A. D. A. 10 Build 200
DemountabIes on
Arlington Tract
lhIder Reveals PIons
For Wur-Worker Homes
To Civic Federation

The Alley Dwelling Authority will
build 200 demountable houses on the
Boyd tract behind Fort Myer in
Arlington, Va, as soon as the Army
makes the land available, John
Ihlder, executive officer of the A.
D. A., told the Arlington County
Civic Federation last night.
The Army is using the site now
for equipment, Mr.. Ihlder said. The
200 homes to be built there will be
part of the 1,750 dwelling units
which the A. D. A. intends to build
in Virginia this year, he declared.
Top cost of each home, accord
ing to Mr.. Ihlder. will be $4,000
He told the group that this was not
units to support themselves as far
as cost to the county is concerned.
However, the Federal Government
will make up the difference, Mr..
Ihlder indicated.
For War Department Workers.
The houses will be located in
groups of three or four, which Mr..
Ihlder said would make a more at
tractive appearance than if they
were detached but separated by
only a short distance They are in
tended for use by workers In the
new War Department Building in
Arlington.
Walter P. Hudgins, project de-
velopment assistant with the A. D.
A., told the federation that every
piece of property within two
mile radius of the new War Depart
ment Building was being examined
for possible use as a building site.
Land to be used, he explained, must
be level, available to sewer and
water service and must not cost
more than 81 500 an acre.
AS to sewer and water supply for
the new homes, Mr.. Ihlder said that
survey of existing facilities was
being conducted. He assured fed
Grafton members that present facili-
ties would not be curtailed.
Provision would be made for ad-
ditions to county schools rather
than new schools, Mr.. Ihlder said,
since new school probably would
not be necessary.
Fate After War Not Predicted.
Ernest Simpson, member of the
Lee Boulevard Purity Squad of the
federation, which has fought to keep
the boulevard free of commercial
ism, asked Mr.. Ihlder what assur-
ance there would be that the houses
would be torn down after the emer-
gency was over.
Nobody can make any promises
these days Mr.. Ihlder said. We
/ hope that these houses will be torn
down. That's as far as we can CO."
I'VE must provide shelter for the
war workers pouring into Washing
ton," he said. The longer We wait,
the more handicaps we will nave to
overcome"
The proposed $4,000 dormitory
units which will be built in the
Metropolitan Area to house war
workers will present q bombing haz-
ard. Mr.. Ihlder admitted, but he
emphasized that the danger of an
epidemic through over-c row d e d
housing was even more severe.
To prevent further over-crowding
Mr.. Ihlder said the Federal Govern
ment may be forced to ask workers
to come to Washington and to leave

Senators Asked
To Restore D. T..
Housing Cuts
Committee Members
Reported in Doubt
On Dwelling Needs
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Federal Housing officials went
before a Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee today to explain
the need for the $40, ,500,000 the
House cut from the 0,0OO 900
budget estimate to build accom-
modationS for war workers in
and near Washington.
When the subcommittee recessed
at noon until tomorrow morning, it
was still an open question whether
the subcommittee would raise the
House total of 500 SOC, 900.
One subcommittee member init
mated that some Of the Senators
still were in doubt as to the need
for the full amount at this time, but,
he added, it is too early in the hear
ings to predict the outcome.
At todayis executive session John
B. Blandford. jr., administrator of
the new National Housing Agency,
was the first witness and is under
| stood to have stressed the need for
the 1000 family units. estimated to
cost $4,000, 900, which the House
turned down.
The remaining s2,50O, 1000 of the
House reduction was taken from
the allotment for sewer. water, hos
pitals and other public facilities to
supply the new housing.
Thus, as it passed the House. the
bill carried $12000,0 900 instead of
$50, 900 900 for housing and $l7,5OO,-
600 instead of $40 900 900 for munici-
pal facilities.
Baird Snyder, III, acting admins
traitor of the Federal Works Agency.
said that if the Senate restores the
full amount for housing it would
be essential to put back the amount
cut from related facilities.
| The $4,000 900 allowed by the
House for housing provides only for
dormitories for 5000 single persons.
leaving nothing for family units.
Pending the hearing OF further
evidence, Senator Mcclellan, Demo-
crat, Of Tennessee. chairman of the
subcommittee. has not revealed his
views on restoring the cuts.
Senator Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana, said he hopes the Ap-
preparations Committee will restore
the cut, but If it does not he will
make a fight for the full amount
on the floor of the Senate.
The Louisiana Senator is not a
member Of the appropriations group,
but handled the enabling act for
the Education and Labor Commit
tee, and believes firmly that at
least $4,000 900 is needed. He
pointed out that the Senate oriei-
nally voted for $4,000, 900 in the
enabling act, but had to agree to a
s50,000.000 authorization in con-
ference with the House.

of the so-called American way of
life is only colossal self-deceit
which cannot 60 on"
The Bishop said the church Of to-
day by bold and daring preaching
must accept and practice stern
discipline" Stressing the perils of
disunity, he said that all churches
must cooperate to insure the whole
Christian body against the assault
now waged upon it.

not rest our case in tradition, for it
is not what we have done, but
rather in what we are prepared to

Mr.. Wainwright said police are in

which cannot be identified. The
