SYNOPSIS

III. WASHINGTON AT HOME

   With a housing shortage and rents high the magic word "home" does not always bear the charm with which it is popularly supposed to be endowed. With rents high a large share of the little government workers income has to go to the landlord. As a result he must live in niggardly quarters, often under conditions which are perilous to health and certainly to happiness.
