Show Slump
In Economy
BY the Associated Press

New figures showing a sum-
mer slump in business sales and
construction activity were an
nounced today by the Com
merce Department.
One report revealed a 81 bill
lion decline in sales by manu-
facturerS, wholesalers and re-
tailers between May and June
Sales in June totaled $67.4 bill
lion.
A second report gave a pre-
liminary estimate that the an
nual rate of construction &C.
tivity declined from $62.5 bill
lion in June 80 to $61.7 billion
in July. There was a slight in
crease in private buildings, but
this was more than offset by q
drop in public projects.
The June sales slump en-
braced all categories of bust
ness, with retail trade of
nearly 2 per cent. After adjust
ment for normal seasonal fluc-
tuations, deliveries by retail
ers were down $500 million
from those in May to $20.2 bill
lion.
Sales of manufacturers de-
clined by $5O0-million to $34.1
billion, and deliveries by whole.
salers were down 5000 million
to $13.2 billion.
Manufacturing and trade in.
ventories increased by $500
million between May and June
The total at the end of JUNE

The construction report
showed that the annual rate Of
private building increased by
$66 million in July to SAT- bill

there was anything additional
the Government could do to
guard against use of this
particular drug.
The President replied that
the FDA has had nearly 200
people working on the prob
lem, notifying every doctor,
every hospital and every nurse
about the dangers of thalido-
mide. He said he felt sure every
citizen is aware of the dangers.
While generally in favor of
a greater degree of Federal
supervision over distribution to
doctors Of new drugs on an
experimental basis, Mr.. Ken
nedy said that, of course, all
advances involved some risk.
He noted that thalidomide
was tested on animals for at
least a year without any signs
of deformity. He added: I'VE
cannot always get a clear in
dication from animals. These
tests may show up as being
wholly safe, and after very
careful work these may be dis
tributed with new warnings,
and there may be hazards in
them, but I think we have to
improve, which we can admin
istratively, this phase Of our
procedures"

Nkrumoh Escapes Death

ACCRA, Ghana. Aug. 2 (AP).
"A bomb exploded near Presi-
dent Kwame Nkrumah in a
small town in northern Ghana
last night, killing four persons
and injuring Sc. Mr.. Nkrumah
escaped unhurt.
The dead included a school

The attempt on the Presi-

stopped at a village 500 miles
north of Accra on his way
home from a visit to Upper
Volta, Ghana's northern neigh
Dor.
Mr.. Nkrumah had just got

velopment of an area for a long
period Of time.
"An area which has benefited
from a Skillfully planned and
executed urban renewal project
should be self-sustaining under
District regulations once the
project has been closed out"
The Commissioners decision
came after a months-long be-
hind-the-scenes debate in which
planning and redevelopment
officials have sought to retain
uninterrupted automatic en-
forcement" through admin
istrative action by the Zoning
Commission and the Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspec-
lions.
A recent corporation counsel
opinion conceded that such ad-
miniStrative enforcement is
legal, but recommended that it
be dropped because, he said,
"the purposes of urban renewal
can be substantially achieved
without such controls"
Without enforcement Of this
type based on use of the police
power, the only hope of keep
ing provisions of an urban re-
newal plan in force, after all
rebuilding in an area is COM
pleted, would be through in
stitution of civil suits by the
Redevelopment Land Agency.
RIA is the independent Dis
trict agency charged with the
job of carrying out redevelop-
ment in line with an urban
renewal plan.
A few days ago, Phil A. Doyle,
RIA executive director, said
publicity the District would be
committing "a fatal error" I'M
less it continued enforcement
beyond a projects execution
stage"
He suggested controls could
be retained by broadening zon-
ing and other regulations based
on use of the police power.
Weaken Support
Behind the argument over
the length of time enforcement
should be assured is a fear that
limiting control to only a brief
period will weaken support
generally for urban renewal.
In their letter to the plan
ming commission, the District
Commissioners requested other
major revisions in the North
Capitol-East urban renewal
plan to:
l. Outlaw wash-Sale sell
back procedures. Under this
scheme it was proposed that
RIA buy 10 pieces of property
and then resell them to the
former owners with a require
ment calling for the properties
to be rehabilitated in line with
the areas renewal blueprint

