Area B-Testinq Ground

The Redevelopment Land Agency's
dificulty in selecting q developer for
Project Area in Southwest Washington
was caused primarily by the excellent
qualifications OF the two top bidders. It
was hard to choose between them, and
that choice was subject to additional
delay by reason Of Chairman Remon's
understandable hope that the ANAL deci-
sion Of the agency's five-man board would
be unanimouS-as all Of It's prior deci-
sionS have been.
The selection, by 3-to-2 vote, Of
New York syndicate, over the competing
bid Of a Washington group headed by
/. S. Turnover, may have been prompted
by such intangible considerations as pre-.
viouS experience in the field of urban
redevelopment. Certainly the choice is
no reflection on the qualifications OF the
loser. II the expectations concerning the
ability Of the New York group, headed
by James L. Scheuer and Roger L. Ste
vens, are JUSTIFIED by performance, there
should be other opportunities to sustain
the welcome interest Of the Turnover In
tereSts In other parts Of urban redevel-
opment yet to come.
Area B, in fact, will be the hrst test
OF redevelopment in the Washington
area. A successful undertaking in that
area will tend to encourage others, while
failure-a there has already been one
disappointing failure there-may delay
all Washington redevelopment indefinite
i ~. Those who are closest to the problem
have every hope that the New York syn
dictate possesses not only the financial
resources, but the experience elsewhere
and the qualified personnel 50 essential
TO success.
Area B has already been cleared Of
Its slums. Their former occupants have
been housed elsewhere. Now comes the
test Of the ability Of combination Of
public and private enterprise to survive
the entanglements Of red tape, win the
approval by various agencies of detailed
plans, and proceed to the transformation
Of blighted section of the city to an
attractive residential area, yielding In
creased local revenues and inviting highly
desirable residents.

SPIRES or THE SPIRIT

We are always being intro
duced to other people. Con-
stantly. In all sorts Of ways.
our circle Of acquaintance Is
being widened. The dirnen-
sions Of our lives largely de-
pend on the people we have
met. OF course, often, a mere
introduction may mean little
to either party involved. But
the familiar formula, "Mr.
Brown meet Mr.. JONES'" may
potently color each PERSONAL
ity thus coming face to face
for the FIRST time. The fasci-
nation Of every social setting
lies largely in the individuals
one may meet. The richness
of a personality depends to a
great extent on the variety of
persons who are welcomed In
the living room OF ones sym-
pathy and understanding.
One Of the most vicious
charges hurled at Mans Best
Man by the stiff -necked Phari-
sees was: He Is willing to
meet and associate with the
wrong people. He Is even
friendly with publicans and
sinners. That habit OF Jesus
suggests a pertinent question
which goes to the very center
both Of how much use you are
in life and also how much JOY
you get out of It: How many
people do you know? How
many kinds of people can YOU
get interested in? Just mice"

ENCOURAGING M. Stevenson

Senator Lehman's formal declaration
Of preference for Adlai Stevenson as the
Democratic nominee for President Is a
significant move in the early maneuver-
ing now going ontwithin that party. For
nearly 80 years the veteran New York
Senator and former Governor has been q
powerful figure in the politics Of his state
and his influence Is considerable In the
national councils Of his party. And what
ever the long-term impact of Mr.. Leh-
mans announcement, the immediate
effect Is to jeopardize the hopes Of sup
porters Of Governor Hartman for solid
90-vote pro- Hartman delegation at the
national convention.
Actually, the exact political plans Of
Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.. Hartman have
not yet been revealed. The former has
promised statement of his intentions
next month. Meanwhile, he has been
making speeches and comforting with
party leaders In various sections of the
country-including meeting with Mr..
Lehman In New York early last week.
His latest pronouncement--a commit
ment to 300 Of parity farm price sup
portS-Just about casts the die as far as
Mr.. Stevenson Is concerned Mr.. Harri-
man, on the record early as being "for"
Mr.. Stevenson, since then has qualified
his position by saying he does not feel
morally bound" to support the 1852
candidate in the 1856 convention. In
further explanation, the Governor said
he was not entirely free agent" since
he win be member Of the New York
State delegation--not yet pledged ON
cially to any candidate. The prospect
of split within the delegation, height
ened by Mr.. Lehman's declaration, may
force the Governor to make choice not
entirely free Of embarrassment to him.
Coincident with this pro-Stevenson
development in New York, the former
Illinois Governor received an encouraging
boost in another key State, California,
whose convention delegation ranks with
that Of Pennsylvania as second In size.
A Newspaper poll Of the California state
Democratic Central Committee gave 90
per cent support to Mr.. Stevenson, with
only per cent favoring Senator Ke-
fauver of Tennessee and per cent favor
ing Governor Hartman. Since Senator
Kefauver was an easy winner Of the 1852
California Democratic primary although
Mr.. Stevenson was not entered-this
current showing of Stevenson strength
may hold a meaning both in and out Of
that State. One Of the important deci-
sions Mr.. Stevenson must make, If he is
to be candidate, is whether he viii enter
next years California primary.
There will be many other develop
mepts and decisions before the party lines
are firmly drawn. None Of the top three
prospects is yet committed although all
appear to be testing the political winds
with lively interest.

