By the Associated Press
James v. Forrestal who became
Acting Secretary of the Navy yes
terday on the death of Secretary
Knox, is a broker and banker who
has declared his hobby is "ob-
security"
A veteran of naval aviation dur
ing the World War, he came to
Washington as an administrative
assistant to President Roosevelt. as
signed primarily to Latin American
problems. Friends have said he was
well adapted to such a post of
anonymity because of his dislike
for talking about himself.
On creation of the Office of Under
secretary of the Navy by Congress,
he was transferred to that new
post in the little cabinet" and
served as Acting Secretary when
Mr.. Knox was out of Washington.
In his job as Undersecretary, Mr..
Forrestal has been responsible to a
great extent for the speeding up of
naval construction.
Born in Beacon, N. Y, the 81
year-old Acting Secretary, like his
late chief, had early experience as
a newspaperman. He worked on
daily newspapers in Beacon, Pough-
keepsie and Mount Vernon, N. Y,
before attending Dartmouth and
Princeton Universities.
On his graduation in 1915, he was
employed by the New Jersey Zinc
Co. and the Tobacco Products Co.
before becoming a bond salesman
with the firm of William A. Reed
& Co., which subsequently became
Dillon, Reed e. Co.

clouded" the fact there is agreement
on some major points and that on
others there would be agreement "if
there is an objective approach on
both sides"
NCHA, he said, wishes to reassert
its desire to see private enterprise do
as much of the job as it profitably
can and it's belief that the field in
which private housing has operated
can be expanded"
Mr.. Ihlder commended that his as
SiStants had effectively refuted what
he considered to be the two main
allegations of opponents of public
housing. He described these allega-
tons as being:
That NCHA's economic rents dc
not cover all costs, including real
estate taxes, and it's Title I fund
was not acknowledgements that
the construction costs of it's prof.
ects greatly exceed those of pri-
vate projects.
Defends Rentals.
Mr.. Ihlder continued: 1T has been
shown that NCHA's economic rents
do cover all costs, including reaI
estate taxes, and it's Title I fund
was self-liquidating on June 30
1912, when reserves and revenues
were paid into the Treasury.
Going into the, sharply fought
issue of whether public or private
housing costs less, Mr.. Ihlder con-
tended it has been shown NCHA
construction costs would be approx
lmately the same as those for pri-
vate builders IF the latter built ac-
cording to NCHA plans, specifica-
tons and wage scale. Moreover.
NCHA total costs during the life of
the buildings will be less because of
the more rapid obsolescence of the
private houses due to land crowd
ing, inferior light and ventilation,
smaller bedrooms and an undue pro-
portion of e-bedroom units. of
which the private builders already
have produced such a surplus that
obsolescense already has begun"
Cites Subsidy Need.
He argued also that more than
three-fourths of the families living
in substandard housing in the Dis
trict could not afford to pay the low
est rent proposed by the association
Rehousing of the very low-income
families now living in slums, he de-
clared, can be met only with SUBJ
sides, he added:
The Home Builders Association
recognizes this need and proposes
that it be met by substituting these
families through rent certificates
paid for by District taxpayers and
issued to owners of private housing
Economic rents of the NCHA
are from 81 to $40 lower month";,
than the proposed rents of the home
builders, and from $1O.50 to 81;
