and prosperous future for Washington this
week at sessions Of the Washington Real Estate Boards fourth
annual convention.

speaker but rather stirring symphony OVERLOOKING optimism
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-31

vice that Mr.. Delmar used Is
the grouping Of rooms that use
plumbing. Both baths, the
utility room for furnace, water
heater and laundry and the
kitchen are all In line at the
front Of the house.
The flagstone foyer Of the
front entrance separates the
kitchen and utility room, but
this is the only area, possibly
8 feet in width, where expen-
sive piping must be run under
a space in which it will not be
used.
Grouping these rooms at the
front Of the house led naturally
to a design feature that Mr..
Delmar likes. All three bed
rooms. the living room and the
family room open on the rear
yard which takes up about two
thirds of the half-acre lot.
This gives the rooms privacy
from passing street traffic and
orients the living areas to the
south and the most disable
space for outdoor living. The
yard is shaded by large oaks.
poplars and gum trees and
decorated by a sprinkling of
dogwoodS.

family room-separated by a

Architect Designs, Builds Home
At Cost of only So q Square Foot

Can you build a house for So
q square foot and still have
such amenities as two full
baths. a fireplace in two rooms
and q glass-walled living area2
The answer is a qualified yes.
It has been done here in the
Arcola area Of Silver Spring.
That it is no economy DWELL
ing" should be obvious from
the pictures that appear on
this page.
The qualification is that it
was designed by a young Silver
Spring architect for his own
home and that he served as his
own contractor. He is Eugene
A. Delmar, and the home is at
2104 Hermitage avenue.
Mr.. Delmar. using no mys-
FERROUS materials ORE technioues.
designed money-saving fea-
lures into his home virtually
from the foundations to the
ridge of the roof.
He has. for example. "cathe-
dral" ceilings throughout the
house. The roof consists of
three large beams that run the
length of the house and the
rafters connecting them. The
ceiling is plastered and the roof
is insulated with blanket-type
aluminum-surf material.
JOists Eliminated
This type of roof construc-
ton is quite workable when
properly vented between each
rafter in the four-foot over
hang that surrounds the house,
the architect states. Its big
gest cost-saving feature is the
elimination of ceiling joists
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-31

feet Of roof including the
porch, 4-foot overhang and the
carport at the front.
The cost Of the house, ex-
Guiding land and financing set
Element costs, was $4,000,
That works out to just about
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-05-31

that would be required by con-
ventional fiat ceilings. Con-
ventional roof and ceiling con-
struction would have cost half
again as much, Mr.. Delmar
estimates.
Down near the foundation is
another coSt-saving feature.
The entire crawl space below
the house serves as a heat
plenum. The furnace blows
hot air down into the crawl
space, which has a plastic
moisture barrier covering the
bare ground. Vents at the
perimeters of the floor let the
heat rise into the living areas
above.
A dropped ceiling in the
hallway that connects the liv-
ing and sleeping areas Of the
house has vents into each room
and the living area and returns
cool air to the furnace.
Summer Ventilation
Here the cost saving is in
the almost complete elimina-
ton of duct work. A second
advantage is that the warm
air in the crawl space prevents
cold floors. Mr.. Delmar says
there is little heat loss from
this system because the warm
air that remains in the crawl
space when the furnace shuts
of tends naturally to rise
through the vents and the
floors.
The crawl space has grids in
the side walls of the house
that may be opened in the
summer to ventilate the area.

volving the many political ju-
risdictions" is probably the
most important Job facing the
entire community today.
Mr.. Remon, whose address
was read in his absence by Ed

Washington board. said the

ments in Southwest Washing
ton alone will total SIS million.
a third of which will be in Dis
trict : financed improvements
and two-thirds represented by
a Federal grant.
Land Marketing Problem
The next step in urban rede-
velopment involving the private
real estate industry. Mr.. Remon
said, is in the marketing of
cleared land to be reused in
accordance with the redevelop-
ment plan.
This marketing is turning
out to be our toughest prob
lem." he said.
The agsncy's chairman said
a new plan will be put into
effect within the next few weeks
in an effort to enlist q greater
number Of private individuals
in the redevelopment program.
He said an 80-acre area in
Southwest Project Area c be-
tween M street and Fort Nc
Nair would be divided into
smaller parcels for marketing
purposes.
1--WE will have three apart
ment house sites on which an
apartment house of 235 units
each may be constructed" he
said. 'The row-house areas may
be broken into as many as ten
pieces on which the plan may
specify that somewhere between
Is and 200 row houses may be
built.
In this area, we shall en-
courage home ownership either
individually in the row-houses
or comparatively in the apart
ments. With small down-pay-
mentS, people can secure an
interest in their dwellings,
which I believe will pay divi-
dends in citizenship and better
Ineighborhoods."

