year, they saw nothing drastic
after that but the possibility OF
a settling down of the boom.
Philip M. Talbot, senior vice
president of Woodward g. 10th
rop and president of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association
made this forecast:
Washington and its sur
rounding area will continue to
be one of the most rapidly grow
ing metropolitan districts in the
Nation. In like manner and Of
utmost Importance to Washing
ton itself, is rapid growth of
the States of Maryland Virginia.
Cites Income Level
To-day average incomes in the
Washington area are generally
higher than in most other Sec
tions of the country. When one
takes into account that the ma
tional income average is still
rising. it is reasonable to expect
the higher ratio to continue
here"
Daniel w. Bell, president OF
the American Security and Trust
Co.. said We can expect good
business in Washington so long
as business throughout the
country continues good.
He added that even should
there be a downturn nationally,
Washington would benefit by the
fact that its chief industry" is
government and this provides a
''built-in stabilizer."
George A. Garrett, president
of the Federal City Council and
President Eisenhower's expediter
for Southwest Washington re-
development, told the meeting
that the Southwest project al
ready Is being effective in sta
bilizing values in downtown
Washington.
Predicts Loan Drop
Edward c. Baltz, president of
the Perpetual Building Associa-
ton. said he believed 1856 may
fall a little short of last year in
volume of building loans.
The main reason. he ex-
planned. will probably be the
settling down" of the building
boom.
There is still a good market. "
he said, but the day is gone
when you can build any house
in any location and still be sure
of selling it."
Warren r. Forster, president
Of the Munsey Trust Co.. said
he feels that the first haH Of
the year will continue at a high
pace for business, probably level
ing of and perhaps even turning
slightly downward in the last
six months.
Edwin B. George, director of
economics for Dunn & Brad
street, Inc, addressed a luncheon
meeting of the conference which
was held at the Hotel Statler.
Credit Expansion
He said that the expansion of
credit by SCI billion was respon-
sible for a substantial part of
the 1855 boom. He indicated
we are not going to have any,
thing like that in 1856.
This does not make the re-
cession inevitable" he said. 1--WE
can still manage another yariant
of rolling adjustment if other
parts of the economy come for
ward as advertised"
He pointed to many hopeful
elements in the economy, but
added that it is unlikely that an
advance can continue through
this year without some aid from
tax reductions.
One difficulty, he explained, is
that with frightening INSTALL
ment maturities and smaller
down payments, growing portions

ture years have been pledged for

husband is an outdoors man who
likes hunting, fishing and golf.
Each month or so. it seems. he
comes home with some new piece
OF equipment. My problem is.
where can ! store it?"
This situation is not as I'M
usual as you might at first
imagine. Most frequently, fish,
ing gear. hunting equipment and
golf clubs are stored in the back
corners of the hall closet or.
sometimes, even in the bedroom
closet. There they take up space
needed for clothes. shoes and
other items Of daily use. and at
the same time are subject to ex-
cessive dust and possible damage.
A more satisfactory solution
for the do-it-yourselfer is to pick
an unused corner in the apart
ment and build a sports or hobby
center cabinet. 1t is easy if you
mark off the pieces of material
you will need and have them cut
to exact size when you buy them.
There are two basic types of
sports cabinet. and the one you
hdild depends primarily on the
available space. One type meas
ures about "a inches wide. II
inches deep and about seven feet
high. The door is hung so that
1t clears the floor by about three
and-one-half inches. This lower
part is covered with a Dashboard.

Is divided into four sections by
a vertical partition located about
In the middle of the floor of the
cabinet, and by horizontal $ir-
tition about 48 inches above the
cabinet floor.
Items such as golf clubs and
guns can be stored in the lower

Good physical condition has

Al Dorow, who had one Of the
biggest days of his pro career
with IA competitions in Is
attempts for 1876 yards and one
touchdown, gladly paid off 81
bet he'd made that the Giants
would wrap up the title by whip
ping the Browns. He'd like the
same deal next Saturday -
hoping he loses again.
Dorow said there was never a
doubt in his mind that the Red
skins would score on their final
drive. His chief concern was the
clock. He didn't want to be
caught mapping and let time ex-
pire before Baker kicked. He
drew it pretty fine at that.
Bakers staunchest supporter
was Mrs. Baker, naturally. The
attractive brunei shouted and
clapped hands every time Sam
Ipunted. More important, she
carefully counted the yardage OF
each kick. But when Sam de-
Il1vered the days masterpiece, his
ever-loving had left the uncov-
cred stands to seek a dryer spot
No doubt she saw the kick.
