Children in Families Of Ample Means, Split Up
By Housing Shortage, Find Haven at Mission
Most Urgent Coses
Among Applicants
Are Given Priority
By Carter Brooke Jones

Don Is 6 and his sister, Donna, Isl
5. They are staying at the Chill
dren's Emergency Home OF the Gen.
tral Union Mission. Not because
their father has deserted them or
can't make a living for them. But
because he can't find so much as a.
room At for them to live in.
Mr.. NJ, whose name Is withheld
because the mission does not want
to embarrass a man who has al
ways taken fine care Of his family,
earns $14.20 a day as house paint
er, and he works regularly. He was
willing to pay almost any amount
short OF his total income for an
apartment or 4 house. But there
wasn't any home for him.
The housing shortage, moreover.
has messed up Mr.. MS life, at least
for the time being, in another way.
The mother Of Don and Donna is
dead. and the father recently re-
married. He took his second wife
and the two children to the only
spot they could find-a drippy, rat
haunted room in a basement. The
whole family promptly developed
severe colds. The second Mrs. N.
stood 1t awhile, then walked out.
She told her. husband she'd return
when he found a place that offered
at least a measure of comfort-that
wasn't an undersized dungeon. She
drops in to see the children at the
mission and stops by to see Mr.. N.
now and then. Has he found any
thing. she asks. He hasn't.
Whole Picture Changed.
The Children's Emergency Home
used to care only for the little VIC
tins of domestic disasters. 1t would
help in cases where death, eviction,
desertion OF one or both parents or
some other family catastrophe had
left children without food or shell
ter.
Today this new disrupter of
homes known as the Housing Situa-
ton has changed the whole picture.
AS Mrs. Helen Dawson, directing
this activity for the mission, pointed
out, half the present cases result
from the housing shortage. And
in many instances, the breadwin-
ner, like Mr.. NJ, has ample means
or always has had-to provide for
his family.
Mr.. s., a Norwegian-born citizen,
speaks eight languages fluently. He
has done highly paid work as an
interpreter and translator. Recently
he was in New York with his wife
and three children, and he had an
excellent job. But they couldn't find
a nome. Mr.. s. didn't know where
to send his family or what to do
with them, and so he quit his job,
and they moved to Washington
hopefully.
The only housing he could find
Immediately was a hotel room.
which set him back $14 q day. He
finally found a room in a smaller
hotel at 81 day. And Mr.. s. got a
job with q disqualification insurance
company. But the rate he was pay
ing for one small room was too near
his total income at the moment, and
his surplus money was gone. He
had to find something much
cheaper

Parsons AssaiIs
Byrd's Reversal
On Ending 0PA
Action Is Too Lote,
Virginia Senote
Condidote Says

Virginia's senatorial race had the
appearance Of a free-for- all today,
with the Republican candidate
swinging freely at his Democratic
opponent and the independent
of1iceseeker playing no favorites by
attacking both.
Lester s. Parsons of Norfolk, the
Republican candidate, accused Sen
ator Byrd, the Democratic incum-
bent, Of calling for the end of OPA
after 'the barn boor is open and
the mule is gone"
Howard H. Carwile of Richmond,
running as an Independent, called
Senator Byrd "the chaperon of
Virginia Republicans" and hacked
at Mr.. Parsons platform by saying
there was little if any difference
between what the Democrats and
Republicans stand for.
Calls Byrd Helpless"
Mr.. Parsons, however, in disclairn-
ing any part of the Democratic SEN
ator or his party, continued:
The truth is that Senator Byrd,
as a part of the Democratic Party
in control in Washington, Is as help
less as a baby, insofar as his own
proposals are concerned. He cuts
little ice in administrative circles.
His speeches are never made for
their impact on pending legislation
and policies in the Capital Of our
Nation, but to beguile the voters Of
Virginia to continue him in Office"
In reference to a speech made by
Senator Byrd Monday in which he
advocated abolition Of OPA, Mr..
Parsons declared:
What pity the Senator did not
beat his breast in the halls Of Con-
gress before his party put OPA back
on the job, instead of waiting until
he saw the rising tide of indignation
sweeping the country, with election
day but four weeks Off"
Carwile Assails Both.
Speaking in Richmond, Mr.. Car
vile maintained that he could not
find lone single national issue exist
ing between him (Mr. Parson and
Harry Byrd"
He declared:
They see eye to eye on the labor
question, the race question and on
questions of civil liberties; they are
in full accord on the question Of
Federal expenditures, and on all
issues of public health and social
security; neither is there scintilla
of difference between them on in
ternational issues"

