Public HOUSING
Punched for Sites

A new warning of a shortage
of District sites for public hous-
ing projects has been voiced by
James Ring, executive director
of the National Capital Housing
Authority.
In the year end report to the
Districts Office of Urban Rem
newal. Mr.. Ring warned also
that the NCHA faces the posi-
bility that the Federal Public
Housing Administration might
cancel an authorization to build
$500 units of public housing
unless NCHA can submit sites
approved by the District Com
missioners and the National
Capital Planning Commission.
The report urged all District
agencies to give serious atten-
ton to assisting the authority in
finding suitable sites" for con-
struction of housing to accom-
modate large families in low in
come brackets.
Mr. Ring pointed out that
NCHA had abandoned consid-
Grafton of constructing 150-
family housing project on Flor
ida avenue because cost of pur-
chasing the site would be so
high as to force the authority
into building at undesirably high
density, to counterfeit the site
cost"

Legislation introduced in the
House by two members.
The bills sponsored by Rep
Iresentatives O'Brien, Democrat
of New York, and Matthews,
Democrat of Florida, are inden-
Itical to a bill which passed the
House last July but failed final
enactment.
Request for the legislation
arose last year in the State
Education Department at Albany,
NJ Y, which wanted the gun
Imountings and carriages for use
on several historic sites.
Inquiry disclosed that the re-
formatory could make and sell
such materials only to the
Federal and District governments
So the O'Brien bill was intro
duced last year to make 1t pos
sible for any State to buy such
things from the District.
Mr.. Matthews recently was as
signed to the House District
Committee.

with their mutual problems
those related to shipping by rail
The board does not consider a
complaint by a member until
the railroad concerned has had
la chance to look into it and re-
port back. The board acts only
when the railroad fails to correct
the bottleneck to the members
satisfaction.
If a Washington shipper, for
instance, complains to the Allan
tic States Advisory Board that
/ it takes IL days to get an order
from New York filled. whereas
it should take only five, the board
refers the question to the rail-
road. If the railroad is able to
tell the shipper the delay has
been reduced to, say, seven days
and the shipper is satisfied. the
board takes no action. If, on the
other hand, the shipper thinks
seven days is still too slow, the
board will look into the matter.
Action Seldom Needed
But board action is seldom
necessary. A Syracuse IN. "
iron and steel fabricating con-
Germ, for example, complained at
IA meeting of the Atlantic States
board last year that shipments
from a town in Pennsylvania
were taking six days longer than
formerly. The board turned the
matter over to the railroad in
|volved. and within a month
Service was back to normal.
Another function of the re-
Igional boards is preparing quar-
Iterly forecasts of how many
railroad cars will be needed by
shippers during the next three
months. Begun in 1927, these
predictions are used by the rail-
roads in allocating cars.
These quarterly forecasts have
Ichalked up an impressive record
of accuracy. Their box score for
90 years is an overestimate of
only 3.3 per cent above the num-
Der of cars that have actually
been needed. Board members
also believe their forecasts are a
dependable barometer of business
conditions in general.

Pepco Applies to Invest
In A-PIont Experiment

The Potomac Electric Power
ICo. has requested permission to
invest at least 100000 during
the next five years in an expert
mental atomic power generating
plant at Lagoona Beach. Mich.
The application was filed with
the District Public Utilities Com
mission and the Virginia State
Corporation Commission.
The investment would be in
1.-THE Tower Reactor Development
Co., which on Tuesday appeared
before an Atomic Energy Com
mission examiner here to argue
1.-THE safety Of its $43.5 million
generating plant in the vicinity
Iof Detroit.
Plutonium Producer
The project is known as q
breeder" reactor because. beside
steam for generating electric
Ipower. it produces more of the
atomic Observation-Disclosures
it consumes in the generating
process.
Pepco's application to the two
utility regulatory bodies seeks
approval of an obligation to pay
the reactor development COM
pany 100000 a year for five
years. Authorization also is
sought for Pepco to guarantee an
additional $480,000 in loans to
the experimental generatin G
plant.
The Virginia secs approval
was sought because Pepco has
one of its main generating plants
in Alexandria and also serves a
small portion of Arlington Coun-
lty. It serves larger portions of
Maryland but the Free States

Railroads did not always have
enough cars in service when
they were needed, and shippers
were prone to order more cars
than they needed.
The American Railway ASSo-
citation Qater merged into the
Association of American Rail-
Iroads) decided to do something
about it. A group of shippers
and railroad representatives met
in Minneapolis in January, 1923
and two months later the North
west Shippers Advisory Boarc
formally was organized.
Idea Swept Country
The movement spread rapidly
and by November, 1926, all /;
regional groups had been formed
covering the entire country.
On February 16, 1887, the Ma.
tional Association of Shippers
Advisory Boards was established
to handle problems of national
scope and make recommends
tions to the regional groups.
Today the total membership oil
the Is boards stands at 26.500
They meet three or four times
a year, with a meeting of the
national board once a year.
Railroad representatives at
tend all meetings and participate
in discussions but are not voting
members of the boards. Each
regional board co-operates with
a committee of representatives
from each railroad operating in
the area.
The Atlantic States board
serves the District, Delaware ano
New Jersey, and parts of Mary
land, Virginia, Pennsylvania and
New York. 1t has 3,400 members
Handle Mutual Problems
All the boards have one aim
better service-and there are nc
restrictions on what problems
they may consider, with the ex-
ception of rates. However, the
railroads and shippers do not try
to fight each others outside
battles. They are concerned only
