No Changed Is Seen by Realtors
In Price OF Business PROPERTY

Current sale prices for retail
business property and Office
buildings will prevail in most
areas during the next six months,
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards predicted today.
Basis of the prediction was the
f1fty-fifth survey Of the. real
estate market.
More than half of the 264
reporting real estate boards in
dicated a vacancy rate of / per
cent or less, while about one
tenth reported a vacancy rate
Of 2 per cent for both retail
business and Office property.
There was no clear-cut pattern
in the variations in sale prices by
geographic location. Current
rental strength provided the
foundation for the prediction. !
About three-fourths of the
boards reported that current
rents were the same as those six
months ago, while nearly a fifth
said they are higher.
Retail business property va
cancy rates remain low in most
communities. estimated at / per
cent or less by So per cent of the
reporting boards. A vacancy OF
about 2 per cent Is indicated by
26 per cent of those reporting

vacancies were over S per cent.

critics, with 26 per cent of the
responses listing more sales than

same.
Although Office building va
cancies are comparatively rare in
most cases, scattered nine
communities reported vacancy
rates Of over 5 per cent. An adj

Attic Fan Is Good Air Conditioner
By Douglas Tuomey

Although many Of the solid old
formulas for making a house
comfortable are continually be-
ing passed up by modern home
owners in favor of some new or
complicated device, 1t Is a posi-
tive fact that most Of the old
remedies are much better and
far less expensive than many of
the modern gadgetS.
II you wish to sleep ir COM
fort and to have a house that is
completely ventilated and livable
during the summer davs and
nights, I recommend the attic
fan as the first and foremost
method of securing your COM
fort.

Parliament adopted unanimously
Tues. new constitution setting up

It paves the way for election by

Tito was present at the ses-

more than years work by a spe-

Today's session probably will

DULLES HOPES TO CREATE BIPARTISAN
FOREIGN POLICY; TO DISCUSS KOREA
BY
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON R-In a move
toward bipartisan foreign policy,
John Foster Dulles has proposed
to discuss Korea and other prob
lens with Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee members shortly
after Inauguration.
The new secretary of state prob
ably will come before the COM
mittee at an informal session Fri
day, and some members said they
want to hear more then about his
projected trip to Europe.
Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) called
the committee together today for
approval of his plan for advance
questioning of Dulles and Harold
E. Stassen, slated to be mutual
assistance administrator, so that
their nominations can be acted
upon Inauguration day.
James Hagerty, press secretary
for President-elect Eisenhower, an
nounced in New York yesterday
that Dulles and StaSsen will go
to Europe late this month at Eisen-
hower's request to get information
''in relation to U. S. participation
in NATO and in economic assist
acne"
While this trip might delay the
proposed conference, Dulls is
known to have told Capitol Hill
friends he wants to discuss world
problems-particularly Korea -
with them as soon as he gets
squared away in his new job. Sc
lected Democrats apparently would
be included in such discussions.
This may provide the lawmakers
with their first insight into what
plans Eisenhower has made since
his December visit to the Far East

sand Philadelphia Transportation
Company workers went on strike
today, sending 21s million transit
riders in search of other modes
of travel.
The walkout began at midnight
as cashiers on the Broad Street
subway and frankfort elevated
lines stopped accepting fares, CIV
ing some late customers an unex-
pected free ride. The shutdown
was completed shortly before /
am. as trolley, subway and bus
operators pulled into barns and
garages from outlying runs.
To meet the extraordinary crush,
railroads and taxi companies ad-
ded to their facilities and motor
lists got the family car out of the
garage to pick up friends and fell
low employees on their way to
work.
Industrial firms rushed COM
pany trucks into service and the
joint committee of the armed
forces in the Philadelphia area
brought every available bus and
truck into play.
Despite these measures, howev-
er, many a Stenographer and fac
tory workers was bound to be late
on the job this morning.
The walkout came as a surprise
to some this morning. They went
to bed last night under the i'm
preston an agreement reached by
union and company negotiators
would stand up.
The agreement was announced
jointly earlier in the day by Mich
ael j. Quill, international president
of the Trasport Workers Union,
and Albert NJ. Greenfield, prinei-
pal company negotiator, after a
day-long session in the City Hall

next year and q half, coupled with
a gradual reduction in the work
week from the present 4s hours to
40. Pic employees now average
$l.67 IAN hour.
Immediately after that meeting,
Quill left for New York, where he
is directing a two-week-Old walk
out of bus operators.
Terms of the agreement were
submitted last night to the rank

count to reject the agreement and

NEW YORK COLISEUM

CIMBEL PREDICTS
COLISEUM WILL ADD
SO TO 100 MILLION
DOLLARS TO CITY
~ CHARLES cHUcKRoW

NEW YORK R - New York's
famed tourist charlottesville EN-
pire State Building, Rockefeller
Center and United Nations Head
quarters-may soon get some new
competition.
Plans have been made to build
. 20 million dollar project which
win include coliseum and exhi-
bition hall and two modern apart
ment buildings on one side Of
famed Columbus Circle.
The New York Coliseum, as it
Is to be called, will have room
for 5000 permanent seats along
with space for 1850 additional
temporary chairs. The seating
capacity Of Madison Square Gar
den Is about 1900.
Robert Moses, chairman Of New
York City's Committee on Stun
Clearance, prepared the plan. It
was unanimously approved by the
city Board OF Estimate and is now
pending before the Federal Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency in
Washington. Under the National
Housing Act the federal govern
ment may provide aid to supple
ment municipal funds in acquiring
sites for slum clearance.
In backing the project, the slum
clearance committee pointed up
New York's need for an adequate
convention hall. Large conyen-
tons, expositions and trade shows
shave invariably gravitated else
where" because New York has not
had adequate facilities, the COM
mittee commented.
The Coliseum would compare
this way with two present New
York show centers in exposition
space available: Madison Square
Garden, 5000 50. IT,; Grand Gen.
trail Palace, 10000; and the Col
iseum, rs. 900.
The arrangement Of seats Is so
flexible" the committee reported,
shat any type of convention or
exhibition can be accommodated.
Special consideration has been
given to handling several affairs at
q time with attendant movement
Of incoming and outgoing equip
ment and material.
In addition to two floors Of ga
rage space for 800 cars below
ground, the street floor of the Col
iseum win be used for shops and
restaurant space, the next four
floors for exhibition area and the
top floor for meeting rooms.
Now occupying the 6.32-acre site
are slums and commercial build
ings. There are more than 500
families living in the buildings,
many Of which are run down. Some
Of the tenants are In low income
groups and therefore entitled to
low-rent public housing. Others
win be offered help in getting re-
located.
Plans for the two apartment
buildings specify they win be IL
stories high and have 1858 rooms.
Garage space win be provided.
The Coliseum win be located on
the southwest side Of Columbus
Circle facing Central Park. The
apartment houses win be directly
behind It.
That site Is a half mile north Of

Far East" He added; "It is my
judgment that Russia does not
want to precipitate a war in the
Far East. We should be firm In
our stand there .
Sen. George (D-Ga) said he be-
lieves the Russians viii deny that
any of their planes have violated
Japanese borders and probably
