Life in Sluns
Is COntraSted
In Broadcast
Former Resident
Tells of Benefits
At Fort Dupont

Life in one of Washington's slum
areas was contrasted with life in
the new Fort Dupont unit of the
Alley Dwelling Authority by one of
the residents of the new unit on the
radio program, The Consumer
Wants to Know" broadcast yester-
day over Station WJSV.
Mrs. Leaford Chastain told how
her family of four formerly paid $26
monthly rent for room in an old
dwelling designed for one family but
housing five. The house had one
bath, scanty hot water and insufi-
cient heat, she said, and the nearest
park for the children was across
both Pennsylvania and Constitution
avenues.
In the Fort Dupont unit she pays
a rental of 500 for a four -and-a-
half-room house with private bath
and utilities included. There also is
play space in front of the house and
woods all around, she said
Mrs. Chastain was interviewed by
Mrs. Cynthia Wentworth Hannum
on the program, which was one of
series arranged Jointly by the
Washington League of Women
Shoppers and the Voteless District
League of Women Voters.
Life for herself, her husband and
two young sons has been improved
generally for the Chastain family,
Mrs. Chastain reported Since we
have been living here" she said,
"the children haven't had a single
cold. In the old place it was almost
impossible for them to get a full
nights sleep unless we went to bed
when they did or turned out the
lights. I was always worried to
death when the children played out
in front of the house. I was scared
to death of traffic, and I also used
to worry about the kind of play
mates they picked up on the street"
Mrs. Hannum remarked that in
the slums scattered throughout
Washington there are many dwell
ings "even worse than Mrs. Chas-
tain'S."
The Alley Dwelling Authority is
constructing about 5000 public low
rent dwellings in Washington, al
though the minimum need is esti-
mated at 10000, she declared.
That is all they can do without
further grants of money from Con-
gress," she said
A long-range housing program for
Washington will be discussed by Mrs.
George Barnes Gallagher on the
program next Saturday.

On Traffic
Brighter Side
Of Picture Is
Presented

Mrs. George C. Thorpe, chairman
of the Women's Safety Committee
of the District of Columbia Motor
Club, was guest speaker before the
Political Study Club yesterday, dis
cussing THE Brighter Side of the
Traffic Picture" in meeting at the
Washington Club.
Mrs. Thorpe reiterated major OBJ
jectives of her committee this year,
calling for municipality controlled
of-street parking facilities, a sep
arate traffic court and judge, an
increase of go in the Metropolitan
Police force and extension of driv-
ers' training course in local high
schools.
Mrs. Thorpe declared that If the
population were equally distributed.
among the cars in the United States
it would be possible for every man,
woman and child to be "on wheels"
at the same time.
Cites Car Ratio.
The ratio of cars to population
is one to five in the United States
as whole, she pointed out, and in
Washington it is even higher, with
one car to three residents in the
city as a whole.
The thought suggests itself that
the wonder is not that the casualty
record is as startling as it is, but
that it is not, in reality, worse" she
/ said.
