|FPHA 10 Negotiate
Return Of Government
|War-Leased Housing

Owners Of i56 properties contain
ing 624 dwelling units In the District
area which were leased to the Gov
ernnent for conversion to war
housing may now negotiate with the
Federal Public Housing Authority
for early termination of the leases,
The Star learned today. Four hum
dred and twenty-five units are with
in the boundaries of the District.
The Federal policy, 1t was ex-
planned by FPHA Commissioner
Philip M. Klutznick, will be to give
owners an opportunity to recover
immediate possession by purchasing
unexpired lease contracts at fair
value where consistent with the best
financial interests of the Govern
ment."
This policy was adopted because
converted war housing, which con-
sists of almost 50,0O0 dwelling units
throughout the country, is no longer
restricted to war workers, Mr.. Klutz-
nick said.
In case an agreement cannot be-
reached with the owner on a "fair
sales price," the Government plans
to continue to operate the property
for the balance of the lease term "in
order to achieve maximum recovery
OF public funds" it was said.
Any cancellations entered into. Mr..
Klutznick added, will be subject to
the rights of present tenants, in
cluding OPA regulations on rents
and occupancy.
Under the conversion program
which started in October, 1912, leases
were entered into, usually for seven
years, with the Government reserv-
ing the right to cancel.
Privately owned properties of
many kinds were converted or re-
modelled by the Home Owners Loan
Corp. into apartment units to pro-
vide dwelling accommodations for
essential war workers. The 1916
properties leased by HOLC through
out the Nation originally contained
only 1929 units but after remodel
ing provided total of 49,370 units.
During the last year the properties
were transferred to FPHA for man.

The first national law for veter- ans benefits was passed by the Continental Congress in 1776, ac- cording to Encyclopaedia Britan- nica. By this act veterans were promised half pay in case of dis ability sufficient to interfere with earning a livelihood. Since no fed eral funds were available at the time, this law acted only as a rec ommendation to individual states.
