Van 0strand Presents

The American University Library
this week received a valuable COL
lection of scientific books, presented
to the college by Charles Edwin Van
Ostrand, mathematician and geo.
physicist for the United States Geo.
logical Survey, it was announced
yesterday.
Mr.. Van Ostrand, who lives at 1905
Morrison street NV, thus follows
the example set by the late Arte-
mus Martin, librarian and computer
of the Geodetic Survey. Mr.. Martin
presented his complete library of
10000 books-described by the Die
tionary of American Biography as
lone of the finest private mathe-
matical collections in America
the college
This is the second contribution
made by Mr.. Van Ostrand and with
the first collection, given five years
ago, makes a total of some 500 scien-
tiflc books, including texts In phys

Langston and the policy during the
next 18 months will be the same as
now, which is one of complete free
dom for the tenants. Langston, it
was pointed out, has been absorbed"
in the community and its recrea-
tional facilities are open to neigh
boring children and families.
The average monthly room rent is
broken down to $5.14 for shelter"
and $231 for utilities. The apart
ments and dwellings range in size
from two rooms, of which there are
10, to six rooms, of which there are
six. Most of the units contain four
rooms. The monthly rents range
from $3.50 to $3185.
When the U. S. H. A. took over
Langston it entered into contract
with the District Commissioners for
annual payments "in lieu of taxes.
1t was not obligatory upon the A.
D. A. to assume this obligation. as
the A. D. A., which is a United
States agency also. can avoid the
payment of taxes if it wishes.
The agency, however, has adjusted
the rents of all it's own housing
projects in the city's alleys so as
to provide fair return to the Dis
trict for the usual services rendered.
This is a policy which. no doubt,
will be continued after the new
housing projects are completed.

ing to obtain an absolute majority

man" in the government.
Raw Deaf Seen for Daladier.
Hostility to M. Reynaud among
many Radical-Socialists was ap-
parently based on the belief that M.
Daladier, who belongs to that group,
had received a raw deal"
Many leading French publicists
also contended that even those who
brought about his resignation by abb
staining were surprised and had
wanted only to make a show Of
strength against him.
Press comment in general indi-
Gated a belief that M. Reynaud
should be given a chance to snow
what his government can do before
the chamber forces another vote of
confidence
There was a general feeling that
if that happens next month and M.
Reynaud should be defeated, M. Da-
Ladder would be called to take the
helm again, perhaps with . more
compact ministry.

Reynaud Mapping
Program 10 Step Up
Tempo Of War
Confers With Chiefs Of
Army and Navy and
Inner Cabinet
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 23.-With his first
premiership sanctioned by a slim
majority in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, Paul Reynaud set out today
to counter Rightist hostility by map
ping program to step up the tempo
Of war against Germany and there
by strengthen his position before
the lower house reconvenes April 2.
His first move was to confer at
length with leaders of Frances Army
and Navy and members of the "in-
ner" cabinet most concerned with
executing the policy of "action" to
which the new government has
pledged itself.
Foreign observers, discounting the
possibility that this action" might
take the form of land offensive,
believed M. Reynaud would seek to
increase Frances efficiency in the
war of siege and stiffen her dip
lomatlc resistance against extension
of German influence among neu-
trails.
Army, Navy Chiefs Attend.
Today's conference lasted an hour
and three-quarters and was attend
ed by Generalissimo Maurice Gus
tave Gamelin, Admiral Jean Dar-
Ian; Camille Chautemps, Vice Pre-
mier; Edouard Daladier, Minister of
Defense; Cesar Campinchi, navy;
Laurent Eynac, air; Georges Mon
net, blockade; Lucien Lamoureux,
finance; Georges Mandel, colonies
and Raoul Dautry, armament.
AS these leaders met five deputies
who abstained in yesterdays chamber
vote OF confidence, in which M. Rey-
maud obtained a one-vote majority,
announced their approval of the
government. One other who had
abstained announced his opposition.
These changes gave the govern
ment majority Of II, or 273 for,
157 against and 105 still listed as
abstaining and hence assumed hos
tile.

