Bing, Can You Also Dream Of Purple Christmas?

DR.. Morgen's men get into full
swing with their brushes
and/or SpreaderS.
It is at Christmastime,
however, that DR.. Morgen's in
nocent plan to help the farmer
may get out of hand. AT this
most colorful season, what
could be more fitting than to
add another dash--to the
front lawn. The Scrooges
might at last find Joy in the
Christmas season by spread
ing United States Treasury
green-although that's a cold
color and not one the re-
SearcherS would be apt to rec
ommend as a melting agent
and pretend that 1t isn't
Christmas at all.
It opens another threat to
domestic tranquility, a threat
which could come as regularly
as fall housecleaning. particu-.
larly in the North Country.
After the blinds have been
busted, the furniture rear
ranged and another bucket Of
water added to smooth the
igloo walls, wife will turn to
husband and inquire:
How shall we do the snow
this year?"
The argument could last all
night. And in the North Coun-
try that's a pretty long time.
Scientists already have pre-
dicted that in a million or so
years, because of certain
quirks in the universe, our
summers will be longer and
our winters shorter. But DR..
Morgen, an impatient man,
has chosen not to wait. No
body's going to accuse the
scientists Of sitting around
on their laboratory stools,
doing nothing about the
weather.

DR.. r. A. Morgen's plan for
making the spring SHOWS as
colorful as an Isfahan, but a
lot less stable. includes no
mention Of a purple Christ
mas. But the potential is
there.
The research disclosed by
DR.. Morgen of the National
Science Foundation is con-
cerned with the possibility of
daubing the snow with color;
specifically, the spring snow.
This, recalling a basic les
son of high school physics that
white reflects heat while col
ors absorb heat, would make
the snow melt faster. It
would warm the land, bring
ing spring apace. The advan-
tages-and the disadvantages
are at once apparent.
Success in such an enter
prise would bring cheer to the
heart of the farmer, who could
use a smile right now. With
the snow gone, the land would
be more quickly in shape for
plowing and planting. It is
the farmer who is the chief
concern Of the snow-dauberS.
But to the devotee Of fox
and-geese-who contributes to
the economy somewhat less
than the farmer, but is, after
all, a taxpayer-the suggestion
brings nothing but gloom. He
will have to man the fox
holes, so to speak, to guard
against progress and protect
the playing field of that game
for the young and pure in
heart. And what about the
cliche-monger and some of his
favorite SMILES, like white
as snow?

the practicability of such a
procedure seems remote. This
would put the snow meters in

the rain makers, who have had
a little more experience in
toying with the weather and
even some success.

tions. the Department Of Sani-
tary Engineering and the
Health Department. The Sur
veyor took the view that good
money had been poured into
renovations and that depriv-
ing the owners of their in
vestment would be unjust.
The Welfare Department and
the Veterans Service Center
said the need for low-income
housing is so great as to
justify their continuance at
this time. The police, Fire
Department and Assessors
Office offered no opinion, al
though the Fire Department
did say that extra fire hazards
exist. The corporation coun-
sci offered no written reply.
Nor did the National Capital
Housing Authority or the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. The latter two,
however, were represented on
the special committee ap-
pointed to make recommended 5
tion to the Commissioners and
headed by the Districts vet
eran slum-fighter, John Ihlder.
Gist Of Attitude
In capsule the committees
position was that no matter
how you slice it, an alley
dwelling is still an alley dwell
ing. Its report declared:
while recognizing that re-
conditioning has materially
improved some alley houses,
the committee also recognizes
that it has further complicated
an already complicated prob
lem by tending to perpetuate
basically bad conditions such
as land overcrowding, mac
cessibility and concealment
from public view. Consequent
ly, if what has been done is
condoned and is permitted to
become a precedent, it will

mony at the hearing and the
split feelings Of their own
agencies, it seems most un-
likely that the Commissioners
will allow these renovated
properties reconditioned un-
der District permit-to be con-
fiscated. They have two outs.
One would be to ask Congress
for further extension Of the
much-extended effective date
of the law. This, however,
might hamper their attack on
the slum dwellings. The other
out would be to seek amend
ment of the statute to exempt
satisfactorily renovated quar-
ters. They could set their own
standards on what is Satisfac-
tory. Place your bets on some
solution as this.

have evil consequences for the

To the high-class alley
dwellers who turned out for
the public hearing last week,
this is a lot of persiflage. They
like the privacy of their con-
cealment-some paying more
than $4,000 for it. They en-
joy being tucked away while
still being in the very middle
of things. They like the in
innate atmosphere of their
community living where they

"And she lives down in our
all-lee."
Come shed a nostalgia tear,
all We who this have sung, for
fine old institution which
heartless law may rule exc
tinct for habitation here come
July /, 1955-the alley.
An alley, to borrow a phrase,
is a sometime thing. Sometime
it's a slum spawning filth,
disease and human degreda-
tion which, in the general well
fare, must be extirpated. But
sometime it gets dressed up
in Sunday clothes. It may
become a "court"-clean, at
tractive to the eye and occu-
pied by people able to afford a
decent standard of living.
Have you looked recently
down an uninhabited alley?
Garbage and trash cans over
flowing. Broken glass and
debris. Orange peels and
maybe an old hat. Inhabited.
though, it takes on a quaint
ness. a personality. To de-
stroy a personality, unless it
be a slum or criminal one,
must be some form of mur-
der. just as perhaps the other
would to justif1able homicide.
District alley homes have
been under fire since 1892,
officials say. Then Congress
passed an act forbidding erec-
ton of new alley dwellings.
The hope here was for auto
matte solution as existing alley
dwellings collapsed and were
converted to other use. Teddy
Roosevelt sought a swifter
answer. He pushed through
another law in 1906 turning
inhabited alleys into minor
streets. His thought was that
opening these hidden" COM
munities to more public view
would shame owners into re-
development. officials point to
Neal place NV. as an exam
pie of the failure of his dream:
A slum then and today.
Unenforced Low
In 1914 the so-called Alley
Dwelling Act was passed but
never enforced. It would have
forbidden alley dwellings un-
less they met certain require
mentS.
AS the effective date of the
act approached. Congress each
time, for one reason or another
mostly lack of alternate
housing-postponed it. In the
Redevelopment Act of 1945 the
date was extended to 1855.
The number of such dwell
ingS has declined with the
passing of years. A Health
Department survey last year
listed 112 alleys, 101 of which
contained slum dwellings. The
II others contained 50 dwellings
renovated for the most part.
Since that survey. however,
the number of renovations ap-
parently has increased to
something more than 100.
Far from unanimous are the
10 District agencies asked to
report on the issue. Four were
for complete elimination of
alley dwellings. They were the
