Home Builders Cooperate
In Sharing Trade Secrets
BY DANIEL POOLE
Stor Real Estote Editor

Certainly. home builders
are competitors.
But when it comes to sup
porting their professional
groups, they cooperate as
much as the lawyers and the
doctors.
In the Washington area,
the group through which
most of the builders share
their trade secrets Is the 746-
member Home Builders AS
ISOLATION of Metropolitan
Washington and its affiliates.
And this week, the group
announced 1t has just about
closed the gap with the Hous-
ton, Tex, association in an
effort to become the largest
local builders group in the
country.
The Virsinions
Contributing to this growth
is the activation Of the new
Home Builders Association Of
Suburban Virginia which has
started life with more than
than $50 members, most of
whom already were members
Of the parent group.

The Withholding Plan on Interest

annually or, II they prefer,
they can, under certain
clear circumstances, get
quarterly refunds Of over
withheld tax"
While the Government ex-
poets this procedure to be
rapid and simple" it win
take time. Especially. it will
necessitate careful examina-
ton of the individual income
tax returns and applications
for refunds. It imposes a
hardship. It will mean extra
expense to the various IN
stitutions which have with
held the money, as well as
expense to the citizen when
he seeks to get his money
back.
An educational campaign
carried on by the Govern
ment through the banks and
corporations could recover,
with little expense, a great
deal of those taxes which,
largely through ignorance, are
probably being omitted by
small taxpayers, some of
whom leave their money in
the banks to earn compound
interest and do not have the
means of calculating concur
rently what they owe in tax.
The whole controversy
seems likely to become an is
sue in the congressional elec-
tions. Mail to members of
Congress is larger on this
question than it has been on
any issue in many years. No
body should object to paying
what he owes the Govern
ment for taxes, but plenty Of
objections are being voiced
against paying money the
citizen does not owe and
against denial Of the use of
this money while Govern
ment, with its red tape, is
taking maybe months to fig
ure out how much was never
owed and must be returned
to its rightful owner.
Also, by the time a refund
is made. another withhold
ing" operation has taken
away a sum equal to the one
Just refunded. The citizen
will have to apply continu-
ously for refunds and may
always have in a withheld"
status 500 or more that he
never owed in taxes in the
first place.

Kennedy's Speech to UAW Convention
Next Tuesday CpIled Major Engagement

big steel moves he fought so
hard and successfully.
While the President and
his labor advisers work on
his UAW speech, the United
States Chamber Of Commerce
has been meeting here. It's
general tone toward the ad-
ministration has been cool
and suspicious. It's spokes-
men are repeatedly challeng-
ing him to show that he will
apply to labor the same ma
tional interest standard he
applied to steel.
This is the background for
next Tuesdays skirmish.
Every sentence Of the Presi-
dent will be scanned and
studied for guidelines to his
intentions and philosophy.
If 1t were not for the mis-
sile-aircraft negotiations he
could perhaps temporize In
his remarks, giving time and
charm q chance to do some
healing work. His critics
might then complain, how
ever. no Democratic President
ever really expects q long
honeymoon with business or
all segments Of labor.

tice.
Reuther's remarks last win
ter raised q question about
JAWS future relations with

time, Kennedy spokesmen did
not take them too seriously;
they are sure. for one thing,
that they have AFL-CIO

Meany, an outspoken admirer
Of the President-on their
side.
But there was some stormy
weather when Secretary Of
Labor Goldberg laid down
national interest guidelines
for the labor management
policy of the administration.
Both sides indicated plainly
that they did not want the
Government to be too deeply
involved in their affairs.
The President does not
borrow trouble and he Is o

soft answer which turns
away wrath. The JAW is
perhaps not as mad as the

Nine Mississippi
Racial Stotutes
Voided by Court

BILOXI, Miss, May 3 (AP)
United States District Judge
Sidney C. Mize yesterday de-
clared nine Mississippi segrega-
ton statutes unconstitutional
and upheld the right Of three
Negroes to unsegregated trans
portation service.
Judge Mize ruled that the
suit was not a proper class
action, in that it did not extend
to all Negroes In similar situa-
tions. But the ruling said the
three Negroes themselves were
personally entitled to relief.
The nine segregation laws
ruled unconstitutional violated
the Fourteenth Amendment to
the United States Constitution,
Judge Mize held.
The laws pertained to sep
arate but equal accommoda-
tions for persons Of white and
Negro races travelling by COM
mon carrier.
The suit was brought by
Samuel Bailey, Joseph Broad
water and Burnett L. jacob, all
Of Jackson.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Youth. and the Future of America

quences Of this kind Of think
ing viii not only fall upon
this misguided child but upon
her family, community, State
and country.
Apparently our children no
lenger are taught that our
Nation was brought into be-
ing by a divine faith in God
and that all our laws are
based on "the laws of Nature
and Of Natures God" Today,
civil rights are being chal-
lenged by those who deSpiSe
our way Of life.
There are those who claim
that rights are licenses to
challenge the American way
of life, subvert the minds Of
our children into questioning
the wisdom of our forefathers
and doubling the wisdom of
the Constitution. 1t is not
progress or elimination Of un-
foreseen unfair application Of
our laws which are their
goals, but to abolish our God
given rights entirely.
Civil rights have been the
basic foundation Of our Gov
ernment from the day of its
inception. 1t is an extraordi-
nary fact that at the time Of
our Nations birth there lived
in America the greatest num-
Der of statesmen ever to have
lived at one time in the same
country. And so, perhaps it
is unfair to compare the men
of those days with present.
day men and present-day
youth. Still, we may find in
spiration in the writings Of
such as Alexander Hamilton.
With scant early education
and from a broken home. he
wrote at II the following con-
corning civil rights:

kind are not to be rummaged
for among old parchments or,

written, as with a sunbeam,
