Alexandria Acts
To Spur Veteran
Housing Units
Authority Will Ask
Federal Approval
Of Temporary Homes

Early construction of veterans
housing facilities in Alexandria was
sought today as the Alexandria
Housing Authority prepared to ap-
ply to the Federal Public Housing
Authority for $50 temporary units
and to make a survey of the need
for additional dwellings.
The local housing group was re-
quested to make application at a
meeting last night with the City
Council and representatives Of
FPHA and the Citizens Postwar
Service Committee.
The council also instructed the
city manager and city engineer to
take immediate steps to prepare
the site and install necessary
streets, sewers and utility connec-
tions. A $4,000 appropriation was
approved to be used as loan to the
AHA for any additional expenses in
setting up the project.
State Barred Grants.
Establishment of veterans hous-
ing had been blocked by a provi-
sion in bill passed by the State
Legislature preventing the city from
making outright grants for such
projects and naming housing au-
thorities as nonprofit groups with
out any assets as the agencies to
operate temporary housing facili-
ties.
City officials and FPHA represen-
tatives agreed last night, however,
that the councils resolution would
make the AHA eligible to apply for
the housing units with the financial
backing of the city loan, thus en-
abling the city to avoid making a
grant.
Edmund F. Ticer, chairman of the
AHA, gave assurance that his agency
is ready to establish the project,
while j. Kent White, chairman of
the Citizens Committee, reiterated
that the Richmond, Fredericksburg
81 Potomac Railroad has made a
tract in East Rosemont available
without charge.
Fee Goes to City.
Onver G. winston, regional direc-
tor OF FPHA, stated that while rent
paid by tenants must be used for
the cost of operation, with any sur
plus retuned to the Government, the
city may charge a land fee of SIS
per unit in spite Of the fact that
there is no cost to the city for the
use of the land, and that, in addi-
ton, the city will receive the revenue
from any taxes paid by tenants.
Rents are to be established by AHA
and approved by FPHA.
In thanking the city for the
action taken to expedite the hous-
ing, Mr.. White reported that two
veterans of Guadalcanal have Of
fered to operate tractors free of
charge to assist in preparing the site.

trict Bureau of Customs here at

The bulk of the total was Collect
ed in branch offices in other parts
of the State, such as Winston
Salem and Elkin, the officials said.
The reason for the Port City's
poor showing. it was explained, is
the small amount of river traffic
using the local port. Almost all the
goods on which customs duty is
collected is shipped in bond into
the State from ports such as Nor
folk, Va, and Baltimore, Md, it
was said.
Despite the fact that the total

In 1912 when the nightmare of war was very grim
reality and the of the depression fresher

You in the ranks of labor know the situation. You

the forces that would divide and weaken you In those
struggles you discovered that your most effective
weapon is unity.
During the war; unity and teamwork the battle
of production while the same qualities in our soldiers
brought military victory abroad. Now, by the same
token, unity and teamwork will win the peace. The
United Nations with its many instruments of co-opera
