Few cities in the South felt
the wrath Of the invading ar
my worse than Jackson. Els
pecially severe were the Fe-
deral's two initial visits to

Upon entering Port Gibson

Gen. Grant is reported to
have given the order for his
hard bitten troops to spare

GIBSON is too beautiful to
burn. Whether Grant uttered
this statement or not is a
moot question, but the diaries
of his soldiers contain hume
rous references to the beauty
of Port Gibson.
Meridian Destruction

General Grant said; 81 began

struction Of the railroad cen

monstrated the Importance to
the enemy of that place.
Through it he has transported

For 5 days 10000 men worked
hard and with a will in that
work of destruction, with axes,
crowbars, sledges, clawbars
and with fire, and I have no

Since we help the country people build their roads md bridges W don't be-

Builders old of New
Land Planning Idea

communities so that you can
come up with your own new
concepts" he told the builders.
Another highlight was a dis
play by Robert c. Ledermann,
director Of NAHB's community
facilities and urban renewal
department, which explained
two methods of community de-
velopment which many local
coming codes prohibit.
Cluster Plan
One is the cluster plan, in
which individual lot sizes are
cut to about two-thirds Of the
traditional minimum, with the
homes being grouped around a
common park. This method al
lows more homes to be built on
the same acreage which tradi-
tionally would have no park or
open space at all.
The other method explained
by Mr.. Ledermann is the plan
ned unit development, in which
even higher housing density is
used by incorporating apart
ments, town houses and single
family homes in one commune
ty, yet retaining more than 40
per cent of the land for parks.
This is not just a matter of
dollars and cents" Mr.. Leder-
mann said. I'VE cannot afford
to spread our communities ever
outward. And setting aside open
spaces must be balanced by
higher density. We can no long
er assume that coming in the
conventional sense can con-
tinue to do the job. We must
look to new ideas and methods"
At a convention session this
afternoon, w. Evans Buchanan,
a former president Of the Home |
Builders Association of Metro
politan Washington, is expected |
to be elected president Of the
National Association Of Home
Builders. He has served for the
past year as first vice president |
of the national group.

BY DANIEL POOLE
Star Real Estate Editor

CHICAGO, Dec. IA. - Have
you ever heard of high speed
residential street with no houses
on it?
Have you wished for more
privacy from your neighbors
without having to buy a large
estate?
Or would you consider living
closer to your neighbors on an
even smaller lot in order to
gain the use Of large community
parks and natural open spaces?
These are some Of the land
planning ideas being studied by
some $4,000 builders attending
the 18th annual convention
exposition of the National AS
ISOLATION of Home Builders.
At sessions on new concepts
Of land development, the build
ers heard Charles E. Powell, a
zone site planner for the Fed
eral Housing Administration,
recommend reforms in local
coming ordinances which would
permit new land planning
methods to be used.
Closer Homes
He suggested, for instance.
the use of new street patterns
in which homes would be
grouped on small lanes opening
off an express road. This would
create more privacy and allie
viate dangerous traffic situa-
tons at neighborhood inter-
sections, he said.
And he recommended site
planning that would allow
homes to be placed closer to-
gether, but situated on the lots
so that gardens and patios could
retain privacy.
Mr.. Powell, who has met with
builders and local officials all
over the country to explain the
advantages of revised coming
ordinances, said: I'VE hope
that by meeting together, we
can come to a better under
standing Of what can be done
locally through a better use of
small space"
The FHA official said today's
land designers are hamstrung
so that often they are unable
to develop better planning tech
niques. I'VE are not saying
these particular concepts are
best. but maybe we can gen.
crate interest in your various

sound Of worms eating corn
roots. Little did they realize
what they were getting into.
Calls were made to zoos and
other institutions In New York

to get them. Other calls went

In 3 recording studio, the
grubworms were placed In q

mittee today favorably reported
q bill to enable insurance COM
panies to use revised mortality
tables.
The bin is described as q
means by which insurance
companies can reflect in their
policies the improvement in
life expectancy figures.
Edward J. schmuck. vice

Of the Acacia Life Insurance
Co., testified the revised ia
bles are now accepted in all
but IL States. He said the
bill is in the public interest
and indicated the premiums
might be reduced in certain
fields Of insurance.
Also backing the bill was

corporation counsel for the
District. He said 1t was the
understanding Of the District
Commissioners that the bill

Of the hands Of Russia and her

Both Democratic and Repub-

Wisconsin. said II am aston
ished ct the casual nature Of
the way this important pro-
posal was brought before

Mr.. Reuss said he was pre-
pared to vote 10 extend the act
for up to 10 years or more. but
not to make Il permanent un-
less he Is told directly BY the
President and Secretary Of
State that It Is necessary. The
present two-year extension Of
the original ls4e act expires
June 80.
Jack N. Behrman, Assistant
Secretary Of Commerce for
international Affairs, assured
Mr.. Reuss the bill had admin.
istration backing. He based his