Housing Development
3 Leased From U. S. n. A.
For 18 Months

The Langston low-rent housing
project, occupied by 274 colored ten
ant families, will be turned over to
the management of the District
Alley Dwelling Authority on April /,
1t was announced yesterday, under
an 18-month renewable lease from
the United States Housing Author
ity, which retains title to the ST.
759,617 property on Benning road.
Conferences over the transfer,
extending for a year and a half,
ended to the satisfaction of each
agency, when Administrator Nathan
Straus and John Ihlder, executive
offcer of the A. DE- A. signed the
lease. The local authority agrees
to pay a monthly rental Of $700,
which will amount to $4,000 dur
ing the length of the lease. It
also will continue to pay the Dis
trict government the sum of $2,925
annually in lieu Of taxes.
The lease maintains the existing
rentals at Langston, which average
s7.45 month per room, inclusive
of water, light and heat. Both off,
cials stressed the fact there will be
no disturbance of tenant relation
ships during the first year of the
new management, at least.
Resident Manager to Be Retained.
The Star learned last night that
Clifford Thorne, colored resident
manager, will be retained In that
capacity by the Alley Dwelling ALL
thority. He has conducted the diff
cult task of tenant relations and
management since Langston opened
% months ago. Under his guidance,
the U. S. H. A. claimed that Lang
ston is one of the best-managed
housing projects in the country.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who
has taken much interest in the
Washington project, it was learned
yesterday, was much disturbed by
earlier rumors that some of the
tenant families might be evicted
She was believed to be largely re-
sponsible for the changed attitude
of the U. S. H. A., which at one time
sought to reduce the rents. Since
the law says that no tenants in
come shall exceed the rent by five
times, reduction no doubt would
have forced many families to re-
linquish their Government homes.
, At the end of the lease, on Sep
tember 80, 194l, the A. D. A. is to
pay an additional rent equal to the
difference between total expenses
incurred in operation during the
l8-month term and the total receipts
from the property. In determining
the expenses, A. D. A. may charge
only those items that are properly
chargeable to the operation of this
particular property.
That means the project must be
operated on strictly cost basis, it
was explained. All surplus will 60
to the U. S. H. A., which may, how
ever. be called upon to pay for major
structural repairs not now foresee-
able.
Erected by P. w. A. Housing Division.
Langston is one of 81 projects
erected by the former Housing Di-
vision of the Public Works Admins
tration. All but about 10 of these
have been leased to local authorities
by the U. S. H. A. which inherited
the properties. The leasing is au-
thorized under the housing act but
none has been sold

DALI. handsome. tOrCetul. some
thing OF a daredevil. with a hero'S
war record behind him and a
reputation today as perhaps the
greatest voice of the age" Metropoll
tan's famous Roman-born basso. Ezio
Plnza, does not like to talk about
.smself. He prefers action, whether
he Is singing one of the great villain
roles for which the composers OF opera
habituallv score baSsos. or whether IN
private hour he is turning out one OF
his noted dishes OF capellettl for a
group OF friends.
Ezio started out to study civil
engineering but after a year at the
University oi Ravenna he had made
up his mind to be singer. This was
not the paternal plan tor him. 10 try
to make his own money for expenses,
Ezlo became q professional blke-racer.
Then his parents surrendered and he
was sent to the Conservatory at
Bologna.
Came the time for Ezlo's debut.
But came also the tirst World War.
.Alo spent the next four wears 5000
feet above sea level. one OF the famous
Alpine soldiers. But nothing hurt
either his voice or his determination
to sing.
Nowadays EzlO spends the winter
months in the United States and the
summers IN his native land. Over there
he. along with Italv's other greatest
artists, does his part in the musical
activities which take opera companies,
caravan-fashlon, to all parts OF Italy.
We arrive in town and set up
the stage in rhe public square, Ezlo
saws. Or in place like Verona, the
huge out-of-door Roman theater will
seat twenty or thirty thousand. People
flock in from all the surrounding
countryside, farmers arriving with
