Public Housing
Sites 0Kd by
District Chiefs
Trocts Approved
Despite Opposition
At Recent Hearing
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

The District Commissioners
today approved five sites for
public housing which had been
vigorously opposed at a recent
public hearing.
The opponents had contended
that construction Of public
housing in their neighborhoods
would depress property values,
overtax schools and drive more
families to the suburbs.
However, John Croker, ex-
ecutive assistant in the District
Urban Renewal Office, told the
Commissioners that past ex-
perience does not support the
claim that public housing ad-
versely affects nearby private
property"
Mr.. Croker said some Of the
Districts public housing build
ings have won prizes for archi-
lecture and design. He added
that at least one private build
er in Washington deliberately
seeks to acquire areas around
public housing sites for his own
developments.
Facilities Checked
Mr.. Crocker also said that
before public housing sites are
recommended a check is made
with the School Board and
other city agencies to make
certain that public facilities
will not be overtaxed by the
addition of public housing in
the neighborhood.
Commissioner John B. Dun
can said he understands that
private property values have in
creased in some areas where
public housing has been erected.
Mr.. Duncan added that he
was impressed by the fact that
organizations like the National
Capital Planning Commission,
National Capital Housing Au-
thority and the Urban League
have approved the sites.
1,1OO Units Slated
These sites recommended by
the National Capital Housing
Authority for LOO low-cost
housing units are:
A 6.3-acre tract bounded by
Twelfth, Thirteenth. @ and ]
streets Sc, on which the hous-
ing authority wants to build
800 dwelling units and three
story and six-story apartment
buildings, including facilities
for the elderly.
A 2.2-acre area bounded by
Rhode Island avenue and S
street NV. and Seventh and
Ninth streets, on which the
housing authority plans $50
housing units.
A 14.9-acre tract on Edge
wood street between Fourth and
Seventh streets NE. The hous-
ing authority plans 300 units in
row houses and apartments at
this location.
A 2-acre location on Second
street between ! and NJ streets
Sc, now owned by the Federal
Government, on which the
housing authority plans to build
40 row houses similar to those
in the adjacent Arthur Capper
dwellings.
A 7.5-acre area split by Mon
tana avenue at Bryant street
NE, earmarked for $50 row
houses, many for large families.

The
Rambler
/. Visits
Archive Of Song
by GEORGE KENNEDY

Time, the weekly news
magazine, says we are ex-
periencing a national hoote-
nanny, a jam session of folk
song.
The Rambler, who has
been out Of circulation,
checked and found this to be
true locally. Like other
national movements it even
tually reached Washington.
1t seems that in January
of tins year two Georgetown
students got together $1,000
and started a night club
called The Shadows. 1t oc-
cupies an old industrial
building at Thirty-fourth
and M streets. The enter
tainment is folk music and
1t has become the most sue
cessful night club in the
Capital.
The owners are % and %,
and the manager is a 21-year-
old undergraduate. Many of
the guests are younger. In
the file kering candlelight,
professional entertainers en-
courage them to sing along
through such sad songs as
blue" the name of a dog
who died; "Aru, Aru," a bit
of Irish keening; Ozark as a
Dungeon" a coal miners
lament, and a joyful number
called Come See Jerusalem"
a Negro spiritual.
The Library of Congress
should be held responsible
for all this. For years its
scouts kept folk music from
dying by carrying recording
equipment to the cabins in
the hollows of the mountains
of North Carolina, Tonnes
see and Kentucky.
The headquarters of all
this is the Archive of Folk
Song in the Music Depart
ment of the Library. The
Rambler stopped there the
other day to see how things
were going. He met Don
Leavitt, who is in charge Of
the Library'S recording work.

