SLUM, HOUSING PROJECTS Only Two-Fifths of Jobs Over Nation Can Go Forward Now. PROGRAM HERE IS HELD UP TO WASHINGTONIANS Some Hold Theory That Sites Be- ing Fought Over Will Be First to Be Dropped. Washington’s low-cost hcusing de- velopment and slum clearance proj- ect, under the Public Works Adminis- tration, stand imperiled because of President Roosevelt's slash in funds for this part of the New Deal, in the opinion of officlals last night. The Chief Executive has cut the funds for housing from $250,000,000 down to $100,000,000, Public Works Administration authorities said last night, and this means that only two- fifths of the original program can now go forward. The fact that three- | fifths of the money has now been diverted to quick relief for made work under the Works Progress Adminis- | tration of Harry L. Hopkins, jeopar- ! dizes the housing program, not only in Washington, but all over the Na- tion, they said. While the situation is quite mud- dled, because of the latest moves of President Roosevelt in favoring the Works Progress Administration over the Public Works Administration, as | the officials saw it last night, it will be up to Washingtonians to see that the full program is carried ahead, if they desire it. Whether this means the putting up of additional funds or | the donation of professional services by local architects remains to be seen. | " Situation Similar in Other Cities. A similar situation will prevail where the Public Works Administra- tion has entered cities with a low-cost housing and slum-eradication pro- | gram. Upwards of 50 cities are ac- | tively interested in this problem. and plans are in the making for adding a number of additional developments, including one at Baltimore. Details of these have not been announced. As matters now stand, the Federal | Government has acquired title to land ! for two low-cost housing projects in the National Capital, and the fate of a third is in the hands of the District Supreme Court, where demurrers have been filed against Unele Sam's move to purchase properties in the South- west. Kingman terrace, upstream of Benning road just west of the | colored high school, near the Ana- | costia River, is now in public owner- ship, and a colored housing develop- | ment is planned there for families with limited means. Anacostia terrace, at the junction of Ridge road and Anacostia road southeast, is likewise jowned by the Government. A group | of local architects probably will be obtained by the Public Works Ad- ministration if sufficient funds are on hand to have the plans drawn for these two developments. Secretary Ickes’ associates last night were vague | on the exact procedure to be followed. D. C. Bids Unsettled Now. Before the recent Hyde Park, N. Y. | conference, after which the Chief Executive announced the new set-up, the Public Works Administration had planned to call for bids for construc- tion of the houses at Kingman terrace and at Anacostia terrace as soon as the architectural drawings had been | completed. Just when this stage | would be reached, the officials were unable to say. The third project here, entangled in | legal argument, is near First and P | streets southwest, [Army ‘War College, is problematical. In some cases, the housing develop- ments and the elimination of slums Its future also Works Administration. The theory among some officials is that the land which the Federal Government now owns im the low-cost-housing and slum-clearance areas will be utilized for these purposes. In cities where hands to acquire the properties de- sired, the projscts will likely be junked altogether. It may be that a program will be worked out later with the Re- construction Finance Corporation so the full housing program can mate- rialize, some officials hinted. Old War Chest Gone. There are no funds left over from the old $3,300,000,000 Public Works Administration war chest, which might be applied now to save the day for low-cost housing, officials said last night.
