for development of a $28 mil

complex to cover the entire
block now occupied by the
ESQ Building at Constitution
avenue and Third street NV.
. Victor J. Orsinger, president
of the investment group, known
as Parkwood. Inc. revealed
that he had completed
agreements to purchase all of
the property on the block
bounded by Third, C and
Second streets and Constitu-

South African
Raps U. 5. for
Late Support
Stevenson Speech
Lost Value After
Vote, Louw Says

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. IL CAP). - Eric Louw,
South African foreign minister,
today raped the United States
and other Western powers for
failing to speak out in his sup
port before the General Assem-
bly, censured his policy speech.
Il feel that United States
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson's
statement to the press express
ing his views on freedom of
speech was valueleSs to me
since it was made after the
voting was over" Mr.. Louw
declared.
Speaking to reporters, Mr.
Louw repeated his charge that
the furious attack on him by
black African nations that led
to the ST. censure vote yeSter-
day was part Of pre-arranged
campaign.
Il am only disappointed" he
said, that the Western powers
did not see fit to state their
views on the issue before the
vote"
1T would have been of much
more value, II Ambassador Ste
venson had spoken from the
rostrum, instead of giving out
a statement to the press after
it was all over"
Mr.. Louw refused to Specu-
late whether the censure might
prompt South Africa to quit
the United Nations. but said he
believed there would be a strong
sentiment to pull out among
the South African people.
I'VE had been forwarned
this would happen" he declared
after a parade of African dele
gates denounced his speech as
insulting to their governments
and the African people.
African delegates were in
furiated by Mr.. Louw's charge
that many of the African
governments were attacking his
government to divert attention
from appalling economic condi-
tons and illiteracy in their own
countries. The Africans also
resented his announcement
that South Africa would con-
tinue its policy of apartheid-
strict race segregation-deSpite
the U. MS diSapproval.
Custer Sought
At the height of the stormy
session. Ambassador Seyni
Loum of Senegal said his dele
cation would move to throw
South Africa out of the world
organization.
South Africa walked out of

policies were censured. It has
threatened to pull out of the
United Nations altogether if
pushed too far.

The world now pits opposite
each other two opposing forces
with the capacity to destroy

will make every effort to pre-
vent the world from being
blown up"

In a report to the Commits.
sioners, Mr.. Back said notices
will be going out as part of 8
continuing real estate assess
ment program.
Below General Level
District assessors have found
that the assessment level in
Georgetown and the other five
areas cited is below the general
level elsewhere in the CITY," Mr.
Back said.
An assessment is the base
for the real estate rate in cal
culating a property owners tax
bill. The Commissioners this
year raised this levy from $3.50
to $3.50 per 500 of assessed
value.
Any assessment increase will
take effect next July l as the
basis for the real estate tax
during the forthcoming fiscal
year.
Review Continues
Since the city's first reassess-
ment survey. completed in
1859, assessments have been
reviewed on about 100000 of
the 100000 properties here, Mr.
Back said.
For the current tax year,
assessments went up on $4,000
parcels and dropped on 1000,
for an increase of $57 million
on the assessed total.
Mr.. Back said the exact
amount of the forthcoming
increases is not yet known.
