Relations Committee Objects
To Radical Charges

The first task Of the recently appointed Public
Relations Committee was to protest mdsrepresenta-
lions about Greenbelt appearing In current United
States Chamber of Commerce pamphlet. The comi ttee
sent the following letter to the Chamber of
and forwarded copies and explanatory notes Wash
ington and Baltimore papers:
Mn your recent public entitled 'out1ines Of
Eleven Talks Timely Questions Affecting the Amer
lean Free Enterprise System Greenbe1t is mentioned
in a way which reflects upon the good of the
Chamber of. Commerce. You will doubt wish to
rect this unfortunate Misrepresentation.
CONTRARY to your Implications, Greenbelt is
modern, elf-goveming American towns In which each
CT tzen enjoys the full privileges of democracy. It
pays its full share of State county taxes. The
Federal Government (which the Land and the dwell
Hngs, stands in the relation of landlord to the
tomspeople, but plays part in the local govern
ment whose mctionaries elected by the citizens
at large. Greenbelt's commercial enterprises
owned and operated by private corporate on whose
ock is held by the residents Of the community.
I'VE wish to emphasize these facts, they
to be at variance with the differences appearing in
Suggested Outline Number on "Collectivim and the
Class War". Your mputation is that Greenbelt an
example of a co1lectdv1st community, as it is used
as case in support of your talk, after series of
pointed remarks about Russia.
My definition from Funk and Wagnall's New Stand
ard Encyclopedia, collectivi is a socialist theory
that industry should be carried with cohesive
capital, not owned and controlled by individuals,
but by groups of associated workers.
"Since Greenbe1t has no industries, and hence
groups of associated workers, the conclusion
rather obvious that 1T is intended this CON-
list environment n tn an eye to effect rather than
verifiable truth. Greenbe1t is as col1ectivist as

errment reservations.

Bricks From NY.
To Sun Francisco
Used In Housina

Washington, d. C.-More than one
billion building bricks-an amount
sufficient to build high wall span
ming the continent from New York
to San Francisco--will be utilized in
the construction Of low-rent dwellings
under the slum-clearance program of
the United States Housing Authority,
according to estimates made public to-
day by USHA Administrators Nathan
Straus.
Approximately 230,000,CCO lineal
feet of structural hollow tile-a total
of 43,560 miles or nearly twice the
distance around the earth at the
equator-will give added safety and
sanitation for the 10000 low income
families who will move into the new
homes from their present shacks and
tenements in the Nations slums and
blighted areas.
In addition there will be put to use
about 4OO,0O0,OOO feet of lumber; g.
100000 tons of sand and gravel
100000 barrels Of cement; 100000
tons Of gypsum plaster and 100000
gallons of paint-to mention but a
few of the many items that go into
the construction of low rental housing
projects.
A complete breakdown of the enor-
nous quantity Of building materials
and equipment, for which there will
be an estimated outlay of $3.50, 900, ,OOC
in the present $77OOO0,OOO public
housing program, was submitted by
USHA technical experts to point out
the vast benefits to be derived by the
whole building industry.
