Channel Materials.
To Home Building
BY the Associated Press

Wilson w. Wyatt today prescribed
a TRANSMISSION of new materials for
his languishing housing campaign.
Nonresidential building will be
the donor. The housing expediter

stores, factories, schools and public
works by 80 to so per cent below
present levels, his aides reported un-
officially.
Without naming any figure, Mr..
Wyatt tipped off his plans last night
by announcing that tough action, 81
embodied in series of sweeping
steps," will be taken this month.
''Nonresidential construction can
not be permitted to continue divert
ing the present volume of materials
from veterans housing his state
ment said.
Temporary Housing Goal Reduced.
At the same time, a reduction of
10000 In temporary dwellings being
provided colleges and local public
bodies at Federal expense was an
nounced by Mr.. Wyatt and Dillon
Myer, public housing commissioner
The announcement said increased
construction costs forced a reduc-
ton in the original goal of 200, 900
temporary housing units to 10000.
The housing agency said some
schools and communities will not
receive the total number of units
allocated unless they provide the
increased costs or bear the expense
OF remodeling and movement of the
temporary houses.
The Civilian Production Admins
tration announced it will grant spe-
eial priority assistance in construc-
ton of house trailers for veteran
and their families.
More Materials Sought.
Mr.. Wyatt said more material
must be found to permit completion
OF thousands of homes and apart
ments" started this year, but not
finished, and to get more new dwell
ings under construction.
Only 10000 of the 331 900 perma-
nent dwellings started in the first

Alexandria police announced to-
day they have found fingerprints
which they hope may lead to the
capture of the man who fatally
shot Nathan Rosenberg, 81 year-old
Alexandra grocer, early yesterday
as he stood by the window of his
second-foor bedroom at Princess

Mr.. Rosenberg went to the window
the robber. fearing that the grocer
was going to call for help, fired the
fatal shots.
The detective said that after the
robbery last month. Mr.. Rosenberg
had lived in constant fear that the
thief would return. He said the
grocer had put boards across the
upstairs windows.
Mr.. Rosenberg, who was shot in

Health Grants

For Obstruction
In Five-Yeor PIun

The District of Columbia has been
allotted Federal grants of SOS, $50
for construction of hospitals and
health centers, and $19,145 for sur
veys OF such needs, under the new
five-year National Hospital Con-
struction Act.
Announcing this today, the Pub
lie Health Service of the Federal
Security Agency designated the fig
ures as preliminary estimates"
These funds are part of an auth
orized $3,000,000 for Nationwide.
State hospital surveys and planning.
and SIS ,000, 900 year for each of
f1ve years, provided in the so-called
Halliburton Act.
Use Of Funds Undecided.
District officials have not vet DE-
cided definitely how the Capital will
use the funds. Commissioner Mason
recently indicated it would be help
ful II the money could be used for
Galllnger Hospital improvements
The Health Department, it was
previously learned, would like to
nave some of the funds to build
more health centers for the city. Six
such centers have been proposed. but
only one-in the Southwest section
has been built, and now is in opera
ton. Some private hospitals in dire
need of reconditioning also want
such funds.
The $19,145 is the Districts pre-
urinary estimate" of funds allotted
out OF the 100000 authorized for
survey and planning expenses. 1t is
based solely on population and is a
direct grant without necessity of
local matching funds. Already an
proprlated is $2,350,000 of the
50 ,000, 600.
The 1898 $50 fund for construction
during the first of five years is
allotted on the basis of a matching
arrangement under which the Dis
trlct or local non-profit institutions
must raise 81 for every 81 of Federal
grant.
Agency Required.
AN agency must be set I'D here.
under the act. to prepare a program.
and application must be made to
the Public Health Service for the
grants.
Allotments to the District. and
States for construction funds were
based on formula which takes into
consideration both the population
and the per capita income of the
Jurisdiction. Figures used in the
formula come from the Department
OF Commerce surveys on population
and income.
Virginia is given an allotment of
S64.310 for survey and planning. and
$2,210,175 for construction during
\ the first of i've years.
Maryland is allotted SAG ,167 for
survey and planning, and $50. SIS
Tor construction during the first year
The HillBurton act is entirely
separate from the District hospital
center law, which authorizes an ap-
preparation of s35 ,0O0, 900 for a new
hospital center here. Three hospi-
tails so far are committed to partici-
pate IN the center-Ernergency, Gar
field and Episcopal.
DR.. Vane NJ. Hoge, of the Public
Health Service, who is in charge
of administering the Hill Burton act
told The Star recently that the
hospital center law does not pre-
vent the District of Columbia from
getting its regular share of funds
under the Halliburton act

EaiIlax County Board
Grants Three Permits
IT Rezoning Hearings nj!

Reasoning hearings occupied the
major part of the meeting Of the
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors
yesterday, as the board granted
three rezoning applications, deferred
action on two, denied one and dis
missed an appeal from decision of
the County Board of zoning Appeals.
Applications approved were those
of William Anderson. Providence
district, agricultural to rural BUSH
ness; Joseph A. Mettauer, AMMAN
dale, suburban residential to general
business, and Ernest McWeadon,
Accotink Run, agricultural to rural
business.
On recommendation of the County
Planning Commission and after
hearing arguments presented by
John Eakin, developer of Hillwood
and Sleepy Hollow, who opposed the
proposal, the application Of Robert
w. Gaines for the rezoning of a
tract on the Lee boulevard at Falls
Church was denied.
Shopping Center Opposed.
Mr.. Eakin stressed that all prop
erty along the boulevard, with the
exception of intersections, should be
kept residential, and that there was
not sufficient population in the area
to support proposed shopping
center at this time.
| The tract in question Is about half
way between business districts at
Fort Buffalo and the Annandale
road. T. j. Stockton, planning engi-
neer. said the two business districts
were ample to take care of present
needs of the community.
The board deferred action on the
application of Sheldon Terry, Gar
field, to rezone tract from agricul-
tural to rural business, until the
members could view the site, after
Vernon M. Lynch, developer. voiced
opposition to the rezoning. Action
was also deferred on the applica-
ton of John c. Bonnet, Falls
Church district, to rezone from SUI
burban residential to general bust
ness, until the next meeting.
Garage Permit Denied.
The petition of Josephine 2. Del
llinger. asking the board to set aside
the ruling of the Board of Zoning
Appeals, in denying her permission
to erect garage with less sideline
setback than required by the coming
ordinance, was dismissed by the
board which ruled that it had no
jurisdiction in the matter. because
of deed covenant restrictions requir-
ing certain building setbacks.
County Treasurer Lewis M. Coy
ner reported that more than SO per
cent of county taxes for 1945 were
collected by his Office before June
80 Of this year, to set an all-time
county record for tax collections.
Last year 90 per cent of the 1914
taxes were collected prior to the
delinquent deadline.
The board authorized the County
Planning Commission to prepare an
amendment to the county coming
ordinance increasing the number of
multiple dwelling units per acre to
allow the erection of between IL
land &c units, instead of the maxi
mum II units per acre now per-
mitted.
