Chapel Oaks Housing
Project Visit Planned
By Mrs. Roosevelt

Mrs. Roosevelt will visit Chapel
Oaks housing development, a pri-
vate project for colored residents at
Fifty-eighth avenue and Chapel
road NE, on Sunday to see the con-
ditions there, she announced yester-
day.
Mrs. Roosevelt is going at the re-
quest of the Chapel Oaks Civic
League, whose members are among
the $50 families living there. While
she did not describe her purpose any
more fully than simple statement
that she was going to "see it," Floyd
Hunt, vice president of the Civic
League, disclosed he had asked the
Presidents wife to inspect run
down and neglected" conditions
there.
Sidney Weinberg, manager of the
development, said 1t was begun 20
months ago and would be completed
in March. Mrs. Roosevelt's inten-
ton to visit was a surprise to him,
he said, and he wished she would
wait until March to see "the fin
ished jewel" Rents for the houses,
all separate dwellings, are S4950
and S54.50, Mr.. Weinberg said.
Two vice presidents of the Trans
continental & Western Airlines,
where Mr.. Hunt is employed, will
join Mrs. Roosevelt on the tour,
TWA said. They are Otis Bryan
and Jack Nichols.
Mrs. Roosevelt's previous tours of
housing here have been mainly to
Government developments.

official Allied sources attributed this strong German screen to an attempt to gain time to transfer troops from the central sector and to re- group the inSantry units badly mauled in the Canadian thrustS to seize the bridgehead north of the Conca.
 While the Canadians held against the German counter attack, British units in the western half of the bridgehead advanced with the aid of Churchill tanks and captured San Clemente, 2,000 yards beyond the Conca river, and advanced aIl- other two miles to within 1000 yards of the village of Coriano.
