Projects Ordered
Held Up Here
Two Others Are Cancelled
Pending q Resurvey
Of Housing Needs

Plans to construct four girl DOR
mitory projects with a capacity of
more than 1000 beds have been
held up pending a "resurvey of
housing needs" in the Metropolitan
Area, 1t was learned yesterday.
Two other projects involving
1000 beds have been cancelled out
right with the discovery that the
four dormitories faced indefinite
postponement."
This was learned during a tour
Of Federal Housing projects in the
Metropolitan Area some $4,000
units costing an estimated $S5, ,0O0,-
600, conducted by of1icials of the
Federal Public Housing Authority
and the District Alley Dwelling
Authority.
Joseph c. Gray, assistant to Oliver
c. winston, FPHA director, revealed
the delay. saying conferences be-
tween various Federal departments
were being held with view towards
resurveying war housing needs in
this area.
Questionnaires Sent Out.
Questionnaires are being sent
girls in Government offices. includ-
ing the giant Pentagon Building to
determine their housing conditions
and. the Civil Service Commission
and related agencies are being
queried as to number OF workers
expected to pour into Washington
within the next few months.
Contrary to what appears to be
popular belief, it was said, many
Federal officials expect a falling-of1
in the number of new war workers
within the next eight months with
a corresponding drop in need for
additional housing accommodations.
Projects affected by the move are
the Arlington Farms project, with a
total of 1888 beds, located on Ar
lington Ridge road in Arlington,
Va; the East Potomac Park project,
with a contemplated ATS beds, To-
Gated at the East Potomac Park golf
course; the Stadium project, with
6S4 beds, located at Twenty second
and B streets Sc, and another pro-
iect with TIT beds. the site for which
had not been selected.
Cancelled Outright.
Projects cancelled outright were
two planned for construction at the
Union Station Plaza, Mr.. Gray said,
with 1000 beds. Delay was at first
met. Mr.. Gray said, in obtaining
clearance for construction OF the
units. When the question Of real
housing need was injected into the
picture, it was decided to cancel the
projects.
Four other dormitory projects
with 1885 beds are in various stages
of completion, ranging from the 20

holder described 1t, developed when
it was learned that through a mis-
take" in gas rates, some of the
residents are paying more for heat
ing and cooking gas than they
are for rent.
One housewife revealed that al
though she paid $32 so a month rent
for her three-bedroom home, she
paid $35 last month for gas.
Mr.. Gray explained that due to
dlmculties in obtaining gas meters
all homes stemmed from a master
meter" which meant that there was
a drain on the source from some
homes. This, coupled with a mis-
take" in arranging for gas rates
mad raised rates in all homes at the
project.
He said that the difficulties were
being ironed out and he expected
the gas bills there to be cut ne-half
or more.
Experimental" Homes.
-Four types OF experimental
homes were seen at the Cameron
Valley project, with varying de-
grees OF success in construction

The types were the so-called

A third method is the pre-cast
concrete slab construction. Here
the concrete slabs are readymade
and form the outside of the house.
The fourth method Is a combina-
ton Of the rammed earth and
bitulithic block methods.
