which means the tearing down of a

Officials stressed, however, that
the low-rent character of defense

ever possible. Acceptable tenants,
except in unusual cases, are to be
taken from the lowest income class

ception: Due to the emergency,
prospective tenants will not be re-

cal agency wants to reserve rs units

personnel.
Nobody knows at this time how
great demand there will be for
emergency housing nor how many
workers eventually will be hired un-
der the national defense program.
The question of funds, therefore. is
urgent. The U. S. H. A. had hopes
earlier in the session of obtaining a
large share of the additional $780,
100000 voted by the Senate for pub
lie housing. The Senate also voted
s45, 5,0O0,OO0 for annual subsidy pay
ments. These hopes have been
blasted.
Now the U. S. H. A. is trying to
get a s5,000,000 appropriation for
subsidies. This amount would re-
lease S150, 100000 in funds tied up for
two years because the original sup
ply bill neglected to make the proper
allowance for subsidy payments.
The subsidy is mandatory under the
general Housing Act in order to help
make up the difference between the
rent a tenant can afford to pay and
the actual cost of operating the
housing units. No loan could be
made without it.
Because slum dwellers are to oc-
cupy defense housing eventually, the
Federal agency desires the subsidy
appropriation so as not to disrupt
completely the general housing pro-
gram. Direct ALLEGATIONS can be
made from the funds to the Army
and Navy and by stretching point
they can be used for defense hous-
ing without a subsidy. But eventu-
ally the subsidy would have to be
paid yearly.
