Sale 10 Veterans
Group Approved
Action by DHC Must
Also Be Authorized
By RFC and WAA

Sale of the Naylor Gardens hous-
ing development to the Veterans Co.
operative Housing Association for
IS, 125 900 has been approved condi-
tionally by Defense Homes Corp.
The proposed sale, which must be
approved also by the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corp. and the War AS
sets Administration was authorized
yesterday by the Board of Directors
of DMC.
Assurance to Tenants.
Terms of the transfer would as
sure present tenants the right to
join with the veterans group in pur-
chasing the property. 1t also would
be provided that those tenants who
do not wish to participate in the
purchase would be permitted to con-
tinue in occupancy under existing
leases, and that rents would not be
increased "for period to be mu-
tually agreed upon"
1t is planned that VCHA will make
down payment of 10 per cent, or
S5l2,5 500, and pay the balance over
period of 81 years with interest
of per cent.
In its statement, the DHC ex-
planned RFC concurrence would be
necessary because an RFC loan to
DHC is being repaid out of pro-
ceeds of the properties. Since the
transaction would represent dis
position of surplus Government real
property, WAA also is concerned.
Statement BY DHC.
In its statement, DHC gave the
following review of development of
the proposed sale:
The DIG board in January di-
rected that negotiations with the
VCHA, which had submitted al1
offer to purchase the project, and
with a tenant group, be continued,
looking toward the submission of a
bid which would provide for partici-
patton by both tenants and veterans.
Negotiations led to agreement on
the part of the VCHA to amend its
form OF organization so as to admit
present tenants who may wish to
join in cooperative purchase of the
project"
1t was indicated approval by RFC
and WAA was expected. Thereafter
| "conSummation of the sale will await
compliance by the VCHA with the
conditions required" it was added.
Mutually Good Deal.
Following the DHC announce
ment Ray Sawyer, District COM
mander of AMVETS and president
| of VCHA. issued a statement in
which he called the proposed sale a
mutually good investment, both
for the Government and the vet
erans"
This action will give several hun
dred veterans a chance to own a
share i'll America" he commented.
We are grateful for the support
we have had from the press. the

Virginia Court Affirms
Ban on BARKING Doqs

RICHMOND. Va. April % lP,.-
Barking dogs that keep neighbors
awake are just as unpopular with
the Virginia Supreme Court OF Ap-
peals as they are with the neighbors
The court yesterday affirmed an
injunction prohibiting woman
from keeping dogs which were "ad-
dicted to undue bowling and bark
ing"
The courts opinion cited an ear
lier Virginia case in which it held
that dogs in neighbor's yard may
effectually murder sleep and destroy
the reasonable enjoyment Of the

Senate Unit Due
ToAct on Park
Housing Fund
Authority to Install
Utilities on Nearby
Sites Is Sought

Action was scheduled today by
the Senate District Committee on
the bill to authorize the Commits
sioners to spend up to S25O,OOO in
providing utilities for temporary
housing for veterans to be erected
here by the Federal Public Housing
Authority
Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., Assist
ant Engineer Commissioner, yester-
day notified the Senate group of the
approval of four of the sites on or
near park areas by the Interior
Department and committee of the
Park and Planning Commission to
provide homes for 688 families. The
Commissioners had asked for space
to accommodate 848 families.
The sites are along Shepherd
Parkway, near Fort Dupont, a strip
on the east side of Fort Mahan and
a strip of Barnard Hill Park.
To Seek Other Sites.
In addition, Col. Arthur said the
Commissioners plan later to seek
approval of sites near third
and Douglas streets NE. and in
the Blue Plains area along Overlook
avenue, near Chesapeake street.
The District also plans to make
use of DiStrict-oWned land at Camp
Slmms and small portion of the
War Department reservation near
Fourth street and Mississippi avenue
Sc.
Because of possibilities of using
some Federal land at Suitland. Md.
the Commissioners also are asking
an amendment of the bill to include
permission to pay the costs of utili-
ties for temporary veterans housing,
allocated to the District, but which
may be erected in nearby Maryland
or Virginia.
Plan Surplus Material Use.
Meanwhile, FPHA plans to draw
building materials from Govern
ment surplus stocks as far as pos
slble rather than purchase them on
the open market in converting sur
plus war housing and barracks to
temporary homes for veterans.
Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt
says the fullest use will be made
OF materials not suitable for per-
manent construction and the ma
terialS will be used only to meet
the most acute needs of veterans.
The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority is charged with supplying
100000 temporary dwellings for dis
frnCSpH upfnropc fIrn,,rlo,,@
country during 1916 by relocating
and remodeling surplus housing IA
cilities.
Avoid Permanent Material.
FPHA Commissioner Philip M.
klutznlck said it would be the pol
icy OF his agency to use materials
mot suitable for permanent con-
struction, wherever possible, to re-
duce to minimum the use of per-
manent buildings materials where
they must be used and to obtain
materials for temporary housing
from Government surplus stocks in
stead OF on the open market, as far
as possible.
Estimating that approximately
262 100000 board feet of lumber
would be required to complete the
100000 emergency dwelling units,
Mr.. Klutznick reported that so far
his agency has claimed 2S,OOO, 900
feet for the emergency program.
Rather than dip into the small
stocks of seasoned lumber available,
he added, FPHA is making maxi
mum use of grades below standard
for permanent building.

 We read the novel with skep- tieism, too, but ended up fascin- ated by the brilliant handling of the theme-a depletion of a drunkard's craving for drInk, and what it does to hlm.
 After reading the book, we used to lie awake nights thinking of all the people we would like to send copies to, and wondering If it would do any good. But we never did 1t

Communist Troops Gathered '"Like Clouds"

CHUNGKING, April P, CP)- Government reports from Man churia said Chinese Communist troops gathered like clouds" in kungchulin district east of Chang chun, where the governments lst army apparently made slow prog reSS in its effort to reach the fal- len capital. Kungchulin, 36 miles from Changchun was captured by Communists last week.
 It. Gencaho, acting commander of the government forces in the northeast is scheduled to fly from Mukden to the Changchou area to report on the military situation there.
 A New Life, Peiping daily cor respondent said five U. s. news men, including (P) correspondent Tom Mesterson were safe in Changchun but without freedom of action. Approximately 100 gov ernment officials there also are detained.
 The capture of Changchun was reflected in an increasingly jittery feeling among government quar- ters in Mukden. North China de- lenses have been frightened in Peiping and Tientsin.
 General Marshall in a formal letter asked Communist Gen. Chou to investigate Communist claims that U. s. planes strafed their forces in Szepingkai last week and
