Europe Eliminating
SIums Better Than
D. E., Senators Say
BY the Associated Press

Five Senators who toured North
ern Europe last year reported to
the Senate today that the Scan
dinavian countries and Holland
use cooperative housing systems
with much success"
They also said the slums in
Europe aren't as bad as some in
America.
The five members of the Bank
Ing Committee avoided recon-
mending the coop system in the
United States. They will pass on
that question later, probably to-
morrow.
The five are Senators Spark
man, Democrat, of Alabama,
Maybank, Democrat, of South
Carolina: Frear, Democrat, of
Delaware, Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont and Bricker, Republi-
can, of Ohio.
Wartime Controls Continued.
They are considering President
Truman'S latest housing plan for
families of moderate income" It
would set up new national mort
gage corporation for housing CO.
operatives with $100,000,OO0 from
the Treasury. 1t could borrow up
20 $4,000, 100000 from private in
vestors, under Government guar
antees, for loans to co-operatives.
The loans could run for as long
as 63 years with low interest rates.
The report on European housing
emphasized these points:
/. The European countries and
cities which were visited appar-
emily have done better job of
eliminating or cleaning up Slums
than this country. including this
Capital City of Washington.
2. Every European country is
continuing its wartime rent
controls.
3. The chief advantages claimed
for co-operatives are their ability
to erect large-scale projects with
all the advantages of mass pur-
chasing and mass construction.
Sweden Pushes Prefabs.
4. Prefabricated housing has
made its greatest strides in
Sweden.
5. The average Englishman pre-
fers brick house with a little
brick wall around it.
6. Private housing continues to
make progress in Europe.
AS for slums, the Senators re-
ported:
I'VE did not see any slums that
compare with some right in our

"The "open door" of the YMCA-

second-fioor door at 1885 G street

For more than three months,
the 20-year-old Marine stationed
at the Marine Barracks had been
directing and putting together
a variety show for the drama
group with talent from the club
On February 26, in the YMCA

Pvt. Landen spent all last week

good, it was to be presented at
camps in the area. Then he was
told his work had been for
nothing. The club was being
deactivated like all USO clubs
throughout the country, because
of lack of funds. The show was
closed-before it opened.
For 27-year-old Navyman Low
the lid was closed on the only
piano he could find to play in
Washington. The one at the Ma
val Gun Factory, where he's sta
toned, is for officers only.
THE only other one there got
torn up and hauled away" he
said. MY own piano was de-
stroyed when my family's house
in Indiana burned down on
Christmas Eve. My aunt has one,
but she lives 80 miles from Wash
lngton. I don't make friends
easily, so don't go to private
homes often.
Now I feel lost. I don't know
what I'll do since the club has
closed. Why, I came here at
least three times each week and
played the piano from $50 to 10
pm"
Others will miss the club. too.
About rs faces showed that last
night at canasta tables, over
magazines and huddled around
the piano singing.