Registration for vocational classes,
designed to give related instruction
to Prince Georges County war vet
erans who are taking advantage Of
the on-the-job training program
under the CT bill of rights, will be
held from Z to pm Monday at the
Bladensburg High School.
G. Gardner Shugart. county
superintendent Of schools, said yes
terday that subjects to be taught
will depend on the number of stu
dents who register for the course. |
Elmer K. Zeller Of Landover has
been placed in charge of the pro-
gram. ..
Subjects proposed for instruction
by Mr.. Shugart include blueprint
reading, mechanical drawing, math-
ematics, welding, machine shopwork,
radio and electricity. Other SUBJ
jects will be added when facilities
are available and when a demand
is shown for them, Mr.. Shugart
declared,
According to Mr.. Zeller, 10 or more
students will be necessary to form
class in one subject. If necessary,
he said, classes will be conducted
four nights week, Monday through
Thursday.
Registration will also be held
Monday night for students desiring
to take academic subjects, such as
English and mathematics, for high
school credit, and for shorthand and
tipping, Mr.. Zeller reported. This
training is open to all adults, but
veterans are the only ones who will
receive high school credits, he added.
Similar evening classes in typing,
shorthand, Spanish, home shop
work, art, interior decorating, sew
ing and commercial law will start
next week also at Greenbelt High
School, Mr.. Zeller said. The time
will be announced later.
Earlier yesterday, Maurice P. Nc
Grath, assistant State service officer
of the Maryland Veterans Commits
sion, and Daniel j. Burke, a men,
ber of the County Veterans Service
Council, appealed to the county
commissioners to take immediate
action toward establishment OF such
q veterans school.
Both had been given permission
two weeks ago to seek possible site
for the training center to replace
temporarily a proposed $35. 300 ad-
dition to the Bladensburg High
School. Plans for the addition,
which originally had been intended
| for such use, were sidetracked July
|25 by the Board Of Education be-
cause all bids were more than dou-
bile the appropriation granted in
June by the county commissioners.
Mr.. Burke submitted plans yester-
day to build 100-foot-by -68-foot
structure, with skylight, on property
owned by the Boswell-Burke Co.
sheet metal contractors on Cottage
avenue, north Of the Melrose cross
ing Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road, Hyattsville.
Mr.. Burke said the building would
cost approximately $4,000 in all
and would be rented to the county
| for school use for $3.50 to $400 a
month. He was advised to discuss
the proposition with Mr.. shugart.

reelection, they wanted to know
why he didn't introduce a bill to re-
move OPA during the last session of

he had fought OPA in every way"
The question reserved for Mr..
Lane was whether the 1914 Demo-
cratic slogan, I'VE Planned It That
Way" might refer to shortages and
labor troubles.
Mr.. Lane said he had managed
the 1914 State campaign as citizen
interested in the earliest possible
triumph over Americas wartime
enemies, and Believed the outcome
justified his position.

date for the Senate, was asked in

his organization had undertaken to
correspond with foreign scientists
urging international atomic legis-

Joining in DR.. Higginbotham' s
support of the Baruch plan, Mr..
Thomas said he felt it was "the
one vigorous and statesmanlike
contribution the United States
Government has made since Pearl

MONTGOMERY, - IS N s. -
Qualified Negro registrantS will be
allowed to vote in the May Alabama
primary if they pledge to support
the nominees in spite of efforts OF
the Democratic leaders to dodge
the responsibilities growing out OF
the Supreme Courts decision in
the Texas case, according to the

Alabama Democrats have submit
ted a constitutional amendment
which if passed in the November
general election will tighten the
registration laws, thereby keeping
out illiterate whites and illiterate
Negroes.
If Negroes vote generally they
can return the rule to Negroes in
those counties in which the Negro
population is greater than that Of
the white.
Gessner McCorvey, chairman OF
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and all members of that COM
mittee insist that the Supreme
