DOUBLE EXPOSURES

One play, one part, two peOple-that
was the theatrical situation recently
at two District schools. When
Woodrow Wilson High students put
on two performances of the ven-
cradle farce, "CharIey's Aunt" they
used two complete casts except for
one actOr-David Garrett, who
played the same role twice. The
Prep Players of Mount Vernon Semi
nary had two AliceS for their two
performances of "Alice in Wonder
land" but the rest of the cast did
double duty.

Building Values
Now at Record
Of $10.o Billion

The Government said yester-
day the value of new construc-
ton rose again last month,
pushing the first quarter figure
to a record $10,933, 600. 900.
The March increase of $317
million was in line with sea-
sonal expectations, the Com
merce and Labor Departments
indicated in their joint an
nouncements.
March construction worth
So, 1872, 100000 represented an
8 per cent increase over Feb
fuary and IL per cent over
March, 1858.
For the first three months
Of the year the estimated value
Of new construction put in
place exceeded by 10 per cent
the previous record of $9,774.-
600, 900 achieved last year.
The latest quarterly esti-
mates show a 10 per cent rise
in private construction, as COM
pared with a year ago. and a
16 per cent advance in public
building.
A 80 per cent squirt in new
housing stimulated the private
sector, more than offsetting
continued weakness in office
and industrial building. Most
types Of public construction
were ahead Of 1858. School
building and water projects
were of slightly. however.
