S. Workers for Southeast Building Considered. FINANCE ASSURANCES REPORTED TO BACKERS Appeal Is Made for Low-Cost Homes for 1,000 Families—Sites Are Under Consideration. Housing officials of the Interior De- | partment are giving consideration to a request of Navy Yard employes and other Government workers to finance with P. W. A, funds a $2000.000 housing development, preferably in southeast Washington to provide low- cost homes for more than 1,000 fami- lies Assurances of P. W. A, | aid were reported at A meeting yesterday at | Naval Lodge Hall. Pennsylvania ave- | nue and Fourth street southeast, by officers of the newly organized Holly- wood Park Planning Corporation, a co-operative movement of Government employes who are back of the housing project. While negotiations are pend- ing with Administrator Clas of the | Housing Division. no decision has yet been reached by the Government. Secretary Ickes has applied for £7.000.000 for two housing projects in Washington. For meonths sites have been under consideration in southwest and northeast Washington. There is no assurance from the Housing Di- vision that either one of these long- considered sites will be selected. Confident of Financial Aid. The Navy Yard employes, who are being joined i1 the movemeont to se- cure better housing officials by the Bockbinders Union, No. 4. and others, are confident they will obtain finan- cial aid from P. W. A. The newly formed corporation desires to build the homes itself. instead of having the work done by the Housng Division That is a matter which officers of the corporation claim the Housing Di- vision has not decided. The corporation will call another meeting of Navy Yard employes soon. it was said last night. to select a site for the proposed project. Un- developed sites in several sections are being considered, rather than going into a neighborhood already built up. “The need for houses is so great people are actually fighting for them.” Albert Pake, secretary of the co- operative movement declared. “The desire to own homes is so keen that it is hard to understand why the Government has not already provided housing projects for its employes here.” Other TU. S. Workers Eligible. ' Emil Leonard is president of the Hollywood Corp.. a co-operative move- ment which is not limited to Navy Yard employes. Other Government workers, it was said. are eligible to membership. The corporation grew out of the efforts of the Housing Committee of Columbia Lodge. Machinists. to pro- vide better and more moderately priced homes for Government em- ployes in the Navy Yard. The com- mittee has made a long study of needs. Should P. W. A. turn down the proposition, it is proposed to go ahead with the movement and private financing. Mr. Pake declared the movement started as a means of “removing union men off the relief rolls” and was sub- mitted to P. W. A. primarily on that basis. The project. if carried through, would be sufficiently large to accom- modate more than 1,000 familie: Out of 365 replies to questionnaires | received by the committee some time ago. Mr. Pake said they represented 1,152 people, including 422 children. | Many more people have evinced a de- sire to come into the movement since | then, he claimed. Further Word Awaited. | The corporation is awaiting further | word from the Housing Division which already has explained to the committee | in charge the usual methods employed | by P. W. A, in establishing projects on | a 25-year payment basis. | Mr. Pake claimed there are enough skilled workers among the corporation members to erect their own homes and | If this is done, he said, the work will be on a non-profit basis. Further conferences are to be held with Interior Department officials who have given the Navy Yard emploves to understand the Government thinks favorably of the proposition. i CONGRESS MAY URGE SHIP STRIKE PROBE Resolution to Authorize Secretary of Labor to Investigate Set for Wednesday. By the Associated Press. A possibility that Congress itself may prompt intervention in a strike to prevent delay in an important part |of the Navy’s treaty-strength building | program developed yesterday on Capi- | tol Hill. | Chairman Vinson tentatively set for | hearing Wednesday before the House |Naval Committee a resolution by | Representative Kenney, Democrat, of New Jersey, that would authorize the Secretary of Labor to name a board | of inquiry to investigate a strike at | the yards of the New York Shipbuild- ing Co. at Camden. N. J. The company is building three | cruisers and four destroyers for the | Navy. Their prompt completion. Ken- |ney contended, is required by the | necessity of national defense. “The strike” he said, “involves more than a mere labor dispute, since | it affects the important naval butlding program.” . He told reporters the company had | declined to deal with Labor Departe ment conciliators and added that 3,700 workers had been on strike since May 13, claiming they were paid starvation wages and forced to work under improper conditions. . RURLAND HOPEFUL OF SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS FOR HEALTH |Budget Bureau’s Approval Held Only Chance to Re- lieve Situation. THOMAS OF OKLAHOMA | PRESENTS SUGGESTION | Next Deficiency Appropriation Bill Would Carry $93.000 for D. C. Under Plan. Approval by the Budget Bureau of a supplemental estimate of $93.000 Scarlett Sues Jane Cooke’s Mother for $100,000 Damages or less in the next defic.ency appro- | priation bill to give the District Health Department sufficient funds to combat the spread of contagious dis- eases was regarded yesterday as the only hope of relieving a situation in Washington described by physicians as “an emergency.” “Somehow, somewhere, we'll get this money.” Dr. George C. Ruhland the new health officer of the District, asserted. ‘We've got to get it.” In fighting mood, Dr. Ruhland re- fused to admit his first defeat at the hands of Congress, which reduced Health Department funds by $93.000 for the 1936 fiscal year to cripple