Wolf Trap, located in the
folds of the blue-green Vir-
ginia hills near Vienna. Mrs.
Shouse last year donated 40
acres Of Wolf Trap to the
American Symphony Orches-
ira League.
Music Excuse
The area, to be known as
Symphony Hill, will serve as
a research center for 1900
symphony orchestras, con-
ductors, managers and musi-
clans. Plans for the develop
ment have been drawn by the
noted architect, Edward
Durel Stone of New York.
A granddaughter Of q Bos-

of the National Symphony
Orchestra, Mrs. Shouse said
that in her girlhood she used
music as an excuse to get to
her Boston home week ends
from Wheaton College in

Discussing her career. Mrs.
Shouse said: I've had fun
doing firsts."
Her "firStS" included being
the first woman to receive
a masters degree from Har-
wards School of Education.
Her thesis, Careers for
Women" was published in
1920 and reissued by Hough-
ton Mifflin in 1882.
At the time teaching was
about the only field open to
women, and Mrs. Shouse con-
centrated on trying to find
careers for girls in science
and business. She set up

many conferences on job OPP
portunities for women.
At one conference in the
1930s, she recalled, a repre-
sentative Of the Dupont Corp.
argued that the company
couldn't use women in its
laboratories because Of the
bad smells.
Someone asked, How
about cabbage smells in the
kitchen?'" Mrs. Shouse said.
That stopped him"
AS the next most impor-
tant accomplishment of her
career, Mrs. Shouse named
her work with German youth
after World War II.
Receives Cross
For her service with the
United States Army-Spon-
sored German Youth Activi-
ties group, she was awarded
the Commanders Cross of
the Federal Republic Of Ger

also gave her its Patriotic
Civilian Service Award.
ut was as much for our
own children as for the Ger
man children" Mrs. Shouse
said Of the GYA, which set up
youth centers to foster demo-
cratic ideals.
1.-THE idea was that the
Hitler-trained youth had to
be re-oriented, to avert future
wars"
Mrs. Shouse helped to
gather handicrafts materials
with which the German chill
dren could make useful OBJ
jects, always with the idea
that they must give one-third
of their production to less
fortunate children.
THE girls made layettes
out of parachutes. The boys

made shoes out of airmen's
old discarded jackets and
utensils out Of old gas cans.
THE Army privates and
sergeants made up the slogan
for GYA-'A helping hand is
better than q handout.
That's basic" she said.
I'VE agreed, bordering
that If such centers had been
set up during the Weimar
Republic, after World War I,
the late thirties and early
forties might have been less
turbulent.
81 wish we could do more
of this work with boys and
girls around here, where
THEY could do something, !"
Mrs. ShouSe said. "There'd
be much less trouble for the
courts.
$50 much of modern juve-
nile activity is simply mis-
placed kindness, with adults
doing all the work.
Its like the elephant sit

concluded.
After visiting three COL

Its my year for collecting

Mrs. Jouett) Shouse said
deIightedly.
The irreverently confident
stateSwoman of cultural af-
fairs was discussing the
honorary doctorate Of hui
manities degree that she is
to receive today from Tufts
University.
But the talk, in her pale
pink town house at 1916 F
street NV, meandered over
her work in education, wom-
ems careers, Nad and Amer

and music.
Three Of her awards this
year were an honorary mem
bership in Sigma Alpha Iota,
the honorary music frater-

Mrs. ShouSe has worked

over many years as director
Of the Lincoln and Therese
sFilene Foundation. Her
father, Lincoln Filene, was
the Boston merchant.
The foundation established
a chair in civic education at
Tufts several years ago.
Mrs. Shouse said she was
surprised and happy that
someone was offering ME
something for q change"
when Tufts President Nils Y.
VESSEL came to suggest the
honorary doctorate.
During the interview, Mrs.
Shouse's downstairs tele-

her fourth award of 1862.
Mrs. Shouse, wearing a
pale blue dress with pearls,
smiled as she recalled the

that the mooS mixed with the

If you've ever had the bad
fortune of coping with frozen
water pipes, you know it is
no small inconvenience to you
and your family.
Not only can 1t mean that
no water is available through
those pipes, but that the ex-
panding ice can cause leaks
or serious splits in the pip
ing. Even if no damage is
done by the ice. there is the
slow process Of trying to thaw
the pipes with cloths soaked
in hot water; or if very much
piping is frozen, your plum
ber may have to bring spe-
