emphatically.

from his home at Rutherfordton

There was great difference
between the two bills (those of
the House and Senate), and
there was not a whole lot of at

The test we'll was being dug by
his uncle in Glen Burnie Heights
at the edge of this suburb about
nine miles south of Baltimore.
Mrs. Clifton Case, an aunt,
saw George go feet first into
the hole.
She was in the house at the
time and screamed for her hus-
band. who was working in an
other part of the yard.
Mr.. Case jumped into the hole
as the sides collapsed. He saw
the little boy at first but could
not reach him.
Police pulled Mr.. Case out but
a large side section fell in on
top of George as his uncle was
freed.
Rescue workers drove a pipe
into the dirt at the bottom and

Clearing toStart
For S.W. Area
Public Housing
Five-Block Area
Will Be Ruzed for
456-Unit Project

The National Capital Housing
Authority will take steps imme-
diately to clear a flve-block
Southwest slum area to make
way for a new 456-dwelling pub
lie housing project, James Ring.
NCHA director, said yesterday.
The project, backed by city
officials, has just been given the
green light by Public Housing
Administration approval of plans
and cost estimates, Mr.. Ring an
nounced.
First steps will be to find new
homes for the 261 families now
living in the slum area and to
begin acquiring properties there.
The five-block area is in two
sections-a three-block triangle
extending from I to M streets
S.W. and from Third street to
Delaware avenue, and two
block area bounded by Delaware
avenue, M. N and Canal streets.
Will Cost Sc Million.
At a cost of more than $6 mil
lion. the new project will be just
south of the 76-acre Area B. the
city's pilot slum clearance and
redevelopment project.
The new public housing dwell
ingS, in fact, fits in closely with
redevelopment projects. since
they will provide homes for some
families displaced by redevelop-
ment.
In addition to new NCHA
projects in Southwest and South
east Washington. the agency has
asked Federal housing officials
to approve construction of 1,500
more public housing units to
meet rehousing needs Of families
to be displaced in the opening
phases" of proposed city-wide
urban renewal programs.
The new Housing Act Of 1854,
setting up funds for urban re-
newal. provides that public hous-
ing units give priority to low
income families displaced by tho
renewal programs. As Of now.
Mr.. Ring said, his agency has Q
/. waiting list of about 5000 FAM
lilies.
32O Dwelling Units.
The NCHA's new southwest
project calls for 800 dwelling
units in apartment buildings and
1856 in one-family row houses. It
also calls for a community
building, located at Delaware
avenue and N street S.W.
The 261 families now living
on the site occupy 210 structures.
most Of them substandard, Mr..
Ring said. A preliminary study.
he said, shows that 1853 of the
families qualify by reason of low
incomes for public housing.
Staff workers tomorrow will
begin a more detailed study.
Residents eligible will be placed
in NCHA projects elsewhere.
Those ineligible by reason of
higher incomes will be referred
to the District Redevelopment
Land Agency for assistance in
finding private housing.
Two previous slum clearance
projects have been conducted by
the NCHA in southwest Wash
ington.
In 1888. the agency built 16
houses known as Jefferson Ter
race, in the 600 block of K street,
replacing a number of dilapi-
dated houses and shacks. In
1910. it cleared three blocks Of
slumS south of M street between
Half and Canal streets. and built
the existing 279-unit James
Creek Dwelling project.
