Home builders in the
Washington area are expert
encing their most active year
since 1855.
BY the end Of July. they
had obtained authorizations
to build nearly $4,000 new
dwelling units. This was
IS per cent above the num-
Der for the first Z months
of last year and over 1000
units ahead of the same
period in 1856.
This area is sharing the
Nationwide upturn in hous-
ing construction resulting
from liberalization of terms
on Governmental backed mort
cages by the Emergency
Housing Act of 1858 and the
greater availability of mort
gage funds.

new apartments were author

total includes GIT units of
low-rent public housing. But
it does not include 6l8 units
Of military housing being con-
structed in Fairfax County,
Va. which are single-family
and duplex-type structures.
Sales housing construction
also is up substantially over
the relatively low levels of

of more than 215,0O0 new

Good News-if Correct

White House Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty has announced that Presi-
dent Eisenhower expects TO present an
other balanced budget-perhapS with
"Slight surplus"-to Congress this
month. No tax reductions win be rec.
commended, he emphasized, and Con-
gress will be asked to extend for another
year. as it has done repeatedly in the
past, the present corporation income
and excise tax rates now sheduled to
drop on April l. Maintenance of these
rates involves revenue estimated at close
to IS billion annually. At the same time,
Mr.. Hagerty said that no tax increases
should be required to achieve the
budget balance.
Taken at face value. Mr.. Hagerty's
announcement must be considered good
news for more than one reason. A
return to deficit financing would be un-
fortunate and undoubtedly would re-
quire another raising of the SITS billion
debt limit, at least temporarily. 1t
would. also. give new impetus to the
infiationary pressures which have shown
some slight signs of easing in recent
months.
= But there is a further cheering i'm
plication in the Hagerty prediction.
Although he declined to specify any
f1gures-either for expenditures or reve-
nues-it is widely reported that the
administration expects to call for record
peacetime expenditures Of about STA
billion for fiscal 1859, or about 50 billion
more than in the present year. Secre-
tary Of Defense McElroy alreadv has
talked publicly of military spending OF
$40 billion, accounting for the net
budget increase. And while admin
iStration spokesman have discussed
savings on nondefense programs, there
are expanded plans for Federal aid to
education and hopes for an increase in
foreign economic assistance. II the STA
billion estimate Is correct and can still
be managed within a balanced budget,
however, the revenue estimates must be
based upon an anticipated good business
year in fiscal 1859.
The national economy in the latter
part of calendar 1857 has been in a
showdown generally expected to extend
into the new year. Many economists
and Government authorities, however,
predict improvement by midyear-pre-
sumably in time to bring fiscal 1859
revenues up TO the level needed for the
balanced budget. II they are right. Mr..
Hagerty, in his turn, could be correct
and the country should be cheered
accordingly.

Mr.. Benz urion's critics--both In and
out Of government--were trading on
this fact In their exploitation Of the
issue. In addition. q seemingly strange
twist to the Notwithstanding some
doubt that the Israeli mission actually
intended to seek arms at all-developed
when a West German spokesman said
his country has no arms for sale and
that. in any event, the Bonn govern
ment would not approve such sales
either to Arabs or Israelis. The fact that
West Germany is seeking to re-establish
a prewar German economic stake in the
Middle East tends to support the belief
that 1t would hesitate to supply arms
to either side In that divided area.

Promoter of Parks

Frank T. Gartside, who has retired
as assistant superintendent of National
Capital Parks after 43 years with the
Interior Department, grew up with
Washington's parks and helped to nur-
ture them to their present beauty and
size. He can take with him into re-
tirement the pleasant knowledge that
he was major contributor to the park
and parkway program of the Nations
Capital.
Mr.. Gartside we'll remembers when
some of the city's more attractive scenic
spots were swamp areas or tangles Of
underbrush. One of his first contacts
with our parks as a Federal employe
was as leader Of survey party IN what
is now East Potomac Park-then emery
Ing from its mud-fiats status. He was
made chief Of what was known as the
Parks Division, an agency reporting to
the White House in connection with
development of Washingtons parks.
That division was the predecessor Of
National Capital Parks, OF which he
became assistant head In 1898.
While Mr.. Gartside's responsibilities
extended to District parks in general,
much Of his work in recent years had
to do with Identification and mainte-
nance OF the White House and It's
grounds. 1t was in special appreciation
OF the latter services that President Ell
Senhower commended him for his thor
ough knowledge Of the history. tradi-
lions and management Of the Executive
Mansion" Earlier Mr.. Gartside had re-
ceived the Interior Departments high

