Alexandria Groups
To Present Petition
At Office Tomorrow

Representatives of more than q
dozen welfare. veterans and labor
organizations in Alexandria, headed
by Mayor w. T. wilkins. tomorrow
will urge Representative Smith.
Democrat, of Virginia, to "use all
the means at his disposal to promote
the prompt enactment" OF the Taft
Ellender- Wagner housing bill.
The request is contained in petit
tion to be presented to Mr.. Smith
at 2::30 pm. in his office.
The group, organized by the Alex
andria League of Women Voters.
also will ask Mr.. Smith to support
efforts of Representative Douglas.
Democrat, of California, to discharge
the measure from the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee. The
bill already has passed the Senate.
In the petition. drafted up the
League of Women Voters with the
aid of Robert S. Marshall, jr., exec
utive director of the Alexandria
Housing Authority. the various or
ganizations emphasize the need for
an expanded public housing pro-
gram, more medium price houses
and rental units. slum clearance
and a new housing survey in the
city.
Only 130 Units Available.
They say that although Alexan-
dria has population of about 75,-
900, there are only 100 rental units
for low income white residents
which are not allocated specifically
for the use of Fort Belvoir or Naval
Ordnance Plant personnel.
| For low income colored residents.
according to the petition, there are
only 291 units available.
There is pressing demand for s35
to $50 a month rental units for vet
serans and their families" the Pc
tition declares. Because so few
rental units are available under $50
month, middle-in families are
forced either to pay rent above their
income ability or double up with
other families in conditions detri-
mental to health and family well
fare"
Similar conditions exist in private
homes, the petition adds, with mid
dle-income buyers faced with in
curing mortgage Indebtedness be-
yond the safe margin of relationship
to total income"
Alexandria Slums Cited.
| On slum clearance, the petition
states some of the worst slum areas
in America adjoin main thorough
fares and points of tourist interest"
in the Alexandria area.
In urging that a new housing sur
vey be made of the citys needs, the
petition points out that Alexandria s
population has more than doubled
since the last survey was made in
1899.

ton, according to the voters group,

TO Resume Contract
Par|ey1omorrow

Negotiations between representa-
tives of nine dairies and Local 246
of the Milk and Dairy Employees,
AFL, will be resumed tomorrow IN
an effort to agree on a new contract
that would avoid possible strike ac-
ton by the l, 500 union members.
The union voted last week to
strike next Sunday if agreement on
wages and other demands is not
reached by that time. The present
contract expires Sunday. Confer
ences have been under way since
May 10.
Herman A. Schulteis, vice presi-
dent of the Chestnut Farms Chevy
Chase Dairy, a member of the in
dustry negotiating committee, said
the strike vote does not mean the
employers and workers will be un-
able to agree on a new contract.
He explained that discussions to
date have centered largely on en-
ployment classification questions
and that progress has been made.
I'VE haven't yet talked about the
new wage demand" he explained.
when we do come to the matter
of wages, I. for one, must not only
consider our workers, but must con-
slider our customers as we'll"
Mr.. SchuIteis said that the ne
gotiations are conducted on an in
dustry basis and that the Nego-
tiating Committee and the indi-
vidual companies prefer not to COM
ment at this time on possible milk
price increases that might result
from higher wages.
Il personally cannot see how the
present price of milk can be .i1ain-
tained if we are forced to grant
new demands for higher wages" Mr..
