FILA 10 Remain AIoof
From Fair Haven
Citizens Dispute
Complaints About House.
Used TO Delay Payments,
Developers Declare

Officials of the Federal Housing
Administration today said they would
take no part in what they termed a
"factional squabble" among citizens
OF Fair Haven, housing project
near Alexandria, ito get control of
the citizens association" At the
same time officials of the develop
ment charged that complaints that
houses are improperly constructed
are being used by some residents as
subterfuge" for failure to make
their monthly payments on time.
Walter Cox, District FILA direc-
tor, said he had been informed that
a petition requesting the FHA to
halt approval of the homes pending
settlement of residents grievances
was being sent him by registered
mail.
Mr.. Cox said o. B. Allen, acting
chairman of a group which he says
represents the majority of Fair
Haven residents, and w. E. Faulkner
chairman of the groups constitution
and bylaws committee, stated they
would mail the petition after he (Mr
Cox refused to sign receipt for II
at conference yesterday.
Right to Act Questioned.
The FHA official said he also hao
a petition from the Fair Haver
Citizens Association, Inc, stating
that the Faulkner-Allen group is moi
representative of residents of the de-
velopment and is therefore moi
qualified to act for them.
In addition to these petitions, Mr.
Cox said he had been informed tina,
still a third petition had been sent
him stating that the majority OF
the Fair Haven residents had nc
complaints concerning the construc.
tion of their homes.
Declaring that FHA approvaIs are
made in accordance with law, Mr.
Cox said there appears to be "a
squabble going on among citizens in
Fair Haven for control of the citi-
zens' association. fight which FHA
will have no part Of"
Asserting that some residents OF
the housing project "as much as
two months behind in their pay
mentS," Royal T. McKenna, presi-
dent and general counsel of Fair
Haven, Inc, developers of the prof.
ect, charged that some residents
are resorting to complaints about
the construction of their houses as
ma excuse for not meeting their
monthly payments"
Wiring Was Inspected.
Mr.. McKenna discredited COM
plants about faulty wiring, asserting
that electrical installations in the
project passed three rigid inspec-
tlons. He said nine-tenths of the
streets have been paved, and others
will be surfaced as soon as road fills
have been allowed to settle.
He stated that yards have not
been planted because of advice from
the Agriculture Department that
grass should not be planted until
cool weather.
Mr.. McKenna said that "some
small complaints" on the part of
home purchasers Undoubtedly are
just" but added that these are be-
ing attended to as fast as possible.
He said all complaints will be taken
care of before the development is
completed in October.

The Time Factor.
Our greatest problem during this
period was the recognized urgency
OF the situation as opposed by the
fact that we were just in the process
of obtaining ammunition, arms and
equipment as result of appropri-
ations made from a year to two
years previously and of having avail
able only partially trained troops
as result of the recent mobil-
ization and expansion to wal
strength of the National Guard anc
the few Regular Army units, and the
passage of the Selective Service Act
the previous fall. Our first obli.
cation had been to see that tn.

Daily Prayer
FOR THE FUTURE

All time is an eternal present to
Thee, o Eternal Creator and Rule
of the universe; and Thy plans for
mankind include two worlds. We
pray that Thou wilt make us ready
for what Thou are making ready
for us. In the splendors of a new
order of life, ruled by love and
justice. may we bear a worthy
part. Whatever the new day may
hold of deprivation and change
and sacrifice, may we meet it in
the spirit of those who seek to fol-
low Christ, even to cross. De-
liver us from fear and panic and
pettiness; and teach US the eter-
nal soul values We would not
shrink from temporal changes; for
Thou, 0 Father, changest not: and
Thy love is constant in all the nlu-
tations of life Lift up our hearts,
and our aginations, and our pur-
poses. that We may be good SOL
diers of the new day, wherein Thy
will may be done, and through
which Thy Kingdom may come.
Amen.-W. T. E.
