AndersonHits TaxCut
To Fight Recession
Asks Careful.
Thought to
Aid u. S.

NEW YORK, April 7 R.--
Secretary of the Treasury An
derson spoke out today against
what he termed competitive
or hasty tax-cutting to counter
the business recession.
Mr.. Anderson said the Gov
eminent will take whatever ac-
ton may be judged as helpful
in promoting an early recovery
of economic growth.
But. in a speech prepared for
a savings bond campaign lunch
con here, he said the remedies
must be the kind that preserve
confidence among consumers
and businessmen in the stabil-
ity and long-term expansion Of
the economy.
He said the agreement he
engineered with the leaders Of
Congress that no major de-
cisions would be made without
bipartisan consultation was to
insure that "the best and most
competent thought" is applied
to the problem.
Would Avoid Competition
such a course should rea-
sonably avoid competitive or
hasty proposals and should
bring to bear on this important
problem the most competent
judgment and prudent thought
in the best interests of all Of
the American people" Mr..
Anderson said.
On the point of competition,
Mr.. Anderson presumably was
concerned that Republicans
and Democrats might vie with
each other to cut taxes and
claim credit for it in this
years congressional election
campaigns.
Mr.. Anderson counseled q
course Of caution and prudence
on antirecession matters.
Il believe that it should be
an attitude Of steady-as-we-go,
with a tough-minded conf
dence in the future" he said.
THE job that lies ahead for
us in strengthening the sinewS
Of our Nation to meet whatever
challenges the future may
bring is a job for all America
business. labor. Government
and individuals alike"
Bond Criticism Noted
The Secretary noted there
had been criticism of the CAM
paign to sell SAG billion of
savings bonds this year while
other Government policies are
aimed at inducing consumer
spending. rather than saving.
Mr.. Anderson said the same
question has been raised in
each previous business decline.
The answer is. he said. that the
country cannot lose sight of the
importance of accumulated
savings as the source of the
financing Of the Nations in
dustrial growth and the Govern
ment programs contributing to
national strength and security.
THE habit of thrift is not
something to be encouraged at
one time and discouraged at
another" he said.
las a matter Of fact, the
present economic downturn is
the aftermath of an infiationary
boom which would have been
much milder had Americana
saved more than they did dur
ing recent years."

BY LARRY ALLEN
Associated Press Stan Writer

HAVANA, April Troops
pushed into rugged mountains
at the eastern end Of Cuba to-
day in a drive against two rebel
columns the government said
were cut on from each other.
The army claimed a band led
by Raul Castro was defeated
and forced into the Sierra Girls
tai, northeast Of Santiago. A
force led by Raul's brother
Fidel. head Of the rebel move
ment, was said to be isolated
somewhere in the Sierra Mae
stras to the southwest.
Troops were pursuing beth
rebel bands. the army said.
Rebel Forces Grow
Elsewhere in Oriente Province
there were several clashes be-
tween troops and rebels. Rebel
sources said the Castro forces
in the mountains and rowing the
countryside attacking transport
and communications have
grown to 5000 men.
The army claimed the rebels
suffered heavy losses in an UNI
successful attack on an army
post at Dos Palmas near Palms
Soriano. rs miles northwest Of
Santiago. An official said seven
rebels. vehicles and arms sup
plies were seized.
Earlier communicates said
seven members of Raul Castro's
band were killed and 80
wounded and that two dozen
other rebels were killed yester-
day in Oriente.
C-46 Reported Down
The army claimed 1t had
shot down q foreign C-46 trans.
port plane bringing arms to be
dropped to Castro. The an
nouncement said the plane
crashed and burned and the
crew was killed. No other de.
tails were given,
But the rebels said a plane

were landed last Friday near
Manzanillo. The rebels said the
plane was burned when engine
trouble prevented a takeof.
President Batista. visited by
newsmen at his heavily guard
ed farm outside Havana, said
the army's strategy was to
decimate the rebel ranks bit
by bit.
"The army strategy is not to
go barglng into the mountains
and killing q lot Of innocent
people," he declared. but to
Isolate the rebels in groups and
capture them all.
Must Work Out Problems
There are many problems
to be worked out In going into
the area and clearing them
out. such as evacuating farm
families" he added.
Although Castro was still at
large. the Wanted total war
he was supposed to have be-
gun two days ago still had not
materialized.
The army said that while 1t

Single Family
Home Zoninq

The greatest part OF the city's
zoned land. 45.2 per cent, permits
no new construction except sim
gle-family homes.
OF this total (see coming dis
trict chart on this page for
building standards), 28.7 per cent
of the total zoned land restricts
development to detached homes
R-l-A and Rib, l0.7 per cent
also permits semidetached homes
R-2l and 5.8 per cent also per-
mits row houses tR-3).
Another 1876 per cent of the
city's land also permits row
houses which may be converted
to multiple-family dwellings
(R-4).
The R-4 row-houSe districts
are one of the most significant
in the city. Generally, they are
spread throughout the older
sections of the city, where
single-family occupancy already
has begun to give way to null
tiple-family living. In recogni-
tion of this, the code also per-
mits small apartments to be
built in the R-4 area.
Evening star., 1958-05-10
OH-Street Purkinq
Requirements

