The japanese dead are strewn
in long. irregular line along the

the Tenaru River. In places, they
are lying three deep.
These dead are testimony to the
fierce efforts which the Japs made
TO cross this bridgehead and storm
the strong American forces on the
west bank of the Tenaru.
Beyond the sandbar, in the CO.

Tenaru, amidst the stumps OF

On the way we stopped at TIM

we didn't have time. However, We
saw many of the natives there and

The soldiers and most Of the whites
there were leaving the city because
of the intense heat.
We also stopped ut practically
every other town between Gao and
Koulikoro on the river. On this
stage Of the trip we saw many
crocodiles and, to our amazement,
about 10 hippos. They were quite
interesting. Every time we passed
them they would emerge and yawn
and watch us with the most intent
look in their eyes.
There are game laws in Africa,

cause there are so few left.
The trip finally came to an end
after IL days. We were very glad
to get on terra firma again. Docked

Bamako. We arrived at Bamako to-
day at noon, very exhausted.

At the same time, the Navy an
nounced the promotion of Frank j.
Reiser of Arlington, Va. from the
rank of ensign to lieutenant junior

flight instructor at the Jackson

The two embryo Washington fly
ers were commended at graduation

commandant of the Jacksonville Air
Center.
Ensign Paul is the son of Mrs.
w. E. Paul, 27l5 Dumbarton avenue

project nor is it designed for relief
Of those of low salary
Another point for Mr.. Cogswell to
determine is whether Meridian Hill,
under definition of the rent law, is
a hotel or rooming house. A hotel
license was obtained for the place,
but the rent law differs from Hcens-
ing regulations in definition. If 1t
is ruled a rooming house the rent
administrator would be able to fix
rentals.
An effort was made to find out
the rentals to be charged in other
defense homes projects here. such
as Mclean Gardens, which will have
both rooms and apartments; Sem
mary Heights, the even larger de-
velopment in Arlington, and the
hotels for colored women and men.
Rentals to be charged in those
developments will be governed by
cost of construction, which cannot
be determined until the jobs are
substantially completed, it was said.
One source said rentals in the hotels
for colored would be about the same
as Meridian Hill Furniture of
similar high quality has been pur-
chased for the two structures. If
this is true, the high rates will i'm
pose an even greater hardship on
colored workers.
An interesting point is brought up
concerning DHC apartments at Nc
Lean Gardens and elsewhere The
War Production Board, in granting
priorities, specifies that no housing
unit shall rent for more than $50 a
month, shelter rental. 1t is possible
to increase the limit slightly by at
taching various service charges. It
should prove interesting to discover
how the Government will come out
on these housing investments.
Defense Homes is controlled by a
Board of Directors, composed of the
following RFC officials: Sam Hus-
bands. president; M. J. McGrath,
executive vice president; George
Williams, vice president; Howard
Klossner, Henry Mulligan, William
G. Costello and James Dougherty
general counsel. The corporation was
set up with a $4,000 900 ALLEGATION
from the President With this
capitalization it has borrowed some
| 10000 900 from RFC to build hous-
ing in Washington and other defense
areas.
DHC housing activities were
merged under the National Housing
Agency in President Roosevelt's
February order consolidating all
housing agencies, While it was
understood stock in the corporation
has been turned over to National
Housing Administrator John B
Rlandford, jr., Mr.. Blandford has
asked directors to carry along tenn
porarily. Eventually, it was said. the
directorate will comprise housing
officials as we'll as men from the
RFC.

Three Months Seen
As Ample 10 Build
Plaza Dormitories
Public Buildings Head
Testifies at Hearing
Of House Committee

William E. Reynolds, commission
er of public buildings, said today
the proposed dormitories in Union
Station Plaza to house new Govern
ment employees until they find suit
able rooms elsewhere can be ready
for occupancy within three months.
The plans are for 897 beds for
white women in the areas south and
east of the Union Station and 98
beds for colored women in the areas
south and west of the station. The
cost of construction and furniture is
estimated at $3.50 a bed, or close
to 100000 for the entire project.
1t is thought the time newcomers
will occupy the dormitories will be
two to three weeks and the project
would take care of 1000 per month.
Mr.. Reynolds testified at a con-
tinued hearing today before the
House Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee. The appropriation al
ready has been made for construc-
ton of these dormitories, and the
present hearings are to determine
whether Congress will release the
proposed sites, step requiring an
act Of Congress.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Rey-
nolds said it is necessary to bring in
a considerable number of employees
for the Army and Navy, and slight
increase in personnel for the War
Production Board. He said those
who are trying to hold down the
numbers to be brought here do not
know the effect of recent legislation
regarding the OPA. This agency
had been discussing necessity for
5000 employees and an effort is now
being made to see If this can be held
down to 1000.
The estimated cost for occupants
Of the proposed dormitories would be
approximately $25 for food and $25
for rent per month.
The hearings will be continued
next week after the legislative pro-
gram has been determined, Chair
man Lanham announced.
