OLD LANDMARKS, seen
often enough on the ground,
look like toys. The Capitol,
appearing even smaller than
its plaster model, looks as if
it could be lifted with one
hand.
The Pentagon appears to be
a Chinese coin dropped on a
laWn-hole in the middle and
all. The Lincoln and Jefferson
Memorials squat restfully
apart in their wide settings.
Fort Washington, long
outmoded as a defense, stands
on its prominence as if pro-
testing that it still could pro-
tect the city from invading
fleets bent on pillage. It's mag
azines hold no powder now
merely the overflow of mu-
scum relics, like the relic of
past glory the fort itself has
become.
Scars in the ground tell of
the city'S faSt-paced growth,
and the uneasy prospect of
heavier and heavier traffic to
the Su burbs. From here it
seems that everywhere around
the city earth is being scooped
out of the green to make
room for the urgent subur-
ban boom.
The pattern of housing de-
velopments, row on row of
homes set to dictate the mode
of family living for a lifetime
or for generations, is equally
frightening. These bring a
fleeting thought of a news
note half read in the hurry of
the day before-that in Mont
gomery County alone, 1000
people are moving in each
month. And the oft-repeated
question arises once more:
Where are they all coming
from?

THE WHOLE is flecked with
the rainbow colorS of the
rooftopS, set against the
whites of Government stone
and marble. The downtown
pattern of these roofs still is
a hodgepodge.
The most beautiful sight
is the Potomac, hurrying
through the city on its way
to the bay. From here it, too,
seems a deep green, tinged
with blue. Its odd fat-and-
thin shape is more pro-
nounced. The Tidal Basin
looks like a wading pool.
As the big plane drops
down toward the airport
there is enough wind to raise
ripples on the water, chang
ing the blue and green to gold
as the small waves catch and
reflect the low afternoon sun.
Odd for such a bright day,
there are few craft on the
river to disturb the water.
From side window, as the
plane edges in, the river seems
wider than ever.
There's enough to be seen
to make it worth while to take
an occasional look at the city
from the air.
Rambling
A lady we know said she
was in a hurry to get to the
office the other day but that
her taxicab got behind a slow
poke driver who seemed to be
more intent on something on
the seat beside him than he
was on his driving. When the
car ahead stopped for a traf-
fic light, the driver picked up
a newspaper, folded it to a
new page, and laid it back
down on the seat. :.

FOOL MISTAKES
were KEEPING
NE BROKE
So I Sent $6 to The
Wall Street Journal

I always seemed to do things
wrong. For example, sold some
land when prices were low. ]
bought a new home when prices
were high.
Then one day ! picked up copy
Of The Wall Street Journal. ! saw
right away that it had the facts !
needed to help me in my personal
affairs and in my job. So sent So
for Trial Subscription.
The Journal not only tells me
how to earn more money = it also
tells me how to get more value for
the money / spend. An automotive
article helped me trade in my old
car at the right time. Articles on
food and clothing point out the
things to stock up on in order to
save money. Articles on taxes guide
me on what to do to keep my taxes
down.
This story is typical. Because the
reports in The Wall Street Journal
come to you daily, you get quick
warning Of any new trend that
may affect your income. You get
the facts in time to protect your
interests or seize a profit. The
Journal is a wonderful aid to
salaried men making $1,000 to
$4,000 q year. 1t is valuable to
owners of small business concerns.
It can be of priceless benefit to
ambitious young men.
The Wall Street Journal is the
complete business DAILY. Has
largest staff of writers on BUSH

Summer Brings
Warming News
To Business
BY WALTER BREEDE, Jr.
Associated Press Business Writer

Associated Press BUSINESS writer
NEW YORK, June 2S.--Sum-
mer's advent brought warming
news this week to businessmen
in varied lines.
Basking in the sunshine were
department store executives, ma
chine tool manufacturers. freight
car builders. furniture makers,
heavy construction engineers
and others.
Even in depressed Detroit
business quickened. Ford made
"a last-minute change in its pro-
duction plans--a sudden dect-
sion to increase July output 8
per cent above the rate origi-
nally planned. The reason: ITO
meet higher demand for new
cars"
An upward change was an
nounced, too. in the Govern
ment's official estimate Of 1856
construction spending. The new
estimate is $44.5 billion, a gain
of 31a per cent over 1855.
The dark spot in the con-
struction picture is home build
ing-the forecast here has been
revised downward.
The big question mark is the
steel industry. Company-union
wage talks ran into a series of
snags; at weeks end both sides
were making preliminary prepa-
rations for a possible strike after
the June 80 contract deadline.

about one-fourth of what we're
now annually spending on de-
Tense.
Out Of this spending will come
an interstate network Of super
highways. involving 10000 miles
or more and linking Just about
every city Of $4,000 popula-
ton or over.
Out Of it will come highways
OF six and eight lanes wide lead
ing into just about every city of
100000 population or over.
Out Of 1t will come overpasses
and underpasses. electronic de.
vices and new safety signs-driv-
ing improvements few of us can
even imagine today.
In short we are about to start
overcoming the gaps in our high.
way system created by the com.
