Senator Burton Inspects
FPHA Development
In Nearby Virginia

The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority trailer camp on Queen street
near Columbia pike in Arlington is
being removed, it was learned today
because the camp is run down and

tor of the FPHA, explained the de-
cision to remove the 116-unit camp,

ments in nearby Virginia.
Approximately so of the colored
families already have been moved
from the camp and the remaining

quarters for about IS families are
being found in the George Carver
Homes, a 100-unit FPHA develop
ment nearby, while about As families

roads.
Home Shortage Acute.
The trailers were placed on the
queen street site more than two
years ago to provide temporary ac-
commodations for colored families
who were forced out of their houses
by the construction of roads around
the Pentagon. Because of the crit
ical shortage of housing for Negroes
IN Arlington, the FPHA has been
unable to place these families until
now, Mr.. Winston said.
Senator Burton inspected the
FPHA housing developments in Vir-
ginia today in order to compare
them with public housing units built
