Project
Mayor Gibson Granted
Permit for 80-Unit
Development
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FALLS CHURCH. Va, Jan. 13.-
A 100000 apartment project in
Falls Church was approved by the
town council last night when per-
NIT was granted to Mayor B. N.
Gibson to build an 80-unit develop
ment on a 5-acre tract fronting on
Fairfax street south of Broad street.
The development. consisting of
buildings containing four apart
ments each, will have off-street
parking and Fairgrounds, Mr., Glib
son said. The apartments will con-
sist of four rooms each.
Mr.. Gibson, in requesting the per-
NIT, said he was undertaking the
project at the request of the Federal
Housing Administration. which
came to him with the project to
help solve the Capitals defense
housing needs.
F. H. A. wanted to start the prof.
ect within 10 days and have it
completed within 120, the council
was told.
The site was bought by Mr. Gibson
three years ago for a school at the
request of school authorities when
the owner refused to sell to the
town. The town, however. never
bought the land from Mr.. Gibson,
the Council was told.
The building permit, granted
after considerable discussion, was
made subject to existing regula-
tions and the approval of immedi-
ate neighbors of the proposed de-
velopment. Mr.. Gibson told the
Council he had obtained the ap-
proval of families adjacent to the
tract
Some Councilmen questioned
whether granting of the permit
would set a precedent for allowing
apartment developments in Falls
Church. Mr.. Gibson said there al
ready were apartments in the town,
that this proposal violated no town
ordinances and that it would be
preferable to the type of housing
provided In some Government
projects.

Hitler used to tell people in al

At other times he'd claim he had

of course such things are not done

/ doubt very much whether he
ever wore that silk hat again. fol-
he himself must have been con-

cut in it. Most Of his parties be-

but here again l have the feeling
that il was all part Of his personal

way of combing his hair. which Is

In building around himself and
the fuehrer title sort of halo
designed TO fasten his hold on the
masses, he made II a special point
TO capitalize his bachelorhood by
having himself quoted around town
repeatedly as saying that he Is

must endure personal Loneliness
and sacrifice his desire for nor
NAL family life
