When Bill Chester was a boy,
his friends called him Country"
because he lived in the open
spaces Of Northeast Washington,
Today he is part Of the city's
teeming suburbia. He moved
out Of Washington because he
needed elbow room. and now he
finds the elbow room shrinking
every day.
He is one Of many who picked
suburban life to get away from
the problems Of the city. with
its traffic. crowded schools. close
living quarters and high prop
erty cost. Now he realizes the
city-a more orderly city. but
q city ncnetheless- has caught
UP with him again. His home
is at 1901 Livingston street in
Wheaton, q community which
doomed almost overnight. Since
he moved into the Wheaton
Triangle he has seen the town
double in size-the pattern for
all Of suburban Washington. He
sees 1t growing every day.
Traffic Tells Tale
Il notice it most in the traf-
fic." he said. Il never thought
there'd be a day when I'd get
out Of bed two hours before
was due for work"
Despite its problems, Mr.
Chester likes his life in suburbia.
After he was married in 1916,
he and his wife. Mary, lived In
a two-room apartment on Vista
street in northeast Washington.
Mr.. Chester is q native OF
Washington. His wife was born
on a farm in Frederick County,
but grew up in Rockville.
A baby was on the way In
1913. and Mr.. Chester began
looking around for more living
space.
He found what he thought
he wanted in Sunnybrook. In
Prince Georges County. It was

experts of the other IA NATO
countries. The occasion was the
annual foreign ministers meet
ing Of NATO. One of the main
reasons for such meetings is to
give the experts a chance to talk
over recent developments in So
Wet foreign policy and to decide
among themselves what the
Communist world is up to.
The conclusions of the group
naturally are kept secret, but
here are some Of the views held
by the American delegation
views certainly not far of from
the concensus:
Americans feel Russia is faced
with troubles which may force
some shifts in Communist poll
icy. One problem is what to do
with the satellites. They have
become in some ways a liability
to the Soviet Union.
The satellites have sunk so
low, economically, that Russia
must pour money into them in
stead Of taking it out as in the
good old postwar days. Further

District Abutements
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Congress is considering new
District income tax exemptions
for persons over SIS, the blind
and group Of presidentially ap-
pointed ofIiceholders.
At the same time, 1t was
learned yesterday. city officials
are considering whether to pro-
pose some new taxes. in order
to Offset the proposed cutbacks
and Z move to kill the present
tax on social security benefits,
One such new tax might be q
capital gains levy.
In this connection, Schuyler
Lowe. general administration di-
rector. said he plans a review Of
the Districts entire income tax
structure to see whether 1t can

Federal income tax provisions.
The suggested tax cutbacks.

Iemption, could cost the city

ginia and Mcmillan Of South
Carolina. both members Of the
House District Committee, ini-
tiated the new tax-exemption
moves.
Mr.. Smith last week declared
his intention Of introducing leg
islation to exempt social security
benefits. District officials. who
estimate the change could bene-
fit up to $500 persons and cost
the city up to $4,000 annually
have had this idea under study
for many months but so far have
not taken q STAND on II.
1t was learned yesterday that
Mr.. Smith has now decided to
incorporate in the same legisla-
ton provisions for giving further
tax relief to both the aged and
blind.
District tax experts on Friday
were asked to draft these pro.
visions. and to submit them to.
morrow. AS they now stand, they
would give both those over IS
and blind persons a special $500
exemption.
Tax officials estimated the
blind and over-65 exemptions
might cost the city 100000 an.
nually.

First Round
At Budget
BY JOHN v. HORNER

Former President Truman,
1Adlai Stevenson and an impress
sive array of other influential
Democrats, unleashed a blister
ing attack upon the Eisenhower
administration yesterday as their
party entered an early bid for
victory in the congressional
elections next year and the
presidential race of 1860.
Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Steven
son. joined forces with such
spokesman as Speaker Rayburn,
Gov. Williams of Michigan, and
many members of Congress to
denounce Republican fiscal pol
icies as destructive. accuse the
administration of "politica al
bunk" in handling the budget
and predict Republican defeat
at the polls.
In the course of a long day of
political planning. Speaker Ray
burn served notice that the
Democratic Congress intends to
slash the 1858 budget by from
So billion to SIS billion and also
will vote a cut in taxes. He did
not indicate when the tax re-
duction might be expected.
Truman "Bewildered"
AS principal speaker at a
party Embarrassing dinner last
night in the National Guard
Armory, Mr.. Truman professed
bewilderment at the strange
things" going on in Washington,
but he declared he finds a ray
Of hope in the situation.
Il see great showdown COM
ing in these next few years on
the most critical issues of do
nestle policy" he said in his
prepared remarks. He referred
specifically to the issues of the
budget. fiscal management, high
interest rates. growth of the
economy, exploitation of re-
sources and the spread of mon
opoly.
Il foresee." he said, "a last
great onslaught by the manipu-
lators Of special privilege who
work behind the propaganda
smokescreen Of the present adj
ministration. They are going to
make a last great effort to take
over the economic control Of the
country before they are thrown
out Of office in 1860.

the Democratic leadership I have

Federal Pay
Boosts Blocked

Cordiner Groups
PIuns Rejected
BY Administration
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The administration has re-
iected as too "infiationary" the
Cordiner Committee proposals
regarding pay boosts for military
and civilian personnel.
The Budget Bureau has offic-
tally shelved the proposals fol-
military pay boosts.
And 1t has given notice that

groups pay raise proposals for
civilian employees in grades Z and
above for the same reason.
The Cordiner group, composed
Of some Of the country's top in
dustrialists. already has submit
ted its military pay raise pro-
posals to Defense Secretary VIII
son. Mr.. Wilson, who appointed
the group to study military and
civilian pay problems In the De-
tense Department. sought the
Budget Bureaus views on the
proposals. The Budget Bureaus
rejection followed.
To Submit Cordiner Proposal
The Cordiner committees pay
raise proposal for civilian en-
ployes win be officially submitted
to Secretary Wilson within the
next two weeks. It calls for an
average 10 to IL per cent pay
boost for civilian employees in
grades z and above.
The administrations stand in
opposing Federal pay raises this
year comes as no surprise. Presi-
dent Eisenhower on several oc-
casions has indicated his cool
ness to pay raises at this time.
primarily because of economy
reasons and the fear that such
boosts would set a Nation wide
lnfiationary pattern.
Federal employee leaders argue
that there is now q continuous
round Of pay raises going on
in industry and that the Gov
eminent could not possibly start
an 'infiationary" wage pattern
by giving similar pay raises to
its own employees.
