SIun1 Plan After
Million Grant
Money Is Reserved
For RedeveIopment
Of Sections Here

Definite plans will get under
way within the next few weeks
for use of a $2,250.000 Federal
grant to help finance slum clear
ance in the District. officials said
today.
Designation of the substantial
reservation for the District was
announced today by the Housing
and Home Finance Agency. The
funds, available under the new
National Housing Act, were re-
queSted by the Commissioners II
days ago.
The funds are not in form of a
final commitment, Federal officials
explained, since loan and grant
contracts under the act are
signed only on the basis of spe-
cific. approved projects" The
reservation holds until July /, 1851.
Planners Must Give Approval.
However, Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Thomas J. Hayes,
Sd, explained that the District
need only begin planning on a
project by that date, and that
studies have been going on for
some time in possible areas" for
redevelopment here.
The money, if approved, would
be spent through the District Re-
development Land Agency after
specific projects are approved by
the Commissioners and certified
to the land agency. First, the
projects must be approved by the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Col. Hayes said the matter Ger
tainly will be on the agenda" of
the planning group at it's next
meeting June Is.
May Ask Advance Funds.
He added that the District also
may apply Immediately for ad-
vance planning and survey
funds, and noted that this might
be the first step. More detailed
plans then will be formulated by
the planning commission staff,
and referred to the commission
by its co-ordinating committee.
Col. Hayes said the $2,250, 900
is all the grant money to which
the District is entitled through
June of next year.
The housing act provided 81 bill
lion in loans and $500 million in
capital grants over a five-year Pc
riod to aid communities in elimi-
mating slums and blighted areas,
and making areas available for
slum clearance. Purpose of the
grants is to absorb up to two
thirds of the loss between resale
value of such land and the cost
of acquiring, clearing and pre-
pairing it for new uses.
Follows Congress Refusal.
There has been no determina-
ton of the extent of District
participation in the loan provision
of the act for projects, Col. Hayes
said.
The Federal agency stressed
that the funds set aside "are not
binding commitments to enter
into contracts for financial aids, u
and that to maintain the reserva-
tions definite steps toward meet
ing qualifications must be
taken within six months"
The Commissioners request of
the Federal ALLEGATION closely fol-
lowed refusal of Congress to
appropriate funds for the long
planned Marshall Heights rede-
velopment project.
The grant reservation for the
District was the 104th approved
by the housing agency, officials
said. The total of reserved grant
funds is $136, ,907, ,320.

Soviet Offers West Europe Grain
In Response to Move by U. n. to
Break Postwar rode Deadlock
Russio to Negotiate
Agreement to Provide
Loree-ScoIe Supply
BY the Associated Press


GENEVA, Switzerland, May 80.
A Soviet offer to negotiate an
agreement for the large-scale sup
ply of Russian grain to Western
Europe was published here today
by the United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe.
Prof. Gunnar Myrdal, of Swe-
den, the commissions executive
secretary, suggested last Novem-
ber that a grain agreement should
be negotiated between East and
West Europe to break the post
war stagnation of trade between
the two areas.
The Soviet reply, made public
by Mr.. Myrdal today, said the pro-
posal had been "favorably received
by the government of the
U. S. S. r."
Soviet delegates would "in due
course" take part in a European
grain conference under the. COM
missions auspices. the reply said.
Mr.. Myrdal has been touring
European capitals, including
Moscow. during recent weeks and
discussed his proposals with SEN
ior government officials.
Talked With Vishinsky.
Western officials, he told a news
conference, were on the whole
favorable to the proposed ap-
proach for changing the depress-
ing climate"
He discussed his proposals in
MoScaw earlier this month with
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Vishinsky and Deputy Premier A.
Mikoyan.
AS a result Of his Moscow con-
versations, Mr.. Myrdal said. he
received a letter from Anatole
Koulagenkov, Soviet minister to
Switzerland, last week, expressing
Soviet approval of his suggestions.
Mr.. Myrdal's proposal specifi-
cally suggested a European grain
agreement, based on the existing
international wheat agreement.
He stressed, however. that the
same approach might be extended
to other East European raw mate
rials needed by the West.
The proposed agreement would
include long-term purchase COM
mitmentS by the West, with upper
and lower price limits and mini
mum quantity commitments. In
return. the Western countries
would permit the proceeds from
the sale of the Eastern supplies
to be used for purchases selected
from an agreed list of Western
products, free of export controls.
No Retreat on Main Issue.
Mr.. Myrdal told today's news
conference that the East-West
trade deadlock had been largely
caused by a Soviet refusal to pro-
vide information on potential ex-
ports and a simultaneous Western
refusal to relax export controls on
strategic industrial products.
II must emphasize" Mr.. Myrdal
declared, that no government has
retreated from its principles ir
this issue.
But they are prepared now te
discuss business on a technical
level. They have expressed an in
terest in opening negotiations"
He said he would now Sound
out" the situation and, given ia
vorable conditions. a European
grain conference might be called
by the end of the summer to dis
euss a draft of a European grair
treaty to be worked out. mean

Waterloo, with its sad record of

question now is can the Caps look
just as good against better-grade

The Stays may provide part of
the answer. They've beaten the

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Jan. o.
The Senior Football game was
both a huge success and dank
failure.
The caliber of the football
played was the highest. Travis
Tidwell led the South all-stars to
an upset 22-13 victory over the
better-known stars of the North
squad. Every player lived UP to
expectations.
But a crowd Of only a little
more than 1900 left promoters
an estimated $4,000 plus in the
hole. Players cashed in less than
expected in their first professional
venture.
Each of the winning Rebels took
away $475. The losing Yankees
got $343 apiece. All their ex-
penses while here and transporta-
tion was paid, so their take was
clear.
But Charles N. Rolfe. jr.. Of
Nashville, president Of the Senior
Bowl Association, hopes to get
$1,000 and more for each player
in the next all-star game. That
may mean moving the game to
another site where it could be
expected to draw better.
Three cities have made attrac-
eve offers, Rolfe said, but a de-
cision won't be made for at least
q month.
Rolfe said he couldn't believe
the Southwest Conference &C
tually would 60 through with Its
announced plan Of stopping schol-
arships for the eight Southern
Conference players in the game

Rolfe said.
The players knew beforehand
that such participation would end
financial aid at their various
schools. The conference, at its
winter meeting December 10, de-
cided they would and informed
them at that time.
In the case OF three Southern
Methodist players, only one stands

game. Since he received only $343
for his participation at Jackson

board room and laundry money
would have run four months,
making5a total of $3.50. Added to
the $500 tuition he gives up $3.50,
so he ends up with a deficit of $207
Other players who forfeited
athletic benefits by playing at
Jacksonville were Ray Borneman
and Paul Campbell of Texas

Some of the players are veterans
and are receiving their tuition
