Decade of New Hope For
The Mentally Retarded

On a blustery, Fall day in 1850,
forty men and women met in a
hotel in Minneapolis to organize
a crusade which would, in time
to come, change the lives of
millions of Americans.

New Benefits to
Be Available by
Social Security

There is good news for many
retired persons, and for the wild
ows and children of working
people who have died. Because
of 1860 amendments to the Soc
ial Security Act, less work un-
der social security is now re-
quired for benefits to be pay
able to worker, or to his sur
viving family. According to Ed
ward F. Sullivan, manager of
the Dover, Delaware Social Sc
curity Office, approx mately
one-third less credit for work
under social security is now
needed. Under the old law, for
instance, person reaching re-
tirement age, or dying in 1860,
would have needed credit for
l8 or 10 calendar quarters of
work under social security. Be-
cause of the amendments, how
ever, credit for only IL such
quarters (about 3 years. is now
needed.
Payments under the new law
can be made beginning with the
month October. Sullivan sug-
gests that anyone whose appli-
cation for old-age or survivors
insurance benefits has been de-
MED because of insufficient work
under social security, recontact
his office at 230 West LOCKER
man Street, Dover, Delaware.
1t will then be possible to check
the workers social security ac-
count to see if benefits are pay
able under the new law.

Typical New Buildings

High on any list of new buildings would be those
added by labor unions trade and professional asso-
Citations, and other institutions of a quas-public
character
Typical such new buildings as those of the
Brookings Institution, at TITS Massachusetts avenue
NV; the AFL-CIO Sixteenth street across
Lafayette Square from the White House; the Car
penters TeamSters and Post office employees head
quarters hudded close to the CAPITOL the
constructed National Geographic Society office build
lng the Coal Building and the headquarters building
OF the Operating Engineers in the Mayflower Hotel
area; the handsome Bnai Birth Building at Seven
teenth street and Rhode Island avenue; the National
Education Association and American Chemical So
ciety Buildings Sixteenth street, the Forest Indus
tries Building and the louvred headquarters of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science
in the Scott circle area
Dozens more qualify in the category of inStitu-
tonal structures alone. And in the postwar group
OF private commercial buildings the list is endless
One OF the most highly influential groups of office
buildings transformed the Connecticut avenue and
street intersection and led to focusing of increasing
interest on street. Seventeenth street and Con-
necticut avenue, as among many streets and neigh-
borhoodS whose character already has been sharply
enhanced and whose quality is helping to supply
much-sought prestige" to adjacent areas.

The Office Space Revolution

man who has built 500 million worth of con-
struction in Washington is speaking
"a friend of mine came to me the other day and
said he needed 1000 square feet of office space He
said he had been looking around and couldn't find
first-class offices. Did have any to rent him2 I
had to tell him didn't have any
@Is it any wonder I'm continuing to build more
buildings? Good space is renting as fast as you
build it."
Behind the demand for modern office space in
Washington are many economic factors that you
would normally expect Sure the city is expanding.
Sure, more and more labor and professional organ
zations are centering here. Certainly business
ventures being started all the time And existing
firms growing. And Government Space-needs
multiply old buildings are torn down. These are
the familiar explanations
Evening star., 1961-09-17
Follow the Leader

Outstanding among factors implicit in choice of
locations prestige centers has been a tendency
OF one good building to follow another in an adjacent
location Often single building has set off psyche
logical chain of events leading to the upgradng of
an entire area.
Construction of the Universal Building at Con-
nectcut and Florida avenueS-on the long dormant
Temple Heights property-is example of this, for
1t touched off reverberatonS in the investment COM
munity that bound to affect the future Connecticut
avenue and its environs and appendageS, such as
Columbia road on up to Eighteenth street.
In the same way succession of activity on
Pennsylvania avenue west of the White House has
been supported by the confidence instiled through
construction of building after building.
Economic practically of the much-heralded Tenth
Street Mall area-n Southwest Washington likewise
is being greatly advanced by the Governments huge
construction program along Independence avenue.
For here as elsewhere economic practically is the
key to launching prestige that gradually
swell push out, meet each other and eventually
whelm the old, the rundown and the outmoded.
All this process dovetails very happily with the
mechanics of achieving and better city. For
basic to economic practically of any project is to
convince the lenders of money that their investment
will be safe.