2. Spell out rehabilitation
standards in greater detail
than specified at present.
I'm providing rehabilitation
standards for structures to re-
MAN," the Commissioners let
ter said, 1.-The plan should clear
ly indicate how such structures
will be affected and furnish a
basis for estimating the cost of
required improvements"
3. Make clear that all prop
critics in the renewal area "are
subject to acquisition" and
that buildings designated for
rehabilitation rather than
clearance will be bought "un-
less the owners agreed to bring
them into compliance with the
rehabilitation standards"
Drop Minimum Height
4. Drop a planning commits
sion proposal that buildings
facing on North Capitol street
have a minimum height of 40
feet in order that a vista to-
wards the Capitol be hand
somely framed.
5. Request rezoning Of the
area to the CM-3 category in
which buildings up to 80 feet
are permitted.
6. Abandon special provisions
for control over signs that
would have ruled out roof signs
altogether. Building code re-
gulationS are sufficient, the
Commissioners said.
The requested changes, the
letter said, will yield a blue
print that is realistic" and
adaptable to existing adj
ministative machinery for its
enforcement"
The Commissioners indicated
their recommendations were
the outgrowth of a public hear
ing held February IA, this year,
on a modification of the North
east Urban Renewal Area Pro-
ject No. l commonly known as
North Capitol-EaSt).
The modified plan was
adopted by the planning COM
mission December 7, 1861, and
needed approval of the Com
misSioners to become effective.
The procedure providing for
purchase of Is properties and
their resale to the owners was
adopted by the planning COM
mission after this course was
recommended by the District
Urban Renewal Council, a cit
izen advisory group appointed
by the Commissioners.

The very nature of the task
demands pastel tints and a

the appropriateness of the pic

at as well as to be read. If
the boys and girls think back

Caledonians
Are Busy
Seldom have Caledonians
been buster than they have
been this week and last. Various
rooms have taken trips to the
Post Office, the Art Museum,
the Cuyahoga River (by boat
and the Hillside Dairy. The
fifth and sixth grade Safety
Patrol members attended a
Cleveland baseball game Satur-
day, and one of the boys caught
and hung on to foul ball
hit by Bubba Phillips, inciden-
tally; and all of the Safety
Patrol members attended a
luncheon given in their honor
by the Caledonia PTA.
The Undergraduates in Mrs.
Jean Hines and Mrs. Sarah
Johnston's rooms reversed the
procedure; they stayed in
school, and had their parents
come to visit them for a party.
They put on a circus and a pet
show for them, and served them
refreshments.
Perhaps the busiest adult of
all was Mrs. Hines. In addition
to acting as hostess for the
mothers of her pupils, she was
one of the faculty members ac-
companying the Hilltop Patrol
on their trip to the
ball game. Also making this
trip were Mrs. Cordelia Glenn

talks by the Mayfair Principal,
Miss Sarah j. Wynkoop, and the
School Nurse, Mrs. Marie Fic-
zeri, informing them of the
things that would be required
vaccination and a record of
childhood diseases, for instance
of all children entering the
system.
After the initial visit of the
mothers to the school, their
children were urged to come
to Mayfair for a half day with
somebody else, not their mo-
theirs if possible: an older bro
ther of sister, or a neighbor
child. There, in groups of six
or eight at a time, they were
made welcome by the present
kindergarten children and their
teachers, some Of the former
Of whom they knew. They were
encouraged to take part in their
games, and to feel as much at
home as a child that young
away from home can feel.
In this way, a slight pre-
liminary loosening of the apron
strings, they were led to see
that there were other nice
places besides their homes, and
they were offered a taste of
what they can look forward to
next fall. In most instances the
experiment was q success, and
the start Of school in Septem-
Der was made that much easier
for them.

now on display at that building.
The technique of lightly draw
ing in a colored picture on the
face of a sheet of writing, in
such way that neither the pic
ture nor the text is obscured
by the other, is a difficult one
to master, and one which must
have taken considerable trial
and-error work to get just
right.
The essays are of two gen.
eral kinds. The first of these,
entitled "My Credo" or "This
[ Believe" consist of state
ments of sensations and con-
cepts leading up to a patriotic
declaration of belief in Amer
ica, and are adorned with a
colored representation of the
American flag on the page.
The others are more literary
in tone, including both prose
and poems, on such subjects
as "Colors," "Rain," Baseball"
11n the Century," Carpenters
Flight" and What Chambers
Means to Me-" Each of them
is illuminated with an approp-
riate drawing in colors; the
soaring capsule on the face of
the theme on Scott Carpenters

diamond accompanying several
essays on that sport, will serve
