Just when it seemed that the
Army mule had followed the
brontosaurus and the porter
house steak into history, along
comes news from the North At
rican front that provides fresh
material for the honorable saga
of Jenny, the Missouri Nighin-
gale.
Jenny's road back was a steep
and rocky one. But it was just
the sort of road to give Jenny a
chance TO wither jeeps and
peeps with the nearest thing to
a horse laugh that this hardy n.y.
brid can produce. 1t even show
ed Jenny that she could beat
the well-regarded camel by sew
eral lengths on its home track.
Specifically, this road was a
series Of steep and narrow trails

Two Houses Converted for Use
OfWor Workers Open Tuesday
Public Will Inspect First Apartments
Completed Under MIA Lease PROGRAM

The first two houses in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area to be con-
verted into apartments for war
workers under the National Housing
Agency's lease conversion program
have been completed and will be
open Tuesday for public inspection.
The house belonging to Brig. Gen.
and Mrs. Duncan K. Major, jr., at
908 Cameron street, Alexandria, was
the first property in the United
States leased for conversion. The
papers were signed November 10.
The other house is the property of
A. M. Duval at 1927 M street NV.
The houses, leased to the Gov
ernment for seven years through
the Home Owners Loan Corp, have
been turned over to private real
estate firms to manage, but ten
ants are furnished by the War
Housing Centers.
While all tenants must be war
workers. in the Alexandria house,
only families with children have
been taken,
Large Rooms and Big Yard.
Miss Barbara Watkins, director
of the Alexandria War Housing
Center, said the large rooms and
big yard of the Major house made

1t an ideal place for families with
children and since these families
have trouble finding homes they
should be given preference.
The M street house now contains
three apartments, one with two bed
rooms and two one-bedroom units,
while the Alexandria house has six
one-bedroom apartments. They will
rent for $3.50 to $50 month, in
cluding utilities. The M street rent
scale is $50 to sos, including utilities.
A Washington furniture firm is
furnishing one apartment in each
house for display, and the houses
will be open for inspection for 10
days following the openings.
At the M street house, members
Of the Washington War Housing
Center Advisory Committee and
MIA officials will attend the OPEN
ing at 10:30 am. Tuesday. John A.
Reilly, president of the Second Ma
tional Bank, is chairman of the
committee and Clarence A. Arata,
secretary Of the Washington Board
of Trade, is secretary.
In addition, Marvin Wire, director
of the Washington War Housing
Center, and John Gohegan, Hole
representative. will be present.
"Open House" Planned.
Members of the Alexandria War
Housing Center Advisory Commit
tee, of which David Haddock is
chairman, will act as hosts, and
Mayor William T. wilkins, City
Manager Carl Budwesky and men,
bers of the City Council have been
invited. MIA officials will explain
the conversion program.
Miss Watkins expressed the hope
that property owners who have
houses or buildings that might be
suitable for conversion will visit the
Cameron street house.
To date, six conversion leases have
been signed in Alexandria, and will
make Al dwelling units available.
The Major house was built in 1898
and came into Mrs. Majors pos
session in 1918. She and Gen. Major
moved out in 1928. and since that
time have leased 1t both as a private
dwelling and as rooming house.
The ee-story house now has
three apartments on the first floor,
two on the second and one on the
third. The yard is at the disposal
of all tenants for Victory gardens
and for childrens playground.
Some of the apartments have fire.
places in both living room and bed
room.
Government to Pay Taxes.
The conversion costs, advanced by
the Government, will be amortized
from rentals over the seven-year
period of the lease. The Govern
ment, during the lease, will pay all
taxes and mortgage payments, re-
turning the buildings to their owners
greatly enhanced in value.
The HOLC allows a maximum of
$500 for conversion OF each unit.
and in the case of the two completed
houses the average cost was $1,132
per unit.
The cost of converting the M street
house was $4,000, or an average of
$1,433 per unit, and the Major house
was renovated at a cost of $3.50 so.
or 1891 per unit.
