New Housing
Is Assured III
Eyicted Families
CoIored Residents
Get Status of
Wur Workers

New living quarters have been as
sured the l12 colored families, who
have been ordered by the Govern
ment to yacate their homes along
the route of the proposed military
access road from Boiling Field to
Camp Springs tMd.) airport. John
Ihlder, executive officer of the Ma
tionai Capital Housing Authority,
disclosed today.
Because they are being evicted
by the War Department, the fami-
lies have been given the status Of
Immigrant war workers. making
them eligible to occupy public war
housing projects, MIR. Ihlder said.
Polled by the NCHA, 10 of the lit
families said that despite the criti-
cal shortage OF housing accommodate
tions for colored residents in the
District area, they have been able to
find new places TO live, Mr.. Ihlder
reported.
houses 10 BE round.
Room for the remaining 80 fami-
lies will be found Immediately in
four NCHA colored housing projects,
he said.
Twenty-Five will be placed in tl1e
Nichols avenue houses, on Nichols
avenue Sc. between Sumner and
Sheridan roads, where the necessary
units are being rushed to compile
ton and will be ready within about
two weeks.
The remaining II soon-to-be-
eyicted families will be given homes
in the Barry Farm Dwellings prof.
ect, on Sumner road Sc, in the
Anthony Bowen houses, near Canal
and M streets S.W., or in the Park
side dwellings ON Kenilworth ave-
nue. and Hayes street NE.
War Workers Must Wait.
The living quarters that viii be
rented to the evicted families, MIR.
Ihlder said, had been promised to
colored war workers and their fam
lilies. These war workers must now
wait until the first of next year,
when TAO NCHA units for colored
persons will be ready for occupancy,
before there will be space for them
in Government housing projects.
Mr. Ihlder explained that the
NCHA knew nothing of the impend-
ing eviction ofsthe 112 families from
hn 5fey Dkx
two weeks ago and so had made no
provision for housing them. When
the Housing Authority learned of
the plight of the 112 families, it de-
cided to cancel its promises to the
war workers, who already were
housed in some fashion, rather than
let the eyicted families go homeless.
Division Held Necessary.
Division of the families among
four housing projects was necessary.
Mr.. Ihlder said, because not enough
vacant units could be provided in
any one project.
Construction Of the 5000 units
authorized by the National Housing
Agency two weeks ago will greatly
ease the shortage of colored hous-
ing, but still other living quarters
will be needed here, Mr. Ihlder said.
Two years ago, when the MIA
planned its war housing program,
indications were that virtually all
Immigrant war workers would be
white, he explained. The number
of colored workers coming here to
aid in the war effort has been
greater than expected, overtaxing
the already limited housing facili-
ties for colored people.

The budget estimates again pro-

The requests include no proposed
fund for street widening. An in

sought for Federal aid road work,
but even the proposed 1945 total
would be less than that extended In

Capt. Whitehurst showed that
the average outlay for all highway

really get the works. We are still
underclassmen until new class
comes in and in the meantime we
get the works from the upper class,

We get braced before each forma-

pop to and they ask you everything
and you are supposed to know every
thing, and pulling your shoulders
back till you can hold dime be-

reaching for the ground at the same
time, and keeping your chin down
in your throat till you get 1000
wrinkles in it, and can't even talk,
then you are supposed to shout
your answers loud enough so they
can hear you couple of blocks
away.
You get SO mad you don't know
whether you are coming or going
but then you relax because you re-
member you can do it to the upper
class on Black Friday, and during
all that time you are figuring every
thing you are going to tell them
