ends with the fiscal year start
ing July /, 1866.
While some notifications
have been made. the major diff
ferences from the public works
program announced last year
is that the 1866 estimates have
been added to the tail end Of
the program.
With this exception, there is
little new. The estimates for
the year starting next July /,
for example, are precisely the
same as those already made
public in department heads
requests for next years budget
now in preparation.
Public Given Voice
The value Of the program
however, is that it permits the
city to plan building of its new
facilities with some degree o1
coordination, to give some
gauge of future revenue re-
quirements and to give the
public a chance to have a voice
in the choice of municipal con-
struction projects.
A public hearing on the new
six-year projects will be helc
early in November, after which
the Commissioners will formally
approve the six-year project.

Rental Project
Probe Asked
Only One Displaced
Family Moves In
BY ALFRED ALIBRANDO
Star staff Writer

Star staff Writer
Only one family displaced
from the Southwest slum clear
ance area has moved into a
94-unit apartment in which
families relocated from such
areas were to have a priority,
the District Redevelopment
Land Agency said today.
The Washington Housing AS
sociation said it was deeply
dismayed at the failure"
of the first rental relocation
project here and asked for an
investigation by District Com
missioners. the RIA and the
Federal agencies involved.
The apartment development
is the Trenton Park Apart
ments at Mississippi avenue
and Sixth street Sc. 1t was
built under a Federal Housing
Administration program which
provides 100 per cent insured
loans to builders as an incen-
tive to construct rental housing
for low-middle income families
forced to move because Of pub
Lie works projects.
Displaced Have Priority
Under FILA regulations, per.
sons displaced by highways

ects. have a priority on rental
Of such units for go days after
they are ready for rental. This
period has expired for Tren-
ton Park apartments, which
was certified by the FILA az

James Banks, RIA relocation
chief, said only two familie!
had been sent to the project
He said a white family was ad-
mitted and a single Negro
woman turned down.
RIA officials said some week.
ago that the project would no
be much help to them in re-
locating Southwest familiei
because the rents were too higl
and because the builder. Alber
Chaiken, had notified the RLL
he would rent to white familie
only
The rental schedule was de-
Tended by FHA officials here
who said that it was impossible
to build apartments which
would rent for less under pres
ent construction costs and rigit
building codes.
Occupancy Rule Changed
FILA officials also pointe'
out that it issued a commit
ment to Mr.. Chaiken under tn
old quota system, when FIJI
allocated a specified number o
rental units for white person
and a number for minorit,
races. The FILA has sine
changed this policy and all re
location housing units must b
built for open occupancy"
In this statement today
Charles A. Horsky, president o
the Washington Housing Asso
citation, said he deplored a sit
uation in which "a housin
program, specifically intende'
by Congress to provide housin
for displaced persons wa
not serving the purpose TO
which it was intended.
Congress was PARTICULAR
generous in inSuring sectiol
22l housing because the pro
gram was designed for the pur
pose of housing displaced per

"The result Of the white
only policy is that tn
program fails to meet the OBJ
jective for which it was in
tended" add Mr.. Horsky.

Mrs. E. B., of Mobile. Ala,

BELIEVE the greater In
cidence of coronary thrombo-
sis in men is the chief cause.
For example, under the age
of 40 it is over 20 times more
common in the male: In the
40's 1t is five or six times
more common: in the SOS
the ratio is about two to one.
The incidence doesn't even
up until the SOS.
1t is for this reason, I
think, that the average age
expectancy of the female is
70 years; and that of her
husband only 81 years.
You might call coronary
disease the leading cause Of
"widowhood and loneliness"
When we discover the cause

How to
STOP KILLING

What Is Cause of Chest Pain?
BY Or. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Mr.. U. B.. Of Chicago. ILL.,,
is concerned about his father
who is In his COS and has the
symptoms Of coronary trou-
BILE. He has pain in his chest
and down his arm. Otherwise
he seems well.
Our doctor has given him
a complete workup and says
he doesn't have heart trou-
ble," Mr.. U. B. writes. *
rays, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
physical examinations are
negative.
"One thing he hasn't done
yet is take X-rays Of the gall
bladder, stomach and intes-
tines. In fact he has sug-
gested my father have this
done. What do you Think"
A PERSON CAN have a
negative electrocardiogram
and still have coronary dis
ease. We make the diagnosis
by carefully evaluating all
other findings: History. ply
steal examination. etc.
Nevertheless. 1t Is also true
that the negative cardiac ex-
animation means just that:
No heart disease. AS in your
dads case. normal findings
in the presence of chest pain,
may cause a lot of frustra-
ton.
Therefore. I suggest you go

/ wouldn't mind If Edna
said she Just doesn't want to
work. She wants to be a
housewife. But it happens
that she works very hard in
a job that doesn't pay her
as much as the business
would.
She takes this job very seri-
ously although there is no flu

ever did. He gives no consid-
Grafton to hours. holidays or

that would allow him to take
things easier and would &C
tually boost business. but he
won't even listen to me.
Now that I'm about to be
married he suddenly foists
all this on me.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Edna, like many other
young people, appears willing
to accept the position Of be-
ginner in the employ Of a
stranger. but when it comes
to Dads business. she'd like
to start on the policy-making
level.
1t is natural and human,
perhaps, but it does compli-
cate matters 1t might make
things a bit easier If both
would recognize that the
young person lust beginning
life as an adult is terribly
anxious to prove himself. Any
parental criticism at this
stage is likely to be inter-
preted as a statement that he
will never make the grade
1t is, therefore. a good idea
for that Young person to get
away from the teaching
scolding parent for a while
In Edna's case. things
seem to be complicated by
the fact that she is also
about to start life in her
womanly role With marriage
lust ahead it is possible that
she resents the fact that her
father appears to expect her
to take the place usually
reserved for a son. At the
same time her sharp criti-
cism OF her fathers business
methods suggests that she
has long sought this role.
1t might help II Mr. N. P
agreed to ease Edna into the
business by employing her as
he would an outsider He
should respect her hours and
holidays but she must re-
member that she Is lust an
employe, not the boss.
