ing.
Representative Multer, Demo-

House Banking and Currency
Committee, which is conducting
hearings on President Eisen-
hower's public housing program.
told the oath annual meeting Of

of false propaganda" The

Mr.. Multer said the false
argume ent" spokesmen for
NAREB and the United States
Chamber make me boil over"
He accused them of taking Q
negative approach to the prob
lem of providing adequate hous-
ing for lower and middle income
families.

ser of the Public Housing Ad-
ministration also criticized the

tate Boards in its stand on pub

ference yesterday. He said:
IT am a little fed up with
current campaign to
cast local housing authorities in
the roles of villains, leeches on
the body polite and enemies Of
the American way of life"
He declared that .NAREB
spokesmen before Congressional
committees abused statistics
and fact in dealing with low
rent public housing"

Ramsey, jr.. a member of the

Association of Baltimore; Frank

House Hearings
Set on Federal
Offices in S.W.
Bill Voted by Senate
Coils for Ruzing Of
Eyesore Tempos

The House Public Works Com
mittee will open hearings Tues
day on Senate-approved legisla-
ton to permit new Federal Office
buildings in the Southwest
Washington redevelopment area
The Senate passed the measure
late yesterday by voice vote. with
virtually no discussion:
A key feature of the bill is
that, for each new office build
ing put up. an equivalent volume
of existing eyesore tempos -
based on employe occupancy -
would be razed.
It would amend the existing
Federal lease-purchase act to
permit the Government to enter
long-term rental contracts with
private investors who put up the
buildings. At the end of the
rental periods, the buildings
would revert to United States
ownership, but would be fully
taxable during the rental terms
Space Not Specified
Unlike the Nationwide lease
purchase legislation, the Gen.
eral Services Administration
would be permitted to negotiate
contracts with private investors
for the Southwest buildings. This
provision was urged by William
Zeckendorf, the New York rea
estate man who wants to han.
die the Southwest building job.
The. Senate-passed measure
did not specify the amount oi
Office space contemplated in the
Southwest. This, in fact. viii
have to be spelled out as part
of the official Southwest rede.
velopment plan the city will have
to adopt.
AS a preliminary estimate
however, Zeckendorf officials art
thinking in terms of Office space
for between 5000 and 10,00(
Federal employees. This would b'
entirely exclusive Of the number
in the event the Central Intel
ligence Agency should decide tt
locate its proposed $38 million
10,000-employe head quart er'
building somewhere in thu
Southwest.
The 5000 to 10,000-employe
Federal space would represent ar
investment of about $40 million
The total redevelopment program
is expected to amount to about
$3.50 million, of which most
would be private money.
Case Cites Figures
These figures were cited today
by Senator Case, Republican, o1
South Dakota, who spoke ir
favor of the bill after it was
called to the Senate floor by
Majority Leader Lyndon john
son.
Both Senators johnson ano
Case referred to the negotiated
contract provisions and assured
the Senate the contracts would
be handled "in fish bowl" fol
all to see. e
The negotiated-contract pro-
posal created a hassle during
Senate hearings. GSA officials al
first opposed them strongly ir
favor of competitive bidding, but
administration officials tossed
the decision squarely to Congress
The House committee, mean
while, has set aside two days fol
the legislation next week
Spokesman for GSA, the District
the National Capital Planning
Commission, the Redevelopment
Land Agency and Mr.. Zeckendori
are expected to testify,

CAMERA ANGLES
Suns Shadows Lifted
By Use of RefIectors

Such a surface will reflect q
brilliant light that is ideal for
filling in large areas. The
outer side should be coated
with aluminium paint. This
will provide softer lighting ef-
fectS for closeups and me-
dium shots. Incidentally, be-
fore applying either foil or
paint be sure to prime the
wood surfaces with q couple
,of coats of shellac.
Softening the Reflection
It may be that, on occa-
sion. the light from the re-
flector will need to be soft
ened somewhat. This can be
done by draping a fitted length
Of cheesecloth over the sur
face. If it is found that too
much blue reflection is COM
ing from the sky for color
film. cover the reflector with
a sheet of yellow acetate or
substitute gold foil for the
silver or aluminium.
If caught in a situation
without a reflector you can
often use a homemade SUBJ
stitute. A bedsheet or pillow
case can be held to serve as a
reflector. A newspaper. held
by the subject will also make
an acceptable substitute in
some instances. At the beach,
if the subject is seated, the
sand will act as a good reflec-
tor. Nearby water is effective
too. But the best answer lies
in a good reflector. Once you
try one you will never be with
out it when taking pictures in
the sunlight,
