u Pints Of Blood
To Former Colleague

the Red Cross, there must be

donors coming to the center at

rate of collection, the Red Cross
said, there will be no reserve
blood supply for the week start

Good Faith,
Cole Explains
a.. 0~I..L ~.,...
BY Robert J. Lewis

The Government today told
local communities to fight slums
vigorously and on a broad front
or forfeit Federal aid to buy and
demoliSh the worst areas.
Housing Administrator Albert
M. Cole told The Star today this
was the first step to bring the
agency's Slum-clearance and re-
development policies in line with
q recent directive from Congress.
Asked whether this means he
favors a breakdown by local COM
munities on slum landlords who
persist in allowing housing to
decay, Mr.. Cole said:
1T certainly does"
In letters sent out this week to
officials Of more than 70 cities,
the Housing and Home Finance
Agency acted to obtain informa-
tion needed to administer the
$1,000 million slum clearance law
under new conditions imposed in
a bill signed by President Eisen-
hover July 81.
The letters requested cities to
supply information on:
/. What the communities have
done to show they are perform
ing their part Of the slum- -eradi-
cation job through enforcement
of local health, sanitation and
safety laws, and what they intend
to do in the future.
2. Whether the cities consider
1t feasible to rehabilitate neigh
borhoods they are now on record
as wishing to have purchased
from slum owners for demoli-
ton.
In an interview, Mr.. Cole said
unless local communities can
demonstrate they are bonafide
partners in the slum-elimination
job they cannot expect to qualify
for grants and loans under the
new conditions imposed by Con-
gress.
In a separate interview, James
w. Follin, director of HHFA's
Slum Clearance and Redevelop-
ment Division, said he considered
the legislative emphasis on "posi-
tive participation" by local COM
munities to be of major i'm
portance.
Even without the new mandate
from Congress-, he said, the
