The District Commissioners to-
day agreed that about 1900, ,addi-
tional public housing units win
be needed here to house low-in-
come families displaced by re.
development activities In the next
two years or 90.
The city heads were asked to
approve o resolution certifying
such Q need by James Rigg. ex-
ecutive director Of the National
Capital Housing Authority.
Mr.. Ring explained that the
1854 Housing Act asks that local
governing bodies certify needs

$500 Already OK'd.
He said that the Commission.
ers previously had authorised
some 1000 units under 1850
agreements after the Housing
Act Of l949. He said $500 Of this
number were built or about 10 be
constructed, but that approval

ed under the terms Of the new
housing act.
Mr.. Ring said he had confer
red with redevelopment authori-
ties on the need for the estimated
$500 units, and that 1t Is In.
dicated they will be amply justi.
ned by activities displacing
families within the next two or
two and q half years.
There could be no controversy
as to the question Of whether
existing housing could take care
of the need, Mr.. Ring said, ex.
planning that the rate of vacan.
cies In public housing had been
taken into FULL account In ar.
riving at the estimate. He said
not only was the rate OF turn-
over considered, but also the
number Of low-income families
who may be displaced by the
remaining work of Southwest
redevelopment and part Of the
proposed Northwest urban re-
newal.
Sanitary Factor.
There is also the element Of
enforcement Of the sanitary
laws and the housing code. he
added.
| Asked about the availability
of private housing. Mr.. Ring
said while there are some Va.

are considerably higher than the

Sought by keneipp

District TRAFFIC Director George
b. Keneipp today proposed ex-
tension Of the downtown wash
ington parking ban from the
present 7 to $50 am. period TO
II am.
Col. Thomas A. Lane. District
Engineer Commissioner immedi-
ately announced that the sug-
gestion will be discussed in 9
special meeting In the District
Building board room at 2::30 pm.
next Thursday. ~.
The area covered IN Mr.,
Reneipp's plan is bounded by
Seventh and Fifteenth streets,
Pennsylvania and New York ave-
nue., and would apply to al
streets in those confines. The
section constitutes q large por-
tion Of the Trafic Departments
acongested zone l."
Concession to Transit.
Mr.. Keneipp's proposal Is Q
concession to demands Of the
Capital Transit Co. that park
inR be banned all day, mainly
on F, @ and Seventh streets
which are heaviiy-traveled
street car routes In the down
town section.
II is also q concession to
District truckers whose deliv-
cry operations are snarled by
the use Of curb space by pas
senger car parkers.
Along with the parking ban
extension idea. the traffic direc-
tor also recommended that dou-
BILE parking Of all vehicles be
prohibited all day In the down.
town section. This would apply
to the double parking Of COM
mercial vehicles at loading zones
as well. Mr.. Keneipp emphasized.
Commissioner Lane explained
that the theory behind the pro-
posal Is to allow truckers d.
longer period to make their
deliveries and to ease congestion
problems on those streets used
by Capital Transit vehicles so
that operations may be speeded.
G Street Congestion.
Col. Lane indicated he feels
greatest concern over traffic con-
gestion on q street between Sew
enth and Fifteenth.
In any event. ne said. he Is
interested in something less
drastic than Capital Transit,s
proposal for an all-day parking
bar. on r, q and Seventh streets
between, as well as during, the
morning and afternoon rush
periods.
The Thursday meeting win be
attended by officials Of the Dis
trict Trucking Association, who
reportedly favor the new pro-
posal: downtown merchants, who
oppose an alf-day parking ban
and who may object to any ex-
tension of the present parking
restrictions: Capital Transit Co..

A new policy of standby credit,

July and September, was an
,nounced today by Chairman WAL
ter w. McAllister. He said 1855 is
a record lending year for mem
bers.
The chairman explained: "Un-
der the new rules standby credit
gives a member institution the
privilege of borrowing from
the Federal Home Loan Bank
an amount equivalent to- S per
cent of its aggregate withdraw
able accounts, provided total adj
vances outstanding to any mem
Der do not exceed 10 per cent
of such accounts.
With this assurance of funds
available for advances, asso-
Citations can plan and make new
commitments more freely for
future lending. Should net saw
ings and loan repayments be in
adequate to meet loan demands.
associations with unused lines of
credit, subject to these limita-
lions, are eligible for credit. OF
course a member can always use
its full line of credit for advances
to met emergency Withdrawals"
