New Decline
IsSeen for
Home Output

New housing construction will
decline more in 1856 than ex-
pected earlier but utilities, pri-
vate industrial buildings, and
highways, will show greater
gains, the Labor and Commerce
Departments reported this week.
New construction expenditures
are expected to total $44.5 billion
in 1856, or 4 per cent above last
years record of S43 billion, &C
cording to revised outlook esti-
mates prepared jointly by the
agencies.
Supplies of building materials
should be adequate. with in
creased plant capacity and high
productivity preventing all but
minor or spot shortages. Con-
struction costs are expected to
continue to rise moderately.

utilizing the same chimney. The
fireplace structure extends to the
outside patio where it functions
also as a barbecue. The fireplace
in the den is of used red brick.
while the one in the living room
is of new brick.
Knotty pine walls in the den
extend almost to the pine
beamed ceiling. leaving only a
narrow margin of plaster to
complete the pattern. A door
on the rear wall opens onto the
patio and at the other end a
side door opens into, the living
room.
Separating the living room
from the entrance foyer is a
waist-high knotty pine divider
whose top serves as a decorative
planter. The fireplace wall in
the living room is covered to
the ceiling in knotty pine. while
the other walls and the ceiling
are plaster. The rear wall has
one wide window that runs al
most the entire wall length. turns

dwelling units will be started
this year, compared with an
earlier estimate of 100000 for
1856, and a 1855 total of $780,
900, the agencies said.
On a seaSonally adjusted basis,
private starts during the first 5
months of this year were at an
annual rate slightly below l.
$50, 900.
The decline in new home
building is expected to be greater
than previously anticipated be-
cause funds for long-term, low
down-payment mortgages at low
interest rates have remained
relatively scarce for a longer
period than was forseen last
November.
However, increased OUTLAWS for
highways. privaLe industrial
plants, utilities. and commercial
buildings will probably more
than Offset the decrease in new
housing activity. Expenditures
for each of these nonresidential
categories are expected to reach
a new record volume in 1856.

Chide Dulles

The State Department Eek
planned" a refusal by Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dull
les to receive a group of 16
New York Democratic mem
bers of Congress who wanted
to see him on the Arab-Israel
issue. Rep. Emanuel Celler,
dean of the delegation, said
the group questioned Secre-
tary Dulles motives" in refus-
ing to see them
State Department spokes-
man Lincoln White said that
Secretary Dulles feels that re-
ception of New York Demo
cratic Congressman on the Is
rael issue might establish a
precedent by which he would
have to see delegations from
the other Al states. Secretary
Dulles made it clear that be-
cause of lack of time he could
not see Individual state dele
cations but was ready to see
any group of Republicans or
Democrats selected on a ma
tion-Wide basis, Mr.. White
said.
Accusing Secretary Dulles
of "discourtesy," the Con-
gresham said he had given
no reason but had arbitrarily
refused to grant the request
ed appointment. They held
that Mr.. Dulles Cannot face
the challenge of meeting 16
members face to face, most
particularly when he is well
aware that this delegation is
thoroughly cognizant of the
issues at stake and their rela-
ton to the maintenance of
peace between Israel and the

the rights of American cltl-
ZenS.
To counteract this discrim-
ination against A m erica n
Jews, the delegation asked the
State Department to adopt the
following measures:
l. To instruct George Wads-
worth, U. S. Ambassador to
Saudi Arabia, now renegotiat-
ing the Dhahran Air Base
lease, to insist upon provisions
that would allow the U. S. to
assign military and civilian
personnel to that base without
regard to their religious affili-
ations;
2. To prevent Arab states
from discriminating against
American Jewish businessmen
in their purchases in the U. S.
made possible by U. S. econo-
mic assistance to such states;
3. To protest directly to
these Arab countries and in
the u. N. their refusal to is
sue entry or transit visas to
American citizens solely be-
cause of their religion.
The Arizona post., 1956-07-06

Mr.. Rountree expressed the
State Department disapproval
of the discriminatory prac-
tees but gave no assurance,
that any protest would be.
made. Following the meeting,
DR.. Goldstein said, "The fail
ure of the State Department
to take appropriate action
does not mean the end of this
matter. We intend to let the
American people know that
the State Department is un-
willing to make effective pro-
test against a Well-organiZed
and intensive campaign by the.
Arabs against Am eric an
Jews"
DR.. Goldstein added that
American taxpayers will par
ticularly resent the fact that
their tax dollars are being
used to import anti-Semitism
into this country and to make
it possible for Arab states to
carry on their boycott against
American citizens solely be-
cause of their religion.

reiterated his opposition to a
preventive war" which he
characterized as "sheer mad
ness" but he made it clear that
Israel would fight to repel any
Arab aggression. He left no
doubt that Israel would not
permit persistent border vio-
lations to go unchallenged.
The premier's reference to
the Security Council and his
charge that its surrender to
verbal terroriZation by the
Arabs had impaired its moral
status indicated to many OBJ
servers that Israel, in future,
would look less to the U. N.
and more to its own potential.
It was considered significant
that the premier scolded Sec
retary General Hammarskjold
for failure to make clear in his
report IsraeFs declared inten-
ton to observe the letter and
spirit of the armistice agree
ments only so long as the
other side equally observed
