Twenty years from now, one
forecaster says. you'll zip from
Washington to Paris In less than
three hours.
For shorter hops you'll board
a 30-passenger helicopter bus
that will whisk you around the
countryside at 3 miles a minute.
Your family car will be nu-
clear-powered. of course. 1t will
be equipped with electronic de-
vices that will "see" traffic con-
ditions far ahead-to say moth
ing of an automatic brain" that
will park the car for you.
And-housewives and hus-
bands, attention-you'n never
wash a dish or a diaper. Ultra
sonic waves will do your clean
ing instantly. A twist of a dial
and clothes will move into an
automatic ironer where they'll be
ironed with just the right
amount Of pressure.
This dream Of the future was
presented-not as q dream but
as a scientific and industrial
probability-today to the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
opening its annual meeting.
Arch N Booth, the chambers

proposing that existing lease
purchase legislation be used in
stead. ...
In a statement today, w. E
Reynolds, former Public Build
ings commissioner and now
zeckendorf consultant, said his
group still favored a separate
bill.
He said he was sure existing
legislation would work, however
If it were amended. One of the
chief amendments would specif1-
cally permit GSA to negotiate
contracts.
In other testimony, both Mr.
Searles and Irving Bryan. Dis
trict Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci. proposed changes in the bill
under study to:
l. Require that the District
get full taxes on the new Federal
buildings during the period they
would be leased by Federal agen-
cies and still in private owner
ship. Under lease-purchase, title
would pass to the Federal Gov
ernment only after a specified
lease period.
2. Authorize the Federal build
ings to be placed anywhere in
the Southwest area rather than
in a restricted western portion
as the bill provides.
Subcommittee members also
questioned Mr.. Searles closely
about what commitments his
agency had made to Mr.. Zecken-
dorf which might bar other in
vestors from participating.

New Plants Rising
Consumers are confident, he
said, because business is acting
with confidence and pouring cap
ital into new plants and equip
ment at a rate which is likely
this year to set an all-time rec
ord. and because they know they
have an administration here in
Washington that is conscious Of
the dynamics of the American
economy" " :
He said that the atomic power
industry is moving out from
under the wing of Government
control. that the Nation is on
the verge of harnessing solar
energy" and that new products
and processes hold promise Of
increased productivity, new Job
opportunities, and higher living
standards.
The industrialist spoke out in
support of better schools. saying
this was no unselfish gesture.
Well trained and we'll balanced
people make better employees ard

"You can't beat productivity"
Mr.. Johnston said. 1.-THE strength
of modern nations is not meas

But Mr.. Johnston said that AZ
the country is to progress toward
this "brave new world" it must

Lester L. Colbert, president OF
Chrysler Corp, told $500 busi-
nessmen in a prepared talk that
industry will be hard pressed to
supply its growing market in the
next 20 years.
Mr.. Colbert predicted that
automation-the trend to auto
matte factories-will be a time
ly blessing" in the two decades
ahead, rather than a potential
source of unemployment.
Big Production Job
He predicted that population
will surge up to 22l million by
1875 while the number of new
workers viii rise slowly because
of the low depression years birth
rate, and went on:
"The job ahead is to pro-
duce enough goods and services
to meet the needs Of a rapidly
growing population with slowly

workers"
Mr.. Colbert reported that 1855
may be the auto iii6ustry's best
year. He went on to predict that
"by 1875 the one-car family
could be in the minority-and a
large proportion of families may
be using three or more cars"

economy will have its ups and

SOUTHWEST
CONTINUED From First Pag

or through lease-purchase legis-
lation already on the books. A
key question is whether GSA
should be permitted to negotiate
such contracts with builders, or
go along with present restrictions
requiring competitive bidding on
such projects.
The Federal buildings would
be located in a vast area ex-
elusive of the 76-acre Area B
near South Capitol street.
Ground Rules Changed
Questioned about week end
reports that Mr.. Bush had
withdrawn from the Area B pro-
gram, Mr.. Searles told the Sem
ators that FILA had adopted
certain restrictions which COM
pletely change the ground rules
and which completely eliminate
the attractiveness of the prof.
ect" to Mr.. Bush.
He said his agency intends to
seek "a different type of in
vestor" and is confident the
Area B program will go ahead.
Subcommittee Chairman SYM
ington asked why, If Mr.. Bush
was unable to make a go of the
project. any other builder could.
Mr.. Searles said he under
stood many builders think
other FILA projects they have
would pc jeopardized If they
participated in this" He then
was drawn into a discussion of
the specific FHA practices
which led to Mr.. Bush's with
drawal.
Mr.. Searles said he did not
think it was quite fair" to ap-
ply what he had said directly
to Mr.. Bush since the Norfolk
builder had not had any such
pressure brought as yet by the
FILA. But he made plain that
Mr.. Bush was being guided by
the experience of other builders
who had had previous FHA
projects,
Only Legal Recourse
The witness said he UNDER
stood the FILA decision to REQUIRE
that windfalls be repaid to
lenders was "the only legal way
the FILA has to act"
do you mean the FHA is at
tempting to do adninistratively
what it does not have legal
powers to do?" asked Senator
Hruska, Republican, of Nebraska.
Mr.. Searles said he thought
the legal authority question is
being tested now in the courts.
but that the FILA definitely is
doing it administratively now"
And they refuse to issue any
new mortgage insurance on
rental housing until this condi-
ton is metz" Senator Hruska
asked. .t
That's correct" Mr.. searles
replied.
The RIA official previously
had said the FILA financial
ground rules" which also dis
couraged Mr.. Bush included
lower mortgage evalutions on
the project and a lower builder
profit percentage than Mr.. Bush
had expected when he entered
the picture in 1858.
so Pct. Already Cleared
About SO per cent of area B
already Is completely cleared of
slums and the RIA has ACQUIRED
title to more than 80 per cent
Of the property involved. Mr..
Searles said the remainder will
be acquired within he next two
months" and rebuilding was ex-
pected to begin within a year.
The bulk of today's testimony,
however. revolved around the
question Of Federal buildings In

veloper, wants to build. a
