that it should be used only so
long as the defense emergency
lasted.
The 400 units are in rs diff
ferent frame buildings. CO.
lored families occupy the
homes.
More than a year ago, PHA
started to "vacate" tenants in
line with the law which said
such housing should be re-
moved.
But there was a shortage of
housing in the Dundalk area,
and the Baltimore County
Commissioners sought to take
over the development at no
cost to the county.
Then it was found the COM
missioners had no authority to
operate it. But Federal law
did allow negotiated" sale of
such developments to owners
of the underlying land pro-
vided county officials passed a
resolution finding the housing
was suitable for long-term
use on it's present site"
On March 10, Baltimore
County commissioners passed
such a resolution. The county
also stipulated the buyer must
recondition the houses so that
they would meet code require
ments within two years.
The average rent of the
units has been $40 a month
only q little less than half the
purchase price per unit to the
Sellers Point Co.
About tWo-thlrdS at present
. are not occupied because of
PHA's policy Of not renting
them preparatory to removing
the dwellings from the site.
Owing to the low-unit price
obtained. should the dwellings
have been offered first for bids
to salvage firms? PHA con-
tends this course would have
been more costly to the Gov
eminent, because of generally
low bids which it says are re-
ceived from salvage firms, and
because the Government was
obligated to return the site
to its original condition.
PHA was asked if it had
any further comment about
how it handled the transaction,
or any other statement it
might consider necessary to
explain the sharp contrast be-

tween the cost and the sale
price.
An official made this state
ment for the agency:
This is another object It's
son on the tremendous cost Of
World War II and of the
Korean emergency.
1.-THE sale shows how deci-
sions of long-since-gone COM
missionerS of another admin
istration can come back to
haunt the present admi..istra-
ton of the agency.
Back in 1912, a major policy
decision to lease land instead
Of buying it, for wartime
projects, was made, based on
the theory that the Govern
ment could hold down costs
and that it should not be in
the land business.
"This decision has been
proved increasingly unwise as
the temporary housing projects
. lived past their lifetime, and
the housing pinch on the Ma
tons communities grew in
stead of diminishing.
To-day, under the law, the
Governments temporary hous-
ing projects have outlived their
inflated wartime costs, and the
Government is still. by the
terms of its leaseholdS, under
the obligation to remove the
dwellings from the leased land.
"There are alternatives, but
they are all comfortable by the
landowners, who can pur-
chase the structures, generally
at their own price, unless the

Government is willing to go to
the additional expense Of tear
ing down the structures and
taking its chances on the
doubtful salvage value.
I'm the case of Sellers
Homes, which has used up its
original cost and has become
an expensive maintenance
problem, the Government was
taking a loss of between $4,000
and $1,000 a month.
"If PHA restored the site
to its original condition, the
cost of so doing was estimated
by q private fee appraiser to
be in excess of the salvage re-
turn"

PARKING

while to charge fringe lot users
reduced fares for ferry service
to and from the downtown area.
The parking agency has already
taken the first preliminary step
toward the new goal. 1t has
asked the commissioners to make
available property at the south
end of South Capitol Street
Bridge to accommodate 1000
cars. The request comes at a
time when New York City is
actively studying its own fringe
plan that would involve use of
land across the Hudson River in
New Jersey.
The present concept for the
Nations Capital differs materi-
ally from the last fringe venture.
Two lots were established in that
first experiment. One, near Vir-
ginia avenue and Twenty-sixth
street NV, was too small and
lacked good accessibility. The
other. at John Marshall place
and c street NV, was too close
to downtown to be worth the
drivers while. And on both lots
a parking fee was levied and bus
fares were standard.
Gen. Prentiss emphasizes that
number of chief factors must
be considered in approaching the
parking dilemma:
. First, the motorist must be
pleased-as much as the harried
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-19

worth of horsepower 1t is always
important to check car weight.
rear end gearing and especially
torque.
1t is also a fact that today's
power is being offered as means
of obtaining gasoline economy,
the high reserve with high rear
end gearing providing a means
of raising gas mileage without in
any way of robbing the car of
performance featS
The powerful engine loafs more
over a period of time. It all adds
up to economy.
Lag in Understanding.
The lag in public understand
ing Of mechanical improvements
explains why there are no major
innovations for 1854.
Car dealers are finding it de-
sirable to give directions for
more efficient use of present
equipment, especially the han
ding of power brakes on slippery
roads and power steering on the
open highway.
1t easily explains why Detroit
has taken SO keenly to the sports
car field because here it can
whet the automotive appetite
without asking the public, eSpe-
cially the driver, to learn any
new tricks.
1t should have a safety angle,
too. There is feeling that pride
of possession may help to en-
courage greater care in the
handling of the 1854 special
models.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-19

The 81 Oldsmobile is the most
changed to come out in the last
10 years. It is so different. the
company claims, that it had
originally been scheduled to be
brought out next year.
Oldsmobile explains the switch
in its production time table by
saying 1t scrapped the original
designs for this year when pro-
duction problems for the 1885"
model unexpectedly we're licked.
Whatever the reason, the new
Olds is a much-changed car. It's
new body reflects the public in
terest in sports cars and its
choice of optional devices follows
the trend toward making driv-
ing effortless.
Driving a new Olds-with all
the extras-is less than child's
play. About the only work in
volved is opening and closing

The public has it within it's
power to make the highways
safe and cut the death rate to
a less CHASTITY figure:
Youth can be trained in proper
driving skills and attitudes. Ex-
perienced drivers can make
mental notes of good driving
practices.
Highways can be better engi-
neered to eliminate hazards.
This would include recognition
of the fact that certain high
speed superroads, the so-called
hypnotic highways" tend to
produce uncontrolled sleepiness.
Vehicles can be inspected and
certified as safe to drive.
Further safety features can
be built into cars, highways can
be better marked and signs
erected to serve notice Of
hazards.
There is action along all these
lines. What has already been
done has helped lower the death
rate. despite the gain in total
dea tbs.
But the key to less bloodshed
in motoring is the driver.

Mr.. Rodes points out that it

Of getting cost-free land to use
for lots.
One conclusion could be that
if the Federal Government has
such an express interest in
achieving free circulation" of
traffic by means of expanded
parking facilities, why shouldn't
Federal land be made available to
the District for such use?
Some choice Federal property
such as that on the Virginia side
of Memorial Bridge and in Sol

as seemingly well suited to the
city'S fringe plan.
