Asked afterward to amplify his
statement, Mr.. Ickes told newsmen
the White Houese doubtless would
be saying more on this subject soon.
There was no immediate COM
ment available at the White House.
While Mr.. Ickes did not amplify
his remarks, some of his listeners

Large Losses Suffered.

Housing Relief
Expected Here
In Six Months
4,307 Low-Rent
Dwellings Will Be
Completed. Says ADA

The District Alley Dwelling
Authority reported to Congress
today it expects to relieve the
housing shortage in the WASH
ington Metropolitan Area within
the next six months with at least
4,307 low-rent dwellings for war
workers.
This total may be exceeded" it
said. "if projects deferred because
of War Production Board restric-
tions can be constructed"
Activities of the ADA were de-
scribed in its annual report which
was transmitted to Congress by
President Roosevelt. The report
covers its operations for the fiscal
year ended June 30.
1,346 Units Completed.
That 12-month period, the ADA
said, marked the greatest con-
centration of planning and con-
struction activity of any year in its
history and resulted in completion
of 1,346 low-rent dwelling units, an
increase of 820 over the preceding
fiscal year. And at the end of the
last fiscal year, ADA said, it had
in variouss stages of planning ISL
dwellings of permanent construc-
ton and 1884 units of the demount-
able type.
These achievements were made,
the report pointed out, despite such
major handicaps as the lack of
manpower, the shortage of critical
materials, the difficulties in finding
sites and delays caused by WPB red
tape.
A classic case of red tape was
cited as follows:
"A recent example of the work
required for the filling of appar-
emily minor orders was a request for
an Al priority rating certificate to
cover the purchase of 36 screws for
bathtub overflow plates. The cost
of these articles was approximately
81; the time of workers in the pur-
chasing section in making the or
der. filling out the WPB application
form and following through was
approximately 81"
Job in Finding Sites.
The report declared that one of
the difficulties in providing low
cost housing lies in procuring sites.
The WPB, the ADA said, requires
that sites be adjacent to sewers
and water mains, because it will not
permit use of critical materials to
extend utilities across vacant land.
The authority pointed out it in
vestigated 127 sites in the Metro
politan Area and found only 81 that
were usable. Moreover, it said,
many of the usable sites were in the
comparatively high-cost residential
areas where home owners objected
to low-ocost housing construction for
fear the Government housing might
become permanent and injure the
value of their property.
The report was signed by David
Lynn, chairman of ADA, who
pointed out that the Authority's
program was drastically changed in
the last fiscal year as result of
the war and that, instead of contin-
uing it's program of slum area rec
lamation and providing dwellings
for those in the low-income groups,
1t had turned to providing housing
accommodations for war workers.

Eight Waterbury deputy sheriffs whose current four-year terms eX- pire June l are expected to be re- named shortly by High Sheriff j..

 In decreasing the length of ap- pointments, Sheriff Slavin said shorter terms would serve as a check on efficiency and also will ease the situation for servicemen who come back to resume positions as sheriffs.
