Senator Heating countered,
however.
He stressed that he had no

Builder Proposes
PIun for Housing
Displaced People
BY ALFRED ALIBRANDO
star stan Writer

Builder Albert Chaiken said
today he could-and would
build rental housing that fam
lilies displaced by Stun clear
ance could afford. If Federal
housing laws were changed.
Mr.. Chaiken is the builder of
Washington's first project for
those forced out of redevelop-
ment areas-the 94-unit Tren-
ton Park apartments at Mis-
sissippi avenue and Sixth street
Sc.
Local Federal Housing Ad-
ministration officials and Mr.
Chaiken yesterday acknowl-
edged not many such persons
will ever be housed in the prof.
ect because. the rents are toe
high and the apartments are
Tor white occupants only.
Changes Urged
Today Mr.. Chaiken said he
could build apartments that
would rent for about $50 per
month $3.50 less than the $76
basic rental at Trenton Park if:
Real estate taxes were not
charged during the mortgage
period.
Interest on rental relocation
housing projects was reduced
from S to 4 per cent.
The Federal National Mort
gage Association reduced or
eliminated it's financing charges
and one-half per cent discount
on such housing.
II could build housing that
displaced persons could afford, "
said Mr.. Chaiken, without any
subsidy, If the Federal housing
laws were more realistic.
The Virginia and Washing
ton builder said he would build
for both white and Negro fami-
lies displaced by slum clear
ance.
High Costs Cited
Thomas c. Barringer, head
of FHA's Washington Office,
said building costs are too high
and construction codes too
stringent for construction of
rental units that most of these
families can afford.
He said the first 300 units
authorized here under the
FHA's relocation program uses
up the quota for white oc-
cupancy. The remaining 1,10O
rental units will be for Negro
tenants, he said.
Mr.. Chaiken is scheduled tt
build 220 more relocation hous-
ing units in the Capitol Heights
area, and Baltimore Builders
Herman and Ben Cohen today
asked the District Board OF
Zoning Adjustments to permit
construction of a 500-unit four
story project at Wheeler road
and Valley avenue Sc. Zon-
ing regulations limit structures
to three stories within a 40
foot height.
Since neither of these prof.
ectS is specifically allocated for
Negro occupancy, the builders
will be permitted to set the
rental policy.
District urban renewal Off
Gals said the critical need here
is for Negro housing. They
pointed out that of the $50
families still to be relocated
from the Southwest slum clear
ance program. only % are
white. In the first proposed
Northwest urban renewal prof.
ect, 982 families will be dis
placed, About IS per cent are
Negroes.
