                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
        CHAPTER 9--HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
          SUBCHAPTER VII--DISPOSAL OF WAR AND VETERANS' HOUSING
 
Sec. 1584. Removal of all dwelling structures on land under 
        Secretary's control; temporary housing exempted; preference in 
        fulfilling vacancies
        
    With respect to temporary housing remaining under the jurisdiction 
of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development on land under his 
control, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall (1) permit 
vacancies, occurring or continuing after July 1, 1953, to be filled only 
by transfer of tenants of other accommodations in the same locality 
being removed as required by subchapters II to VII of this chapter; (2) 
notify, on or before March 31, 1954, all tenants to vacate the premises 
prior to July 1, 1954; (3) promptly after July 1, 1954, cause actions to 
be instituted to evict any tenants still remaining; and (4) remove (by 
demolition or otherwise) all dwelling structures as soon as practicable 
after they become vacant: Provided, That in any case where a request for 
relinquishment or transfer has been filed pursuant to section 1581 of 
this title and where under the provisions of section 1581(c) of this 
title the date for compliance with all conditions to the relinquishment 
or transfer shall have been extended, each of the foregoing dates shall 
be extended for a period of time equal to the period of the extension 
under section 1581(c) of this title: And provided further, That nothing 
heretofore in this section shall apply (1) to any temporary housing in 
any municipality in which the total number of persons, who on December 
31, 1948, were living in temporary family accommodations provided by the 
United States or any agency thereof since September 8, 1939, exceeds 30 
per centum of the total population of such municipality as shown by the 
1940 census, nor (2) to any temporary housing as to which the local 
governing body has adopted a resolution as provided in section 1582(c) 
of this title, nor (3) to any temporary housing for which a request has 
been submitted in accordance with section 1581(b) of this title, but 
which has not been relinquished or transferred solely because the 
applicant has been unable to obtain from the landowner the right to 
possession of the land on reasonable terms as determined by the 
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Provided, That, in filling 
vacancies in such housing, the preferences set forth in section 
1581(d)(1) of this title shall be applicable and that families within 
such preference classes shall be eligible for admission to such housing, 
nor (4) to any temporary housing in which accommodations have been 
reserved, prior to the enactment of this section, for veterans attending 
an educational institution if (i) such institution certifies that the 
accommodations are urgently needed for such veterans and submits facts 
showing, to the satisfaction of the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development, that all reasonable efforts have been made by the 
institution to find other accommodations for them and (ii) such 
institution agrees to reimburse the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development for any financial loss to the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development in the operation of the accommodations after June 30, 1951.
