step Of their no-show control
plan Sunday by requiring re-
confirmation of reservations
six hours before departure.
Failure to reconfirm will can
eel the reservations.
The plan is aimed at reduc-
ing the number of no-shows-
people who make reservations
and. later change their plans
but do not cancel their reser-
vations and fail to show up at
flight time-thereby making
available to others seats which
would otherwise be unoccupied.
With one exception. the re-
confirmation rule will apply
when the passenger makes an
overnight stop. When the pas
senger travels from one city to
another, whether by air or by
other means. and stays over
night or longer, he must re-

Public HOUSING
Priorities' Hit

The Home Builders Associa-
ton today protested that the
District Commissioners were
giving. "priorities" to public
housing over free enterprise
builders and asked for an over
haul of the National Capital
Housing Authority.
In a letter to the Commits
sioners. James w. Pearson, ex-
ecutive vice president, request
ed a meeting with the gov
eminent heads to point out
the necessity of overhauling
the public housing machinery"
Mr.. Pearson enclosed a re-
port of a 15-year study the
association made Of NCHA's
operation of public housing
units, purporting to show the
system has cost taxpayers mil
lions of dollars without bene-
fitting low-income families.
Raps Morton Street Project
I'VE deplore the fact that
you approved a 174-unit public
housing development in the
Morton Street Northwest area,
Mr.. Pearson wrote.
I'VE are also amazed that
you approve of this new slant
which the National Capital
Housing Authority is now
emphasizing by placing public
housing units in small groups
throughout the Metropolitan
Area.
"By following this concept
the city of Washington will be
dotted with unattractive public
housing units which will de-
stroy property values in or n0ar
one of these projects"
Representing the association
as "the voice Of the residential
building industry in this area, "
Mr.. Pearson said excessive

subsidies and substantial local
tax contributions calls for a

Meeting Unsettled
No date has yet been an
nounced for a meeting Of the
subcommittee to recommend
action on a bill introduced by
Senator Dirksen, Republican Of
Illinois, to make the Federally-
owned Dalecarlia property
available for the hospital.
Senator Morse said that
"what worries me about this
blue print (for water plant ex-
pansion) is that you are goine
to put q comparatively small
plant there at best for a city
which is going to have more
than 3 million people in the
area in the foreseeable future.
Commissioner David Kar-
rick wanted to know why the
District must supply water for
the Metropolitan Area instead
of limiting itself to the city.

Senator Morse.
