Housing Needs Mount
Due 10 Worker Influx
Family Accommodations
Called Greatest Want

Increased demands for housing
caused principally by recruitment
OF Government workers, were re-
ported yesterday by the District
and Arlington County War Hous-
ing Centers.
The greatest need is for family
accommodations in the Northwest
section, according to Marvin w.
Wire, manager of the Washington
center. There also is a demand for
rooms in both the Northwest and
Southeast sections.
Declaring many workers APPLYING
for living accommodations are heads
OF families who are living alone in
Washington and no longer can af-
ford to maintain their families else
where, Mr.. Wire urged property
owners having vacant rooms or
housekeeping facilities to list them
Immediately with the center at 140o
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
He emphasized the center merely
is a clearing house for information
on living accommodations for war
workers and that no fees are
charged to either landlords or
workers.
In Arlington County the principal
demand is for rooms in homes on
lo-cent bus lines, Donald Locke
center manager, said. Most re-
quests, he explained, are from new
employees of the War and Navy De-
partments working at the Penta-
gon, the Navy Annex and the Sig
nal Corps at the Arlington Hall
School.
Arlington families with rooms to
rent were urged to call the Airing
ton center at BIS Wilson bouIe-
