old Regular Navy man-who spent

his wife. his 3-year-old daughter,
Bonita Faye, and his son, r. E. L.
Ellison, jr., 4 months old.
When Chief Ellison was ordered
to Washington in May he started
looking for an apartment so he could
send to New York for his family.
He thought the break came early
last month when friends at the
Knox Hill community offered the
use of their apartment during a
Seven-week vacation.
Il sent for the family then but
the seven weeks were up Saturday
and we hadn't been able to find
anywhere else to CO." he declared.
So the family moved a cot, crib
and two chairs to the small porch.
Not all the Ellisons' bad luck came
with housing pre- olem, however,
Mrs. Ellison added.
Moving to the porch from their
friends apartment, they brought all
their luggage to the community
house and then went back to the
apartment for the children. When

Veterans Group Bid
10 Buy Harrington
Rejected by DHC

The board of directors of the De-
fense Homes Corporation late yes
terday rejected the bid of a group
OF World War II veterans, who
sought to buy darlington, Govern
ment-owned apartment project
along the Fairfax Arlington border
in nearby Virginia.
The board held the veterans had
an insufficient down payment and
that their proposal to extend this
payment over eight months was not
acceptable.
William A. ziegler, general man.
ager of the Federal agency, said the
board still has under consideration
two or three bids for Fairlington,
as well as three or four for Mclean
Gardens, another Government
owned protect, ut Wisconsin avenue
and Porter street NV, built under
a loan from the Federal Housing
Administration.
The veterans submitted bids In
excess Of $4,000, 600 for Fairling-
ton, which cost $35, ,4O0, 900 two years
ago and contains 3.439 apartments
located on more than 322 acres. At
torney C. Louis Knight, president
OF the veterans group, said his or
ganization submitted bid of $32,-
0o0, 900 with three per cent interest
on the balance over the down pay
ment; $33, ,000, 900 with two and
three-quarters per cent on the bal
ance, or $4,000. 900 at two and a
half per cent. He declined to re-
veal the down payment offered.
+ Following the boards action, Mr..
Knight said that any additional
offer on the part of the veterans
would have to await further. He
said it had been the plan of his
group to have Harrington owned
by the people who live there, with
priority for veterans, and turn back
any profits into community i'm
provements, such as a playhouse,
additional Fairgrounds and SWIM
ming pool.
