war workers must have proper
housing. You would not put
your pet spaniel in some of the
lean-tos they have had to en-

country.
Now this plan does not mean
you are 10 be asked 10 install
another cot in the room with
little Herbert or even TO put a
Shakedown on the living room

The thought is TO get property
owners whose properties are not

their own dough or borrow some
from private financial institu-
tlons and convert the properties,

teriatS makes it Impossible TO
provide new housing for the in
creasing migrations, the situa-
tion is more acute now than
ever. That is why this new idea
has been thought up.

cases not in what you would call

There are probably not
enough hotels and available
buildings in the production CEN
ters to meet this new emer-
gency. though the question OF
availability never bothered the
army. They Just took them. And
while / am talking about the
army, l might say l wish the
promoters of the share your

erty owners in army centers TO
rig up their vacant stores and
houses for the soldiers who
find themselves on leave in the
cities and no place TO rest their
weary bones.
THIS is something the gov
Il ernment should provide for
out of public funds, Of course,
but which like a lot of other
things pertaining to the welfare
of the soldiers has been left
10 the generosity of private
citizens. The citizens are doing
nobly in many places.
But il seems to me a crime
that soldiers should ever have
TO sleep in chairs and on the
floors of hotel lobbies and in
railroad stations and even on
sidewalks. when there are
empty stores and dwellings that
could be commandeered by the
government and fitted up as

DETROIT, June ga sociologist
who directed an inquiry among race
rioters reported tonight the large
war-induced influx of workers from
the South and other sections was
"almost no factor" in last Mon
days outbreak of fighting.
DR.. G. r. Ramsay, director of the
Michigan Department Of Social
Welfare, said he and staff of VOL
unteer assistants had questioned
nearly 500 persons arrested during
the riots and that "a majority of
those interviewed had lived in De-

he reported. There were: the riot
participants were employed in good

and they reported mo racial dis

ployment experiences" Most of

said.
One of the additional deaths re-
ported today was that of John Holy
ak, 59-year-old war worker, whose
son is a Japenese prisoner after be-
ing captured on Bataan. Mr.. Hol-
yak, en- route home from work Mon

The committee praised police
cleanup drives and the increasing
tendency to give thorough medical
examinations and blood tests to per-
sons taken in vice raids. The report
called, however, for closer co-opera-
tion between police and the courts.
It pointed out that the incidence
of syphilis and gonorrflea among
soldiers here increased lat per cent
during the last six months of 1942
and that the rate was not improved
In the first three months of this
year. Twenty-one public and pri-
vate clinics here for treatment OF
communicable diseases are doing
excellent work, but are inadequately
stated, the report said.
In their report, the legislators

than 1000 workers have found it
profitable to have a full-time medi-
cal officer, the Government "often
does not have single medical officer
in departments having as many as
10000 employees"
The committees report singled
out insanitary and overcrowded
conditions as the reason for many
of the Districts health problems.
During the committees hearings,
testimony brought out time and
time again" that poor housing was
chiefly responsible for the decline
III the health, safety, morale and
general welfare of the people," the
report said.
In one case, testimony showed, a
family of eight, paying $3.50 a
month rent, was living In a six
room house and renting out two
of the rooms to IL other persons.
Walls were dingy and dirty, needed
replastering and contained large
holes gnawed by rats. The house
was cold except near the coal and
wood stoves and was without elec-
tricity.
Similar situations, said the COM
mittee, "are not infrequent."
Hits Lack of Recreation.
Nine hundred premises in the Dis
trict have outdoor toilets and were
not connected with sewers, the COM
mittee reported. Poor housing and
lack of constructive recreation were
two important causes of a great in
crease in juvenile delinquency dur
ing the first three months of this
year, it added.
The committee further declared
that it was impressed by the "ex-
orbitant rents" charged for slum
properties.
AS a solution to the Districts
problem of insanitary housing, the
D'Alesandro group recommended
that the National Capital Housing
Authority or some other public
agency begin Immediately in a pro-
gram of replacement of insanitary
dwellings. Money for this purpose
should be appropriated by Congress
it was said
The committee expressed iteself
in favor of having private builders
do the work where possible, but
pointed out that in many cases
where slurns need clearance, the
cost is so great in proportion to the
returns that private enterprise would
not be interested.
Ask Legal Action.
The committee further asked that
the Board of Condemnation of In
sanitary Dwellings take a new
lease on life" and use it's authority
"to the fullest extent to compel pro-
fiteering property owners, agents or
operators to either repair or de-
molish insanitary dwellings.
