PARIS. Jan. 20.-The color

troop general, Jacques Massu,

class-or the same spot-as

the abrupt recall Of Frances

publication of an interview at

1851, when Gen. Macarthur
was relieved of his duties in
Korea.
The outcome Of the affair is
still far from certain The cur
rent explanation is simply that
Gen. Massu flew to Paris at his
own request last night to "ex-
plain" the interview which he
has officially denied having
given.
Furthermore, after a talk this
morning with Defense Minister
Pierre Guillaumat, Gen. Massu,
whatever his original attitude,

Prestige Cost High,

The United States clearly

outer space, and this Russian
advantage is costing America
dearly in terms Of worldwide
prestige. a top State Depart
ment official admitted today.
Furthermore. Undersecretary
Of State Livingston T. Mer-
chant said, the Russian lead
will take time to overcome.
This unqualified administra-
ton admission Of the Nation s
No. Q position in outer space
came at the opening of a
lengthy series of hearings by
the House Committee on Sci
ence and Astronautics.
Mr.. Merchant told the space
committee that Soviet propa-
ganda. relying on the spectac-
ular aspects of rocketry. has
given the world an exaggerated
picture of Russian achieve
mentS. However, he said
Soviet propaganda has with
some success capitalized on the
chronological achievements oi
the Soviet Union" He added: !:
1T would be wrong and dam
gerous to discount either the
achievement or the impact OF
that achievement on the minds
of peoples all over the world.

tion because "the United States
space effort has reached nei-

Progress Report
Is Effort to Satisfy
Relocation Pleas
By ALFRED ALIBRANDO
star stan Writer

The District Redevelopment
Land Agency today said its
plans for reconstruction of the
Maine avenue waterfront now
include a place for the small
restaurants and seafood stores
which have complained so Bit
terly about being forced to move
from the Municipal Fish Mar
ket.
In a progress report on the
waterfront plan he is develop
ing for the RIA, Stanley M.
Sherman said there also will
be provisions to relocate the
marine supply shops and stores
that now occupy the waterfront.
Presentation Of the plan at
the RLA's regular board meet
ing today obviously was an
answer to proposals from Capt.
tol Hill for rehousing the en-
battled restaurants and seafood
merchants who have refused to
move from the Southwest fish
market.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee has
proposed a National Fisheries
Center to replace the old fish
market. And Senator Beall, Re-
publican of Maryland, a mem
Der Of the Senate District Com
mittee, introduced legislation
authorizing construction of a
new fish market ION or near
the waterfront" to rehouse any
displaced businesses from that
area.
Effort tOOSave Plan
Since both these proposals
would upset the RLA's water
front plans. which have been
under development for nearly a
year, today's report apparently
was an effort to save the plan
and satisfy any merchants who
wish to be relocated on the
waterfront.
In outlining his plan Mr..
Sherman said piers at the site
Of the present fish market, at
the foot of Eleventh street,
would be retained for the han
ding of boats bringing in sea-
food from the Chesapeake Bay
and lower Potomac River areas.
Hogate's Restaurant would be
moved from its present Maine
avenue location to a pier site
just south of Yacht Basin No Q
and the Flagship Restaurant
would move to a pier at the
foot Of M street.
Space for Others
Between these two large res
taurants, said Mr.. Sherman.
would be space for many
smaller restaurants and retail
and wholesale seafood stores.
One problem for the small
restaurant operators and sea-
food merchants now on the
waterfront is that they would
have to move to temporary To-
cations between the time the
old fish market is demolished
and new quarters are COM
pleted. They contend that re-
development plans should have

Economic Report to Congress,
predicting prosperity through
1860 and beyond if the Gov
ernment and private citizens
cooperate to avoid "excesses."
Mr.. Eisenhower said the
Government should foster eco
nomic growth mainly by limit
ing spending and building up
budget surpluses to pay of
some of the national debt.
Business and labor, he said, can
do their part by increasing pro-
ductivity and holding down
costs and prices.
To the general public he as
signed the task of buying care
fully and exercising vigilance.
Against Forcing Economy :!
Drawing the lines for elec.
tion-year debate, the President
warned against pushing too
hard for fast economic growth.
Appropriate measures should
be taken to restrain surges in
economic activity that might
lead to drastic corrections" he
said, replying to critics who
contend the Government should
act more vigorously to accele.
rate economic growth.
Without indicating when
taxes should be cut, the Pres
ldent set forth these principles
for application when the time
comes:
We must remain alert to
the possibility of making the
tax system a more effective
instrument for promoting eco
nomlc growth. Taxes affect the
ability of individuals and corp
orations to save. Likewise, their
impact on the risk and return
OF investment influences the
Willingness to make productive
use OF savings. Our tax system
should give encouragement to
productive effort and should
facilitate the mobility and ef-
t1cient use of capital. We should
continue to review out tax sys-
tenn from these standpoints, as
well as from the standpoint of
equity"
Investing Over Spending
In the contex of past state.
mentS by high administration
officials, including Vice Presi-
dent Nixon, this declaration
implies that tax reductions
should be designed more to en-
courage business investment
than to promote consumer
spending.
Such a policy might call for
tax relief in the form of lib.