ana good fortune Tor the Ma
tons Capital and its surround
ing suburbs.
Two of the major expressions
epitomizing the cheerful outlook
came from Philip M. Talbot,
chairman of the board. United
States Chamber of Commerce,
and from John A. Remon,
chairman Of the District Re-
development Land Agency.
Magnificent Outlook"
Mr.. Talbot. senior vice presi-
dent Of Woodward a. Lothrop,
foresaw not only an economic
boom to Guido all booms" in
the country as a whole, but a
magnificent outlook for long
range growth in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area itself.
Mr.. Remon, in an analysis
of urban redevelopment prog
ress now underway. indicated
the program would play a major
economic role and help to bring
about an almost miraculous
transformation in the physical
aspects Of the city itself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Remon still are
confined to the Hagerstown
MD hospital where they are
recuperating from injuries re-
ceived in an automobile acct
dent several days ago while they
were driving here for the realty
sessions.
Labelling WASHINGTON a

ing" area. Mr.. Talbot said
that Congress nevertheless must
adopt measures to provide
financial support to the extent
necessary to make the District
q modern, attractive and eff
cient city that meets the re-
quirements Of a national
capital.
"The adoption of such a
policy and its yearly imple-
mentatiofl by adequate appro-
'priations is. in my Judgment.
the most basic and critical need
of the District in preparing it
self for the future growth of
this entire community" Mr..
Talbot said.
For the Greater Washington
area, he added, finding a solu-
ton to problems arising from

used by Mr.. Delmar was to do
his own painting.
To get down to facts and
figures this was the cost situa-
ton. The house has 1.700 feet
of inclosed floor space. There
are, incidentally. $500 square

Girl Offenders
Get Newton
Pioneer FuciIity
To Open Here
By MIRIAM GUTENBERG

6t1f stan WflteI
The District is getting ready
to open the first facility Of its
kind in the country for young
women at the halfway point
between Juvenile delinquency
and an adult career of crime.
The new facility on the
grounds Of the Reformatory
for Women at Lorton. Va, will
give young women offenders
the same opportunity now Of
fered young male offenders to
straighten out in an atmos-
phere free from hardened
criminals.
Boys in the same age group
Ia to 22-are being COM
mitted under the Federal
Youth Corrections Act. the
Federal program for the treat
ment and training of youthful
offenders. While waiting for a
300-inmate institution to be
built here, these boys are going
to the Federal youth institu-
ton at Ashland, Ky.
Facilities Inadequate
There is no similar institution
here or anywhere in the coun-
try for girls committed under
the Federal Youth Corrections
Act. Some girls have been sent
to Anderson, w. Va, but the
facilities for them are not COM
pletely separate from the older
women.
The unit at Lorton, built by
prison labor and isolated from
facilities for the older women,
will be furnished and ready for
occupancy by 20 girls in mid
July.
Before girls can be commit
ted there. however. it must be
declared a suitable facility by
the Attorney General. That
means 1t must be able to pro-
vide the concentrated combina-
ton Of counSeling and training
to prepare the young women for
a crime-free life in the COM
munity.
District Corrections Director
Donald Clemmer put in his bid
for this approval Friday with
a detailed letter to James v
Bennett. director Of the Federal
Bureau Of Prisons, inviting Mr.
Bennett and the Federal Youth
Board to inspect the new fac
ility and interview the staff.

Senate passage Of the bill
to regulate private employe
pension funds early this week
virtually was assured yesterday
when the Senate agreed to
limit debate, starting tomor-
row.
A rare Saturday session pro-
duced only one vote. on which
Republican Leader Knowland
Of California suffered another
defeat in his drive to expand
the pension measure into a
comprehensive labor reform
bill.
Four other Knowland amend
ments had gone down to defeat
Friday.
The latest rejected amend
ment sought to provide that
when a union becomes the
bargaining agent for all the
workers in a bargaining unit,
1t must admit all employees as
members on an equal basis. 1t
would have prevented any class
system of membership. or any
discrimination based on race.

feated SO to %. On this test
