The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-10-05

IF REPUBLICANS can be prod
ded into attempts to make political
capital of the dismal record of City
Hall on the temporary veterans
housing program, perhaps the Dem
ocrats will answer by telling the
voters how the Republicans in Con-
gress sabotaged hearings on the
r-Ellender-Taft bill by skill
full use of parliamentary TECHNICAL
ties and how Illinois Republican
ism deliberately excluded the hous-
ing question from the two special
sessions of the legislature called in
late spring and early summer.
There's plenty of ammunition for
both sides. But each will spare the
other, for fear of retaliation, unless
convinced that the voters are really
interested in housing.
We must realize and make our
friends realize that solving the
housing crisis, or even easing it,
will take time. The fact of the
matter is that this country has
never solved its housing problem.
We have always had Over-crowd-
ing and sub-standard housing for
the mass of the people unable to
afford the price. of good shelter.
The only difference in 1916 is that
now more people are having
tough time of it. The sins of the
system have caught up with us.
And many of us will have to pay
for those sins by living in cramp-
ed quarters, in cellars or attics,
with friends or in-laws for sew
eral years to come.
There is no panacea. There is no
single remedy or simple formula.
1t will take an imaginative and en-
ergetic program by all our govern
mental agencies-national, state,
and local-over a period of years.
1t will take intelligent public inter-
est and participation to ensure that
our elected officials get on with the
job.

Housing
or Hovels
By SIDNEY ORDOwER

Executive Secretary, ave Area Cou
II vERYONE a agrees tn a t
L. housing is one of the i'm
portant issues facing America
today. Yet with but weeks to go
untiIsthe 1916 elections, we hear
very little about housing-and
see even less.
The major political parties, no
doubt embarrassed by their rec
ords of inaction and obstruction,
have apparently agreed to soft
pedal the whole question. Here
and there a progressive candi-
date campaigns on housing and
other vital issues, but such per-
formances are, in the eyes of
professional politicians, distinct
ly in bad taste.
Not many months ago it was
easy to arouse people about
housing. Veterans in particular
were hopping mad and eager for
action, for almost all of them
faced desperate housing situa-
ton. But repeated rebuffs from
Mayor Kelly, Gov. Green and
the ruling coalition in Congress
dampened this enthusiasm and
led to widespread apathy and
defeatism, which, of course, the
major parties had counted on.
When the all too brief political
storm blew over, the profession

surance companies, into the rental
housing field. 1t must stimulate
and aid new types of housing VEN
lures, such as mutual-ownership
housing for veterans.
THE CITY of Chicago must dras-
tically modify its building code to
permit new and cheaper methods
and materials. 1t must overhaul its
coming ordinances and plan for the
intelligent development of new
housing in the same way as it now
plans for the best location of new
highways and parks.
A tall order, you say. Quite
right, it is tall order. But we'd
better begin on it now-in the
1916 elections.

their relief.
ACTUALLY WE all know
that the issue of housing is load
ed with dynamite. Everyone is
desperately concerned with it,
for everyone has his own per-
sonal housing problem, his i'm
mediate need for a decent place
to live. To convert this intense
interest into a determination to
get action on housing, it is only
necessary to convince people
that political action can produce
results.
Clearly, then, housing must be
made a key issue in the present
political campaign. Candidates
must be induced to speak out on
housing. Candidates for Con-
gress should be asked whether
they will fight for-not just vote
for-the Wagner Ellender Taft
bill when it is re-intrOduced in
Congress.
Candidates for the state legisla-
ture should be asked whether they
will insist on state legislative ac-
ton, without which much of the
federal program will be Ineffective
in Illinois. Republican candidates
in particular, since it was the Re-
publicans who prevented a special
session of the legislature on hous-
ing should be asked whether they
now recognize the need for some
action in Springfield.
