S77,688,650 Set Up
For SIum Clearance
lin 49 Communities
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Housing and Home Finance
Agency reported yesterday that ii
has reserved s77,68s,650 in Fed
eral grant funds for 40 communi-
ties already committed to slum
clearance and urban redevelop.
ment projects.
+ A score more communities are
getting ready to participate in the
81 billion Federal aid program
the agency said.
Housing Administrator Ray
mond M. Foley said that with
the first group of formal appli-
cations on file and grant reserva-
tions made, the agency is now
ready for the second step-pre-
liminary planning loans.
He explained that reservation
Of funds does not represent an
actual commitment. The funds
are merely set up for use when
the communities come up with
complete plans for projects inte-
grated with their overall COM
munlty development programs and
with provision for adequate re-
housing of families displaced by
the projects.
That is where the preliminary
loans come into help with prep
aration Of the detailed plans.
The Housing Act of 1949 Gre
ated a $500 million capital grant
fund for use in the first five years
of the program. under which the
Government will pay up to two
thirds of the net cost of the clear
ance and redevelopment projects
In addition, provision is made fol-
81 billion in loans.
Request for District participa-
ton in the program is now be-
| fore the Commissioners for action
Mark Lansburgh, chairman o1
the District Redevelopment Land
Agency, said the request, il
granted to the District, would al
low the agency to set up an office
and begin making plans for slun
clearance.
In a broadcast separate from
the slum clearance and redevel-
opment announcement, Mr.. Foley
tied that program closely with
the Governments public housing
plan. In an interview for the
Gannett News Service, the admin
istrator pointed to the require.
ment that housing be built fol
families displaced by the projects
That gives public housing "s
key role in making such clear.
ance possible, even though it may
not necessarily be built on q
cleared area" he said.
He said advance loans hav.
been approved for 1000 publ,
housing units in 227 localities
with a large number of applica,
tions still under review. In gen.
eral, the housing is for low -incom,
families. at rents below those fol

tions, with the Government pay
ing a subsidy to maintain the low
rents. Congress provided for 80.

time basis. The committee has
done an excellent job, but it would
like paid staff of five to 10 per-

Such authorization by Congress
would greatly facilitate and

tional program for Federal work

Several members of the Senate

pressed interest in the proposed

ground it lost to blended products
during the war.

terday that straight whiskies-
mostly bourbon, but some rye
accounted for 1873 per cent of the
140,032,345 gallons Goo proof of
whisky bottled in the United
States last year.
Blended whiskies, which had
comprised 81 per cent of United

The ministry said many buses

The only incident reported was

dio broadcast yesterday that any,
one who has charges supported by
reasonable facts" is welcome to
lay them before the subcommittee.
If the committee finds the
charges are true, we will say that.
If it finds the charges are not
true, we will say that" he added.
