SeIeciive Plan
Of Enforcing
Code Weighed
Policy Would centel
On improving
Rundown Areas

A proposed policy under which
controversial provisions of the
projected new housing code may
be enforced on a neighborhood
basis in rundown areas. rather
than on an individual basis in
good neighborhoods. is being
considered by code advisers.
Some such policy, it is
thought, might bring property
owners and health officials
closer to agreement on just what
should be required under the
new housing rules.
For example, strict retroac-
tive ban on windowless kitchens
would require major rebuilding
Of what might be otherwise a
perfectly sound apartment house.
An enforcement policy of cor
recting deteriorated housing on
a neighborhood basis, with cer-
tain qualifications. might pro-
vide way around this objection,
so long as a building remained
in good condition and the neigh
borhood around it was kept up,
according to the new idea.
May Come Up Friday.
The plan may be presented to
the Commissioners-at a meeting
on Friday on several aspects of
the knotty task of developing a
code to improve Washington s
housing standards without being
unduly onerous to property
owners.
A proposed enforcement policy
declaration has been prepared by
q. Yates Cook, executive director
of the Federal City Council.
1t was discussed yesterday by.
Charles B. Dulcans chairman of
the Housing Code Committee;
William Harold Dyer, vice chair-
man of the review committee,
and Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert F. Kneipp.
Mr.. Kneipp and Mr.. Cook will
meet today to go over the pro-
posak Mr.. Cook is including a
suggestion for a review board
composed of both District off,
cials and appropriate members
Of the COMMUNICATING.
Redraft in Prospect.
If the new enforcement idea
proves acceptable to the advi-.
sers. the steering committee will
propose to the city heads that
the housing code be redrafted
to the extent necessary. along
with consideration of the views
expressed at a public hearing
recently on the present draft.

not be too hasty in pensonng older employees since
they do possess certain knowledge gained through expert

Bro Bella did not agree with this line of thinking since

and not asked whether not they desire to remain
employed beyond the period provided by the Pension By

Bro Bella, therefore, makes motion that bro Lpano-

Bro Mandich refuses to put the motion to vote on

e therefore, makes the motion to hire bro Luketlch
clerk at the Home Office in the circulation department.
Bro. Mandich tabled the motion by stating that there
is vacancy at the present time for any personnel
and he therefore, recommends that the application of bro
Luketich be considered the arrival of the Legal Coun
sellor
Bro. Bella dsagrees with this, and also questions the
right of the Supreme President to table bro Kraschs
ton He further states that the personnel which had ter
minated their employment during the last couple of years
have not been replaced for and aside from that
of the present employees is eligible for pension at the
end of this year, which will provide vacancy Therefore
bro LA feels that bro Lukech should be considered for
employment at this time
Bro. Vukelch also spoke this subject by informing
the Board that postal representative had been at the
Home Office recently and had complained that Official
Organ and the Junior Magazine give them the most trouble
and that something must be done to correct the situation
Bro Krasich also questioned the right of the President
to table his motion and further stated that the Executive
Board always decided the question of the personnel at the
Home Office, and not the President alone.
Bro. Mandich stated that his decision shall stand until
he receives legal opinion the matter He further feels
that the Supreme President has sole supervision over all
personnel and that it his prerogatve to hire and fire.
At this point bro Ovcarich read section 208 of the
Bylaws which plainly states that the Executive Board
does all of the hiring and not the President It very plain
that Supreme President is trying to violate
