D. G.. Heads Issue
Appeal; 10000
More Coming Here

In an effort to assure living quar-.
ters Tor thousands Of defense work.
ers expected to be added TO the
Government force during tho next
several months, the Commissioners
have issued . formal appeal to al
home owners In the District to pro-
vide space, on q rental basis, for at
least one Government war worker
during the emergency.
Acting on request made Wednes-
day by Chairman Downs Of the
House Subcommittee on Decentran.
Iation of Federal Activities, the Com.
missioner last night issued a formal
proclamation urging residents to
help relieve the housing problem
by opening their homes to defense
employees.
Must Settle In New Offices.
Citizens would list all available
rooms with the Defense Housing
Registry by the present plan. but
the registry requested yesterday that
householders postpone such action
until further notice.
1t was explained that until the
registry Is transferred to its new
quarters next week in q building
constructed for 1t in front of the
District Building at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV, it
will not be in a position to handle
a greatly increased volume OF busi-
ness. The date of moving will be
made public promptly.
The Commissioners proclamation
said:
THE attention OF the Commis.
sioners Of the District of Columbia
has been called to the fact that, in
addition to the large number of war
workers who are already living in
Washington, it is estimated that
over 10000 additional workers will
come to this city during the next 10
months, and the greatest problem
OF our government is finding living
quarters for these people.
Remind Of Military Trials.
THE Commissioners, therefore,
appeal to the home owners of the
District to rent decent living accom-
modations to at least one Govern
ment worker during this emergency.
while 1t may be true that the
home owners will suffer some dis
comfort, yet they should remember
that our young men, who are being
asked to leave comfortable homes to
protect our homes, our liberties and
our futures, are likewise going to
suffer discomfort.
I'VE feel sure that our citizens
are as patriotic as the people in
other sections of the country, and
accordingly we look forward con-
fidently to prompt response to this
appeal"
The Commissioners sent letter
to Chairman Downs, informing him
of their action. In answer to an
inquiry from Mr.. Downs, Commis-
sioner Young informed him that
records of tthe assessors Office in
dicate that there were 104082 pri-
vate homes in the District as of
July l, 194l. This figure does not
include apartments.
Quarters Biggest Problem.
In requesting the Commissioners
to appeal to home owners, Mr..
Downs and Representative Manasco,
Democrat of Alabama. member Of
the decentralization subcommittee,
said:
I'VE have had great difficulty in
finding Office space. but our great
est problem is finding living quar-
ters for these people"
They said they believed that room
could be made for the 10000 addi-
tional workers "if the people here
