Measure 10 Provide
u. ). Workers Homes
Here Is Planned
Would Replace Clause
Stricken From Lonhom
Defense Housing Bill

A separate bill may be offered In
Congress soon to provide additional
housing facilities for Government
employees In defense agencies here,
whose necds were eliminated few
days ago from the new $50, 900 900
Lanham defense housing bill, which
will go to the President for sigma
ture this week.
Representative Lanham, Demo-
crat, of Texas. sponsor of the ma
tional program, and Senator FL
lender, Democrat, of Louisiana, who
handled the measure for the Senate,
both declared yesterday they IA
vored further separate action to
meet the housing needs of the cleri-
cal force engaged in defense work in
Government bureaus here.
Mr.. Lanham said he believed some
provision should be made for these
defense workers, but the question
of the form Of legislation or who
would introduce 1t is still in the
discussion stage.
Clause Stricken Out.
The Lanham Act as finally agreed
to in conference last week calls for
housing industrial workers at de-
fense factories, with some provision
for officers quarters at military
posts. The Senate also wrote into
the bill a clause, making employees
OF the United States whose duties
are essential to the national de-
fense" eligible, but it was stricken
out in conference with the House.
If the Senate provision had been
retained, it is understood that one
of the Government housing agencies
probably would have been allotted
sufhcient funds to provide $500
homes for Government employees in
the lower salary brackets, between
$1,000 and $4,000 q year.
The need for such a group OF
dwelling units was listed as part Of
a general three-point program is
sued last month by defense housing
officials for Washington and the
surrounding Metropolitan Area.
Contemplated $4,000 Units.
That general program contem-
plated a total of $4,000 dwelling
units, Of which private builders
would erect 10000. These privately
built homes would be for defense
employees, however. and designed to
sell for not more than $1,000, or to
rent for not more than $50 a month.
The second phase Of the program
calls for erection of $500 apartment
units by the Defense Homes Corp,
a subsidiary of r. F. c. These units
will be one and two bedroom with
kitchenette apartments for women
coming here in large numbers to
work in defense agencies.
The $500 homes which it had been
hoped could be built with funds al
located from the new Lanham bill
formed the third point of the gen.
eral program. Elimination of the
Government employe amendment
from the Lanham bill, there
fore. reduces the general housing
program here from $4,000 to 1850
units
