Of Oil to 5000 Fue||ess Homes

BY MALCOLM D. LAMBORNE, Jr.
The District OPA moved today
to bring relief to more than 5000
home owners who have been out
of fuel oil since late last week. It
instructed local boards to issue
minimum supplementary fuel
oil rations to prevent undue
hardships"
Extra rations, officials disclosed,
will be issued where the consumer
has insufficient fuel or coupons to
provide a livable temperature. The
order, which is effective immedi-
ately, is good only until February 8,
at which time No. 4 coupons in fuel
ration books become valid.
The agency took the action after
receiving authorization from the re-
gional Office in New York. The
plight of the 5000 householders
here who are without oil or valid
coupons until February was dis
closed in The Star Saturday.
The action was taken in spite of

QUINCY, Mass, Jan. 24.-The
Navy's newest mighty aircraft
carrier, the Hancock, slid down
the ways today at the Fore River
Shipyard, from which her sister
ships, the new fattops Lexing-
ton, Bunker Hill and Wasp, and
other powerful warships have
been launched.
Sponsor of the new ship, third in
naval history to bear the name of
Massachusetts, famous patriot, John
Hancock, first signer of the Declara-
tion of Independence, was Mrs
Dewitt C. Ramsey, wife of Rear
Admiral Ramsey, chief of the Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics.
The $6O000,0O0 carrier is listed by
the Navy as of the Essex class, as
were the new Lexington and Wasp,
which replaced other carriers of the
same names lost in the Pacific. She
displaces upward of $4,000 tons, and
while her length, beam and draft
are secret, ships of the Essex type
were listed to carry "80-plus" air.

Soldier Vote Measure
Scheduled Ahead Of
Subsidies in Senate
Democratic Steering
Unit Calls Up New
Compromise Bill
BULLETIN.

An effort by Senator Taft,
Republican, of Ohio to put the
food subsidy issue ahead of
the new soldier vote bill failed
in the Senate today, 80 to 33.
The Senate Democratic Steer
ing Committee decided today to
put the new soldier vote bill
ahead of the food subsidy issue,
in the hope of getting the SEN
ate to reverse its previous stand
against a simplified Federal bal
lot for Servicemen.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama, who wanted to proceed
with the subsidy issue, said the STRAIT
egy appeared to be to get another
test of sentiment on the soldier
vote controversy before the House
acts later this week on the bill al
ready passed by the Senate. The
Senate-spproved measure requires
use of regular State absentee ballots
by the armed forces.
Only two members of the Steering
Committee-Senator Bankhead and
his Alabama colleague, Senator Hill
voted to take up the subsidy bill
first. Nine members of the 17-mem-
Der steering group were reported as
voting to give the right of way to
the new Green-Lucas compromise,
which seeks to overcome past oppo-
sition to Federal servicemen's ball
lot by allowing local precinct officials
at home to pass on the validity of
such ballots
Filibuster Warned.
Senator Green, Democrat, of

Clear Capital S|ums
Planning Chairman
Says Privute Builders
Can't Do Whole Job
BY JOHN T. LUTER.

The National Capital Housing
Authority should be given the
funds to resume its program of
clearing the Districts slums, Mai
Gen. U. S. Grant III, chairman of
the National Capital Parks and
Planning Commission, today told
a Senate District Subcommittee
The NCHA, a major subject of
controversy here in recent weeks.
has proposed long-range slum
reclamation program, under which
approXimately 500 100000 would be
spent for this work over a period of
about 20 years.
Gen. Grant was the first witness
as the Senate subcommittee. headed
by Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio, opened hearings on the Dis
trlct'S Slum problem and the various
remedies proposed. The hearings,
which will last at least month. are
expected to provide major battle
ground between the advocates and
opponents of public housing.
Most Urgent Problem"
Gen. Grant gave the subcommit-
tee figures showing the great extent
of Slum areas here and the effect of
poor housing in increasing crime
and disease rates. The slums, he
said, represent one of Washington S
most urgent and serious problems. "
A public housing program will be
necessary to bring about slum recla-
nation, Gen. Grant testified
AS much of the necessary new
Structed by private builders. he said.
He added, however, that privately
financed housing must be supple
mented by public housing in order
to provide persons in the lowest in
come groups with adequate housing
at rents they can pay.
Experience has shown that pri-
vate enterprise. depending on profit,
cannot and will not do the job" he
said.
Gen. Grant attacked a proposal
for privately financed slum reclama-
ton made recently by Waverly Tay-
lor, a private builder. Mr. Taylor
suggested that the Government con-
demn slum areas and sell the land
to private builders.
Tenants unable TO pay the rents,
which would be scaled low, would
receive direct relief aid from well
fare associations instead of the rent
subsidy now given them if they do
not earn enough to pay NCHA
rents.

1t was emphasized that house
holders still have to file regular
forms with their boards and the
final decisions will rest with the
boards.
1t had been estimated that five
to seven per cent of Washington
home owners using fuel oil had ex-
hausted their supplies, with no pros
pect-until today's order-of getting
more until next month. In each of
the local ration boards an average
of about 200 homes has reported
being out of fuel.
On Saturday, Robert K. Thomp-
son, District OPA director, said
there was nothing that could be
done for those out of fuel except
in cases where there is a particular
hardship, such as sickness. The re-
gional Office is then empowered to
grant relief where oil supplies are
Lyailable. he said.
