he pointed out.
Mr.. 1hlder said the authoritv's
program contemplates 1000 units
on sparsely settled or vacant land
and 1000 units on land nearer the
center of the city.
Last year. when the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency seemed about
to be implemented. the authority
drafted a program which assumed
effective cooperation between the
two" the report said. 1T was
evident that there is not enough
available vacant or sparsely occu-
pied land in the District to pro-
vide sites for 1000 low-rent dwell
lngs. Therefore cleared slum sites
must be utilized.

moreover, unless adequate sites
for low-rent family dwellings are
provided on cleared sites, the Re-
development Land Agencys pro-
gram will be stopped because,
under the law, it cannot displace
families unless other dwellings are
available"
So far. the Redevelopment Land
Agency's program has not ad-
vanced far enough to provide any
inlying sites for purchase by the
authority, the report pointed out.
On October l, 1851, the Stand
ard Construction Co. was given
authority by NCHA to build 348
permanent low-rent dwellings at
Alabama avenue and Stanton road

the first construction on perma-
nent public housing in the District

1000 families needing low-rent
housing. Mr.. Ihlder declared.

BrookIyn's Is

BROOKLYN (AP) Pitcher
Frank Hitler is the luckiest guy
on the Cincinnati Reds roster. He
didn't have to watch Wednesday
nights ball game with the Brook
lyn Dodgers.
Manager Luke Sewell sent Hill
ler to his hotel early so he'd get
plenty of rest for his pitching
stint against the Brooks today.
But it shouldn't require much
rest for Hitler to do as well as
Sewell Blackwell, Bud Byerly,
Herman Wehmeier and Frank
Smith. While Hitler was resting,
those four young men were serv-
ing up the pitchers that allowed
the Dodgers to set five new rec
ords in 10 to l victory over the
RedlegS.
All four saw action in an hour
long first inning in which Brook
lyn scored Is runs, II of them
coming after two were out, and
sent 81 to bat After that it didn't
make much difference what hap

fore young Joe Nuxhall came on
to provide the only bright spot in
the evening for Cincinnati.
Nuxhall, hurting for the first
time this season in a league game,
allowed only one hit in three in
nings and famed three.
Blackwell, who was charged
with his sixth defeat as against
only one victory, got only one man
out in that first inning. He walked
two and allowed four hits and
three runs before Byerly moved
in to take his Jumps.
Byerly also got one out but he
walked one and gave up four hits
and five runs. Then it was Web
meier's turn and at least there was
variety in his pitching. He faced
three men-walked one, hit one
and gave up one hit to be charged
with three runs.
Smith eventually got the side
out by the time Nuxhall took over
the Dodgers had dubbed Smith
for eight hits and seven more runs.
The futility of the Reds pitch
ing is shown in these figures: They
gave up II hits, including three
home runs; issued 10 walks and
hit two batterS.
