2'Disturbino'
Stop Lights

Two stop lights just installed
on Pennsylvania avenue in
front of the White House were
being taken down today.
I'VE decided" District High
way Director Harold L. Aitken
said, that that is a sensitive
area, so we're taking them
out"
Although no formal protest
reached him, both the Fine
Arts Commission and the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission were known to be dis
turbed about the lights in front
of the White HouSe-and about
the lights being installed or re-
located in a string down Penn
sylvania avenue from Fifteenth
street to Second street NV.
Actually. except for those in
front of the White House, he
said. most of the stop lights
have been there all along. They
simply stand out more now
that Streetcars no longer use
the street and the streetcar
loading platforms have been
removed.
Pennsylvania in front of the
White House is 81 feet wide
and pedestrians can make the
crossing on one green light if
they hustle. But further down,
he said, the ceremonial avenue
is lot feet wide-about a third
of a football field-and pedes-
TRANS can't cross on a single
green light without Snarling
auto traffic.
Both Mrs. Elizabeth Rowe,
chairman of the planning COM
mission, said David Finley,
chairman of the Fine Arts
Commission, said their groups
would keep an eye on the ave-
nue. and decide later whether
they will protest the stop
lights.

cents, and require the transit
company to set aside the ex-
cess amounts collected since the
higher fare went into effect in
a special account. This money
would be held for the benefit
Of future fare payers.
Although the appellants are
asking the court to save the
cash fare payer a nickel, the
difference would be substantial
to the company. When the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commits
sion allowed the increase March
2, 1860, it calculated that the
higher fare structure would
bring in nearly $500,0o0 more
revenue per year.
1t is this order which the
transit riders, Leonard N. Beb-
chick and Leonard S. Goodman,
challenged. They have lost be-
fore the District Court and a
three = judge appeals court
panel.
The last decision rendered
July IL, was 2 to /. The law
yers then petitioned for rehear-
ing of tn case by the full court.
Their counsel, Harold Leven-
thai, contended yesterday that
the company's profits had been
excessive and that the company
failed to prove that it needed
the fare increase.
Mr.. Leventhal's arguments
we're variously termed mis-
leading" or much a do about
by Harvey M. Spear
counsel for D. c. Transit.
George F. Donnells, counsel for
the commission, also attacked
the appellants case.

for
$485,OOO

purchase by q washington
investment syndicate of a mort.
gage held by First Continental
Savings g. Loan Association
which now is in receivership
was approved yesterday in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court.
The buyer, who paid $4S5, 900,

The mortgage was the main
non-cash asset of the firm, and
an audit made for the receiver
had valued the net asset at
$484.674 slightly less than sale
price.
John E. McKeever, court-ap-
pointed receiver, said the pay
ment will be invested for the
benefit of the firms nearly
5000 shareholders. He added
that the sale ended the posi-
bility Of expensive legal action
which might have come ABOUT
from a foreclosure.
Mr.. Shultise said that his
syndicate purchased all the
property and stocks of the En-
cheering & Development Corp.
of which the land, close to the

ToyIor Cites U. S. Dotu
Against Red Torgets

One Of these estimates, he
indicated, was on concealment
of Russian missiles and bomb
erS.
In his book he said 1t would
be useless to try to destroy en-
emy long-range weapons be-
cause they could not be found.
Today, he said, he agrees with
the strategy announced recent
ly by Mr.. Mcnamara in which
enemy weapons would be the
targets.
He changed his views, he
said, because I'VE have better
intelligence today" than had
been anticipated. Gen. Taylor
was introduced at the press
conference by Secretary Of De-
fenSe Mcnamara as lone Of our
country's bravest soldiers and
an outstanding military leader.
+. I am delighted that he has
returned to this department.
Asked about his advocacy Of
a single Chief of Staff, Gen.
Taylor said that he will have
to study the new Pentagon or
ganization before he can de-
termine if further changes are
warranted. He said he does not
anticipate that the President
will select another military ad-
wiser.
Asked why there would be
no successor since he had been
so valuable in the White House,
Gen. Taylor replied with a
laugh "one answer would be
that I proved there was
nothing / could contribute"
Gen. Taylor said he found "a
notable change In national
morale in South Wet Nam
during his recent visit there.
ACTIONS against the Commu-
mist Wet Cong have been more
favorable in the last months
and weeks" he said.

BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
star staff Writer


Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor told
a press conference yesterday
that the Pentagon has better
information about wartime
targets in Russia than he had
thought possible three years
ago.
He met with reporters Just
two hours after he was sworn
in as chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Most Of the
questions centered on the views
he expressed in the book, "The
Uncertain Trumpet" written
after his retirement as Army
Chief of Staff in 1859.
II am not arriving, blueprint
in hand, as a crusader for
change" Gen. Taylor said. Il
am not prepared to withdraw
from any of the views ex-
pressed in The Trumpet except
il some cases where they were
based on intelligence estimates
which did not pan out as pre-
dicted."

Space Drive
Seen Harming
Civil Economy

Commerce Secretary Hodges
has misgivings about the United
States emphasis on research
related to defense and space
activities.
This emphasis is "one Of the
great dangers" confronting the
campaign to improve the econ
omy's productivity and en-
nance the American competi-
tive position on world markets,
Mr.. Hodges told a news confer
ence yesterday.
He explained that the costly
defense and space research
programs are attracting scien-
lists and engineers away from
the civilian economy. 1t is the
Commerce. Departments job.
he said, to call the administra-
tion's attention to the problem.
Asked about forecasts by
some economists that q recess
sion will take place late this
year or early in 1853, Mr..
Hodges replied; II don't think
we're going to have 1t that
early"
The economy, he added,
"looks pretty good to me-" He
singled out increases in con-
sumner spending for special
mention.
Mr.. Hodges also said, In re-
sponse to q question, that riot
ing in Mississippi will hurt that
States campaign to- attract
new industries. The damage
will be at least short-term, he
said, and may be long-range.
The Secretary announced
that he will leave November s
on a four-week around-the-
world trip to promote United
States business interests. He
said Tokyo will be his first
stop, followed by visits, speech
es and conferences in Sydney,
Manila, Bangkok. New Delhi.
