A famous controversy over man.
kinds future has flared up again
can our multiplying population
keep on raising it's living stand
ards. or is economic expansion
likely to peter out because o.
shrinking natural resources?
The economist. Harold G. Moul-
ton, president of the Brooklngs
Institution, came out yesterday on
the optimistic side of the question:
though with certain ifs
In a bulky report. DR.. Moulton
said the United States has the aoll-
ity to support a doubled popula-
ton. 100 years from now, on a
plane of living eight times as hlgh
as that of the present.

sion is now definitely on the way

he added, could be raised at least
so per cent simply by universal
application of scientific knowledge
now available, not to speak OF new
possibilities like growing food In

Discusses Variety of Things.
He discussed such things as
electronics. atomic power plants
and synthetics and concluded
that with scientific methods the
country can find adequate food
oil, iron, lumber and other mate
rials needed for another century
of phenomenal progress.
DR.. Moulton also said the nat
ural resources of the world as
whole ARE such as to permit a
vast rise in world standards OF
living over long period of time"
He held that world economic
growth doesn't seem to be limited
by any lack of natural resources
or scientific genius, but rather by
war and other difficulties. :
Many economists tend to agree
with that.
But some biologists. population
experts and others have taken an
increasingly grim view OF the
wastage of soil and other re-
sources and the mushrooming

ZOO -Year-O|d House That Was Never Completed

slight consolation in the story
of Philip holland. Almost 200
years ago this wealthy Co.
lonial planter began a fine
red-brick Georgian mansion
in Loudoun County. Va. on
land inherited by his wife,
Elizabeth Aubrey. 1t isn't
completed yet.
Throughout it's eight large
rooms and hall much bare
brick still awaits the plas-
terer. Some of its woodwork
has never been set in. No
dance has ever been held in
its 30x17-foot ballroom, books
have never lined the arched
bookcases in it's library.
Why Noland abandoned
work on his mansion has
never been learned. All that
iS' known is that every at
tempt to continue where he
left off has failed. In 1910 a
new tin roof was put on and
some repairs were made to
the front door and fanlight.
Then. as in the past. work
stopped. The next owner of
the house. who bought it for
the value of its 1000 or so
acres of farmland, got into
financial difficulties. and it
is now in the hands of his
receivers.
Never occupied by any of
it's owners. holland House has
been let to a succession Of
tenant farmers. Although
these kept it habitable. they
were interested primarily in
its land. Some of them cut
holes for stovepipes into sew
eral lovely paneled overman-
tells. Now vacant and with
most of its window mullions
gone, it is open to wind. rain,

The little-uSed back road

the Carolina road. a key thor
oughfare of Colonial America.
Before the white man came
it was a trail used by the
Susquehannocks, and later the
Iroquois, in their trading with
the Carolina Indians.
AS early as 1853 Noland
operated a ferry at this point.
The main connecting link be-
tween the Maryland and Vir-
giaia portions of the road. it
spawned a thriving commu-
nifty. consisting of a store, a
smithy, a wagon shop, tailor
ing and shoemaking shops
and, undoubtedly, a tavern.
The Loudoun stretch of the
Carolina was popularity called
the "Rogues' road for. being

Errors in Valuations
OF Identical trucks
Embarrass Officials

The District assessors Office had
admitted today that errors should
be chalked up against it. solving
the mystery of the four different
valuations of five identical deliv-
cry trucks of Dy-Dee Wash OF
Washington. Inc.
James L. Martin, assistant as
SCISSOR, checked over the records
with a reporter for The Star and
then conceded sadly. Our faces
are red"
There we're two other trucks
which Dy-Dee's general manager,
L. A. Cline, had asserted were also
identical, although the valuations
TO. assessment were different.
The assessors records showed.
however. that both the original
costs and the weights of these
trucks varied.
The five trucks-Macks-olig-
inally were the property of
Tnompson's Dairy and were reg
istered in 1912. Each was as
SeSSeo at $1,010, according to
Mr.. Martin, which was the original
cost, less 20 per cent.
Cut to $3.50 This Year.
The assessment was reduced to
$8l0 in 1943. On two of the trucks
this assessment held good through
1948, in line with the policy of
no annual reductions in assess
mentS because the market price
had gone up Steeply. Then inns
year the valuation of all trucks
OF 1916 and earlier was reduced
20 per cent. This brought the
valuation of the two trucks down
to $3.50. Actually. 20 per cent off
would mean S648, but the valua-
tions are in $40 steps.
Meanwhile. according to MI.
Cline. Thompson's Dairy bought
new trucks and turned in the nve
vehicles which Dy-Dee then
bought. According to the recorus
Dy-Dee Wash recorded the title
to one of the trucks in February.
1947, and to another, in Marcn,
1947. New cards were made out
in the assessors Office, ana the
1910 valuations were transferred
from the former cards bearing
the dairy'S name, to new cards
bearing the Dy-Dee name.
This is what should have hap
pened when the titles to the ad-
ditional three trucks were reg
istered, but it did not.
According to the records, Dy-
Dee took title to the third truck
in June, 1947. The valuation en-
tered on the new card was 500
instead of S810 and with the re-
duction this year the valuation
now is $3.50
Duplicate Cards Planned.
The title to the fourth truck was,
registered in July, l947. Instead
of S810, the valuation of $3.50 WIS
entered on the new caro-, ana Wln|
the reduction the valuat.Un Is now
$640. The title to the flftl truck
was registered last March. ac-
cording to Mr.. MaTlln, and instead
of S810 the valuation was put
at $500, resulting in a valuation
of S400 this year.
Plans already have been made.
he said, to get up duplicate set
of the truck assessment cards and
arrange them by make. He point
ed out that this would disclose
mistakes and also enable the Of
flee to get greater uniformity in
its truck valuations.
Mr.. Cline also had complained
that two Chevrolet trucks which,
the company acquired when It'll
bought another company were
assessed at different figures al
though he believed them identi-
cal. The assessors records, how
ever. show that the original cost
of one of these trucks was 81 ,82O
and the other s2.135.
