Chairman Stennis, Democrat
of Mississippi, said the marshy
swamp on the Anacostia side
of the river was an unsatisfac-
tory site. 1t is on the extreme
north end of the present Ana
costa Receiving Station.
The Navy should either find
more suitable location on
Government-owned land in
Washington or locate the new

said.
Impatient at IndecisiOn
"All Navy activities which do
not have to be located in the
Washington area should be
promptly relocated at existing,
available, unused space at other
Navy installations within the
United States" the Senate
Committee urged.
This sentiment reflected the
impatience of both Senators
and Representatives over the
Navy's indecision about the use
of several installations, includ-
ing the Naval Weapons Plant
in Washington.
Navy Secretary FRANKIE has
been barraged by letters and
kilograms this week from Con-
gressional members, including
area spokesmen, protesting a

that until the Navy can make
full use of existing plants, it
shouldn't build new ones.

The
Rambler
Learns the
ABCs of Housing
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


The Rambler is suffering
from billionitis.
This is an extreme state
of an ailment due to un-
digested figures.
Yesterday he called on
Norman P. Mason the hous-
ing administrator, in his of
flee on the sixth floor of the
Normandy Building - that's
the pink building at 1926 K
street NV, across from the
YWCA.
AS head of the FHA-"
this interviewer began his
first question, but Mr.. Mason,
a short, broad-shouldered
man in his early sixties with
an eaSygoing smile, inter-
rupted.
Il was head of FHA. I'm
now head of HHFA, the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency. That's an overall
agency, a sort of holding
company created in 1s47. You
might call the agencies hav-
ing to do with housing, slum
clearance and community
improvements its subsidi-
aries, except the housing
program for the GIs. That's
under VA, Veterans Admins
tration.
If you like, I would be
very glad to give you a run
down on our alphabet soup.
It's confusing not only to the
public but to our new en-
ployes.

"OUR OLDEST AND
largest unit is FHA, Federal
Housing Administration. It
had its beginning under
President Hoover. Do YOU
remember FHLB? No? That
was the Federal Home Loan
Bank.
Surely you remember
Hole, Home Owners Loan
Corp. That was created in
June, 1888, in the first
months of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration.
"FHA was set up under the
National Housing Act of
June, 1884. A man named
Winfield W. Riefler, who
had been an economist with
the Federal Reserve Board,
had come up with the idea
of the Government insuring
mortgages.
"FHA is probably the larg-
est insurance company in
the world. 1t has insured
mortgages totaling $50 bill
lion, and $50 billion are cur
rently outstanding.
You see, housing is big
business today. Twenty-three
billion was spent on home
construction last year. There
were 1ls million dwelling
units started. And although
VAS mortgage insurance is
almost as large as FHA's,
private financing is much
larger than the two COM
bined. Nine hundred thou
sand starts were privately
financed, and that's about
the same as the housing
starts in 1921 when there was
no Government aid to home
financing.
"FHA is in the Lafayette
Building at Vermont and L
still called the RFC Recon-
Struction Finance CorpD
Building. So is Fannie May.
That's what everyone calls
FNMA, Federal National
Mortgage Association. Fannie
May makes more money
available for housing by
buying mortgages. Since it's
creation in 1854 it has pur-
chased almost $40 billion in
mortgages and sold a little
over 50 billion.

Excess Planning Hit

Abernethy
Warns D. G. to
Speed Work
By JAMES G. DEANE
Star Staff Writer

officials today were advised
to come up with some propo-
sails for streamlining the Dis
trict's redevelopment program.
Representative Abernethy,
Democrat of Mississippi, told
redevelopment leaders that rs
per cent of the city's urban
renewal problems stem from
having too many planners"
If officials can't suggest i'm
proVements quickly, they may
have to accept a reVamping Of
the renewal law proposed by
Representative Rabaut, DEM
ocrat of Michigan, he warned.
Renewal leaders unanimously
have opposed the Rabaut
move.
The Mississippi legislator
criticized redevelopment prog
ress during a hearing before
a subcommittee of the House
District Committee.
Too Many Cooks
You've got too many peo-
pie stirring the soup" he told
William E. Finley, director of
the National Capital Planning
Commission, who was defend
ing the commissions redevel-
opment planning role.
A bill sponsored by Mr.. Ra-
baut now being considered by
the Abernethy unit would sever
the planning commission from
redevelopment, as we'll as re-
quire competitive bidding by
rcdeveloDers, more public hear
ings, 70 per cent completion of
the Southwest renewal Job be-
fore BEGINNING new projects
elsewhere, in addition to other
changes.
The planning official and
John R. Searles. jr., director of
the District Redcvelopment
Land Agency, said some pro-
posed amendments to the pres
ent law were submitted to the
District Commissioners in Feb
ruary.
Mr.. Finley Joined Mr.. Searles
and others in predicting the
Rabaut bill would seriously
hamper further city anti-slum
efforts.
The planning director blamed
failure of Congress to give the
commission enough staff and
funds until two years ago for
part of the slow Southwest re-
building pace.
Mr.. Seerles said the Rabaut
Dill, in effect, would stop the
renewal program. He called the
measure completely negative
IN approach" but admitted the
renewal program ought to be
speeded.
Dropping the Planning Com
mission from renewal planning
would be like removing the
Police Department from crime
prevention" he told the sub
committee.
Rebuff Charged
The Rabaut bill also was op-
posed by Spokesmen for the
Washington Housing Associa-
ton, District League of Women
voters, National Council of
Jewish Women and Community
Council of the Adams-Morgan
Project.
Miss Mary G. cavanagh of
Vincent House. 303 Eleventh
street S.W., complained that
Southwest residents have been
unable to get a hearing to pro-
test actions of the renewal
agencies. She charged that too
little had been done for people
displaced by the slum-clear-
ance program, some of them
homeowners.
A similar complaint was
made by Mrs. Cecil N. Broy
vice president of the American
Woman's Council. who urged
congressional action to safe
guard people against adminis-
trative abuses.

courts of the District to provide
lawyers for INDECENT defendants
in serious criminal cases.
That necessity" he said,
has created a problem of
enormous proportions and one
that is becoming increasingly
more serious. No funds are
available with which to pay
counsel or even to meet their
out-of-pocket expenses"
1900 a Year
The judge said some $500 ap-
pointmentS of attorneys for in
dlgents in criminal cases and
related juvenile and mental
health proceedings are made
each year. Between 300 and
1000 of these are felony cases
in District Court, and 4,500 to
5000 are in Municipal Court.
The appointment of these
attorneys" Judge Prettyman
said, lis necessarily on a more
or less haphaZard basis" He
added that lawyers appointed
to handle the cases have no
professional assistance in the
way of investigators or per-
sonnel trained to ascertain the
facts or the location of wit
nesSes."
Under the House bill. Con-
greSS would appropriate $4,000
to set up the agency. 1t would
be governed by a seven man
board of trustees. appointed by
the chief judges of the several
courts of the District and the
president of the Board of Com
The agency would consist of
a director and several attorneys
who would represent indigcnts.
The director could also engage
volunteer attorneys.
Join in Support
Judge Prettyman was Joined
in support of the House bill by
former Senator Burton K.
Wheeler. formerly of Montana
and now a resident of the Dis
trict, and Robert Kneipp, as
sistant corporation counsel Tor
the District. Mr.. Kneipp testi-
fed that the Commissioners
favor both the House and Sem
ate versions of the bill in
principle"
Those who were unable to
testify when the hearings were
suspended included Thomas M.
Raysor, president of the Legal
Aid Society,". which furnishes
legal aid to indigents in civil
matters only and is partially
supported by the United Givers
Fund.
