War Housing Center
Lists 5000 Rooms
As Vacant Here

More than 5000 rooms in privately
operated houses here and a Com
siderable number" Of one-room and
one-bedroom apartments now are
listed with the War Housing Center
as vacant, Marvin Wire, director Of
the center, disclosed today.
At the same time Mr.. Wire esti-
mated the need for rooms has
dropped off at least so per cent since
last spring." and said the War Hous-
ing Center no longer is soliciting the
listing Of rooms by rooming house
operators and private home owners.
None of the available apartments
and only few of the rooms are for
Negro occupancy, however, he
pointed out.
Public Housing Vacancies.
Mr.. Wires statement followed an
announcement several weeks ago by
National Housing Agency officials,
which disclosed that more than 1000
apartments for white occupancy are
vacant in publicly financed housing
developments here.
Mr.. Wire said he believed the un-
usually high number of vacancies in
both private and public housing Is
due to the fact that builders recently
have completed large number of
dwelling units and placed them on
the rental market.
Present vacancies do not indicate
an oversupply of apartments for
white families, he said, expressing
confidence that all the apartments
soon will be rented.
Mr.. Wire pointed out that all the
apartments now available through
the War Housing Center are of re-
cent construction, and therefore can
be occupied only by war workers and
their families. Most of the units
are in nearby Virginia and Mary
land, or in the Northeast and South
east sections of the District, he said.
Explains Room Vacancies.
The large number OF room vacan-
cies also IS an outgrowth of the 81
multaneous completion of many new
apartment developments, Mr.. Wire
said. Numerous war workers who
formerly lived in rooms have moved
into the new apartments. In addi-
ton. increasing numbers of war
workers are bringing their families
to Washington, due to the easing
of the critical shortage of apart
ment accommodations.
Although occupancy of rooms is
not restricted to war workers, Mr..
Wire said he did not know if all
the rooming accommodations now
available for white persons would be
rented. The more than 5000 vacant
rooms now on War Housing Center
rolls all meet Government standards
Of health, safety and comfort, he
added.

Ecclesiastical developments in
Moscow-once the antireligious CEN

closely by official and diplomatic
quarters here.
Marshal Stalins recent approval
of the organization of a holy synod
and election of Metropolitan Sergei
as patriarch of the Russian Ortho-
dox Church was considered signifi-
cant enough in itself as possible

church functioning in collaboration

preme Council of the USSR, of

emphasized the apparent trend
toward coordination of church and
state.
Appeal to Christians.
What particularly impressed some
observers of Soviet developments,
however, was a proclamation of the
Orthodox Church last week appeal
ing to Christians of all countries
to unite in defense of their faith
against Fascism. This appeal, COM
ing from the place where the
Comintern used to call on pro-
letarians of all countries to unite
against capitalist exploitation, was
sharp reminder of the distance
travelled in Moscow since the hey
day of the militant Goddess League.

light of worldwide anxiety for the
safety of the Vatican, now ringed
