Realtors 10 Support
Capper-R Randolph Bill
With Amendments

The National Association of Real
Estate Boards will back the amended
Capper- Randolph bill for urban re-
development when it is introduced
in the next session of Congress, it
was learned today.
Herbert Nelson, legislativ repre-
sentative of the association, spoke
at the annual meeting of the Wash
lngton Housing Association, in the
home of Mrs. C. Carroll Glover, jr.,
1900 Massachusetts, avenue, last
night and declared himself in favor
of the bill.
The bill, product of two years of
study of the National Capital Parks
and Planning Commission, was op-
posed by organized real estate in
terests in the Congress now coming
to an end. They supported another
measure, introduced by Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee and known as the Tyd-
ings- Randolph bill.
Meetings Held to Redraft Bill.
1t has been known that Mr.. Nell
son has been attending meetings
called by Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
chairman of the commission, for
the redrafting of the commission S
bill to meet the objections of some
of the opponents, but until his talk
last night it was not generally
known that Mr.. Nelson's support for
the amended measure had been OBJ
tanned. The amendments to the
bill are of minor nature and will
not weaken it as an instrument of
slum clearance, a spokesman for
the commission said.
John Wilkes. counsel for the
Home Builders Association, who
led the opposition to the commits
sion's bill, did not attend the meet
ing last night because of a previous
engagement. Asked today if he
were going along with Mr.. Nelson
in supporting it, he said he did not
know; that the last time he saw the
commissions bill it was still in a
negotiating stage"
Favors Private Enterprise.
IF private enterprise can be given
the opportunity to do all of the
building, the Home Owners Asso-
citation can be expected to go along
on the proposition that this slum-
clearance land located in downtown
Washington would be under the
control of a Government agency
which would specify the type of
building to be built and the rent
ceiling"
j. Bernard Wyckoff, president of
the association. was chairman of
the meeting. Brief talks were made
by Gen. Grant. John Ihlder, execu-
tive officer of the National Capital
Housing Authority; Maj. William H.
Cary, jr., District director of SAN
itation, and Franklin Thorne, COL
ored, former property manager for
the NCHA and now with the Joseph

Government Girls Back
Downtown Club Proposal

The Government Girls Club has
decided to support officially pro-
posal made by one of its members
Mrs. Lenora Haag, to Mrs. Roosevelt
that downtown club be built for
Government. girls to eat, play bridge
or prepare for an evening date.
Meeting last night in st. Johns
Parish Hall, the group declared the
club would solve the difficulty many
Government girls face in finding a
place in which to meet a date"
after work. Younger girls particu-
larly should not be forced to meet
friends on street corners, Mrs. Alaine
Kuss, president, said
Mrs. Roosevelt, meanwhile. has
asked cabinet wives to find out if
Government departments are in
terested in putting money into such
an establishment. The Recreation
Department was denied funds for II
similar centers by the Federal Works
Agency two years ago. Milo Chris
tiansen, recreation superintendent
said.

IS 900 Copies of Stars YuIe
Carols Go to Fighting Forces

With the issuance of the 35,000th
copy yesterday the distribution of
The Evening Stars selection of
Christmas carols was brought to a
close. No more will be printed be-
cause 1t is too late to mail them
overseas with any assurance they
will arrive before Christmas
The demand for the carols shows
how strong the Christmas spirit is
in time of war. The $4,000 copies
grew out of the request of young
man from Washington serving as a
medical corpsman in hospital in
the Southwest Pacific. He wrote his
pastor asking for old copies of the
carols for hospital choir to use in
bringing the spirit of the season
to the wounded men there.
The pastor, the Rev. j. Herbert
Garner of the Sixth Presbyterian
Church, was at loss as to how tc
get the carols to this far-removed
member of his congregation. Hymn
books would be too heavy to air mail
and only air mail could get the
carols there in time.
Evening star., 1944-12-07

He asked The Star about it. The
Star obtained permission from E. P.
Dutton & Co., publishers, to repro
duce the most popular of the carols
from their book, Sing For Christ
mas" arranged by Opal Wheeler
Eight carols selected by Alice Evers-
man, The Stars music critic, were
printed on two sides of a single sheet
of newsprint - light enough for
mailing.
The Navy sent 5000 copies of the
carols to the feet, the Marine Corps
and the Seabees in the Pacific The
General Commission on Army and
Navy Chaplains sent 5000 by air
mail to all chaplains overseas.
Washington churches received
quantities of the carols to send to
their young men and women in the
camps and in the theaters of war
But most of the 35 1000 copies were
obtained one by one at the business
counter of The Star by readers who
felt that the troops overseas would
welcome this bit of Christmas
remembrance.

Plagued by steady decrease ir
farm labor and difficulties in trans
porting prisoners of war from Fort
Meade. Montgomery County farmers
have requested that a prisoner-of-
war camp be located in the county
to meet stepped-up farm production
schedules for next spring.
Largest hurdle in obtaining the
camp, farm officials said, was the
Army policy against permitting
prisoners-of-war camps in the Mill
tary District of Washington.
The farmers request was referred
to the Sd Service Command and
VINO officials a month ago. Paul
E. Nystrom of the Maryland Exten-
sion Service, who is also in charge
of the States farm labor program
said the request is still under dis
cussion.
Negotiations for the camp also in
wolves a question of financing, one
farm official pointed out.
Suggested Last Summer.
The camp idea, Mr.. Nystrom said
was suggested last summer but al
that time there was difficulty even
in getting the Army's consent to
use prisoners of war in the county.
Then, there were fewer POWs
available for work in the area. BY
the time the Army received addi-
tional POWs and they were ready
to work, the season was too far ad-
vanced to go into the camp ques-
ton, Mr.. Nystrom said.
Arrangements were made to
transport the prisoners in three
buses borrowed from county schools
and 80 prisoners could be trans
ported until the schools needed two
of the buses, o. w. Anderson, Mont
gomery County farm agent, said.
That limited the number of pris-
oners who could be brought into
the county to 80. Meanwhile, Mr..
Anderson went on, the bus itself
was in such bad condition that it
had to be patched up daily.
