by private enterprise unaided, how

"Only out of that process can come

The broad national outlines OF
the need for housing in the postwar

Civic Planning Needed
For Postwar Housino
Job, B|andford Says

Effective preparations for a post
war housing program that will
achieve and maintain a production
rate of million or more new
houses a year will require close CO.
operation between industry and
Government in the housing field as
well as early decisions by communi-
ties on how much and what kind
Of housing they will need, John B
Blandford, jr., administrator of the
National Housing Agency, declared
today.
While big war-housing job is
still to be done. industry, commu-
mites and the Federal Government
must begin now to develop concrete
plans and programs for the peace
time period If postwar housing is
to be the huge outlet for jobs. ma
terials and investments that seems
to be generally expected, Mr.. Bland
ford said.
Job for Communities.
He emphasized that the RESPONSE
bility for originating specific postwar
housing programs rests with the
communities in which the housing
will be built and with their builders
and contractors, labor organizations,
lending institutions, real estate
boards, local housing authorities and
citizen groups.
while the charge is sometimes
made that the Federal Government
seeks to throttle local initiative in
housing, the fact is that the Ma
tional Housing Agency considers
housing to be fundamentally a job
for cities and communities to work
out for themselves" Mr.. Blandford
said.
I'VE consider housing to be pri-
marily a local problem, even though
the sum total of local housing ac-
tivities is of vital Importance to
the Nation as whole. We recog-
nize that the basic housing facts are
local facts, and we believe that ev-
cry community has the responsibility
of making its own housing plans
and setting up its own facilities for
executing those plans"
Cities and communities must,
therefore, equip themselves with the
necessary machinery for determin-
ing the housing needs and objec-
tives of all groups of their citizens,
Mr.. Blandford declared.
Cities Must Decide.
"Cities must decide whether they
want to be big or small, industrial or
residential" he continued. They
must make plans to replace their
wornout areas and decide how and
where they want to expand. They

Mu|tip|e-UnitH Housing
Protest |ndorsed by
Bradbury Heights

The Bradbury Heights Citizens
Association last night Endorsed the
report of the Federation of Citizens
Associations and the Southeast
Council of Citizens Associations
protesting the low-cost, low-rental
multiple-unit housing projects being
considered in the Southeast district
F. P. Randolph, who introduced
the motion, said such projects lower
the value of homes and property
Twelve property owners in the
vicinity are to be chosen to act as
a committee to 60 before the Dis
trict Zoning Board when, it meets
January 8.
A motion requesting the WASH
ington, Marlboro and Annapolis Bus
Co. to restore adequate service to
Bradbury Heights was proposed by
F. P. Randolph. In view of the
fact that Capitol Transit buses are
allowed to have express service to
outlying districts, citizens of the
area, he said, feel they are being
Disseminated against.
Andrew F. Crawford recon-
mended that the buses on the w.
M. and A line make a complete
circle of the area and establish the
end of the line at Ridge and Bowen
roads S E, instead of at Hillside and
Benning roads Sc, where there
is now wait of at least Is minutes
between trips.
A motion requesting the w., M
and A. president to act to provide
"a shelter built for passengers at
Barney Circle, Seventeenth and
Pennsylvania avenue Sc, was
passed. 1t also was suggested that
the policeman stationed at this point
be assigned to stay there one-halt
hour longer at the beginning and
end OF his patrol. 1t was also rec
commended that an additional traffic
light be placed at this point.

Building Permits Here
Decline 70 $4,000
During Last Week

Building permits issued this week
by Robert H. Davis, District inspec-
tor. amounted to little over $5O, 900,
most Of which was for repair work,
1t was reported today.
This declining trend which has
been evidenced here for several
months backs a statement issued
today by Secretary of Labor Perkins
that there is an expected drop In
building construction from some
S.400 900, 900 to $4,000, 10000 next
year, nationally.
Private construction expeditures
were lower in 1s43 than in any year
since 1884 and If the war continues
through 1914 Will probably approach
the level OF the bottom depression
year. Nonfarm residential construc-
ton expenditures in 1914 will
amount to approximately 5000 ,000,-
600 as compared with $756, 600, 900 in
1943. Practically all of this type of
construction will be found in critical
housing areas in war industrial CEN
ters.
AS IN 1943, privately financed nom
residential construction Is expected
to consist largely Of war plants and
should not total more than $1OO OOO,-
600 as against $148,00O,0O0 in 1943.
The outlook for farm construction
at this time indicates that the total
for 1914 will be about the same as
IN 1943. Public utility construction
expenditures amounted to approxi-
mately S400. 100000 in 1943 and the
prospects are that they will not ex-
ceed $310 100000 in 1914, she said.
The size of the 1914 public con-
struction program will be largely de-
termined by the need for new in
dustrial facilities and military and
naval construction At this time the
outlook is that not more than $780,
100000 will be spent for public war
housing in 1914 as compared with
expenditures of S62S,00O,0OO in 1943.
Nonresidential construction expendi-
lures, including those for industrial
facilities financed from public funds
are expected to total approximately
$3.50 100000 in 1914.
The preliminary estimate Of
these expenditures in 1943 is sl,737,-
100000. Direct military and naval
construction expenditures will prob
ably amount to no more than
$3.50 100000 in 1914, slightly more
than half Of the s2,474.0OO. 900 ex-
pended in 1943 There is still work
to be done on the strategic network
OF highways and on access roads and
flight strips
This work will maintain highway
expenditures at a level not far below
that of l943 when expenditures
totaled approximately S407,OOO. 900.
The total of all other Federal con-
struction expenditures will probably
not exceed S250,000,0OO in 1914 as
compared with s391 100000 in le43
State and local expenditures are ex-
pected to decline from about S11O,-
100000 in 1943 to not more than
$4,000, 900 in 1914" she reported.

Perhaps the answer to this win
ter's snow clearance problem Is a
pair Of snowshoes In every home.
If there isn't enough gasoline to
send out the snow removal cars, If
everyone in town has put his snow
shovel in the scrap heap, If cars and
buses aren't running very often, and
If a person has to walk to get food
and earn a living-OK. Wen have
to learn to walk in the snow.
AS remember my snowshoes era,
1t takes a bit longer to get places
on snowshoes than in ordinary shoes
on clear cement sidewalk. But
you can make it. And it's lots easier
than sinking into the snow with
high heels. All you have to do to
get to your destination Is: "a learn

and paddles attached to your shoes;

Nursery schools keep a daily
record of each child. On the cards
are indications of general behavior
that is. whether he was normal or
cross and "fussy.' which might in
dictate the beginning of cold. Also
listed are such bits Of data as
whether he had a nap, any medical
ton such as cod liver oil, and special
between-meal feeding of orange
Juice or matted milk.
The menu for the day is posted
and states whether or not the child
ate we'll or refused any of the food.
This is valuable informa ton, making
1t possible to plan the evening meal
to round out the days nutrition
count.
A general air of announcement
pervades the dining room. but urging
or rushing through the meal is con-
spicuous by its absence. The plate
luncheon Is served first. When COM
pleted the youngster takes his own
plate to the kitchen and is permitted
to pick up his milk and toast from
the buffet on the way back. When
this has been finished he Is per-
mitted to have his dessert.
