Mortgage Bankers
Urged 10 Take Lead
In S|um Projects
By George Beveridqe

Mortgage bankers in Washing
ton and other cities have been
urged. for their own benefit, to
take the leadership in programs
to rebuild rundown areas and
to Offset the growth of new
slums.
To some extent, this will re-
quire a reversal of business

Government participation and
control in the housing field

Of Draper & Kramer. Inc, OF
Chicago.
The Chicago mortgage lender
discussed the city face-liftine
moves yesterday, at a Mayf1ower
Hotel conference. sponsored by
the Mortgage Bankers Associa-
ton of America.
Slum Prevention, Too.
In a frank and. at times,
highly critical address, Mr..
Kramer warned that city rede-
velopment programs, such as
that slated for Southwest WASH
ington, can be justified econom-
ically only if they are matched
"by an even more vigorous pro-
gram Of slum prevention"
The basis for such a hold-the-
line program, he said, must be
vigorous use of cities powers to
enforce health and other hous-
ing standards. He added:
ANY city that stands for a
breakdown in zoning, or the
random conversion of houses
and apartments to higher (popu-
latlon) densities or lower uses.

We are beginning to see that
the pendulum has swung 80 far
in the direction of protection of
individual property rights that,
TO conserve our cities, we must
now find the machinery to pro-
tect the community from the in

weeks end it was clear he
had talked at least as much

His main theme was that
unity was the only secure
course open to Europe. so why
not get on with it? Not all his
hsteners-especial in opposi-
ton parties-were impressed.
Somebody asked a spokesman
for the German Socialists, who
oppose Germany'S entry into

quests. like several others he
made, were in furtherance Of
Republican promises made
during the campaign.
In sum, the Presidents state

broad outline of policy which
he proposes and looks to Con-
gress to dispose in the next
few years. How well a Congress
which has to stand for cleo

nearly four years to go remains
the big question for the future
to answer.

The Presidents suggestion
Of another hike in the debt
limit may have indicated that
he is not contemplating too
drastic a surgery job on the
$78.6 billion budget presented
last month by former PreSi-
dent Truman. The projected
public debt figure for June
80. 1953-the close of the cur
rent fiscal years. $263.9
billion. The Truman budget
deficit for the next fiscal year
would be 500 billion. The two
added together would bring
the debt on June 80. 1854. to
$273.8 billion-perilously close
to the present ceiling.
On controls, the Chief Ex-
ecutive was most explicit. He
did not intend. he said. to
ask for curbS on wages and
prices, but would let the law
die a natural death on April
80. Likewise, materials and
product controls-except for
some defense priorities-would
expire June 80. Then, on
Friday, he ended all wage
and many price controls.
But the situation proposed
by the President was not a
return to complete laissez-
faire. Certain areas, he said.
had critical housing problems.
and IN these areas-but these
only-rent controls should be
kept beyond June 80.
He was explicit, too, In as
sorting his control over the
executive branch Of the Gov
eminent. The President. in
effect, told Senators McCar-
thy and Jenner that he would
handle matters of employe
loyalty. He did not put it
quite SO bluntly, but the Inn
port was there.
One of his remarks--about
statehood - was taken by
many to be a purely partisan
move. He called for legisla-
ton to admit Republican
Hawaii as the 49th State, but
said nothing about Democratic
Alaska as the 50th. Up to now
the two statehood propositions
have been legislative Siamese
twins.

Nm IdE DOMESTIC 'front.',
~ Gen. Eisenhower made
it clear that his administra-
ton would be dedicated to
moderation. The Presi-
dents long military expert
ence seemed to reveal itself in
his numerous statements that
careful study would precede
definitive action.
But in the field of domestic
as well as foreign affairs. Gen.
Eisenhower asserted his au-
thority. There had been loud
and enthusiastic talk on the
Hill about cutting taxes inn
mediately. The President
served notice that he wanted
tax cuts to wait their turn
after, not before, a balanced
budget. THE first order of
business" he said. sis the
elimination of the annual def
icit. Reduction of taxes
will be justified only as we
show we can succeed in bring
ing the budget under control"
He did not hold out hope
that get-balancing and
tax-cutting would be things Of
the immediate future. 1.-THE
momentum of past programs"
he said, might neceSsitate set
ting a new ceiling for the pub
lie debt above its present limit
of $275 billion. The debt stood
last week at 1857 .400, 1865 .553.
This would appear to be about
$7.6 billion below the limit.
Actually, however, some 5000
million of the present debt is
not technically counted in the
overall figure subject to limi-
tation. so the current level is
$8.2 billion under the ceiling.
If the debt limit is lifted, it
will be the eighth change that
has been made in the last IA
years-since the present type
of debt limitation first went
in effect-and the seventh in
crease. Here is what has hap
pened to the public debt
ceiling since it was established
on July 20, 1899, at $45 billion:

