Public Housing AssoiIed
As 'SocioIistc' Spending

Public housing is throwing an
increasing burden on private
enterprise to provide shelter for
the INDECENT at the same time it
is siphoning off the better ten
ants into subsidized projects.
This is the gist of a complaint
by Frank T. Fuller, chairman of
the board of the Washington
Housing Corp, a private con-
Germ. The protest is aimed par
ticularly at the National Capital
Housing Authority.
Mr.. Fuller advanced a novel
suggestion: That public housing
be provided only for those on re-
lief as part of welfare work, and
that the settlements be in areas
removed from the cities.
He said the housing authority
Is building apartments at around
$4,000 per unit to rent for less
than $40 a month to families
whose incomes are as much as
$4,000 a year. This, he said, sis
socialistic in nature and destruc-
tive of private enterprise.
NCHA Director DiSagrees
James Ring, executive director
of NCHA, took issue with Mr..
Fuller's statements. Mr.. Fuller
gave the average annual income
Of tenants specifically as $2,837,
quoting figures applicable to the
East Capitol dwellings. Mr.. Ring
put the average at $3.50. =
Mr.. Ring also said the average
rental is SAB month, excluding
the wartime housing properties.
In some instances the tenants
pay additional for some utilities.
Mr.. Fuller cited the housing
authority's 1855 annual report
showing that the loss per unit
was $l5.47 a month. He also
pointed to the fact that the in
terest rate on long-term borrow
ing was 2l2 per cent. whereas
private builders have to pay pos
Sibly twice that rate. The pay
ment to the city in lieu of taxes
was $185.370. Mr.. Fuller said
that if taxes had been levied
on the basis of cost, less depre-
citation. the payment would have
been $778,340.
Tax Revenue Discussed
Mr.. Rings answer to the tax
statement was that if the au-
thority paid full taxes, then the
city would make no contribution
at all to the slum clearance
program. The authority's 1855
report states:
"On the representative group
of five properties (built) under
the Housing Act of 1887, the
authority has paid to the Dis
trict of Columbia in the past 10

Heilman hit 1893 that year.
He played in four World Series
three with the AS and one with
the Reds and had a 1923 average
for games in the classic.
He ended 26 years in the big
leagues when he resigned as
coach of the Cleveland Indians
in 1851 for reasons of health.
Voted Most Valuable
The AS outfielder was best
known to fans by his foot in
the bucket" swing. But his
awkward stance at the plate got
results and he was voted the
Leagues most valu-
able player in 1929.

Simmons developed into the

Of the great clutch hitters of the
game.
Only Four Topped Him
In 1852 the Associated Press
compiled figures on the best five
years of the great hitters OF
baseball, when all were supposed
TO be at their peak.
Only four men topped Sim
mons during their peak years,
Rogers Hornsby, Ty Cobb. George
5isler and Harry Heilmann.
Simmons hit .375 from 1927-1931
inclusive.
Simmons never was a lucky
player. He was bothered by leg
trouble and other injuries. In a
game in Washington in the early
1905 it looked for a moment as
though his career was ended, but
AL was too tough.
Down He Went
The AS and Senators were
playing and AL was on first. The
next batter grounded to second.
Simmons. who was forced, al
ways tried to make the pivot
man throw around him. giving
the batter a better chance of
beating the double-play throw.
The pivot man on this occa-
sion was Joe Cronin, who had a
rifle arm and no intention OF
throwing around Simmons or
anybody else. From a distance
of 10 or IL feet he fired the
ball-smack between Simmons
eyes.
AL went down in a heap as the
crowd gasped. But the trainer
threw some water on him, and
groggily got up and.
to the establishment Of all, re-
turned to his position.
Simmons spent two seasons in
Washington. 1887 and 1888, and
they were his last two as a regu-
lar player. He was in 103 games
the first year, hitting .279. The
next year he played in 125 games
and hit 1902.
on to a Bad Start
While with the Senators he
was involved in an incident that
proved again he was an unlucky
player. He had gotten off to a
horrible start and was hitting
in the midA200s and was pretty
unhappy about it. The team
moved into Boston for the first
time that spring and. since 1t
was pouring rain and there was
little possibility of a game the
next day, AL decided to let of
steam in a tavern opposite the
hotel.
AS the rain continued TO pour,
continued to pour ale
in the tavern. He went TO bed
