By RUTH MIILFTT

THERE is no question but
that she Is the Outstand-
ing Woman of 1910.

for everything the word

Nor did she overlook the
importance Of letting the
world know 1t.
Everything she stood for,
you could call "old-fash-
ioned.p
She proclaimed the dignity
and rights of individuals. HUI
man beings We're not meant,
she told the world, TO think
and act and live in goose-step.

Mr.. Roosevelt acknowledged that
serious thought had been given to
the problem of co-relating Federal
housing activities. one OF the issues
being to integrate defense needs
with the established slum clearance
and rural housing improvement pro-
grams of the New Deal
The chief uncertainty. Mr.. Roose-
welt explained, is whether population
movements caused by defense needs
are going to prove permanent re-
locations.
Pointing out that the past year
has been largely an experimental
period, the President said he be-
lieved there had been some ad-
vantage in having three or four
Federal agencies competing with
each other and checking each other

Rentals for vacant units have in
creased 13 per cent since last JAM
uary. and only out of every 1000
dwellings in the District in habitable
condition and available for lmmedl-
ate occupancy are for rent today. 4
survey made by the Work Projects
Administration reveals.
The survey did not include rentals
Of dwelling units now occupied.
The survey. MADE at the request Of
the Division of Defense Housing Co.
ordination of the Office for Emer-
gency Management points out that
last January the rate was IS out OF
1000 dwellings in this category.
1t further discloses that the aver
age monthly rental asked for va
cancies in the District is $3.50. an
increase of l3 per cent over last
January. when the average was $50.
A further breakdown shows that the
average rental for white vacancies Is
$3.50 and colored vacancies, s35.
The average rent asked for habit
able vacancies in the combined area
of the District. nearby Virginia and
Maryland is $3.50. an increase OF
$3.50 since last January.
Two-Thirds Are $50 and Up.
Less than per cent of the vacant
units are available at a rental Of
less than $50 a month both in WASH
ington and the metropolitan area.
the report says. While the same pro-
portion of 5 per cent rents al $50
Or more. Two-thirds of the rentals
fall within the $50 to $40 a month
category
More than $1,000 dwelling units
were enumerated in the w P. A.
survey. Carefully chosen" samples
of every Goth dwelling unit in WASH
ington. every fifth unit IN Prince
Georges County and Alexandria.
every third unit in Arlington Coun-
ty and 2 of every Is units in Mont
gomery County were augmented By

The only types of dwellings eY-
cluded from the survey we're HouS-
ing Authority projects and Govern

Gross Vacancy Rate.
The gross vacancy rate. the re-
port said. was higher in the larger
area comprising the District, Ar
lington County. Alexandria and
those parts OF Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties living
within the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission area.
In the combined area 20 per cent
of all dwelling units were unoccu-
pied. OF these vacancies. however.
two-fifths were not for rent. most
of them being under construction
for owner occupancy.
Further it was said. the rental
vacancy rate in the combined area
was II per cent. but three -fourths
OF these vacancies. many in large
apartment developments. were still
under construction. The proper
ton Of habitable vacancies was thus
reduced 04 per cent. The average
rent asked also was about SO higher
than in the District proper.
