for a thousand pilots and a fast
liner.
That liner had to sail on. 1t

Answering earlier testimony that
much park space and other public
land could be used for temporary
housing, like Union Station Plaza,
the Mall, the golf courses and Hains

rector of the Alley Dwelling Author
ity, said his ONCE has endeavored
to find public land wherever pos
sible, but that mistaken impress
sion prevails as to the amount of 1t

Members of the committee indi-
Gated they would not agree to use
of the Capitol Grounds. which takes
in Union Station Plaza, and Mr.. Ihl-
der said Haines Point would not be
feasible. because it is subject to
spring flooding.
Senator La Toilette interrupted to
protest vigorously against taking all
of the pubic recreation areas for war
time housing.
What would happen to the
health and morale of all the people
here?" Senator La Folle~e contin-
ued. This town is already short Of

step-child areas"
The Senator said that, outside OF

Low Cost Housing Needed.
Senator Taft pointed out that yes

100000 in this bill for recreation.
He inquired what would be gained
by taking existing park areas for
housing, if it is to be replaced by
new park developments.
The Washington Housing Asso-
citation, in a statement presented by
Mrs. Helen D. Hoffman. stressed the
need for public housing for the low
income groups, contending private
housing is being built for the fam
lilies with $4,000 or more of income.
The association contended that the
evidence all contradicts the fear that
Washington will be a ghost city aft
er the war If permanent houses are
built for the emergency workers.
Washington needed 10000 low-cost
dwellings five years ago, the asso-
citation pointed out, and noted that
80 per cent of the War Depart
ments civilian personnel have in
comes under $1,000 a year
The committee hopes to finish the
hearings this afternoon.

would be for insurance companies
as whole to form pool-say IS

"A Government agency could be
established to work with the COM

Some Government fund should be

against loss greater than average,
so as not to imperils the solvency

Il don't want to see anything done

BALTIMORE, Feb 20.-State In

There is a tremendous demand

fact. that the Bureau predicted
another big crop Of babies this
year, even If large numbers of
married men are inducted into
the armed forces"
In 1921 there were many babies
because the A. E. F. had just
come home from France and was
re-establishing family life.
The baby crop was so big last
year that it exceeded deaths by
1.090, 900, thus increasing the Ma
tion's population by an amount
approximately equal to the popu-
lation of the State of Oregon.
In Germany, the bureau added,
the birth rate has been dropping
since the war and was last re-
ported at 20 per 1000 population
in 1910.

The Senate passed and sent to the
House yesterday legislation to au-

The measure was designed to meet

The births numbered about
2.500,000 and we're second only
to the $500 900 record set in 1921.
One reason for last years big

said. that large number of the
