous TOlerations.
ANY woman who answers for the
behavior of any woman but herself
is fool" said Phoebe.
But even as what they used to
call a platonic lover?"
Some women seem capable of
monstrous tolerations. You and I
are imaginative, sensuous people.
We can't stand people who are not
/ +good-looking. We are a normal,
easy-going couple. There are women
without sensory imaginations, with
out physical pride, gross women, ac-
quisitive women, prestige lovers,
women with sort of blunt, savage
brutality of ownership But go
on"
well, you will see now what I
mean when I say that Rud is living
in an unbroken egotism, all inside
himself. A sort of moral potbound
plant. Love is the natural force that
breaks down egotism, takes you out
to living, to personal self-forgetful-
ness. but he has never had even
sentimental relationship. He has no
intimate life, no life of the affec-
tions at all, and so his egotism now
has become inf1amed and dreadful >
But what am I to do about it?"
Help me to do something to
break down his loneliness.
But hoW?"
Is WOman'S Work.
Make some sort of social life for
him. Get him into contact with hu-
man beings, easy, delightful, every
day human beings"
But how? And where?"
Il don't know how. That is why
come to you. Social life is womans

Problem In Distraction.

tor seemed a good phrase to Chit
ian. Phoebe was learning the trick
OF phrase-making from him, as
women will acquire even the most
recondite tricks from their men, and
he had that impulse to quote her
cleverness, which is part of the pride
OF love. The change in Rud's moods
and manners was attracting the at
ton not only of Chiffan but of
most of those who were in any sort
OF personal contact with him, and he
was being observed and discussed as
he never had been before-intimate-
ly. The thing was leaking out to-
wards the public mind. And Thirp
was not one of the least active of
those who speculated about the
Masters disposition. He cautht up
Mrs. Chiffans praise with approval.
"Of course!" he said, in his high
pitched voice. How clever of that
young woman! No human being can
keep going as he has kept going for
the last 10 years without some re-
taxation. Worse than a term of i'm
prisonment. He needs distraction
sorely."
Thirp's mind went off at a tan
gent from that.
Thirp was certainly the most in
congruous of all the Central Group,
the least constructive in spirit and
perhaps the most active. There was
none of the hive builder, nothing of
the beaver about Thirp; his con-
structions were webs.
Younger Men His Friends.
He went to and fro in the world,
always a little secretly and unex-
pectedly, and his friends were most
ly the younger men of his organiza-
ton, agents he used and somehow
had to protect, and certain sprin-
king of accidental womenfolk. His
taste in atmosphere was for va
riety, contrast, richness and the
recondite. He had an instinct for
the out-of-the-way. He would spend
a few days in some Chinese house.
hold that had miraculously survived
the social convulsions of the age, or
he would stay for a week in some
remote monastery or lamasery that
the tides of destruction had left un-
touched, or he would go to his own
villa among a group of artistic
friends, near Montserrat in Cata-
lonia and return with renewed zest
to the. control of his immense or
ganization of information bureaus
and the obscure activities of his
Ministry for the Preservation of the
Revolution.
This last was the most ill-def1ned
OF all the World Administrations. It
was in effect political police which
had grown up about Thirp as a
center. 1t had its prisons and its
oubliettes-often prisons taken over
from the old order and very incom-
pletely modernized. 1t watched for
and anticipated militant reaction,
and particularly for any systematic
attempts to revive natioalist feeling
or race antagonism, it was as un-
derhand as the evils it attacked, it
was suspicious in spirit and its meth
DDS secret and arbitrary. 1t was all
in his hands, and Rud was as insist
ent to keep it entirely in his hands
as he had been to maintain Bella
courts independence of Reedly.
