flavor at the Capitol, officials
are not too hopeful.
Sounding an often-repeatec
warning, one top municipal Off
cial last night declared: "We
just can't stand a drastic in
crease in taxes. It would only
accelerate the deterioration OF
the downtown area"
1t was conceded by this Off
cial that there is no possibility
of trying to liberalize the Budget
Bureaus concept of higher Fed
eral payments
The, Commissioners strategy
instead, is to try to get the
bureaus active agreement that
the "big- three levies-real es-
tate, income and sales-must be
held as near to present levels as
possible. and that possible boosts
of other levies be kept to an
absolute minimum"
1892 Million Program.
The works improvement pro-
gram that was placed before
Congress by the Commissioners
totaled 1892 million. The Bud
get Bureau revision would bring
that down to $305, chiefly by
reducing the number of pro-
posed projects - other than
highways and sewers by 10
percent.
The Bureau, in recommended
tions forwarded to Congress last
July 30, refused outright to sup
port the Commissioners request
for a $109 million Federal grant.
It was willing to go along with
500 million of the $123 million
which the city asks in Federal
loans to support the construc-
ton program.
In lieu of the city's proposal
for a $109 million Federal grant,
the Budget Bureau recommended
that the authorized annual
Federal share in District eX-
penses be raised from $11 million
Exclusive of the 81 million the
Government pays on it's water
bilD to $40 million.
The trouble with this is that
of the 50 million increase each
year, about SIS million would be
consumed by increased opera
tional costs. And that is the
deficit which would ostensibly
have to be offset by increased
taxes in the three super-senSi-
tive categorieS.
IF those taxes are raised" an
official prophesied, there will be
a terrific public outcry."
Three Alternatives Open.
In the light Of the Budget
Bureaus present stand on the
public works program, the Com
misSioners have one of three
courses open to them:
/. To lower their construction
sights still more.
2. Raise the critical taxes in
the dubious hope that the Bureau
is right in its belief that the

increases won't be "unduly
large"
8. Combine a works program
cutback with tax raises to ease
the blow to both taxpayer and
program.
Prior to taking the latest ap-
proach, it was understood the
Commissioners considered send
ing to Congress a budget for
fiscal 1855 covering only opera
tional costs, and leaving it up to
the legislators to take the initia-
tive in meeting the capital outlay
needs.
This, it was felt, however,
would have the effect of antag-
onizing rather than helping.

The Future Of the Vest
BY ]. G. de Beus. Harper & Bros; $2.75J
Reviewed by Richard FNkIund

Thoughtful persons in these
days of crisis sometimes find
themselves wondering If the
Western world has a future or
if it is on its way to becoming
another dead civilization.
In this book Mr.. de Beus.
Minister Of the Netherlands
Embassy here, has set out to
find how the foremost long
view historians would diagnose
our case. Where in the cycle
of birth, rise, maturity, decline
and fall of civilizations do we
stand? And what comes next?
He let's Spengler and Toyn-
bee answer the first question.
The answer: The Western civ
ilization is past maturity.
In arriving at that conclu-
sion, Mr.. de Beus does an ex-
cellent job of synthesizing the
views of history held by Speng-
Ter and Toynbee. He finds,
surprisingly, that there is lit
tie difference between the two
once the influence Of their
contrasting personalities is
shorn from their writings.
After locating our civiliza-
ton in the stream Of history,
Evening star., 1953-07-05

Mr.. de Beus on his own hook
takes a look at the future. Here
the going is more difficult.
Spengler and Toynbee have
made their regulations by
looking at the woods from a
distance that permitted them
to see the trees, but not to be
distracted by them. But Mr..
de Beus is so close to today's
time of troubles he may give
undue significance to short
term trenGs-after all, the
postwar decade is but an in
slant in history.
He concludes that our civil
ization is not declining, even
though it is past maturity.
He points to signs that we
have the creative energy to
pull ourselves out of our trou-
bles and head into a new
golden age. Let us hope he is
right.
In any event, it is encourag-
ing to find this sort Of opti-
mistic view expressed by a
European. It would be help
full If DR.. Beus' fellow CONT
nentals took some courage
from him.

The so-called light novel,
even when it is a superior job,
is apt to be underrated.
Because such a book does
not contain characters who
search their souls every few
pages as they face dark stu

missed pleasantly as nice sum-
mer reading. 1t is assumed
that a story which is primarily
amusing merely touches the
surface of people and prob

In life people often conceal
their inner Illustrations and
secret dreams beneath trivial
conversations, even laughter.
Why not in novels? AS a mat
ter Of fact, some very fine
novelists have probed pene-
tratingly with a deceptively
light touch. It probably took
a while for early readers Of
"Huckleberry Finn" to see the
solid philosophy behind hu-
morous and easy-going de-
scriptions.
Jewish Family Life
The Good-for Nothing" will
rate as a light novel, but it is
more than the term commonly
implies. Mr.. Yaffe, in his sec
ond book, writes again of up
per middle class Jewish fami-
lies in New York. In such a
family, the father or perhaps
the grandfather has come over
from Europe and, with little
education. made a lot of
money. The children have
gone to college and at least
some of them go into the pro-
fessions; they are more or less
cultured, depending on their
tastes.
This story involves Leo and
Norman Kramer, brothers.
Norman is the hard working
boy who has become a certi-
fed public accountant and
supports both his mother and
Leo, who is utterly worthless.
Norman is touched with nobil-
ity. He remains a bachelor

The vast majority Of us who

in England this summer, can
have a pleasant little taste OF
it by visiting the gallery Of
The American Institute Of
Architects, 1735 New York
Avenue, weekdays from Q to
5, through July IT.
On view there is an exhibi-
ton entitled Regency Brigh-
ton" composed of 10 archi-
tectural photographs arranged
by the Regency Society Of
Brighton and Hove, England.
No other town in England Is
so closely associated with this
last great English architec-
tural style (says the little illu-
strated catalogue. a bargain at
20c). George. Prince Of Wales
(later George IV) who became
Regent when the insanity Of
George III became permanent,
paid his first visit to Brighton
in 1888, was followed by smart
society, and Brighton grew
from a small fishing village to
England's second most i'm
portant center of fashion by
1900. However, the real archi-
tectural boom occurred in the
1820's.
The photographs illustrate
entire buildings as well as in
teriors, and details (doorwayS,
ceiling, stairways, chandeliers.
etc. The Regency Society was
founded in 1945 to endeavor to
safeguard the best buildings
from Disagreement or destruc-
ton.
