Senate Quiz Reopens
WindfaI| Hearings in
New York Today
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 81. The
Senate Banking Committee
opens a second round of hear
ings in New York today to look
into Slum clearance operations
and windfall profits on Govern
nt-backed housing projects,
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana, committee chairman,
says he will hear evidence on
how 18 builders in the New York
area got windfalls totaling more
than $14 million on projects
mortgaged with Federal Housing
Administration guarantees.
Windfalls profits in these
cases occur when the actual con-
struction cost is lower than the
FILA approved mortgage. The
difference is often pocketed by
the builder.
Says Firm Got SIT Million.
Senator Capehart said one
firm, which he did not identify,
got a SIT million windfall from
an original investment of SIS. 900.
The committee held a series of
hearings here last month and
since then has probed housing
operations in Los Angeles. New
Orleans. Chicago, Indianapolis
and Detroit.
At a news conference yester-
day Senator Capehart COM
mented: "Mortgaging out wind
falD has been far worse in
Greater New York than in any
other part Of the United States.
The best this committee can do
is scratch the surface"
William Simon, chief counsel
for the committee, said Friday
the committee will check on the
Manhattantown slum clearance
project on New York's Upper
West Side. He said the probers
want to know why the builder
is taking so long to relocate slum
tenants.
Only One Block Cleared.
Under the slum clearance pro-
gram, he continued, the Federal
and city governments buy up
slun property and then sell it
to private builders for what it is
worth without the buildings.
The builher also gets an al
lowance for the cost of tearing
down the old tenements.
The Manhattantown site cost
the Government about SIG mil
lion and was sold to the builders
two years ago for a little more
tran SO million, Mr.. Simon said.
So far, he added, only one block
of the six in the project has been
cleared and rents are still being
collected from tenants in the
other blocks.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27.-Bishop
Bernard j. She'll, who once
termed Senator Mccarthy. Re-
publican of Wisconsin an in
effective headline hunter, says
he will devote all his available
time and resources to fight for
freedom against Communist
tyranny.
The 66-year-old Roman Cath
olic auxiliary bishop of Chicago
said in a statement last night
his aim will be Ito show the
deStructiveness of communism
to individual morals and to the
political morality of the world"
The statement said the bish-
ops participation as director
and an actor in the Freedom
Festival, a pageant to be pre-
sented at the international
Amphitheatre Sunday, will be
"a first big step in this fight
against tyranny"
The prelate recently resigned
as director general of the Cath
olic Youth Organization. Net
proceeds from the Freedom
Festival are to go to the CYO.
Bishop She'll called Senator
Mccarthy, who also is a Roman
Catholic, a headline hunter in a
speech to the CIO United Auto
Workers Union last April 8.
II take a pretty dim view of
some noisy anti-Communists-
one in particular, the junior Sen
ator from Wisconsin," the bishop
said at that time. II. do not
take a dim view of them be-
cause they are anti Communists,

THE annual George
= Washington Birth
night Ball, sponsored by
the Mount Vernon Citi-
zens' Association, was held
Friday at the Belle Haven
Country Club in Fairfax
County.
Although costumes were
optional, most citizens were
dressed in Colonial fashion,
which added much to the
pageantry and color of the
occasion. Wise members of
the association tried on their
costumes ahead of time. and,
to lend the proper atmosphere,
paraded them against the
backgrounds of Mount Vernon
itself and nearby Woodlawn.
In years past, the birthnight
ball was given in the historic
Woodlawn or Collingwood
mansions, but this year the
large number of acceptances
for the brilliant event called
for a more spacious locale.
Mr.. Maurice G. Herndon was
chairman for the ball.
