tons are leading toward the
undertaking of life processes
that have heretofore remained
in the realm of mystery. It is
now acknowledged that what
ever else life may be, it is to
an important extent a chem
ical and physical process.
"All this" she went on to
say. means that biology has
moved forward into a wholly

and to seek whatever truth
may be revealed to them"

Farm Prices
On Upgrade.
Morse Says

Even though many farm
people are not sharing ade-
quately in the Nations pros.
perity, agriculture is basically
sound. Undersecretary OF Agri-
culture True D. Morse told
Maryland homemakers yester-
day.
Mr.. Morse spoke during a
general meeting of the 10th
annual Rural Women's Short
Course which vas concluded
yesterday at the University of
Maryland.
THE decline in farm prices
and the parity ratio has not
only been stopped - but has
definitely turned up" he said.
THE most difficult part of the
adjustment for agriculture APP
parently is behind U.S."
Nj. Morse told the women
that the great output of crops,
aided by a good growing sea-
SCI last year. brought on an
unexpected increase in Gov
ernment-owned stocks.
The Soil Bank approach, he
said, emerged in the search for
the hest answer to a lack of
balance between production
and use.
In this connection, he said
far-sighted farmers will fully
restudy their farm and ranch
management plans before lay
ing out their crop programs for
1857 and the years ahead.
There is a great opportunity
to build savings and banking
accounts in their land for flu
ture family security and pros
perity," he continued.
Mr.. Morse predicted. how
ever, that within 20 years we
may need 80 per cent or more
increase in farm products over
what we produced in 1885"
Our experience in World
War II and at the outbreak of
the crisis in Korea indicates
how quickly we can shift from
SURPRISES to deficits" he noted.
The speaker also discussed
the Rural Development Pro-
gram, which he called a pro-
gram to benefit primarily the
family-type farm. Many of the
one million who migrate each
year from farm areas to cities
are young people, he said, and
large numbers of these grow TO
manhood and womanhood in
low-income farm areas. This
is a major reason why all
America has such a vital stake
in the new Rural Development
Program which got underway
last year." he added.

The first of two weeks of pub
lie meetings to acquaint Wash
|ington citizens with new zonine
proposals concluded last night
and officials urged larger turn
outs at five sessions to be held
in the Northwest next week.
Less than 100 residents of the
far Northeast section attended
last nights meeting at Perry
Miller Junior High School, but
citizen and business groups
urged zoning consultant Harold
NJ. Lewis to make numerous
changes in his proposals for that
area.
Col. Thomas B. Hunter, as
Sistant Engineer Commissioner
and Thomas ]. Groom, chairman
of the Citizens zoning Advisory
Committee, said they were dis
appointed in attendance at the
five sessions held in Northeast
and Southeast areas this week
General Understanding
Col. Hunter said the meeting:
are serving the purpose fol
which they were set up" by adj
vising Mr.. Lewis of specific COM
plants about his revision. He
said he also was impressed by
the ability of the average citi-
zen to understand and explain
trouble spots.
Mr.. Groom stressed that hi:
committee, however, wants. a:
extensive comments as possible
from the public to guide it in
its own recommendations on the
controversial Lewis proposals.
Recommendations for changes
last night included lists of CON-
plants submitted by Howard D
Woodson for the Far Northeast
Council of Civic Associations and
Abraham Wolf of the Far North
east Professional and Business
Mems Association.
Most Of the changes they re-
quested involved land now used
for commercial purposes. which
the consultants zoned as resi-
dental areas. Particularly af-
fected are liquor stores. which
are not permitted to operate in
sections.
In addition Mr.. Woodson urged
Mr.. Lewis to modify proposed
standards which require that
building lots be of a certain min
imum size in various residential
areas.

Charles Horsky, president OF
the Washington Housing ASsoci-
alton, said yesterday attempts
are being made Ito subvert" the
efforts to improve the city's
coming regulations.
He called the coming revision
program lone Of the major
efforts We are making toward
urban renewal"
Mr.. Horsky. an attorney, adj
dressed the annual meeting OF
the housing association at the
Hotel Statler.
He noted that Harold M
Lewis, consultant. had invited
criticisms of the coming pro-
posals. Meetings are now being
held in various parts of the city
to explain the program and
obtain reaction.
Negative Position
But there are several groups
which are seeking to subvert the
whole effort" he continued
Ignoring Mr.. Lewis request fol
suggestions those groups
are taking a fiat negative posi-
ton: We don't like it; throw the
proposed draft OF regulations
and Mr.. Lewis out"
They have turned some of the
meetings into sounding boards
Tor attacks on Mr.. Lewis. he
said. The attacks, Mr.. Horsky
added, have been made without
suggesting in any way to meet
existing coming difficulties and
deficiencies.
Mr.. Horsky also urged an ex.
panded central relocation service
to aid those uprooted by urbar
renewal programs. He said also
the housing association would
seek to bring a realization Of the
need for decent, safe and sani-
tary housing for the middle and
low middle income families.

In semidetached areas, for ex-
ample. the Lewis regulations re-
quire that building lots be al
least 80 feet wide, while "tht
prevailing width of lots in this
area is only 25 feet" Mr.. Wood
son said. In detached-homt
areas, he said, many lots are
only 40 feet wide, while the
standards would require 50-foot
widths. The council urged
changes to permit development
on the smaller lots.
Mr.. Woodson also urged that
the new coming standards dis
courage construction of more
flats and apartments in the fal
Northeast.
Fears Public Housing

the area, he said, flats ano
garden apartments might attract
more public housing, and we
