VANCOUVER, B c, Jan 16tNeW
Canadian Dispatch)-The city of
Vancouver. whose only year-end
regret was that it was unable to
have a White Christmas now
claims a japanese Canadian popu-
lation of somewhere between 1900
and 2,O0O-approximately one-tenth
of the pre-war figure Today the
influx of jos into this West Coast
metropolis has practically come to
standstill IN comparison to the
first few years after the lifting OF
the ban against japanese Canadian
movement to the coast The days
are virtually gone now when large
numbers just packed up and moved
back to their old home town from
the B. c. interior and points east of
the Rockies
Showing a showdown along with
the influx is the growth of &c bust
ness establishments and &c real es-
tate purchasers. &c patients at
Pearson Hospital have also decreas-
ed in number to a mere seven half
the figure recorded in 1852.
The notable upsWing during 1858
was the increase in the number OF
&c students endeavoring to attain
higher Canadian education An en-
rollment of more than eighty Nisei
has been registered for the current
session at Point Grey's University
of British Columbia. An increase
has also been observed in the en-
rollment at the Vancouver japanese
language school under the tutorship
of Mr. and Mrs Tsutae Sato.
Marriages among jos here have
likewise started on the rise after
period of relative quietness during
the first few years following the re-
turn of jos to the Pacific Coast.
Over fifty per cent of the present
JIG population have practically set
tied in the same localities where
JOS were concentrated prior to the
evacuation-north of Broadway to-

Against freedom
D. shs Asseeioisd Prsss

President Eisenhower today
forecast the eventual stoppaee
Of what he called the Communist
''conspiracies" against the world
march Of freedom.
But he hoped the triumph of
peace and Justice would be &C.
complished mot by force. but
through patient perseverance,
and the growth Of knowledge
and understanding among ma
tions and men.
In q message Of greeting TO
Fourth of July ceremonies at
independence Hall in Philadel-
phia. addressed to Mayor Joseph
5. Clark, jr.. the President said
freedom made tremendous gains
and seemed certain to continue
during the decades following
American independence.
But beginning 20 years ago.
he said, freedom suffered from
forces marshalled by leaders of
fascisn and communism who
have ruled millions through,
cruelty. violence and deceit.
The President said important
parts Of these conspiracies have
already been stopped by an out
ragged humanity"
Eventually. he added. "the
others are certain 70 so. because,
in the long run nothing can
stand before mans intense desire
for personal liberty and his de-
termination to worship In his
own way"

Key Senator's Cool
On Plans 10 Raise
Federal Debt Limit

Two members Of the Senate
Finance Committee say they
haven't decided whether TO APP
prove an increase in the Federal
debt limit and q third says he
fatty opposes the proposal.
A formal administration re-
quest for Senate action on the
plan is expected soon. The
measure, raising the legal limit
on Government borrowing from
$275 billion to $500 billion. was
approved by the House last year
but stalled in the Senate COM
mittee.
Senator Byrd. Democrat, Of
Virginia, q committee member,
said yesterday he believes Senate
passage Of the administrations
tax revision bill makes an in
crease in the debt limit unneces-
sary.
"The revenue loss from this
bill is not as much as had been
anticipated he said in an in
terview. He did not give q
dollar estimate on the measure.
It's probable effect Isl still being
calculated by tax specialists.
George Not Committed.
Senator George OF Georgia,
ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee. said he hasn't made UP
his mind but hopes action can
be put of until next January
Senator Williams, Republican, Of
Delaware says he's yet to be co1l-
vinced the limit should be raised
II just don't believe in reduc-
ing taxes with borrowed money
Senator Williams said.
Unless the Senate acts this
year, the administration would
have to start from scratch in
both Houses Of the next Con-
gress In its efforts to obtain q
financial breather. The Federal
debt has been towering close to
the $275 billion mark for sew
eral months, and Treasury in
formants have said q raise in
the ceiling may soon be required
Expects Formal Request.
Chairman Fergusetl Of the
Senate Republican Policy Com
inittee said he expects q formal
administration request for action
and that attempts will be made
to bring the issue to . vote in
the Senate before Congress adj
iourns. around the end of July
But the Republican leaders
were not at all certain Of hold
Ing their ranks intact in q con-
tr0versy involving the political
issue Of further deficit spending.
There are indications that
Treasury officials would be will
ing to settle for some sort Of
compromise under which some
government debts could be taken
out form under the statutory lim-
ition but Senator Byrd said he
wants none Of that and Would
rather vote for 9 straight in
sss
There also was i possibility
that q boost Of from SIS billion to
50 billion in the ceiling would be
proposed within the Senate COM
nnittee. rather than the SIS
billion increase which the House
has approved.

$4,000 Homes
Put Under Way
Here in 1854
BIS Reports
TotpI Was
Highest Since SO

District area builders have
put under construction more
than "a 900 dwelling units dur
ing 1854. making the year the
biggest since 1850 and the
third largest since the end Of
World War II. 1t was learned
today.
This estimate was made on
the basis Of Bureau Of Labor
Statistics, month to month
home construction statistics
for the Washington Metrop0li-
tan Area. Those statistics show
that In the first IL months Of
the year about 81 500 homes
were started, and that Decer1-
Der probably would account for
oyer $500 more.
Throughout the country.
housing production was at q
rate which probably win push
the total well beyond the
1.100, 900 units forecast earlier.
Some estimates put the years
output as high as 1.250, 900
units Or more.
In the District itself, home
building fen sharply. but ii
suburban areas rose substarti-
ally over the previous year. The
District accounted for only
l2.4 per cent. while nearby
Maryland was the site Of 4g.7
per cent. and nearby Virginia
Of 3T.9 per cent.
Prince Georges County took
over leadership as the political
subdivision with the highest
housing total In any area--26.9
per cent. washington led last
year with 26.3 per cent. Fair
fax County production rose 80
substantially this year as to
give 1t q slight edge over Mont
gomery county. with the two
counties having % per cent
and 22.8 per cent, respectively.
In the previous year, Fairfax
had only Is per cent Of total
production, while Montgomery
accounted for 22.1 per cent.
BIS figures show that apart
ment production. while still
substantial. represented only
% per cent of this years total
output, as against ~ per cent
for single family dwellings.
Last year, single family units
accounted for 52.7 per cent.
with apartments constituting
z7.3 per cent Of the total.
The Washington areas big
eest housing year was 194g, I
when a total Of 50. .79l units
were put under construction.
Next In volume was 1850, when
the total reached 26.504 dur
ing a period which saw. an all-
time United States record Of
1896, 900 dwellings started by
builders.
Production in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area since
1945 was as follows: 1945-5,-
$50 units; 1946-11,862; 1947

Excise Taxes Are
Costly To Phones

If you were a subscriber of
Northern Ohio Telephone Conn
pany during 1858 you paid $13.11
per telephone in Federal Excise
taxes.
The Annual report of the Com
pany revealed that the staggering
sum of $1,O69, 1897 % had been col
lected from the subscribers in
Federal Excise taxes. For local
service and toll calls under 25
cents the tax is Is percent and on
long distance calls over 25 cents
the tax is 25 percent.
In addition to this amount which
is paid directly by telephone users,
the Company paid in Federal,
State, and County taxes SLAB,

phone in service.
Officials of Northern Ohio Tele-

to remove the discriminatory tax
