Death Finally Revokes
DC. Speeder's License

Time finally ran out yester-
tday for William A. Brown.
When the end came. it came
fast-somewhere between 80
and 100 miles an hour.
The crash that killed him
when his car smacked into a
tree at Westmoreland circle
NV. was the elimination of
four years of almost continu-
Gus brushes with District traffic
laws. Twice his drivers license
was revoked. and twice he got
it back after attending traffic
school and graduating with
straight AS.
His troubles began in Sep
TENDER, 1852. when he forfeited
$40 for a speed violation. An
other ticket for speeding cost
SIS three months later.
BY April. 1858. Mr.. Brown
1ad accumulated too many
points against his record. and
his drivers license was revoked
He got it back the following
June after completing traffic
school with a grade of 100.
After two years without q
traffic violation. Mr.. Brown
was fined $40 for speeding
again in March. 1855. Later
the same month. a drunk
driving conviction suspended
his permit for three months.
The permit was revoked
again in May. 1855. 1t was
restored a second time in July,
1856. In the interim. Mr..

million and to the Public
Housing Administration for
$3.l million. he said. Mr.. Ring
said he failed to see the point
of the builders inaccurate
statement.
In answer to q charge that
public management costs of
1872 per cent of rents scared
above rates Of 5 per cent for
private units. Mr.. Ring said
the private rate failed to cover
many essential services" of
public housing.
These services include checks
to make sure tenants are ELI
gible because of low incomes
or housing needs, instruction
and rehabilitation of tenants,
dwelling inspections and COM
munity programs, he said.
THE services are essential
to carry out the intent of the
law" Mr.. Ring said. They
constitute public service in adj
dition to the normal manage
ment services of rent collection
and maintenance"
Home builders also criticized
the low number of public well
fare tenants in public housing
-457 out of 1876 tenants on
June 10, 1856. they reported.
Calls Statement untrue"
Mr.. Ring insisted that Con-
gress had not intended in
housing laws to use public
units primarily for families re-
ceiving public assistance. The
builders statement that NCHA
limits its relief families to Is
per cent of full capacity is
absolutely untrue" Mr.. Ring
added.
THE author of the study APP
parently assumes he can iden-
tify families whom public hous-
ing is instructed to serve more
accurately than Congresses
which enacted the legislation. A."
Mr.. Ring asserted.
Eligibility is fixed by family
incomes, the number Of de-
pendentS and veterans, under
a formula, fixed by law. Mr..
Ring said the NCHA had 512
relief families or 10 per cent
of the total number Of ten
ants on June 80. 1857.
The housing director said
builders conclusions that ten
ants often stayed 10 years in
public housing we're faulty in
the extreme" Those who re-
main Tor long periods are ell
derby couples. living on PEN
sions; persons from broken
families. supported by alimony;
or heads of families who can't
work. These categorieS are
fixed by law, Mr.. Ring noted,
suggesting that here again the
builders we're quarelling with
the law. rather than the NCHA
administration.
Mr.. Ring defended rising
costs of public housing con-
struction by pointing out that
private building costs had gone
up. too. He scored builders for
trying to relate his manage
ment costs to development
costs. saying. The fact is,
there is no relation"

properties having the same
value as the projects of the
Authority" Mr.. Ring said
This projects the argument in
to the realm of fantasy"
Exemption Challenged
Although he did not substi-
tute a cost estimate for the
housing projects, Mr.. Ring said
builders calculations were of
because they applied interest to
a questionable total of tax
exemption" This is indefensi-
BILE. he maintained. He said
the only result of this statisti-
Cal abracadabra is to produce
large, empty figures"
Costs for the 1894 units are
not based on facts and figures
but on subjective Argument
and distorted statistics" Mr.
Ring declared.
1.-THE paragraph simply re-
fleets a projection of completed
housing properties and projects
still on the drawing boards OF
the private architects engaged
by the authority" he said. THE
natural result is a larger, il
emptier. dollar amount"
His records show that an
annual Federal contribution
making up the difference be-
tween costs and rentals, has
amounted to about 81 million a
year for the last three years
for all public housing here.
Mr.. Ring found inconsistent
and puzzling" the limit OF
builders cost figures to years
between 194l and 1856. Builders
said NCHA figures were avail
able for these years. NCHA
figures are available each year
in every annual report, Mr.
Ring declared.
Denies Price Tag
He fatty denied a price tag
of 81 million put by builders
on the 1889 units studied.
Development cost was $6.8 mil
lion, financed by selling bonds
to private investors for $3.7

major argument was with the
housing law. not the admins
tration Of it. Mr.. Ring in
sisted. On administrative mat
tiers, the builders arrived at
conclusions before finding out
facts. Mr.. Ring said. and then
justified those conclusions with
statistical contortions."
His REPUTATION was requested by
the commissioners after Frank
Calcara, association president,
demanded a probe of Mr.. Rings
ONCE on the basis of a builders
study Of housing costs here.
The Commissioners have not
indicated whether they will
make the investigation.
Attack Unit Cost
The Home Builders concen-
trated their fire on what they
claimed the public had paid fol
1889 public housing units in
five projects authorized under
q 1887 act. Federal subsidies
and District tax contributions
on these units amounted to So g
million from l941 to 1856, Mr.
Calcara charged.
For 1924 units authorized
under 1919 and 1854 acts, he
maintained. 15-year Federal
contributions and District taE
exemptions would run up to
$45 million.
Mr.. Ring said reasoning OF
the author of the study became
impossible to follow on these
figures.
District tax exemption is a
waiver required by law, he
noted, offset in part by the
Authority's payments in lieu of
taxes.
Fixing the cost of the tax
exemption assumes that pri-
vate enterprise would have
cleared slums from three of the
project sites and put into pro-
ductive use the other two neg
lected vacant areas-and then
would have paid full taxes on

lines in yesterdays opening
round, but most of the GA
losers were club professionals
whose game wasn't sharp
enough to cope with the tour
ing troupe.
| The preliminary firing saw
such oddities as Snead, three
time champion, giving a hole
away on a self imposed penalty
and still carding a 6-under-par
IS; another player hitting the
BAH twice on a single putting
stroke to lose a hole and the
match. and 58-year-old AL
Watrous, national PGA Seniors
champion, defeating an oppo-
nent in four extra holes for the
dubious privilege Of meeting
Snead today.
Snead was the one everyone
was watching. and his 4-and-
2 win over 29-year-old John
Serafin of Pittston, Pa, en-
CHANGED his rating as favorite
to take it all. The West Vir-
ginian opened with a 35-foot
eagle putt. and picked up four
brides along the way. On the
18th hole. while chatting with
the official scorer, he picked
his ball from the green to clean
it-only to realize too late that
you can't do that in match
play. He conceded Serafin a
winning birdie.
Loses Through Penalty
Ted Sleichter, 39-year-old
Gettysburg. Pa. pro who gives
lessons to President Eisen-
hower's grandchildren, Barbara
and David, lost a one-down
match to young Dow Finster-
wald OF Athens. Ohio, and Te-
questa, Fla, on another penalty.
His tee shot remained imbed-
ded in the green on the TO-
yard 18th hole, while the match
was all square.
AS he putted, the ball popped
from the hole and came down
on top Of the putter blade.
