ports may together amount to
$28, 500 100000 in 1860, but ex-
perts agree that we could profit
ably develop a world trade far
larger than that.
3. BY 1860 our increased pop
ulation with it's higher income
and greater spending will con-
stitute a consumer market for at
least three-quarters more in goods
and services than we bought in
our big boom" year of 1929.
Let's say that we achieve some
such goals. Millions Of Americans
then move up into higher income
classes than they attained before
World War II. Cash income of
the average American household
rises from around $4,000 a year in
1910 to half again as much in
1860. The work-week shrinks.
Most Of us will have more money,
more leisure than before the war.
But what of those who will be
left behind? Some still won't
have enough to eat, a descent
house to live in, adequate medical
care, and many other necessities
of life. Our forests and lands
still won't be fully protected. All
in all. if we follow the normal"
rates of the 1920s we shall be
turning out a total of at least
$239 billion per year Gin 1947
prices) in goods and services in
1860. But our findings show that:
For less than $1.8 billion more
than we are likely to spend on
education if we follow past trends,
we could in 1860 take every boy
and girl in America through two
years of high school, half of them
through two years Of college, and
provide every child with a safe,
comfortable schoolroom with an
adequately paid teacher.
Further Frontiers
For less than $2.5 billion above
what we might spend on medical
care in 1860. if we followed past
experience. we could assure every
American of proper medical,
dental and nursing care, making
hospitals available to all and pro-
vide a comprehensive health serv-
ice for the entire Nation.
For about $4.5 billion added to
what we would spend on food if
we followed past trends-and this
figures out at just cents more per
person per day in 1960-we, could
feed all our undernourished and
|underprivileged and provide every
American with an ample. health
full diet.
BY spending only $1.4 billion a
year over 15-year period.
added to what past trends in
dicate we might normally spend
on housing each year, we could
wipe out every slum dwelling in
America, repair or replace every
defective house or apartment and
provide every family in our land
with q decent, comfortable home.

are still deficiency appropri-

several hundred million dollars
to the total. Authorizations and

cluded in the total. If they were
the total would be increased by
a billion or more.

recommendations regarding repeal
of the t-Hartley labor law,
the Brannan farm program. and
national health insurance will
carry these issues in the congress
sional campaign next year, unless
action should be taken on them in
the second session of the 81st
Congress. in some quarters 1t is
reported that the President well
comes this situation, figuring that
these issues will aid in electing a
new and stronger Democratic
Congress.
In considerable measure, Mr..
Truman has been no more able
to get along with the 81st Con-
gress than he was with the Re-
publican 80th Congress, which he
dubbed the second worst Congress
in history. His failure has been
due to the unofficial but strongly
operating coalition of Republicans
and conservative Democrats
most of them from the South
who have refused to go along
with his Fair Deal" program, on
the ground that it leads to State
socialism or "statism.'
The President has met sena-
torial rebuffs for several import
ant appointments to Federal Of
flee, including former Governor
Mon c. Wallgren of Washington, a
personal friend, and Leland Olds
for third term as Federal power
commissioner.
Whatever Mr.. Truman may
have thought of the various hos
tile actions of the 81st Congress,
he has held his fire, perhaps be-
cause he hopes for better things
at the second session and perhaps,
in part, because an attack upon
this Democratic Congress might
make the situation more difficult,
both for himself and for the elec-
ton of a Democratic 82d Congress.

America Could Prosper

BY spending only $3.50 million
more than the 50 billion we may
be expected to spend in 1860 we
could have a conservation and
development program that would
protect our soil against erosion.
drain millions of acres Of marshy
land, bring water to millions of
acres of parched land, make our
forests self-perpetuating. develop
our major river valleys and 60
long way toward providing ade-
quate parks and recreational areas
for Americans.
Suppose we did all these things.
Suppose we went right on and
carried out every improvement
project mentioned in this whole
survey.
It sounds fabulous. Yet to do
everything we would have to in
crease our normally expected out
put by little more than per cent
in 1860.
Question of Output
Thus by stepping up our output
by less than one-tenth above
what we might normally expect,
we could produce enough in
America to abolish want and
hunger and bring every human
being up to minimum living
standards or above. We could
lace our country with highways.
insure our people against hazards
of old age, sickness and unemploy-
ment, build schools. libraries. art
galleries, sport centers. lecture
halls for every one, protect the
riches of our lands and forests
and natural resources.
This Is the prospect-and the
challenge-that the future offers
to us and to our system. Such an
increase would provide jobs In
profusion. It would offer great
opportunities for both public and
private investment. Many of the
things we would need to carry out
this program, such as schools.
highways. hospitals, parks, etc.,
would come from Government.
The factories, stores, offices, etc..
would come mostly from private
sources. The whole expansion
would give the businessman, the
worker, the farmer, the inventor,
the investor, the private citizen
in whatever line, chance to play
his rightful part in building
Americas future.

Miss Ellen S. Hawkins taught

1881, even after she had become
Mrs. Ellen Jensen.

The Naples
Perhaps the oldest building in
Southeast Washington, known as
the Naples, was located at Sixth
street and South Carolina avenue
and erected in 1856 by Capt.
William Wayne Duncanson.
His mansion was designed by
William Lowering and he had built
a coach house and stable. But
though the captain had at least
$4,000 when he came here from
England, yet he finally became
practically broke and on July Is.
1909, a decree was issued by the
court directing the sale of his
South Carolina avenue property
to Francis Scott Key as trustee.
On July 20, 1888. title to this
property was again transferred.
this time to Maj. Augustus A.
Nicholson of the United States
Marine Corps, one of the best
known men in the Navy Yard Sec
ton. He was man Of very ariS-
tocratic tendencies and fine tastes.
His entertainments were attended
by the most fashionable people in
the District. Maj. Nicholson was
married in 1921 to Miss Lispenard
of New York by whom he had
number of children, among them
being Commodore Nicholson OF
the Navy and Maj. Nicholson OF
the Marine Corps, both residing in
Washington for many years. His
second wife was Sallie Carroll,
daughter of Daniel Carroll of Dud-
dington.
Subsequently, title was vested in
John M. Clayton and in 1858 title
went to Francis Pourtales. Mrs.

was OLIVIA" resided here. 1t is

The Senate passed a bill for
Federal aid to education in the
States. The measure. however.
begged down in the House COM
mittee, owing to a controversy over
whether aid should be extended in
any form to parochial schools.
The Congress renewed the au-
thority Of the President to make
voluntary agreements affecting
transportation, inventory control
and speculative trading in COM
modities which basically affect the
cost Of living. The law expired
September 80. Laws continuing
the authority of the Government
to control imports of fats, oils, rice
and rice products, and to continue
the control over tin and tin prod
ucts were passed, too.
The House and Senate passed
a bill to legalize the basing-poi
Ipricing system in instances where
it is not in conflict with the anti
trust laws.
The House has on its calendar,
reported from committee, a bill to
authorize Federal aid to States
and local governments for advance
planning of public works-for use
in the event of recession. Serv-
ing the same purpose is a law
passed by this Congress authoriz-
ing planning and purchasing OF
