Government has taken over the top
three floors of so rooms at the
Raleigh.
The BritiSt are considerably be-
hind our Government in apartment
occupancy, but they are gaining
fast. The survey shows they occupy
entirely seven apartments tofaling
266 units, and one hot the
Grafton, of $50 rooms. One o. these
apartments, 1875 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV, where the late Secretary
of the Treasury Andrew Mellon
once lived, has only six units, but
there are about 20 rooms to the
unit. There are, in addition-but
not included in the totalation of
housing units'-four big mansions
from which the Government oper-
ates, including the Letter Mansion,
1900 New Hampshire avenue.
Except for the Boulevard, there
are no figures available as to the
number of housing units in good
condition which the Government
has RACED in carrying out its office
building program here. But these
would probably number several hun
dred in the Southwest and North
west sections.
Mostly in High Rent Glass.
Virtually allthe housing units con-
verified into offices are in the medium
and higher rental brackets, for
which there is the greatest demand.
The S. P. A. 3. recently ruled that
no building materials Of which there
is shortage would be available for
houses to sell for more than $4,000
or for apartments to rent for more
than $50 month. So it will be i'm
possible for private builders to re-
place units taken away from apart
ment jewellers. and a vast majority
OF Government workers occupy quar-
tiers for which they pay more than
$50.
The Office of Defense Housing Co.
ordinator Charles H. Palmer says
its hands are tied in providing
Washington with needed housing.
due to restrictions of the Lanham
Public Housing Act. This act pro-
hibits erection of housing. except
for enlisted and civilian employees
of the War and Navy who work on
reservations of tie departments. 1t
makes possible two projects for Navy
Yard employees now under construc-
ton in Anacostia, but does not pro-
vide for the hundreds of new en-
ployes in War and Navy Department
Offices here or for other Government
agencies.
An amendment to the Lanham
Act to permit erection of public
housing for other defense workers
is now before Congress. Mr.. Pal
mer's Office, in anticipation of pas
sage of the amendment, is busy
programming projects for the Capt.
tai. His office also is completing a
survey of housing condition here,

units are to be built by Government

The only other Government hous-
ing projects actually under way
here which might be termed de-
Tense work are the two big rooming
houses for woman workers. The
first of these, in the 2100 block of
D street NV, will have 26O rooms

will have more than 600 rooms. 1t

Thousand Copies Printed : Distri-
 buted 10 Food Experts

Planned to spread the knowledge of Alaska's canned salmon as 2 nutritious and economical food among home economists, home dem- onstration agents and others who influence the food habits of mil- lions, the National Gamers Asso- citation has recently issued an at tractive,.. l4-page booklet called Canned Salmon-What It Is-- How to Use It."
 The booklet is profusely illustrat- ed with attractive wood cut illus trations of salmon fishing an d packing scenes as well as with several interesting drawings of AL aska coast line scenery.
 The text of the booklet recounts briefly the history of salmon, and describes the fishing and packing activities that take place each summer in Alaska. Food values cf salmon, the economic value of the pack, and suggested recipes for sal mon dishes make up the rest of the booklet.
 Twenty thousand copies of the booklet have been printed, and distribution is made primarily among food experts who are con- tinually talking food to consumer groups about meal planning. Thus the influence of this educational effort among housewives is expect ed to be many times the number of booklets printed.
