Complicated Issues in RedeveIopment Of Area B
Await Decision of Special Three-Judge Bench
By George Beveridge

plan, and willing to pay q
suitable price for the area B
land, is being handled by the
Redevelopment Land Agency.
Three Points Roised
The property owners law
yers raised these three main
points in arguing that the
program is unconstitutional:
. Congress. in a 1945 act au-
thorizing redevelopment here,
failed to define such terms as
blight" The lawyers said it
was a capricious action of the
Government to apply that
term - underlined - to all of
area B. They conceded sub
standard housing exists there.
But they argued the act de-
fined no term under which
title to their clients property
could be taken.
. Seizure of the properties
would not be for public use."
The lawyers noted that con-
demnation of land for a high
way, for example, clearly
would be legal public USE"
But they contended sale Of the
land to a private investor
would put the seized land in
private" use.
Q The act, primarily a hous-
ing law, does not permit the
taking of commercial property.
Other arguments raised were
that two business properties
within area B would be per-
mitted to remain. that similar
business properties outside the
area but across Fourth street
would remain, and that the
Government has adequate po-
lice powers to act against sub
standard structures without
taking title to properties.
Governments Reply
The Government lawyers,
arguing that the act does not
violate citizens constitutional
rights, raised these points in
reply:
. Congress has broad powers
to declare that the taking of
private land for a specific pur-
pose shall be a public USE"
They said Congress in the 1945
act set a strict procedure that
had to be followed before area
B could be determined a
"blighted area" and taken un-
der eminent domain for a
public USE" They argued the
intent of Congress, as to what
constituted "blight," was clear.
. The act specifically author
lied the taking Of real prop
erty" for lease or sale for re-
development" in conformance
with the approved plan. They
contended this clearly related

Segregation
The President startled the

credit for ending segregation
in D. c. eating and drinking

Reciprocal Trode

The President did make
headway, however, on his re-
ciprocal trade program. He had
asked for q simple one-year
extension Of the existing law
while his aides studied propo-
sails for an expanded foreign
trade program. High-tariff
members Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, on the
other hand, had been calling
for more restrictions.
Last week the House leader
ship induced Chairman Reeds
Ways and Means group to ap-
prove a compromise bill. It
would have extended the re-
ciprocal trade law, but would
have enlarged the Federal Tar
if Commission to bring the
bipartisan agency under firm
Republican control.
But the Rules Committee,
which decides when and how
each bill will be debated, ruled
that the provision enlarging
the FTC could be amended on
the floor of the House. Demo-
Gratis indicated they would
vote almost solidly against the
provision. which probably will
be removed during floor action.

is sort of specialist. We need
more of the "B" children be-
cause they sustain the "a" pu-
pills. We need the specialist.
it is quite true, but where would
the specialist be without us?
Yes. we cherish the specialist,

more respect for the pupil. But
If he happens to be self seeking,
self-centered. a child who dis

the spiritual qualities that add
so much to life.
The "B" pupil is likely to be
a child who plays hard and per-
hapS finds time for a paper

a boy or girl usually thinks more
of giving than of getting. The

D. {. Retailers Hold
Optimism as Buyers
Resistance Mounts
By Nelson M. Shenord

While buyers resistance con-
tinueS to cut into Washington
department store sales generally.
except for the seasonal Easter
uplift in business, there appears
nothing in the situation tending
to change earlier expressed views
that 1858 should be "as good a
year as 1852, if not better"
Job anxiety" reduced salaries
and high living costs in WASH
ington are accountable for the
sales resistance on the part Of
thousands in the Government
service since the change in ad-
miniStrations. That this situa-
ton will right itself In time,
store managers believe.
Meanwhile, there is reflected
here a marked tendency in
smaller business circles to COM
pete more actively than in years
for customer trade, with extern
sion of credit facilities beyond a
point of "soundness" in some
circles. More conservative de-
partment store managers, still
confident that business will pick
up before long, are Tightening
their credit terms. This is re-
flected in a shortening of the
formerly extremely liberal in
Stallment terms.

Store Profits Gain.
Department stores with an
nual sales of more than a mil
lion dollars realized 2.3 per cent
last year after taxes-a gain of

lowest point in 10 years. the

Despite this "very slight" i'm

profit or smaller losses. Spe-
cialty shops did a little better
than department stores. Those
with an annual volume of a mil
lion dollars or more netted "a
per cent-an increase of one
half of l per cent over the pre-
viouS year.
The slight 1852 improvement
was credited to a higher gross
margin plus a tendency to hold
operating costs in line. Despite

stocked against their flour sales for

For producers who have classes
of wheat still selling substantially
under the net loan, preparing to
hold under loan or purchase agree
ment will be the best course.
FEED GRAINS-Prices for corn
may weaken moderately when the
new crop is available in volume,
but all feed grains are likely to
strengthen again by early winter.
Drouth reduced the feed grain sup
ply only 2 or 3 per cent below the
previous estimates, but the loss rep
resents larger proportion of the
supply available for market. Storing
to place under loan will be heavy,
so that "free" supplies are likely
to be less than in the past season.
Current price ratios probably will
stimulate a gradual increase in feed
ing.
DAIRY PRoDUcTS-Prices will
continue to work higher in the next
two months. Because of poor pas
lures, milk production has been de-
Ginning faster than usual in early
fall. With reopening of schools, de-
mand for fluid milk has increased
in some markets. Offerings of but
ter to the government have dropped
to less than 10 per cent of creamery
butter production, but nearly one
third of the American cheese out
put is still being bought to support
prices.
Because of the increase of 2.6 per
cent in number of cows, milk pro-
duction in the next six months will
be slightly larger than a year pre-
vious. Dairy returns over feed cost
are likely to be nearly as large as
last fall and winter.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-10-01

EGGS-Prices usually round the
peak by late October or early No
vember. Production is around the
seasonal low point, but it is at or
near a record high for the time of
year. Because of attractive returns
over feed costs, flocks are being fed
heavily and culled lightly.
Small storage stocks will be
price-supporting influence. Pushing
flocks with good feed and use of
lights for as much production as
possible in the next two or three
months seems to be the thing to do.
The egg-feed price ratio will con-
tinue quite profitable.
TURKEYS are likely to
develop more strength in November,
especially for young hens. The crop
is larger than generally expected.
Stocks in storage increased slightly
in August, contrary to the usual
trend, as the movement into con-
sumption has been rather slow. The
army has been good buyer, how
ever. The premium for hens will
widen substantially in the next
month or six weeks.
POTATOES = Prices usually
strengthen little in late fall. Dry
weather reduced the crop about two
million bushels in August and may
cut it little more in September.
Most of the increase of 1875 million
bushels in the late crop over last
year is Maine which may reduce
its price-depressing effect.
In the IL Western states, the crop
is 4 per cent less than in 1852. The
total crop still appears far enough
above normal requirements to in
dictate relatively low average level
of prices during the season. 1t seems
well to do some selling on each
moderate price upturn.
