Interest Rate
Shows Decline

The Washington area has
kept pace with a one-quar-
ter per cent decline in home
mortgage interest rates across
the Nation during the last 80
days.
This was revealed in re-
suits of a telegraphic survey
taken by the United States
Savings & Loan League of
157 major savings and loan
associations in all parts of
the United States.
The survey disclosed that
in every community or State
polled, interest rate reduc-.
tions of at least one-quarter
Of one per cent have been
put into effect in the past
three months.
Two areas broke the pat
tern. Both Florida and
Southern California reported
rate reductions ranging from
one-quarter to one-half per
cent.

develops he dusts off his old
commercial permit and
makes a killing while the
city slicker who just spent
$4,000 for a cozy suburban
retreat next to that pictur-
esque farm" has his dreams
shattered.
Unfortunately; there is
nothing the homeowner can
do about 1t. For once zoning
is Established, for all prac-
teal purposes. it cannot be
changed back to residential
EXCEPT at the request of the
commercial holder.
In Montgomery County
where officials have long
Needed MNCPPC's zoning
recommendations such situ-
atoms do not exist to any
extent. AS soon as a parcel
Is szoned for anything other
than undeveloped land it is
Immediately taxed on the
basis Of its potential use.
This probably accounts for
the fact that in the case of
apartments, for example, in
/ 1860 there we're 610 acres in
Montgomery County zoned
for apartments and not used.
In Prince Georges there were
a,i60 acres so zoned but not
: developed.
I Plan oFfers Protection
Adoption by the County
Commissioners of MNCPPC's
recommendations in its over

it is drawn, will put an end
to such situations. 1t will
also serve as q guide to home
purchasers and real estate
men alike.
It viii spell out just which
portions of the county will
be used for housing, indus
trial and commercial uses.
Further, 1t will provide a
buffer between residential
areas and business properties,
ending the cheek by jowl
situation that exists in some
portions Of the county at
present.

However, neither could the
pit owner expand his busi-
ness. Eventually. he would
have to close up shop or
move when the deadline was
reached.
He could move to another
area definitely zoned indus

or sell his land for residen-
tial use. He could not start
q new commercial venture on
his land.
The plan admittedly will
take years to produce results
but MNCPPC feels it is
better than letting the af-

districts close to Washington
deteriorate into outright in

Stop ZOnins Abuses

Adoption Of county-wid
planning would also put an
end. once and for all, to an
old zoning practice long
abused in Prince Georges
County. This is a type of
zoning little known to the
public and referred to here
as business chance coming"
for lack Of a better title. 1t
Is . perfectly legal procedure
Favorable tax laws permit
its use and 1t operates in
this manner:
A farmer or property
owner has 40 acres located
along . highway. He Is miles
from any present housing
development and has no
assurance that the exodus
from the city will come his
way. But for an investment
Of less than 500 he can
hedge his bets for the future.
( Since he is outside of
MNCPPC's regional district,
no coming, whatsoever, exists
.ohihis 40 acres and there is
generally no protest entered
when he applies to the county
and is granted a commercial
classification for his land.
He pays his filing fees, has
his action recorded on the
land records and the matter
isfpromptly forgotten.
Now his 40 acres is a
potential commercial ven-
tnre worth far more than q
mere chunk Of undeveloped
landscape. But Mr.. Property
Owner pays no increased
taxes. Under this situation,
what can he lose?

San Francisco Firebuq
Sets Series of BIozes

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 81
(AP) firebug, described by
one witness as a pimply-faced
giggling 6-footer. left a fiery
trail through downtown San
Francisco last night and early
today.
Police and fire officials
pressed a search for the arson
ist who, after setting fires in
nine leading hotels, moved into
another downtown district and
set several more fires in trash
piles.
Most of the blazes we're ex-

serious damage, Fire Chief
William Murray said. But a
fire on the 14th floor of the
Fielding Hotel. started in a
linen closet, caused an esti-

The rash of fires, which
Chief Murray said were all set
by the same person, capped
what had been the worst two