Ghost Story

On October Is, 1905, The
Star reported on a police in
vestigation Of spiritualists near
Twelfth and T streets NV.
The story told Of the arrest Of
q man and wife accused OF
larceny by trick, and went on:
THE warrant was issued at the
request OF Sergt. Bode, who
says he went to the house last
Monday night for the first time
to witness the performance
and to find out If 1t was all
that it claimed to be. The
number in the audience. he
said. was 10. Sergt. Bode,
dressed as a citizen. says he
took a place as any member
Of the audience and waited for
developments. Soon after the
lights were turned out. Sergt.
Bode says. one Of the spirits
of a friend or relative Of some
one In the audience appeared
from q cabinet in one end Of
the room. It appeared giostly,
and the sergeant says he re-
NAMED in his seat to watch.
Then the second appearance Of
one Of the spirits was made.
At this Sergt. Bode jumped to
where 1t was and reached out
for q part Of the white gar
ment. He felt something solid,
and there was O struggle to be
free. Then another spirit he
says, interfered, and that was
grabbed BY the officer"

High-Speed Economy

It Is no longer really news that 1855
has been year of booming prosperity for
the country-despite the relative softness
in the farm segment of our economy.
Nevertheless, It Is indeed an impressive
report that the Presidents Council OF
Economic Advisers has made in its third
quarterly review, showing that the coun-
try's production Of goods and services is
rolling along at record annual rate of
1892 billion. This figure reflects trend
that has been constantly upward since
the last half Of 1854 and there is evidence
that it will continue to rise at least
through the final quarter of this year.
The gross national product for all of 1854
amounted to $360.5 billion.
Within the record high rate itself
there are further gratifying factors. For
while Federal Government spending APP
pears to have settled on a steady plane
in mid 1855, and residential construction
actually tapered of in the third quarter
from peak that many believed inse-
curely high, consumer buying and capital
investment by the business community
continued to RISE Along with this, there
was only nominal increase in inven-
tories-indicating no piling up Of surplus
goods or overloaded shelves.
Coinciding with the Councils report,
and supporting the belief that no drastic
showdown Of current good times is in sight
Immediately, were speeches delivered by
two high-ranking Government officials
before an investment bankers group in
New York. Vice President Nixon, en-
phaSizing the conservative nature of the
Administrations economic policies and
their long-term implications, made this
prediction: "As long as we are not PAN
licked into doing things wrong, as long as
we avoid the panaceas, the economic
pep-pills with the awful letdown, and as
long as we remain true to the economic
principles which have made America
great, we can face the future with con-
fdence." And perhaps even more en-
couraging, since he is not a partisan
spokesman, was the prediction of Chair
man william McChesney Martin Of the
Federal Reserve Board, as follows: I'm the
absence of war or serious conflict among
our people over political or social aims,
the road to substantially higher stand
ard of living lies ahead of us as clear and
as smooth as our modern turnpikes."
There Is an understandable tendency
to be wary Of overoptimism in economics,
There is. also, a tendency to be critical on
partisan political grounds. But the fig-
ures on gross national income, and the
many other statistics by which the state
Of our economy can be measured, are
nonpartisan in themselves. They make
good and encouraging reading,
