SPECIAL DEFENSE ] AREA HOUSING I5
 HANDLED BY FILA
New Tile in Law Permits Construction Within
 Specified Bounds

! WASHINGTON, April 11.-With the Presidents signing of amend ments to the National Housing Act creating new Title VI, the Federal Housing Administration is prepared to further the construction of homes in specified defense areas, Administrator Abner H. Ferguson announces.
 The legislation sets up a special Sl00,O0O,000 FILA home mortgage in surance authorization and provides machinery enabling private enter prise to supply upwards of 25,OO0 units in meeting housing demands caused by national defense activi- ties.
 A defense housing insurance fund of not more than $10,000000 will be made available to the FILA by the Reconstruction. Finance Corpora ton. Mortgages insured under the new title will be distinct from those insured under Section 203 of the Act. constituting the bulk of FHA'S operations, and will have no claim upon the assets of existing insur- ance reserves.
 Objectives
 The broad objectives of Title VI are CD maximum participation by private capital under FILA mort gage insurance in the construction of added housing facilities required for defense industry workers in areas where there is reasonable as- surance of permanent need for the new dwellings after the end of the defense emergency; and CD safe- guarding the established FHA-m- sured mortgage program against excessive risks or losses in connec- tion with the insurance of home loans in defense industry areas.
 The class of defense housing which it is contemplated will be constructed by private capital under the new legislation occurs gener- ally in the vicinity of established industrial communities where con- tinuity of operations can within reason be anticipated after the ter imitation of the emergency.
 FILA operations under Title VII are not designed to take care of cases where the need is for tenn porary facilities, or where the need for additional housing is likely to disappear with the emergency, CT where workers requiring the addi- tional housing cannot pay rents sufficient to support the investment of private funds.
 Special Characteristics
 The special characteristics of mortgage insurance under Title VI are:
 l. It will be restricted to areas fin which the President shall find that an acute shortage of housing exists or impends which would im- pede national defense activities" and will be limited to commitments to insure entered into on or before July l, 1942, unless the President should declare the emergency ter minated prior to that date. g. In contrast to the provisions of Section 203 limiting 90-percent mortgages to owner-occupied new homes, the new title authorizes in

No Court in Fine Gym
So Team Must PLAY
Woodward al "
Other Scholastic Fives
Prepping for Annual
Championship Series
BY GEORGE HUBER.

something extra special IN the
way of a high school basket ball
debut will be made tomorrow as
Schoolboy cagers swing back into &C
ton after the holiday layoff. Within
the next week those schools that
have not already played their first
games of the season will at last get
under way and leading the pack will
be real newcomer to District sports
competition, Calvin Coolidge High
School.
1t is under somewhat embarrass-
ing circumstances that Coolidge
enters outside competition. The
newest in ultra modern schools has
everything in the way of equipment
except a court in which to play
basket ball. True, it has a gym
nasium with good floor, indirect
lighting and all that, but something
slipped somewhere and there are no
baskets at which to shoot So the
game with Woodward School orig
inally scheduled for Coolidge, has
been shifted to the Y. M. C. A.
SoidilSCIO lcStlllS ldlcHt.
Coaching the squad is Julian
Colangelo, former Anacostia mentor,
whose boys mostly are inexperienced
and will use this season to gain
needed grooming pending their entry
next year in the high school title
race. This year it will play most of
the teams in that series-Anacostia
Tech, Eastern and Woodrow Will
sOn-but it will be just practice.
Next season when the squad is more
experienced Coolidge promises to be
a factor in the schOolDoy title race.
Most OF the players are transfers
from other schools, principally
Roosevelt, and are sophomoreS who
will be with Colangelo for two
more years. Eddie Denison, Bill
Penn. Ralph Meiklejohn, John Hol-
lowell and Rich Waterman are the
lads who will do most of the play
ing. AS with most new teams, Cool
idge and Colangelo don't expect a
big percentage of victories.
The high school series opens next
week, and teams in the race are
getting in their last practice licks
before making bids for the title.
Three are playing tomorrow, West
ern at Montgomery Blair, Central
against Maryland freshmen and
AnaCostia hosting Bethesda Chevy
| Chase
Silver Spring Tit. Topliner.
The Western Blair contest. at
night at Silver Spring, particularly
/ should be interesting since both
have chance at the title in their
respective leagues and will be test
ing their full strengths. Central
+ despite its good quint this season
under Coach Hardy Pearce. vii,
have all sorts of trouble trying tc
spill an exceptionally good TERI
yearling squad, while Anacostia
I inexperienced team is a distinct
underdog to the high-fying Barons
In other games tomorrow, Rich
ard Montgomery plays at Shep-
/ herdstoWn. w. Va, and Dewitt also
has an out-of-toWn excursion tc
open its season against Woodrow
Wilson of Portsmouth, Va.

In six New Year Day football

a victory.
HaScall HenshaW of Tempe shared
the spotlight before $4,000 fans with
Ries, the victors' triple-threat back,

Henshaw, 140-pound streamliner

length of the field from fake punt
formation. 1t was one Of Tempe's

Ries, Barberton, Ohio, 172-pound

Reserve score with a 52-yard gallop,

The other Reserve touchdown was
made by End Willis Waggle, who
blocked a Tempe punt, snatched the
ball and scrambled Is yards to pay
