After the required information
has been obtained the local hous
ing agency may file a formal ap
plication with the Seattle office
of the Federal Housing and Home
Finance Agency. Section 301 (8)
(a) of Title III of the law should
be carefully noted also. The first
proviso of this paragraph reads:
“(a) the public housing agency
shall fix maximum income limits
for the admission and for the con
tinued occupancy of families n
such housing.”
Wh' ‘ this all means is that
under certain circumstances a
community can mialify for the
construction of some of those
public housing unit buildings.
When completed they may by
occupied only by people who do
not earn enough income to pay
more than
of the normal
rent. If the head of any such fam-
ily has the good luck or the
tra energy to increase his in-
come he will have to move his
family elsewhere.
This new law represents the
first instance that I know of
wherein the government singles
out the very poor people of a
community, places them in one
building or a series of similar
buildings and by their very pres
ence as occupants of such build
ings brands them as ‘poor people.’
If you feel I have over-stated
the case in voicing my opposition
to the administration housing
bill, write me and I will glad j
send a copy of the law and you
can read the wording of it for
yourself.
Letters I have received recent

Congressional district ind ate
pretty clearly that the propa ,an-
da drive which was carried on
tor the recent ly-enacted public
housing bill was misleading.
Apparently the general impres
sion is that cities large and small
in any part of the United tSatos
may have government money aid
for the construction of h mses it
such aid is requested. I expect it
might be claimed that such an
impression is technically correct
But let’s take a look at the tech-
localities. Here is the way ti»e
new law operates: City officials

In order to qhalify for a federal
project the facts developed in the
survey must show the number of
low income families needing the
housing. It must also be shown
that the incomes of these families
are suoh as to make it impossible
for them to pay the prevailing
