Margin Requirement Raised to 7O3o to Check Stock Market Credit

WASHINGTON, R-Investors, starting last Saturday, must put up at least 70 percent cash in buying stocks
 The Federal Reserve Board on Friday night boosted margin re- quirements from so percent in a move designed to check the use of credit on the rising stock market This was the second such increase in less than four months. On Jan. 5 the board raised margin re- quirements from 50 to so percent.
 First reaction on Wall Street was a forecast that the market probably would decline when it reopens Monday, then recover few days later. One observer said the increase is mot large enough to change the course of the mar ket."

Vaccine Priority To Be AllOcated by Voluntary Means

WASHINGTON, REThe gov- ernment moved by voluntary means today to assure that the Salk polio vaccine goes first to those who need it most.
 Secretary of Welfare Hobby said she will name national ad- visory committee of seven or nine members to suggest allocations by states.
 Each state is expected to set up it's own system of priorities for handling it's share of the vac cine.
 The plan, approved by Presi- dent Eisenhower Friday, will not have any effect on the free immu- nization of first and second grade school children already under way under auspices of the Ma tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
 It applies only to the furnish ing of supplies to doctors for ad- miniStering to those not covered by the free program.
 In a formal statement after the conference, Mrs. Hobby said sta tistics showed that an estimated 25,60O,000 children can be vaccin- ated by July l, but that almost no commercial supplies are avail able now. The free school pro- gram is getting the first quanti- ties.

 When Magnuson asked if there are plans afoot for closing of the Seattle Port of Embarkation, the generals all replied, ."No."

Avery Beats Wolfson In Battle for Control Of Montgomery Ward

CHICAGO Rt-How bad a beat ing Sewell Avery gave Louis Wolfson in the battle for control of Montgomery Ward and Co. was the only question remaining today.
 Election inspectors are count ing the votes cast at yesterdays annual stockholders meeting. The final decision will not be known for about three weeks.
 Sewell Avery won. And Louis Wolfson lost. The only point at which they disputed one another was to how many friends Wolfson would have with him at Wards director meetings over the next year
 Wolfson said he took at least three seats, leaving six on the nine-man board for Avery. The Avery forces contended Wolfson took two, leaving seven for Av- cry. Wolfson said he might pos sibly" have taken four.

That figure could double in the
next 10 years. some observers
believe. For one thing many
sizable tracts only recently were
classed as eligible for dense SUBJ
divisions. having been restricted
to agricultural or small estate
uses. 49,.
Development, too. was held
back by the lack Of water and
sewer facilities. Small water
companies were set up to provide
water for individual subdivisions.
In some cases the supply was
adequate for the original homes,
but for little more.
Sewage Problem Thorny
Sewage disposal has been q
thorny problem. The clay and
good loan" which Washington
found satisfactory for growing
crops has been less than salts
factory for the operation Of
septic tanks.
Arthur Shaffer, county SUPER
visor representing the Mount
Vernon district, says a cen
tralized water system is the
primary need of the area, fol-
lowed by a co-ordinated plan Of
sewer lines in sections that do
not already have them.
He says the county should
have had jurisdiction over the
size of water lines built by
developers. |

homes were in the $11, 900 class.
AS its Mount Vernon area enter
lpriseS expanded, it's homes rose
in quality and price, in response
to the market.
Proximity in minutes, a IA
vorite index for commuters in
the Washington area, proved to
be a prime lure for new resi-
dents. The area is sandwiched
between U. S. l and the Mount
Vernon boulevard. The boulevard
was built primarily for traffic
heading for the Mount Vernon
historical shrine, but proved
handy as a commuters lane.
One of the biggest of the new
developments, Stratford, uses
the boulevard as its egress. Lo-
Gated on the River Farm" Of
Washington's holdings, across
Little Hunting Greek from the
ladies' association property. this
development typifles a trend in
home construction in the area.
Architecture Colonial
The architecture is sensitive
to the locale. Home styles tend
toward the Colonial, a trend to
which the developers apparent
ly respond quickly.
For Mount Vernon" remains
a magic name. While the home
owners - Federal Government
workers plus a goodly number
from National Airport enter
prises-may be just seeking
homes in a congenial neighbor-
hood, business in the Mount
Vernon area is tied to the pres
ence of the Washington home
stead.
Along Route for miles, scores
of enterprises thrive on the tour
ist industry.

the Penn-Daw Hotel at Grove

enterprises has speeded UP

Houses Springing Up
Around the remnant of his
1899 estate-the ATS acres held
by the Mount Vernon Ladies' AS
sociation of the Union, pro-
tectors of his homestead-houses
are springing up as fast as
hands can lay brick or hammer
nails.

In 1946 the stretch Of Route
Il between Hunting Greek and
Belvoir had 500 rooms for tour
lists. Today the same stretch
has 1900. plus a half dozen new
restaurants, Mr.. Dawson says.
In the Snake Hill area alone
there is 81 million in assessed
property in businesses, accord
ing to Supervisor Shaffer.
Business growth led to the
formation a year ago Of a per-
manent headquarters for the
Mount Vernon-Lee Chamber OF
Commerce. a sure sign by Ameri-
can standards of a burgeoning
community.
Mr.. Dawson recalled that a
few years ago there was talk
of a city of Mount Vernon" The
talk died out. but it was indica-
tive Of the prospects anticipated
for the section.
Now that city facilities are
tanning out over the district, he
expects rapid development. In

for the schools athletic teams led
to the building of the stadium
adjacent to the school.
The schools band, which has
won a caseful Of trophies, Is
strongly supported by the par
ent-teacher association and the
Band Boosters Club.
On a day-to-day basis, the
PTA's biggest contribution to the
school is the operation of a
clinic.
It is natural that schools
should win great share of at
tention in an area like the Mount
Vernon district, whose residents
mostly are young-with young
children.
Such concern over education
would have been applauded by
the 1899 master of Mount Vernon
who, in his last will and testa-
