Mr.. Martin told reporters the

He confirmed reports that Wen

Southwest HOUSING
Project Pushed at
Lanham Bill Hearinq
Senators Show Interest in
Plun to Build Homes
For 1000 Families

Plans developed informally by
the Home Owners Loan Corp.
for reconstruction of a nine
block area in the Southwest sec
tion as part of the war housing
program created wide interest
among members of the Senate
Education and Labor Committee
today, considering the $50, 900 900
Lanham bill for housing and
public works in Washington.
After Arthur Goodwillie, director
of Conservation Service of H. o. l..
c.. had outlined the plan, which
contemplates making provision for
900 families in the area extending
from Delaware avenue to Fourth
street, F. to I streets, Chairman
Thomas told Mr.. Goodwillie his task
would be to convince the Federal
Works Agency, which will allocate
the funds. The chairman indicated
he saw no reason why the agency
could not consider that along with
all other plans.
Later Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin, said if the bill
does not permit it's consideration,
would like to see it included"
He asked John Ihlder, executive
officer of the Alley Dwelling author
ity, what he thought of it.
Ihlder Interested.
Mr.. Ihlder said he was much in
terested in the suggestion, provided
two problems could be solved,
namely:
First, can we increase the popu-
lation in that area at reasonable
cost; second, can we take care OF
the people who would have to be
rehoused."
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico said he was very strongly
impressed" regarding it as one OF
the best suggestions advanced.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said he thought it was very inter-
esting," If it could be done with the
cost figures Mr.. Goodwillie gave.
Pointing out that there are now
900 families in the nine-block area,
Senator Taft said that If 900 families
could be provided for by improving
existing property and adding more
permanent construction for $3, ,100,-
900, and if other housing could be
made available for the 600 families
now there for another 81 ,020, 900, as
testified, it would be worth con-
sidering. The Senator indicated
however, he was somewhat doubtful
it could be done for that.
Could Rebuild IS Blocks.
Mr.. Goodwillie, who prepared the
plan which has been under study
by the defense housing co-ordi-
nator's Office for some. time, ex-
planned to the committee how alto
gether IS city blocks in the South
west section could be rebuilt to re-
lieve Washington's acute war hous-
ing situation at a $50 ,000, 900 cost.

tee also was urged by Roger j