Roots of Crime
Nearly Always
In Family Group

Crime prevention means
dealing with people, not symp-
toms or conditions" accord
ing to Deputy Police Chief
John E. Winters.
Speaking last night before
the Society Of Natives of the
District of Columbia, Deputy
Chief Winters, who is in
charge of the D. C. Youth Aid
Division. said enforcement of
penal codes alone cannot af-
ford an altogether satisfactory
method Of curbing crime.
ITO simply punish Offend
ers is not enough" he said.
Effective prevention he de-
clared, begins before a crime
is committed. He pointed out
that the rehabilitation of ju-
venile offenders-or potential
criminals"-would significantly
reduce the crime rate.
Nearly always, "he said,
the roots of crime can be
traced to the family group"
Police must deal with the
families of trouble-prone chill
dren as well as with the youths
themselves, he said.
Juvenile offenders are not
beyond repair, Deputy Chief
Winters added. In fact, he
said. when parents and police
cooperate. a great percentage
Of children involved in first
time offenses do not find them
selves in trouble a second time.
The meeting was held at the
National Press Club.

in a top-floor sTairwell at the
YMCA hotel. A short time
later. the Sheraton-P ala c e
Hotel reported two trash cans
in the basement had been set
afire.
Police were sta ationed on
guard duty at many downtown
hotels.
After midnight, a series of
fires erupted in the area south
of Market street. Fire officials
said all the ignited trash piles
were next TO occupied flats.
The description came from
a guest of one of the hotels,
who told officers he saw a tall
youth dancing away from the
hotel "giggling to himself and
laughing" about the time the
blaze was discovered there.

ABUNDANT LIFE
THANKSGIVING is STRENGTH

The Bible says the JOY Of the
Lord is your strength. The Bible
also says, Give unto the Lord
glory and strength. Sing
aloud unto God our strength"
In the old days the army Of
King Jehoshaphat faced over
whelming odds in battle. The
king took his problem to God in
prayer and received a surprising
answer. He was instructed to
select, not the strongest and
best-trained soldiers, but the
best singers. He was to place
them at the head Of the army,
in advance Of his fighters.
The singers were to praise
the beauty Of holiness, and say,
Praise the Lord; for his mercy
endureth for ever"
What was the result? When
the singers began to sing and to
praise, the Lord set ambush
ments against the children Of
Ammon, Moab and mount SER,
and they were smitten. The
army of King Jehoshaphat won
a great victory.
Praise was their strength.
Before supplying the multi
tudes with food to eat, Jesus
took the seven loaves and the
fishes, and gave thanks, and
brake them, and gave to his
disciples, and the disciples to
the multitude"
Before raising Lazarus from
the dead. Jesus lifted up his
eyes. and said. Father, | thank
thee that thou hast heard me
Then Lazarus came forth.
Sincere praise moves Coo
action.
, 1961-02-11

Sincere thanks moves God to
action.
Praise and thanksgiving are
related.
How good God is to be mott
waited by our very praise and
thanksgiving, and to decree that
our strength should be our
praise and our thanksgiving So
great is our assurance of the
goodness of Cod that we give
thanks before receiving and the
very thanksgiving sets in motion
Gods power TO bring our needs
into being.
Thanksgiving is an element
of faith, for faith is believing
before seeing. Expressing
thanks before receiving is be-
lieving. Yet, II is more than be-
lieving; it is gratitude of the
highest degree.
II is significant that some Of
the greatest miracles performed
on earth by Jesus were preceded
Nv his Giving nraise and thanks
giving.
The Lord delights in the
strength Of His children, and
where is the strength of His
childrenP Is il not in their praise
and in their thanksgiving Civ
ing thanks after receiving a
blessing is good, but giving
thanks before receiving a bless
ing IS strength.
1t is this strength which is the
JOY Of the Lord.

dren. He sentenced Mr.. Harris
to 80 days in jail, but then he
stayed execution of the SEN

Mr.. Harris reported to the

He was released at 4 pm. on
Sundays to work the rest of the

through decreased relief funds
though it would entail added
expenses in staff work.
The departments budget this
fiscal year is $7,607,000 up

cost per prisoner per day comes
to SAIL, but most of the prison
systems using work release
charge the inmates for their

Finding new jobs for in

The ommission, according to
Howard B. Gill, director of the

the Department of Corrections,
has contributed toward failure
of the prison system in this
country. Sixty per cent of the
