F. h. A. Home Financing
FIGURES Show Gain

The volume of home financing
accepted by the Federal Housing
Administrations District of Colum-
bia insuring Office during March
exceeded the figures for the cor
responding month of last year by a
good margin, H. 10y Anderson, Dis
trict F. H. A. director, announced
today.
Mortgages accepted for insurance
by the District Office last month
amounted to $l,745, 900, Mr.. Ander-
son said, as compared with $685.
600 in March, 1889. This increase,
he pointed out, is sharper than was
the case last year.
In addition, 81 loans, totaline
$3.50. 900, were approved for insurance
during the month on homes to be
constructed under title l, class 3 re-
quirements. The maximum amount
insured on loans of this type is
$500, with a down payment of only
5 per cent and the maximum
amortization period is is years.
While we are not predicting q
construction boom this year we
confidently expect unusually brisk
activity. especially in the small
homes field" Mr.. Anderson said.
The home-building trend should
increase as families of moderate in
come see the attractive small homes
now being offered at prices and on
terms well within their means.
Builders are to be congratulated on
the progress they have been making
in producing a good little house
for the buyers Of modest income,
especially since the iberalized F. H.
A. program has been in effect"
The architectural design now be-
ing employed in the construction of
small homes in the District has
vastly improved over that Of a few
years ago, Mr.. Anderson said.

W.P.A. Asks Congress
For Greater Leewav
On Relief Projects
Requests Include New
Theoter Program, Removal
Of Building Cost Limit
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The w. p. A. has asked Congress,
well-informed legislators said today,
to give 1t greater leeway in the size
and type Of projects which 1t can
undertake with relief funds.
Members of the House Appropria-
tions Subcommittee considering
President Roosevelt's relief estimates
said that the requested revisions
include:
/. Restoration Of the Federal the
ater projects where local sponsor
ship can be obtained.
2. Removal of the $52,O limit on
the cost Of construction projects.
3. Elimination Of the requirement
that local sponsors contribute Is per
cent Of the cost Of all non Federal
projects.
4. Reduction to IS days of the en-
forced lay-of period for all persons
continuously on the w. p. A. rolls
for 18 months.
100000 Limit Suggested.
Committee members said w. p. A,
Commissioner Harrington, recon-
mending the changes, suggested
that If the committee felt a TOP limit
should be fixed for construction
projects, it be placed at 100000
He asked discretionary power to
determine where local sponsors con-
tr1butions should be insisted upon.
Members said it had been found
that this requirement denied some
poor communities w. P. A. projects
Of any kind.
Legislators pictured Col. Har-
rington as favoring continuation of
The mandatory layoffs for persons on
the relief rolls for 10 months, but
suggested that the layof be reduced
to Is days from the present 30-day
period. He was quoted as saying
the furlough provision had caused
little hardship.
Theater Projects Face Opposition,
There were indications that the
proposed restoration of the theater
projects, even on local sponsorship
basis, would encounter opposition.
The committee was very critical of
that project when it was eliminated
last year.
Members disclosed that the w. p.
A. writer's project was criticized ear
Ier this week by Col. Brehon Som
ervell, New York City w. P. A. ad-
ministrator, who told the committee
he did not regard it as a justifiable
one for public support.

the first things taught him is how
to handle the rifle itself, how to load
it and how to fire it.
1t Is impressed upon him that
he Is handling a valuable piece
Of government property for
which he Is responsible. His
rifle has q number and he must
remember this number. He
turns in the weapon to his pla-
tOOn officer at night.
He is taught the name OF every
part Of the rifle. He learns how
to take 1t apart and put 1t together
again. That is necessary in case
the weapon jams some time. He
must know how to fix 1t. He
must also be careful to clean 1t from
dust and dirt and sand. He must
learn how to sight and TO aim the
weapon.
Then one fine day he Is taken out
10 the rifle range and allowed TO
blaze away with real ammunition.
He will get plenty Of this expensive
exercise because q soldier Is no good
II he does not know how to shoot
