Mrs. Roosevelt Favor.
Public Housing for
Low-Income GROUPS
U. 5. Control Necessary
For Buyers Security,
She Says After Tour

Mrs. Roosevelt is convinced now
that private builders can never pro.
vide housing as cheaply or satisfac-
torily for low-income groups as
Government agencies can.
She made this statement yester-
day during a tour of the privately
owned Chapel Oaks development in
Fairmont Heights, Md.
You cannot do it," she said to
Joseph Unger, a part owner OF the
development, and to about 200 OF
the colored residents pressing
around her. What I have seen to-
day only convinces me private hous-
ing cannot build for the price these
people can afford to pay"
The Presidents wife inspected the
one-story houses, renting for $40 so
or $3.50 a month and selling for
about $3.50, at the request of
former resident, Floyd Hunt, evicted
last week for nonpayment of rent.
No Other Place to Live.
"This housing has to be done
under Government control to get
any security for the purchasers" /"
she said You are selling and
renting now because there is no
other place for these people to live.
But the average wage will not al
ways be $55 a week and they will
not be able to afford these prices"
The President S wife was accom-
panied by Howard Vickery, director
of public relations for the National
Housing Agency. First she exam
ined model house picked out by
Sidney Weinberg, manager of the
project, and Mr.. Unger Then she
insisted on seeing two or three other
houses chosen at random. Two res
idents told her an insurance COM
pany had refused to sell them fire
insurance because there was only
one door in many of the houses and
not enough windows to allow house.
hold goods to be removed safely.
Discussion Follows Tour.
After her tour, Mrs. Roosevelt
stood on front lawn to discuss the
merits of public and private housing
for low-income groups with the
owner and with residents. She said
she has always doubted that private
builders could supply houses at low
cost as "decently" as public agencies
can afford to do. The element of
profit, which is the privilege of the
private builder, she said, destroys
his ability to build homes as sturdy
or guarantee renting and purchas-
ing terms as reliable as those of
public housing
Driving then to the Sylvan Vista
Baptist Church adjacent to the
project, Mrs. Roosevelt told the resi-
dents gathered there not to worry
If they were mot sure what they
are paying for
Il find it a little difficult to un-
derstand what you are paying for,
too" she said But I think 1 can
find out more easily than you can"
Mrs. Roosevelt said she could see
why the residents would like to live
at Chapel Oaks, IF you could afford
it." What she learned during her
tour, she said, she hopes will be
useful not only to the residents
there but to many other people with
housing problems.

Children Disappointed
As Toy Auction Draws
Few War Bond BUYERS

The children OF Washington
turned out yesterday to do their
part in the Districts Sixth War
Loan drive But the older genera
ton gave them only token co-opera-
ton.
Several dozen children, carrying
in their arms their teddy bears,
puppies, dolls and other favorite
toys, went to the United States
Chamber of Commerce Building to
sell these treasures to the highest
bidders in War Bonds. The table
was piled high with sleds, skates,
planes, automobiles, dolls, games,
books. Two puppies peeked out
from wooden box, and a canary
f1uttered around in its cage.
The only thing lacking was an
audience. A meager hundred or so
persons came. Although a goal of
$4,000 had been set, if it had not
been for one sale of $729, 900, made
on behalf of the United States Steel
Corp-a sale which would have been
achieved regardless of the auction
the children's sacrifices would have
netted only $1,000 in bonds.
Gifts for Children's Hospital.
Those persons who came bid en-
Enthusiastically for few things-but
many of the toys did not win a
single bid. One man in the audi
ence. David L. Sherman, 77O6 Thir-
teenth street NV, bought up most
of the toys, paying out several
thousands of dollars in bonds He
will contribute all he bought to the
Children's Hospital. AS he con-
tinued to be the only person bidding
on many articles, he said, Il dom
know what's wrong with the people
of this town. The children worked
hard on this thing-and look at the
response"
The one big sale of the afternoon
was when Andrew Snow, sales man.
ager OF United States Steel, paid the
s729,000 for the pair of puppies
which belonged to Dick Blake, 12-
year-old Boy Scout of Troop 80, the
group of boys who helped put on the
auction. Mr.. Snow bought the dogs,
and then with a smile, gave them
back to Dick, as present from his
company. All Dick could say was,
l"Gee, all that money and I get the
pups"
Mrs. Louise Noonan Miller, owner
of the Little Theater, co-sponsor of
the auction, paid $4,000 for a large
sled-she had a special reason for
wanting it. 1t belonged to her son,
1t. Raymond C. Miller, %, an Army
Air Force pilot, killed March Is
over Italy.
Some Sales Over SI0O.
Mrs. Helen Frazier, 119 E. Stewart
avenue, paid 500 for a pistol and
gun belt which used to belong to an
American soldier killed overseas, for
her little boy, Tommy. Benjamin
Epstein of 1873 Seventh street NE
paid $1,000 for a prewar sled with
steel runners. There were a few
other sales in the over-$100 class.
The children who were there didn't
quite understand what was happen
ing and one little girl cried when ne
one bid for her doll, which was q
little the worse for a lot of hugging
She told her mother, II love her
Doesn't anybody else?"
Various excuses for the lack OF
audience were offered by those who
did come. THE Redskins are play
ing" Sunday afternoon every one
wants to Sleep" TITS such a pretty
day, every one is out walking"
| One man suggested, washington
just isn't the type of city to take an
interest in what its children do. It's
too blase."
