The accident: A 65-year-old col
ored man was fatally injured when
struck and crushed by truck which

ley, a one-way thoroughfare for

an hour, when his right front wheel
ran up over something. He was
standing at the time, with one foot
on the running board and the other
on the brake, to be in position

ing, he said. The driver said he
stopped the truck Immediately when
the front wheel seemed to raise up
and found the colored man beneath
the truck and between the two
front wheels. The colored man died

he had suffered a crushed chest,
fractured pelvis and ruptures to in
ternal organs. The truck driver said
the alley was very narrow and ex-
pressed the belief the truck could

Housing Funds
EarI1larked for
Alexandra
Loan Of 100000
Slated for Low-Rent
Project

Plans for q low-rent housing
project to eliminate some of the
worst slums In Alexandria, Va, were
advanced today when the United
States Housing Authority definitely
earmarked 100000 for the future
use of the city's housing authority.
The fund is for a 80 per cent loan
on an initial project to cost
81, 900 900.
At the same time Administrator
Nathan Straus announced the off,
cial earmarking of a SLIPS 900 loan
for the housing authority of New
port News, Va.
In a letter to John P. Phillips in
charge of the Alexandria program,
the U. S. H. A. administrator wrote:
II suggest that the Housing Au-
thority Of the City of Alexandria
proceed with the preparation of its
application for project as expedi-
tiously as possible on which a U. S.
H. A. loan of 80 per cent would
amount to approximately $9O0,0O
We will be pleased to send members
of our staff to your community to
consult with you and to aid and
assist in every way possible.
No Big Difficulties Seen.
"You will understand that it is
our obligation to see that projects
comply with the United States
Housing Act, and that we cannot
make a commitment in advance of
any specific project until it has
been shown that it can be developed
in accordance with the act. From
the preliminary reports of our repre-
sentatives, we believe that no in
surmountable difficulties will be en-
countered. If the application dis
closes a feasible and sound project,
We will proceed to approve it and
recommend it to the President for
his approval"
The 5000, 900 earmarked is approx
imately the full amount requested
by Alexandria for an earmarking.
The Advisory Housing Committee
in its report to the City Council
on housing needs some time tgo,
had recommended that a loan of
81 900 900 be sought. 1t had studied
housing conditions in the city in
connection with the real property
survey, w. P. A. project. The
next step was the creation of the
local Housing Authority of which
Mr.. Phillips is chairman.
Inspection Made by Straus.
Last winter Administrator Straus
made a personal inspection Of hous-
ing needs in Alexandria. Accom-
panied by city officials, he visited
several of the worst tenement sites
and strongly advised the filing of
loan application at once.
In recent months, the Federal
agency has obligated its loan fund
but has been able to recapture small
amounts through the recision of a
few loans. In reallocating these
funds, which Mr.. Straus pointed out
are only a small fraction of the
demand. the U. S. H. A. has sought
to reach those communities that
seem most in need. Alexandria S
case was considered among these.
When Congress meets in regular
session next January it is believed
additional funds will be voted for
the U. S. H. A. In that event, it
is possible that Alexandria may OBJ
tain an additional loan if the City
Authority desires to engage in re-
housing slum dwellers on q larger
scale.

Clouds Interfere
With Observation
Of Moon Eclipse
Chances Are Lessened
To Learn If Film
Of Atmosphere Exists

Clouds last night and early to-
day shut off Washington's view of
the most complete eclipse of the
moon since 1885.
The earth's shadow started across
the moons face at 1854 and had
passed off the other edge at 3:18
a m. without being visible to OBJ
servers here.
Watchers at Naval and George
town Observatories were unable to
take photographs The eclipse,
however, was visible from many
other parts of the United States
and neighboring countries.
At Cambridge. Mass, scientists
were disappointed in efforts to sight
for lunar "hoar frost" which would
determine whether an atmosphere
exists on the moon, the Associated
Press reports.
At Harvard Observatory, where
more than a hundred persons had
gathered, astronomers said clouds
had shut down tight" and less than
handful were present minutes
before midnight, Eastern standard
time, when the moon passed into
the earths shadow
Scientists waited for reports from
Fort Worth, Tex, where Leon J..
Campbell of Harvard said a group
of volunteer astronomers planned
to look for the frost" which the
late William Pickering of Harvard
believed formed on the moons
craters during an eclipse while the
suns lgiht and heat were cut off.
Harvard said its only report from
other observatories up to midnight
was from Toronto, where skies were
clear
Scientists generally hold that there
is no atmosphere or moisture on the
moon, but it has been shown that
during an eclipse the temperature
changes from 158 degrees above zero
Fahrenheit to 1874 degrees below zero.
IF the frost should be observed" ;"
declared Mr. Campbell, "it might be
an indication of the existence of a
very minute atmosphere
Fortunate observers saw the moon
give off copper colored glow dur
ing the eclipse, the characteristic
color coming, astronomers said,
from sunlight being bent" by the
earth's atmosphere and then re-
f1ected on the moons surface,
