P.W. A NOW OWNS 12 HOUSING SITES Department Says Eightl Construction Jobs Are Under Way. As President Roosevelt’s approval of 16 additional slum-clearance and low-rent housing projects was an- nounced yesteday, the housing divi- sion of the Public Works Administra- tion revealed that the Federal Go ernment already owns 22 sites out- | right and is actually building on eight | of them. The statement was made in answer to critis of the P. W. A. who claimed the program was about to be Junked. | ‘The announcement covering the ap- proval of the additional projects did not disclose the cities or the States in which they are to be located. The allotment covering the projects was $24,750,000. 50-City Program. Secretary Ickes, who proposes to spend $300,000,000 on slum clearance and low-cost housing projects, said | such projects are contemplated in about 50 cities. Three such projects are already under way in Washington. The Gov- ernment has purchased the necessary | land for one at Kingman terrace, on | Benning road, and at Anacostia ter- | race just east of Anacostia road.| Secretary Ickes will call for construc- | tion bids as soon as architectural plans are complete. The third project, cov- ering a large area in Southwest Wash- ington, is being held in abeyance pending District Supreme Court ac- tion on objections filed by some of the landowners to condemnation of their property. | Title Necessary First. Under a ruling by the controller general, the Public Works Adminis- tration cannot enter into contracts with architects until the Government holds the title to the land. The two local projects about ready for launching, officials said, will ac- tually get under way about six weeks after bids have been opened for the| housing construction and an award has been made. The authorities were unable to say just how near comple- tion the plans for the Kingman ter- race and Anacostia terrace projects are Kingman terrace will be a colored housing project. This program will cost $1,600,000 and provide fer 323 living units. At Anacostia terrace the | Government will provide homes for %00 families at a cost of $3,500,000.

Charging the official report of the | Florida hurricane was a “whitewash,” and accusing officials of “gross neg- | ligence” in failing to heed storm warnings, James E. Van Zandt, com- | mander in chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, has called on Presi- dent Roosevelt to ignore the report and punish those responsible for the death of veterans in the storm-swept | area. “Nobody will be fooled by the| ‘whitewash’ report covering up the| official negligence that brought death to all of those who had served their country in time of war,” Van Zandt says. “The report states that the catas- trophe was due to an act of God. If officials had heeded the storm warnings or had been in the least| familiar with seasonal climatic con- | ditions the tragedy could have been | averted, all witnesses agree.” A square meal for three hune gry people for less than 15¢ What a bargain.

By Charles Philip Riley. CARROLL FOR~ REST set his cocktail glass on the tray alongside the comfortable chair in which he lay sprawled before his fireplace. He watched as the sleek Togo, the Oriental immobil- ity of countless centuries on his bland countenance, entered the room, added fuel to the fire .and silently spirited the tray into the kitchen. He thought of the servant as he stared into the glow of the grate. Togo was indis- pensable. He won- dered if the com- ing of Margot would change He lapsed i Things to many single years. Things to which conditioned generally. Things like Togo, specifically. Late one afternoon that same week when the sound was alive with noisy motor craft, and the Long Island countryside a picture of natural Sum- mer glory, Togo, standing in the door- ster rumble into the driveway. * ok ok x IT REQUIRED a second, surprised | look from the servant to credit | the lady in the car. A lovely lady, too, Togo observed as he stepped for- The master lost no time in show- ing the lady about the place. Togo, | watching furtively from the crescent glass panel in the kitchen door, waited for them to return to the living room. He timed his entrance with the cock- tails very adroitly. - He placed another log on the fire to conquer the chill air of the Fall evening. Togo could hear the elegant lady voicing a very definite objection to the manner in which several of the master's favorite pictures were hung | on the wall. They should be so and not so, she insisted, as she adjusted | tnem to suit herself. The glum-\'n.s-; aged Togo made his unhappy way back to the kitchen. Presently the master came into the kitchen. Togo was busy preparing dinner, not the slightest flicker of emotional stress to be noted in his The master seemed rather gay. “Togo,” he announced, casting a rather apprehensive glance at the man, “the lady is coming here to live—we are going to be married.” Carroll grinned and paused for a moment to glance at the expression- less Togo before revealing: “She will probably suggest a few little changes | here and there, as time goes on—but | I guess we can regiment ourselves, eh, old man?” The expression on Togo's face, tan- tamount to blankness, remained the same. “And what are we having for din- ner, Togo? Kippers?” the master sniffed. “Great!” “Do you think you'll like it here, | darling?” Carroll was saying when Togo next entered the room. | “Oh, my dear,” and there seemed | to be a shuddery sensibility exposed | in the tone of the pretty woman who ‘ sat next to him. | * * x % | SHE watched Togo leave the room before she spoke again. | “Your manservant, darling, we shan’'t need him——" There was a strong hint of demand in her voice. | “You’ll let him go, of course.” | Young Heads Should Be é Trimmed And Curled in time to go back to school | rain, she explained.

Togo watched covertly the mas- ter, who seemed to be quite fascinated with the questing drops of rain which spattered against the window and slid downward in shiny, crystal glob- ules on the pane into final disinte- nto silence. gration. The storm continued. After dinner the lady and the master sat rather solemnly before the fireplace. It rained steadily through the night. A steady symphony to which both Carroll and Togo had long been ac- customed, but which caused the lady a great deal of discomfiture. | In the morning, the storm over, cool, bracing air came through the open windows. Togo had breakfast on the table. The lovely lady de clared she had slept only fitfully; the horribly annoying clatter of the| world did Carroll sleep through m1 What happened after that Togo| The breakfast dishes| out of the way, his next activity was centered in the garage, stacking his personal belongings on the rear seat of his old flivver. * ox ok T THE moment he was so busily engaged Carroll sought him.
