were to accept such a huge hand
out from any foreign country.
The AnglO-U. S. Offer
der arrangements tenta-
lively worked out last February
with the International Bank and
with the United States and Brit
ish governments, Egypt would
handle 5000 million Of the costs
herself-mostly in labor and in
digenous raw materials for the
dam.
The World Bank would pro-
vide a loan of 5000 million, an
another 5000 million would be
given to Egypt in grants. The
United States Government would
provide $3.50 million of the
grants, Great Britain $50 million
The United States and Great
Britain already have committed
$40 million in grants for the first
phase of the dam building, which
viii take three to four years. The
dam itself will take 10 years to
built, the irrigation projects FIVE
to-eight years longer.

RICHMOND. June 20 (P.-An
hour-long meeting between Gov
Stanley and the State Board OF
Education yesterday failed to
produce any policy announce
ment for public school opera
lions next year.
Mr.. Stanley. in a brief state
ment issued after the meeting,
said he and the board engaged
in "a general discussion Of public
school matters"
It was after a similar confer
ence last June that Virginia's
traditional policy of segregated
schools was reaffirmed for the
1856 school term. That state
ment said localities affected BY
the United States Supreme
Courts anti-segregation decision
of May II, 1854, could not sac
complish an orderly and logical
adjustment within the law" un-
til appropriate legislation" had
been enacted by the General AS

was first in Maryland.
Areas Of the county that were
first to feel this postwar growth
were the Chillum election dis
trict. which encompasses Lang
ley Park and West Hyattsville;
Spauldings election district,
which includes the Suitland and
District Heights sections: the
Berwyn election district, includ-
ing College Park, Berwyn and
Branchville communities, and
the Bladensburg election district.
. which includes the towns of
Bladensburg, Landover Hills and
part of Cheverly.
Chlllum has continued to boom
and is today the biggest election
district in the county, with an
estimated population of about
10000. The other more populous
election districts in urban Prince
Georges. by estimate of the
Washington Board of Trade, are
Spaulding, 40,500; Bladensburg,
27.100; Berwyn, 25,900; Seat
Pleasant. 25.900; Oxon Hill, 49,
500; Hyattsville. $4,000, and
Riverdale, $4,000.
The Hoyt report says the Hy-
attsville, Bladensburg and River
dale election districts have about
reached the saturation point
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-12

and their rate Of growth will
slacken In the future"
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
Both the Hoyt report and
planning experts for the Mary
Iland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission look for
the Oxon Hill district to expert
ence the biggest growth in the
immediate future.
THE most promising area for
immediate future settlement rea-
sonably near the District line is
the Oxon Hill district, south and
southeast of Forest Heights" the
planning commission notes in
Inventory of Community Re-
sources" a booklet issued in
April, 1855.
THE new Jones Point bridge,
the inter-county belt freeway
and the improvement of Indian
Head highway may lead to rapid
urbanization of this general
area" the planners conclude.
The Oxon Hill district is the
closest area to downtown WASH
ington still undeveloped. Driving
time is about Is minutes.
Other areas marked for more
substantial growth, the planners
feel, include:
l. Most of the at-present rural
part of the Spaulding district.
2. The projection out Defense
Highway ". S. 500 toward Lam
ham. This would include De-

Some 725 of the 2,700 homes

The firm has been construct

LoW-coST HOMES:
One big factor in the booming
growth of Prince Georges since
World War II has been the avail
ability of moderate-cost housing.
In this regard, the planning
commission noted in its cominu-
nifty resources booklet:
I'm 1850, the average value of
one-family structures offered for
sale in Prince Georges was SILL
900. This varied from $4.483 in
the Nottingham district to $13,-
270 in the Riverdale district.
Since 1850, some 14,710 single
family detached homes have
been built and offered for sale.
Over 5000 detached units were
