Southeast Residents
Oppose Housing Plan

The Commissioners have been
urged, in a petition signed by 81
residents of Southeast Washing
ton, to forbid a public housing
project in the vicinity.
The petition said the area con-
cerned is located generally be-
tween Southern avenue, East Cap
Iitol street and Fifty-sixth street
Sc, where the National Capital
Housing Authority has been max
ing studies.
1t expressed particular concern
for the area adjacent to East
Capitol street. Fifty eighth street,
Southern avenue, Pine street and
Central avenue Sc.
The Commissioners were ad-
viSed that most Of the petitioners
homes in the affected area are
new houses. occupied for less than
a year. and others are those Of
longtime residents of the COM
'munity.
The residents bought their
homes with the understanding
that residential coming for de-
tached and semidetached houses
would assure the location of their
residences in a community of pri-
vate homes. the petition said.
1t asked the city officials to as
sure against authorization of such
a housing project, zoning to per-
NIT such a project, acquisition of
land for such a project. granting
of permits for the construction
and against the construction it

Business Holds Pace,
But Some Industries
Miss Recent Peaks
By Richard Fiske
Associoted Press Business Writer

NEW YORK. Sept. business
activity maintained an enviably
high pace this week although the
production of some key industries
Shied away from recent peaks.
There was ample evidence that
the summer slowness was end
ing and the signpostS pointed to a
pleasing fourth quarter.
Businessmen took the view the
Governments huge defense plans
could only mean more work, more
wages. more buying power. And
they figured there still would be
spending money despite higher
taxes.
The ninth increase in railroad
freight rates since World War II
became effective during the week
and spelled higher costs for many
industries.
CarlOadingS Gain.
Gains in such categorieS as car
1oadings and business loans were
encouraging.
Carloadings were an indication
of the rapidity with which raw
materials were moving to factories
and goods to market.
Business loans indicated a step
up in the rate of borrowing, much
of it for expansion.
Money in circulation was re-
ported at the highest figure in
more than a year.
This indicated there was more
spending going on; that the con-.
Sumer, among others, had loosened
up a bit on the purse strings.
Better Business Predicted.
1t was trend toward the better
business that many economists
have been predicting in recent
weeks.
Dun g. BradStreet attributed
a slight increase in retail volume
during the week to preparations
for the Labor Day holiday and the
reopening of schools.
A clothing manufacturer ex-
pressed optimism over poSt-Labor
Day business and added there was
every indication of "a prosperous
fall season provided the stores
continue to promote sales aggres-
sivoly."
An economist predicted a
marked increase in orders for such
non-durable goods as textiles, ap-
parels and shoes within the next
several weeks. A more than sea-
sonal increase, he added.

NEW YORK. Sept. New

Price changes in the corporates
were slight.
Longer maturity Governments
advanced from 1882 to 1892 of a
point for the week. Dealers said
sales were small. however. and
that the price changes reflected a
market featured by lack Of Of

Sales Volume Low.
The 2bs of 1967-1962 added

chase by commercial banks, to get

decline after Federal Reserve
Board pegs were removed LAST
spring.
Sales volume in the corporates
was consistently low. except for
Thursday. when demand devel-
oped for wide range of rails and
industrials. although they ad-
vanced only slightly.
The par value of sales on Mon
day and Friday fell below the 81
million mark. The lack of activity
on Monday was a carry-over from
the preceding week and that on
Friday was attributed by dealers
to a jumping of the gun by buyers
and sellers in beginning the Ions
labor Day holiday week end.

by holiday, will see a number Of

In America even l2-year-old boy may be

of the rights of man" that boy may never again

Franklins prayer as concept of free and just

own time. 1t has become dedication for our
soldiers, workers, our citizens who resist with
one mind oppression and injustice wherever in
the world such tyranny appears.

prayed, This is my country" whether in America
