Output Down Sharply
The Bureau of Labor Stats

number of new homes started
in February was the lowest since
the corresponding month OF
1949. This was a decline of II
per cent from a year ago.
In the first two months of this
year, home construction was

this brought the annual rate

somewhat. in the realm Of
semantics-and naturally leads
to another question: Why was
the extra $500 million included
in the first place?
Savings" Listed
Under Mr.. Coles cutback pro-
poSals:
. There would be 500 million
less to encourage construction
Of low-cost private housing for
low income families, new housing
in cleared-off slum sections and
rehabilitation of homes in such
areas. to build cooperative
housing, and to push other
housing projects that were
originally believed to be neces-
sary.
. There would be a SIS million
cut in the amount available in
Federal funds to encourage COM
munities to get started on urban
renewal undertakings.
0 There would be reduction
of s25 million in the amount to
be made available for college
housing.
Looked at more closely. the
cutback proposals don't have, as
their total effect, a saving" Of
500 million.
Fully S10C million of the So
called saving represents cut in

eral National Mortgage Associa-

money, it would not spend" it
at all. The money would be
used by the Government largely
for the purpose of investing in
home mortgages-many of them
of a type specially designed for
the family of moderate or low
income.
The Government would not be
giving the money to anyone. or
spending it.
Through FNMA, it would be in
vesting it with homes as security
for the investment.

the Chase Manhattan bid by a
two-to-one ballot. Voting to re-

Mr.. Raul pointed out that the

.urgedbyLdne

Engineer Com m issioner
Thomas A. Lane last night re-
newed his campaign to take Dis
trict Government budget details
out Of the hands Of Congress.
Gen. Lane said there is no
longer "any logic" in the system
which requires Congress to pass
upon every item Of the District
of Columbia appropriation"
He suggested that Congress
should withdraw from such de-
tailed consideration Of the Dis
trict budget. since 1t has long
since given up paying the so per
cent Of District costs which origi-
|nally was part of the system.
Congress has far weightier ma
tional and world problems to
consider. he said.
Residents Bear Load
Last night. speaking on
IWWDC's Report to the People. .
Gen. Lane declared:
81 see no reason why any
part Of our budget should ap-
pear In the Federal budget each
year except for the Federal pay
ment."
The District finances the great
bulk Of its organizations with
taxes from its own citizens. The
Federal payment is only a small
part Of the Districts general
fund revenues, he said.
Gen. Lane said that even If
Congress retains its detailed con-
troll over District budgets. the
method Of presentation should
be changed.
Would Detail Services
For one thing. he said, items
Of District appropriations COW
cred by the Federal payment
should be identified" in the
presentation. Congress should
be shown plainly what water
services, sewer. police services
and so on are being provided to
the Federal Government by the
District in the budget presenta-
ton.
Because this has not been
done In the past. Gen. Lane said,
many Congressman who do not
have q close acquaintance with
District affairs are left with the
illusion that the Federal pay
ment Is only an outright gift in
stead Of a payment for actual
services"
Gen. Lane on Thursday at q
Virginia Beach CVa) convention
of the Washington Real Estate
Board said that "as long as the
citizens Of the District seem to
be divided on the question OF
home rule" it might serve the
interests Of all better If civic
leaders got behind q campaign
to change budget procedures.
THAT way we could have one OF
the major benefits Of home rule

home rule could come later"
