Vast New Growth
Forecast for Woshinqton

The Trade Boards report on
business outlook here con-
tanned the following prediction
OF the city's potentialities:
The board of directors may
conclude that our committee
is unWarrantedly pessimistic
about the future of Washing
ton. That is not so. On the
contrary, we confidently be-
lieve that Washington will
grow and develop into one of
the truly great cities of the
world, that it will become
larger. more attractive, more
cosmopolitan. and a greater
educational and cultural CEN
ter.
Since 1890 Washington has
had the distinction of being
the most carefully planned
major capital city in the world.
The planning has been pri-
marily directed toward the de-
velopment of a beautiful COM
munity appropriate to house
and serve the Government Ut
the United States.
But the century-and-a half
since L'Enfant set down his
vision of the city of magnifi-
cent vistas finds us face-to-
face with conditions undreamed
of at the beginning of the
18th century.
Our country has grown from
the original Is Eastern sea-
board States. 1t now spans the
continent and contains l65
million people. Originally an
agricultural Nation. We are now
the greatest industrial country
with the highest standard Of
living known to civilization.
Economic and social affairs
have become tremendously
complicated and with them the
completely of Government has
grown.
While efforts are now being
made to reverse the central
ization and expansion of Gov
eminent at the Nations Cap
ital, long time trends here
and throughout the world
forecast a continuation of big
government. We, therefore,
believe that while there will
be temporary declines in the
rising curve of Government
employment that the major
direction of the curve will be
upward and that the WASH
ington area will therefore con-
tinue to increase in i'm
portance as a Government
center.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-02-12

lumbia and that the District
will in the future be the CEN
trail major commercial section
Of a Washington extending
from Frederick to Fredericks-
burg. They should devote their
energies and talents to foster
ing detailed economic plan
ming which went into the Dis
trict's development as the seat
OF Government needs to be
continued on broadened basis
TO include light industry and
more diversified types of basic
employment.
Industrial activity on the
Eastern Seaboard is moving
down the coast and will. we
believe. soon extend south of
Baltimore. Our proximity to
the port of Baltimore, our stra-
tegic position transportation
wise, and other favorable fac
tors seem to support our belief
that the Washington area can
and will be developed into a
much more important indus
trial and distributing area.
Year by year we are becom-
ing a more important educa-
tlonal center. Without plan
ming or encouragement, WASH
lngton is already getting to
be an important research CEN
ter for private industry. Today
most activity in that field is in
electronicS. but a bright future
also seems probable in chem
istry, medicine. economics, etc.
Washington has made enor-
nous strides as a great cul-
tural center in recent years
and We confidently anticipate
far greater development as a
world center of music, art and
the like.
To sum up. then. the mem
bers of the committee are filled
with optimism about the long
range future of the WaShinp-
ton area. We think that it
will inevitably become even
larger, more prosperous and
more important as a great
world capital. particularly if
leading citizens viii unite in
a sound. well-developed, con-
tinuous program of work TO-
cused on achieving that dis
tinction.

Problems Will Rise
In Adjoining Areas

4. All the problems will not
be within the District. AS con-
tiguous counties become more
densely populated-more ur-
banized-they will be required
to greatly expand many serv-
ices. To secure favorable in
surance rates. many volunteer
fire departments will have to
be professionalism. Health.
welfare and other services. now
fairly limited. will need to be
expanded. Thus it may be con-
fidently forecast that the coun-
ties will find it more and more
difficult to raise funds to meet
the costs.
It is an acknowledged fact
that urban areas cannot. from
residential property and other
taxes on residents, collect
enough to finance necessary
services. There will. therefore.
be an increasing need to at
tract business to these areas
which contribute much more
in local taxes than service
costs.
5. We are witnessing here a
movement of many businesses
to Jurisdictions outside the
District. We think it may be
anticipated that lacking sound
plans, suitable conditions and
an adequate action program
that trend will become strong
err.
s. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the United States Gov
eminent has released more
than a million feet of leased
space in the District during
1858, petent officials
promise to release more. Dur

City Is Undergoing
Slow Rebuilding Process

3. The District of Columbia,
like the central congested areas
of other major cities, is going
through the loosening-up pro-
cesses which accompany in
creased motor vehicle use. Our
city is slowly but surely being
rebuilt to meet modern con-
ditionS.
Families, particularly those
with better than average in
come and with small children.
are moving to surrounding SUI
burban areas in a steady
stream. The center of the city.
as in New York, seems only to
be attractive to those with
very high and low incomes.
Those going to the suburbs are
being replaced by low income.
largely Negro, residents.
These low income families
are at the same time those
most expensive to service and
least able to contribute their
share of the cost of the service.
AS they become a larger pro-
portion of the population. it
will influence adversely the
Districts already serious fiscal
problems.
At least one competent stu
dent of the Washington area
economy forecasts that the
population of the District Of
Columbia will remain relatively
static and may even decrease
during the next two or three
decades while the number of
people in nearby Maryland and
Virginia will increase greatly
probably to double the 1850
number. It is clear that the
population of the District could
not greatly increase with
present coming restrictions. It
is also clear that D. c. popu-
lation loss will not necessarily
be harmful to the District. 1t
would obviously not be if suf-
ficient additional business &C
tivity could be generated.
Still further potential fiscal
problems during this rebuild
ing, population shifting era
promise to develop from the
relatively huge expenditures
which are going to be necessary
in the central area to move.

the Kaplan committee concern
ing experimenting civil service
retirement with social security
before deciding it's position. Mr..
Disbrow added that Federal en-
ploye groups must be realistic
about the situation If they hope
to have their annuity and sur
worship benefits increased.
Also the Organization of Pro-
fesslonal Employees of the Agri-
culture Department has Endorsed
coordination of the two systems
whenever social security benefits
exceed civil service benefits.
Otherwise. it urged the contin-
ued independence of the civil
service retirement setup.
In addition. there are rum
blings among the rank land file
members of Government en-
ploye unions against the blind"
/ opposition to social security
taken by their union leaders. if
letters to this reporter are any
indication.
These employees say co-ordina-
ton of civil service retirement
and social security is the only
way Government workers will
get increased annuity and fam
lily insurance benefits. And SO
long as the civil service retire
ment system retains it's indie
pendence, as proposed by the
kaplan committee Federal en-
ployes need not worry that social
security will swallow up the civil
service retirement system, they
declare.
Fear that social security Gov
erage would one day lead to
abolition of the civil service re-
tlrement system has been the
main reason Government en-
ploye unions have opposed Joint
coverage.
However, the Kaplan commit
tee studying the Government S
retirement system has agreed
to recommend to CONGRESS Joint
coverage. And the administra-
ton has disclosed that it, too,
will recommend that Federal an
nultv and Surviyorship insurance
benefits be liberalized through
supplemental social security
coverage. in additional to civil
service retirement In fact. the
Kaplan committee is composed
OF the Governments top cabinet
officers and agency heads.
