NCHA 10 Raze
285 Units Of
War Housing
3 Projects Involved;
Bi-RocioI Occupancy
Set for 3 More

The National Capital Housing
Authority yesterday voted to tear
down 285 temporary war housing
units and open three more pub
lie housing developments to oc-
cupancy by all races.
The recommendations acted on
at the regular meeting of NCHA
came from James Ring, execu-
tive director.
The housing units which are
to be vacated and torn down are:
Monroe Street Dwellings in
Northeast. Washington. the
Mead Grant Street Dwellings in
far Northeast, and the Tunlaw
Road Dwellings in Northwest.
Deadline Set.
The NCHA set November 80
as the deadline for 90 tenants
at Tunlaw Road to vacate. The
other two will be vacated by
March l. 1854.
Mr.. Ring said some 1000 tenn
porary units built during World
War II remain. Plans are to shift
about 800 of these units to pub
lie housing status and dispose of
the remainder.
The three public housing de-
velopments that will be opened
to all races by September l are
Hopkins Place Dwellings. James
Greek Dwellings and Parkside
Dwellings,. All are occupied by
colored families now.
There are % units in Hopkins
Dwellings. 279 in James Creek
and 373 units in Parkside.
Recommendations Asked.
The NCHA then instructed the
staff to bring in recommends
tions at the September meeting
on all public housing units in
the city that are still segregated.
The NCHA has adopted a policy
favoring non-segregated use of
all public housing. The Septem-
ber recommendations will, in ef-
feet, only set the time table for
the six remaining units-V
Street, Willston, Kelly Miller,
Langston, Barry Farms and Fort
Dupont.
The NCHA already has opened
nine other public housing de-
velopments to bi-racial occu-
pancy and stated that two in the
planning stage will be so occu-
pied.
The September meeting also
will receive recommenda, ions
concerning bi-racial occupancy
of all planned projects not al
ready voted on. Each case is
considered separately. although
the policy clearly calls for elimi-
nation of segregation.

Once a school teacher has
worked her way up to being a
principal, as a rule she doesn't
get a chance to teach any more.
But Miss Catherine E. Crook is
breaking the rule.
Miss Crook, principal of Kra-
mer Junior High School since
1916. is becoming a teacher
again. For the next two years
she is to instruct in math and
physics at a Church of England
boys school in the Gold Coast.
British colony in Africa, and
Kramer will have a substitute
principal.
Miss Crook is going to Africa
under the Fulbright program,
the State Departments ex-
change program which has sent
many American teachers over
seas since shortly after World
War II.
Her two-year grant is unusual
most are for only one. It is also
unusual to have a principal re-
cruited, and no American teach
ers have been sent to the Gold
Coast under the program.
Her assignment is a one-way
deal rather than an exchange.
State Department aides call it,
in fact, practically a missionary
job.
Old Slave Center.
The Gold Coast, once a center
of the slave trade, is on the
South Atlantic about half way
up the African coastline. 1t is
just five degrees north of the
Equator. Miss Crooks destina-
ton is the AdiSedal College in
Cape Coast, a town west of
Accra. the capital.
The college, despite its name,
is on the high school level. 1t
is a boarding school for native
boys. Miss Crook doesn't know
yet what grades she will teach,
where she will live or anything
much about the living condi-
tiens, except that it's usually
hot.
But the temperatures don't
look any worse to me than
Washington's SUMNER" she said.
Because of its out-of- -the-way
location and tropical climate,