Ben-Gurion at Boy

Israel and its durable Prime Min
ister, David Ben-Gurion, are going
through political crisis in which some
OF the precise causes are obscure Resig-
nation Of the Ben-Gurion cabinet has
been accepted, but the veteran strong
man OF Israeli political life already is
discussing the makeup Of a new govern
ment under his own leadership.
In the background of the republics
political troubles, past and present, are
two long-term factors. One is the I'M
easy and always potentially explosive
relationship with the neighboring Arab
states-a way Of life that has kept
Israel under constant economic pres
sure and has prompted continuing con-
Germ about its military strength. The
other is the fact that the country has
an oversupply Of political parties
ranging from extreme right to extreme
left and consistently requiring coalition
control Of government. Although Mr..
Ben-Gurion's own Mapai Party Is the
country's strongest, holding 40 seats in
the l20-member Knesset, his latest cabi-
net was formed through coalition with
four other parties. A break with two
OF these minority groups, the left-wing
Ahdut Avoda and Mapam Parties, pre-
cipitated the current crisis. Both parties
profess to strongly neutralist policies,
but they have been increasingly critical
Of the West and Of Mr.. Ben urion's
own leanings toward the West.
The break came when some OF these
dissenting ministers leaked" to the
press report that the Prime Minister
was attempting to negotiate the pur-
chase. Of arms from West Germany.

Wives Social Security

Probably millions Of wives
who have quit Jobs covered
by social security have asked
the question aScribed by Ray
Henry to a MRS. H. q. j."
in his article headed wives
Who Quit Jobs Retain Bene-
fit Rights" in The Star Of
December 80.
Her question is. "Will / ever
be entitled TO social security
for all my work."
The true answer is that
what you will get. II any,
thing. depends on the future
the social security law has
been, and doubtless will be.
changed from time to time.
Its provisions in effect when
you seek benefits will be APP
piled to the facts in your
particular case.
Under existing law. TO re-
ceive monthly social security
benefits based on the recipi-
ent's prior work. a minimum
qualifying work requirement
must be met. This varies
all the way from having $50
or more in covered work In
six calendar quarters to hav-
ing such work In 40 calendar
quarters. The required num-
Der depends on the date the
person In question was born,
and. under certain circum-
stances, on whether they
have been disabled. The orig
inal requirement has been
modified several times by
Congress. Since the 1885
amendments. the 40-quarter
rule applies 10 women born
after 1908.
A very substantial fraction
OF married women fail to
work in 40 calendar quar-
ters-the equivalent OF 10
years. Thus. under existing
law. II born after 1908. they
can never qualify fer bene-
fits based on their wage rec
ord This may or may not
be changed by Congress. AS
would be expected from the
heading Of Henry's article.

In the matter Of express
roads in the District Of CO.

which they prefer-being

press roads through park

conflicts. but II there is q
choice between these and the
using Of q small part Of
parkland for safe trafiic ar
teries to prevent human suf-
fering and death. the latter
should take precedence. How
ever. in this case both can
be had.
Modern roads impose a
costly burden on taxpayers.
so It is ridiculous TO consider
building along the Potomac
River q park road and q
separate truck route. There
should be one road for both
truck. and passenger trafiic.
All three proposed express
routes for Route 240--Poto-
mac River. Wisconsin avenue.
Glover-Archbold and Rock
Greek Parks-are equally es-
sential. But the Potomac
River route should be built
first. The most practical To-
cation for the western leg Of
Route 240. from the District
line to the city's center. Is
along the river. With all the
unused land there. 1t should
not be necessary to raze