Prestige Is Key

But there's more to the changes than statistics on
supply and demand can explain. There's revolution
afoot in the kind of space that people want major
clue to the new dynamism in the construction field
exists in a single word: Prestige.
Beyond any other single factor, the quality of
office space is affecting supply and demand. Sharp
buildings geared to the modern tenants ideas
of convenience efficiency and derablity rent quickly
these days, for SIS to $3.50 square foot In contrast
musty "old-look" buildings, in good locations
have hard time holding tenants at far lower rentals
ITS a fact of life-and we're facing it," one
builder said "ObSolescence helps prope American
life. We're not satisfied with old We want
ones-and the progress they represent We're
not satisfied to do business at the old stand
with poor lighting creaky floors, feeble old elevators
We can't get good secretaries to work in places
like that, the demand for quality goes right down
to the grass roots"
Talk to men who own older buildings and you
learn they've been keeping in touch with changes
in taste.
Improve or Fude
'If you don't improve an older building it soon
goes sour" said pretty soon, it's a milestone
around your neck. Why do you think many build
ingS have been completely modernized in the last
10 years."
AS new buildings have been added and old ones
torn down updated, the vacancy rate has stayed
low
I'VE take conservative view," says Thomas D.
Laney, executive secretary of the Building owners
and Managers Association. But it's true that
pancy statistics show it's pretty solid business"
Mr. Laneys latest occupancy survey was taken
last May Out of 4450O00 square feet of office space
reported on, all of it was filled by tenants except
100000 square feet.
That's 977 per cent occupancy-about normal
for Washington" he said.
I'm May, $780, had exactly 98 per cent
pancy-and in October 1859, it SO per cent.
So it has been holding pretty firm particularly
when you realize that lot of buildings being
added every year"

EDITORIAL

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AT HOME
GOVERNOR PAIEWONSKY has gone on record as de-
string to keep our islanders at home This is highly impor-
tant, and the Governor should take every step to make his
word come tue.At least he recognizes the problem, sees what
is involved, and is determined to do something about it.
KEEPING NATIVES at home is no mere password. These
Islands once supported a population of over $4,000. Time was
when each estate on ST. Croix was a community in itself, sup
porting an entire village, growing cane, making and shipping
sugar, and providing taxes for the local treasury. Then world
conditions changed. Other areas opened up, providing sugar
at lower per-acre cost, and we could not, without irrigation,
compete. Cheap labor went out the window, and rum no
longer provided the income it did. Oil burning ships, the air
plane and World War / also helped to change the picture.
WITH LITTLE OR no employment, natives had nothing
to do but leave by the thousands for the mainland. That is
what happens when a territory operates on a single-industry
basis. Sugar cane was ours, and when that failed, the whole
picture tended to collapse. The same thing haPpended when
cotton took a dip in the South,
H PRESENT situation shows, as everyone knows, a
sharp disparity in age distribution. We have here the very
young and the very old. Right after high school, our young
men and young women head north. There they find employ
ment, better living conditions, and everything else, and they
simply stay. There is nothing at home to keep them.
The ANSWER ~ the queSton OF ueVeroPmS III
maintaining the population which these Islands can support
is to provide industry on a year-round basis. With a skilled,
competent labor market more industry will be encouraged to
establish here, and the population will at one and the same
time be assured Of continuing employment. There are thou
sands Of Virgin Islanders on the mainland, young, able, tit
capable, who contribute to cities in which they live and work.
These and others like them can be assured of a place at home.
Nor does this mean displacing those who are away. It merely
means providing the type Of opportunities which our young
people can step into when they graduate from our local high
schools, 81 return, after completing college.
THE SIGNS ARE. encouraging, and Governor Paiewon-
sky has the fullest support Of al. the people in this, as in any
other matter Of import to the Islands.