For the first time, the new
code requires that off-Street
parking spaces be provided to
serve any new commercial con-
struction except in the down.
town co business district.
For many years, parking has
been required for residential
buildings, but for no others. The
text of the zoning code (see fol-
lowing pages defines precise
requirements for all types of new
construction, including hotels,
schools and industrial plants.
Churches, however, have been
excluded from any parking
requirements.
Generally, Single-family dwell
ingS of all kinds require one
parking space for each dwelling
unit. Apartments requirements
are sharply increased. They
range from one for each unit to
one for each four units, depend
ing on the coming district. The
various commercial requirements
are geared to the gross floor
area of the Establishments.
Evening star., 1958-05-10
Manufacturing
and Industry

One of the sharpest changes in
the new code is in land zoned for
manufacturing and industrial
uses. The code virtually doubles
the land area previously zoned
for light manufacturing pur-
poses, including automotive and
warehousing activities, but cuts
in half the areas zoned for heavy
industry.
The land areas removed from
heavy-industry zoning are mostly
along railroad tracks. Officials
said experience has proved that
the city simply has been over
zoned for this use" In addition
to the land area changes, how
ever, the code makes these
brand-new changes in industrial
zoning:
l. 1t establishes three separate
zoning classifications for light
manufacturing uses, instead of
the one proposed by Mr.. Lewis.
Some of these districts are To-
Gated on Fourteenth and Sew
See ZONING, Page BE-

for maximum Office building
sizes downtown.
If the buildings are located on
streets at least 110 feet wide, like
Fourteenth street and New York,
Pennsylvania and Connecticut
avenues, they may have a total
gross floor space area ten times
the area Of the building lot (or II
times as big If off-Street parking
is provided.
If the buildings are on streets
less than 1l0 feet wide, they may
have a gross floor area eight and
a half times as big as the lot (or
nine and a half if parking is
provided.
This also is a major relaxation
of the Lewis proposals, which
called for a gross floor space area
no more than seven times the
area Of the building lot, exclu-
sive of parking.
Actually, however, the new
sizes are about 20 per cent less
than were permitted under pre-
vious zoning. The old,rules per-
mitted a floor space roughly 1875
times as large as the lot area.
Zoning officials, however, stress
that only about 10 per cent of
existing office buildings down.
town have been built the maN-
Evening star., 1958-05-10

mum heights permitted under
the old rule, and that only about
half of that 10 per cent have
been built to the maximum floor
space allowed.
They cite these figures 10 con-
tend that-with a few exceptions
the old rules were more lax
than they need to have been.
The code also provides that
penthouse structures to house
elevator and stairway equipment
need not be counted in the allow
able floor space Of a new build
ing. Any other roof structures,
however, including those for
air-conditioning equipment, must
be counted as part of the floor
space-a condition certain to
raise protests from builders.
8. Ca BOUNDARIES - The
new code somewhat changes the
shape of the downtown business
coming area, where the largest
Office buildings are permitted.
Under the old coming maps,
the area was roughly between
Seventh and Eighteenth streets,
Pennsylvania avenue and X
street NV, with fingers" of
high-density coming extending
out Connecticut avenue to Du-
Evening star., 1958-05-10
Other Commercial
BUILDINGS

The code permits business uses
of various kinds in about 7 per
cent of the city's zoned land,
This is about l per cent less than
the previously zoned commercial
total, but / per cent more than
MIR. Lewis proposed.
These areas are split up among
five commercial coming districts,
ranging in size from small neigh
borhood shopping centers to the
big CA district downtown.
Generally speaking, the maxi
mum building sizes in each of
these districts is smaller than
the sizes previously permitted,
but larger than Mr.. Lewis pro-
posed-an example OF the COM
promise decisions evident
throughout the code.
Evening star., 1958-05-10
Non-Conforminq
Property

Zoning officials say that thou
sands of existing homes, office
buildings, stores and apartments
in Washington will not conform
to the new rules.
What about the person who
owns one of these properties?
Must he tear down his building,
or stop using it?
Although such drastic require
ments have been proposed, the
new code calls for neither of
them, either now or at any set
time in the future.
Generally, there is little effect
at all if the on-conformance
involves only a conflict with the
structural restrictions, and not a
conflict with the zoning district
in which a building is located If
private home exists in a zoning
district which permits private
homes, for example, there will
be no problem for the owner if
his building lot is too narrow or
the Side-yard too small. The
owner may repair, renovate or
add to his home in most cases.
Likewise, no stigma is attached
to an apartment house or office
building which exceeds height
or bulk limits of the new code
Evening star., 1958-05-10
Building Height
Limits

The maximum heights Of
buildings permitted in the code
range downward from 110 feet
(or 130 feet if buildings are set
back from the street, for Office
buildings downtown to 40 feet,
depending on the various zoning
districts (see district chart on
this page for details.
This meets requirements of a
1910 act of Congress which set
130 feet as the maximum per-
miSSible, and any deviation
would have required further leg
iSlation. Real estate interests
had pressed for a 150-foot limit
for some buildings, but lost out.