his health nursing service and threaten 87 full-time employes with a 15-day payless furlough Supplemental Estimate Proposed. From Senator Thomas of Oklahoma yesterday came the suggestion that the only way to meet the situation was to obtamn approval of a supplemental estimate from the Budget Bureau. “If it is possible to get that approval.” he said. “there should not be much diffi- culty in having the amount needed covered in the deficiency bill. With- out budget approval, however, I don't believe it will be possible.” Senator Thomas was chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcom- mittee which handled the District bill and which incorporated in the Senate bill the urgent request of Dr. Ruh- land for additional funds. While the Senate conferces fought hard to re- tain the item in conference, they were compelled to yield under pressure from the House. Encouraged by repeated assurances of support from the Medical Society and various civic organizations which poured in upon him yesterday, Dr. Ruhland conferred with Commissioner George E. Allen and sought help from District friends at the Capitol. Sen- ator Royal S. Copeland of New York, who fully realizes the need for lower- ing an alarming death rate in Wash- ington. is sympathetic toward the movement to obtain additional Health Department funds Consider Matter Further. Dr. Ruhland and Commissioner Al- len will consider the matter further in the hope of being able possibly to submit a supplemental estimate to the budget in time. The original esti- mate for $33.000 was inserted in the District bil! without going throuzh budget chanrels. For that reason the House conferees succeeded in knocking it out “T believe, personally,” Dr. Ruhland said yesterdayv. “that those who denied the funds failed to understand the grave consequences involved.” Whue not hopeful of obtaining the needed funds. the health officer is determined nevertheless to continue fighting Because of his small budget, he said it would be necessary to reorganize the health department this Summer. He will conduct, too, what he cajls an “educational campaign” to ac- quaint members of Congress with the problems of contagious diseascs, the halting of which he declared was ab- | solutelv necessary to safeguard the i““s and health of Washington res- idents. He particularly criticised the tubercular death rate among colored residents, claiming the lack of suffi cient trained nurses to go into the homes provided a real menace to the city. Hope for Appeal to Roosevelt. The health department is hopeful | that the Medical Society of the Dis- trict will carry its appeal direct to President Roosevelt, althougin he thinks little will come from this move. He was of the opinion that Congress, having decided the matter, vill let it rest where 1t stands. There is little | doubt, however, that a last-moment ]appen] will be made to the budge: director. | Lack of money to hire additional nurses, he declared, will greatly han- dicap the good that can be derived | from the new Children's Tuberculosis | Sanatorium. He said it was “incon- | ceivable” that Congress should reduce (See HEALTH, Page B-2.) 0’MAHONEY INVITED - TO SPEAK FLAG DAY | Wyoming Democrat Asked to Talk to G. A. R. and Wom- an's Relief Corps.

District day in the House tomorrow is expected to develop a battle over the widely ecriticized report of the Special Crime Investigating Committee Althcugh nine District bills are on the calendar awaiting action, there were indications last night that they would be sidetracked temporarily while various members thresh out their dif- ferences over the recommendations in the crime report [ The fight will center chiefly around Representative Blanton, Democrat, of | Texas, a severe critic of the report, who attacked Representative Randolph, Democrat. of West Virginia. chairman of the Crime Committee. on the floor several days ago, and then. by parlia- mentary tactics. prevented the West Virginian from defending himself. Randolph Support Rallies, A half dozen or more members of the House have rallied to Randolph's support, and will seek time during con- sideration of the District calendar to dampen some of Blanton's fire. The prospective attack on the Texan will come from both the Republican and Democratic sides. Randolph himself expects to speak for 10 minutes and explain the reason for the recommendation in the erime report for the removal of United States Attorney Leslie C. Garnett, as well as his action in testifying as a character witness for a constituent from West Virginia who was on trial in the District Supreme Court. Blanton has found fault with both the report | and the action of the Crime Com- mittee chairman. The feeling between the two is anything but friendly at the present time. In fact, Randolph start- ed after the Texan on the floor of the House Friday as if he intended to resort to fisticuffs. Committeemen to Aid. ee of those who plan to come to Randolph's defense are members of the Crime Committee—Representa- tives Schulte, Democrat. of Indiana Brewster.

The “open bar” bill, sponsored by Representative Dirksen, Republican, of Tllinois, is not expected to be called up, however. because of the absence of its author. The other measures on the calendar follow A bill to regulate the employment of minors, which will permit children between 16 and 18 years of age to appear on the stage for not more than 4 hours daily and 28 hours weekly. A bill to 2amend the paving asses ment law by providing only one as- sessment for modern paving. A bill removing the bond require- ment for the civilian Commissioners and the surveyor. A bill raising the scale of fees charged by the recorder of deeds. A bill creating a new misdemeanor of “negligent homicide,” which is in- tended to span the gap between reck- less driving and manslaughter. A bill authorizing the payment of an award of $1,316 to Lyman C. Drake for injuries received while in the Dis- trict service. The last three measures already have been passed by the Senate.
