D. {. Housing Center
Staff 10 Be Reduced
las Funds Dwindle

Unless additional money is appro-
priated by the new Congress this
winter, the District Housing Center
will have to close by March /.
Waldron Z. Leonard, director OF
the center, which is part OF the
Districts services to veterans divi-
sion, said today that he was cutting
his staff OF 21 down to 8 in an effort
TO continue the work until that date.
If the present staff was main
tanned, he explained, available money
would run out by December /.
The cut was approved by the Com
missioners Tuesday. They have been
unable to find funds to keep their
part OF their agreement with the
Federal Housing Agency last sum-
mer, when joint operation Of the
center was decided on.
At that time, the Federal agency
put up $4,000 to carry the cost OF
the center from last July to next
June 80. The DISTRICT was to match
this sum and take over the opera
ton.
It is considered likely that the
city heads will seek supplemental
appropriation from the new Con-
gress to carry out the housing agen-
cy program H the need still exists
at that time.
During the war years the center
was operated in entirety by the Fed
eral agency. At the time of transfer
to District supervision, there were 80
employees serving 400 or more appli-
cants daily. Director Leonard re-
organized the staff and cut it to 81
at that time.

Long Distance Sleuthing
Locates Missing Boy Here
=
Telephone Call To Former
Girl Friend Gives Travel
er's Clue To 16-Year-Old

An innocent telephone call to a
former girl friend, 1ong-distance
sleuthing and the alertness of Miss
Joyce Durham Wilmington Trav-
elers' Aid society worker, is re-
sponsible for a 16-year-old youth
being returned to his home in Hav-
erford, Pa.
The youth, according to records
of the society, left the school he
was attending in Pottstown, Pa,
about 10 days ago. According to
his father, a textile manufacturer,
the boy would have been graduated
in June of this year.
The father said his son had COM
piled an excellent school record
during the past four years, but
apparently had '1ost interest," in
everything; nearly everything, any
way, about month ago.
When the boy was reported alb
sent from school, the family mott
fled an aunt living in Asheville, and
volunteer TAS worker. The
boy had visited two years
ago. At that time he had become
interested in an Asheville girl.
A casual conversation between
the aunt and the mother of the girl
a few days after Jacks disappear
ance revealed the boy had called
his Asheville sweetheart, but had
failed to reveal where he was
staying.
The mother said she thought
"centrar' had mentioned the word
Wilmington when she answered the
telephone, but she was not posi-
tive.
Lillian F. Smathers, executive
secretary of the Asheville TAS,
thought of Wilmington, Del, due
to it's proximity to Haverford. A
check through long distance rec
ords failed to reveal such call
having been placed from the Della
ware city.
The Asheville TAS then tacted
the Wilmington society and ex-
planned the situation to Miss Dun
ham, on duty at the time.
Miss Durham called local re-
cruiting offices after having been
informed the boy had once talked
of wanting to join the maritime
service. Failing to find trace OF
him through those sources she
contacted several local hotels.
The register of the Hotel Will
mington revealed a registration
from Pottstown, but the name was
not the same as that of the miss
ing boy. The TAS worker did not
call the room of the Pottstown
guest, but did call the parents OF
the missing boy.
She gave the room number to the
father and told him his son might
be registered She could give no
assurance it would be the missing
SON, However.
Within 30 minutes the parent
called Miss Durham and told her
he had just completed telephone
conversation with his son-the
registrant.
Jack returned to Haverford ana
another TAS service-completeo
record was placed into the files.
