Plans for Housing

House members drafting a bill
to provide one or more. congressional
apartment buildings to rent at rea-
sonable rates to members of Con-
gress and their secretaries plan q
series Of meetings next week to
whip the measure into final shape.
This was disclosed yesterday at a
conference during which proposal
for free housing was offered by
Representative Bailey, Democrat, Of
West Virginia, and Immediately dis
approved by Representative Patrick,
Democrat, of Alabama, who is lead
ing the housing campaign.
Mr.. Bailey suggested that legis-
lation to give members of Congress
free housing would be more accept
able than a $1,000 salary increase.
But Mr.. Patrick Immediately as
serted that free housing was not
his aim.
1--WE need housing that always
would be available" he said, "but
what we are thinking of is self
Iliquidating project"
He explained that his principal
problem was to determine how
many members would be interested
in such project, what site they
would prefer and what rent they
would consider reasonable. He re-
ported there still are 81 members
of Congress who have not been able
to find suitable" quarters and that
much larger number of secretaries
are in the same predicament.
The conference heard j. B. Sha-
piro, Washington realtor and build
er, outline proposal that Congress
select as its preferential housing a
large group of apartments he plans
to build.
Malcolm NJ Kilduff suggested
that some members of Congress
would want suburban two-story

apartments near Capitol Hill.

Mason Raps Marshal
For Laxity in Escape
OF Three Prisoners

Commissioner Guy Mason today
criticized the United States mar
Shals Office for the escape of three
Lorton Reformatory inmates from
a marshal's van at the District Jail
Wednesday,, declaring the marshals s
office knew the prison grounds had
no gates and that greater care
should have been exercised.
The prisoners, who attacked a
guard as they left the van, are still
at large despite wide search.
Mr.. Mason said report submitted
yesterday by Public Welfare Director
Ray L. Huff showed the marshal's
office knew "the three escapes were
not ordinary prisoners, but men who
have escaped from the Reformatory
and (the marSharS office should
have been more alert and taken
more precautions
The Commissioner reported gates
would be obtained as soon as critical
materials are available, but he added
that "as between the needs of the
armed forces for this critical mate
rial and the marshal's Office exer-
cising more alertness, I think the
burden is on the marshal's Office"
At the same time, it was learned
that Representative Mcmillan,
chairman of the Police and Fire
Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee, had requested that
an inspection be made of the Jail.
Commissioner John Russell Young
and Mr.. Mcmillan will visit the in
stitution some time next week.
Plans for gates were included in
program for construction at penal
establishments submitted January
26 to the Public Welfare Board by
Howard B. Gill, general superin-
tendent of District penal institu-
tions. His report, according to Mr..
Huff, was returned with the request
that he list the most important
projects first. -:
Mr.. Gill has estimated the District
Jail is understaffed by more than
80 per cent. 1t now has SO guards
and should have at least 80, he said.
Mr.. Huff said the last formal re-
quest for priorities was made in De-
cember. 1941, and since that time
there have been only informal con-
versations with War Production
Board officials He also admitted
there had been no eScrt since last
August to install even temporary
gates.
Last August, Mr.. Huff said, some
wire and pipe gates were constructed,
but these proved inadequate to in
sure even the confinement of walk
ing prisoners.