Foreign Policy

THE Formosa and was-it-
\ Yalta items were the big
conversation pieces In the
Presidents message. But they
were not his only excursions
into the broad field Of foreign
policy.
He pledged bipartisanship
and asked for legislation that
would make trade, not aid"
more than simply q hope. And
he announced that the United
States would do more toward
training and rearming Of
South Koreans major talk
ing point of his during the
campaign.
All ears were waiting for
what the President would say
about Europe. It boiled down
to this: The United States will
help those who help Them
selves.
Mutual security" Gen. Eli
senhower said, means effec-
tive mutual cooperation. For
the United States. this means
that, as a matter of common
sense and national interest, we
shall give help to other ma
tions in the measure that they
strive earnestly to do their full
share of the common task. No
wealth of aid could compensate
for poverty of spirit. The heart
Of every free nation must be
honestly dedicated to the pre-
serving of its own independ-
ence and security"
The President wanted, he
said, to see practical unity in
Europe. That his desires along
this line we're more than mere
talk was made evident (see
below when Secretary of State
Dulles reached Europe and
started talking to fellow mem
bers of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
President Eisenhower'S
promise of hipartisanship
sounded fine. But by the end
of the week there was a rather
hollow ring to it's echo. On
the matter of Formosa, there
appeared to have been little
or no bipartisan discussion
before the decision was taken.
Rather, Gen. Eisenhower APP
parently called in Democratic
leaders after he had decided
and told them what he would
say. A howl went up from
many Democrats in the days
that followed the message.
In an area that overlapped
foreign and domestic policy,
the President discussed briefly
the plans for that agency of
Government he knows best,
the Defense establishment.

There have been persistent
reports that President Eisen-

intention apparently is to back

The Deoth Toll

At last count, 1872 persons
were known to be dead in the
Netherlands, and hundreds
more were missing. Another
100000 were homeless. Damage
was estimated to be at least q
billion dollars. g
England's southeast coast
also suffered heavily. The
Thames estuary was invaded,
but the worst damage was
north. along the coast in the
Lincoln Norfolk region. The
English death toll was SAC.
British workers were struggling
over the week end to complete
repairs along the broken sea-
walls before the high tides ex-
pected this week.
In less hard-hit Belgium,
where the waters were receding
more slowly than in the other
flooded regions, only % persons
were reported dead. Seawalls
were weakened, however, and
the Belgians were listening
anxiouSly for weather reports
on how much wind would ac-
company next weeks high
tides.
How much the English,
Dutch and Belgians will do
to prevent disasters in the flu
ture is problematical. The
Dutch, old hands at such
bouts with the sea, were dog
gedly insisting they would re-
claim and resettle every acre
devastated by the briny North
Sea. They may rebuild the
bikes a little higher. but gem
orally they seemed content to
take their chances that
another storm of such freak
ferocity could not be expected
for a long time to come.
The Dutch are probably
right in their hopes. There
had not been such a catastro-
phe as this since 1921.

WHEN HIGH ARCTIC
w winds push the waters of
the North Sea southwark, the
normal place for the sea to go
is through the 2O-mile wide

the narrow end of a funnel.
But when the winds get too
strong, the water piles up be-
hind the funnel" and, in ex-
IRENE cases, floods the coasts
of England, The Netherlands
and Belgium.
Such an extreme occurred
last week end. Two storms
teamed up off Iceland and
came roaring into the North
Sea. High spring tides, at their
new-moon peak, turned into
a near tidal wave. Coastal is
lands were inundated. Sea-
walls in Southeastern England,
Holland and Belgium crum-
bled. Waters spilled inland,
backing up the rivers as they
came.
The Netherlands was hardest
hit. A full third Of this ma
ton is below the level of the
North Sea, in some places by
as much as Is feet. There is
no natural drainage. Hol-
lands famed windmills supply
the power to keep the lands
drained of river waters, and
bikes protect the land from the
rayages of the sea.
Neither entertainments nor
windmills were equal to the
task of keeping the land dry
last week. Five hundred thou
sand acres, including a fourth
of Hollands farmland, were
flooded. They will produce no
crops at all this year, and no
more than so per cent of nor
