velopment of a sound founda-
ton for the broad business
expansion widely expected
during the second half Of the
decade.
While the rental vacancy
rate has remained nearly
constant since 1850, the type
Of unit available has changed.
This has been caused by an
increase in new construction,
and a gradual rise in vacan-
cies among better quality ex-
isting apartments. the report
says. At the same time, dilap-
idated or deficient dwellings
of all types are being forced
from the market.
''There is no doubt" the
report states, "that the domi-
nant factor for improvement
of housing quality is the
availability of competitive
units and the elimination Of
deficiencies through consumer
choice"

Housing Record in 1863
Boosts New Year Outlook

prise came in October, a
month when housing starts
usually taper off. But this
year there were more one
family housing starts in 0c-
tober than In any previous
month. They reached 104, 100
housing starts-exceeding the
usually peak spring months.
Starts in April this year were
100, 800 and in May they were
10000.
Multiple family housing also
held up amazingly well in
October, with starts at S. 100
units, only q little less than
Mays top Of So, 400 units.
The 1868 housing picture
was dominated by the in
crease in apartment construc-
tion. Multi-family housing
units accounted for about IS
per cent Of the total produc-
ton. This was greater than In
1862, when apartment units
amounted to S2.4 per cent Of
the total.
Apartm ent building no
doubt will continue strong in
1864 but it probably viii be a
little less percentage-wiSe
than In 1868. Expectations are
it will amount to about IS per
cent Of the total housing pro-
duction.
Mortgage m one y during
1868 was readily available and
should continue so with little
change in interest rates for
the next six months.
Another highlight of the 1868
housing picture has been the
shift to conventional financ-
ing. In the first quarter, "a
per cent Of private nonfarm
housing starts were either
conventiOnally financed or
were cash purchases. In 1858,
this was only IS per cent.
This trend is expected to
continue.
The outlook for housing In
1854 is most promising. The
Nation is entering the year
with a $500 billion economy.
There is every prospect for
increased employment, in
creased production, increased
income and increased con-
sumption. People are using
their increased incomes to
buy homes. Members Of the
National Association Of Home
Builders are pledged to pro-
vide the country with the
finest homes at the best val
ueS possible.

Mr.. Koubek adds that a
building should be judged on
its architecture, not on the
building materials alone. He
disagrees, for instance, with

Removal Of height reStric-

things, says Mr.. KOubek. It
would permit a greater return

and this would make better
designs practical-such as
free-Standing buildings.
80 far, only in a few in
stances were architects able
to design free-Standing build
ings and face them alike on
all four Sides" Mr.. Koubek
says. "a good example Of this
is Stuart BernStein's new

Atlanta Plans
To Fix Breach
In Racial WALL

ATLANTA, Feb. Is (AP).-
City officials planned today to
repair a weekend breach made
in Atlanta's so-called Berlin
INTELLECTUALLY, barricades set
up to create q racial buffer
zone in the Southwest section.
Mayor Ivan Allen, jr., said
last night it was up to the
city to fix the damaged barrier
on Harlan road.
At the same time the Mayor
said:
II regret that anyone or any
group has seen fit to take the
law into their own hands and
tear down street signs or bar
riers which have been erected
in accordance with a city ordi-
nance"
The wood and steel barrier
was preached on Harlan road
Friday night. A section was
sawed off and tossed into a
creek. The next night somebody
filled the damaged port ion
with bushes and tree limbs.
The barbados were erected
on Peyton and Harlan roads
December 10 after the Mayor
and the Board of Aldermen APP
proved the n necessary ordi-
nanceS.
The action was taken In the
wake of complaints by white
residents who expressed fear
real estate agents might at
tempt to sell houses In their
area to Negroes.

New Tremors
Strike Libya

BENGHAzI. Libya, Feb. rs
(AP. New earth tremorS
struck the ancient town of
Tolemaide during the night but
1t was not known today whether
there were any casualties.
Tolemaide, a town of about
500 people settled by the Greeks
before the birth of Christ, is
10 miles from FL Mari, where
an estimated 261 persons died
in an earthquake last week.
In that shattered town, au-
thorities abandoned the search
for bodies and began making
plans to rebuild.
Tents Set Up
The thousands of homeless
moved forlornly into the en-
campments being set up out
side the town. They settled
down, so and 10 to a tent,
to await new homes.
They will have q long time
to wait" said one local Of
fetal. 1T could take months or
years to rebuild Ell Mari. But
we have been promised that
the town planners will be here
as soon as possible to make
a start"
The 20 per cent Of FL Marj's
buildings still standing after
the quake Thursday night are
too dangerous for habitation.
The rest are rubble.
The death toll was estimated
at 26l by British army au-
thorities who supervised the
rescue work. Libyan officials
said about 40 persons were still
unaccounted for. But they said
they did not know how many
fled to neighboring villages
after the first shock.
Some Stay in Town
Crowds Of homeless still
milled around the center of
town, waiting to be directed
to some kind Of living quarters
Some refused to bulge. One
aged Arab In tattered robes sat
on the rubble Of his house and
declined the offer of a tent.
This is my home" he declared.
Local authorities ordered q
dusk-to-dawn curfew following
outbreaks Of looting. Libyan

The Mayor said the publish
ers requested an opportunity
to meet among themselves to-
day to discuss matters brought
up last night. He said they
would inform him this after
noon when they are ready to
come back again" for further
talks.
New Paper Appears
Meanwhile. a new, strike-born
newspaper made its appearance
last night. the New York indie
pendent, priced at IS cents on
Sunday and 10 cents on week
days for the duration Of the
blackout.
The standard-size Independ-
ent, published at Mount Kisco
in suburban Westchester
County. carried a front-page
editorial saying the staff Ger
tainly desires a short life for
this newspaper. but while 1t
exists 1t will be published for
the thinking people Of New
York. :"
The Independents editor,
Stan Opotowsky, also was edi-
tor Of the short-lived New
York Chronicle, another strike
born newspaper. The Chronicle
folded about three weeks ago,
after a daily run Of five days,
because Of what was termed a
distribution problem"

State Chambers Urqe
Big U. S. Spending Cut

A businessmen's organiza-
ton yesterday advocated a $50
billion reduction in Federal
spending for fiscal 1864 across
a range from space research to
school lunches.
Such a slashing Of expenses
would remove "the only real
roadblock to tax reduction this
year." the Council of State
Chambers Of Commerce said in
q statement.
The heftiest single slash In
spending, SIS billion, was sug-
gested for foreign aid programs.
Big Cuts Indicated
Next In line would be the
civilian research field where
the council would cut Sl.2 bill
lion from space research and
technology, $ll3 million from
the National Institutes Of
Health and $43 million from
the National Science Founda-
ton.
Curtailment Of public works
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-02-25

would account for another
SITS million reduction, while
1852 million would be cut from
grants-in-aid programs - $493
million from public assistance,
$l48 million from aid to Fed
orally -impacted school districts
and 1921 million from the
school-lunch program.
A total of 1859 million would
be cut from Federal loan pro-
grams includink those for rural
identification, Farmers Home
Administration direct loans
and the Federal National
Mortgage Association special
assistance fund.
Big Saving EnvsiOned
An estimated $245 million
would be saved by not passing
new programs including Fed
eral aid to education, urban
transportation, youth employ
ment and four lesser projects.
The other major items would
be reduction in Federal pay
rolls to save $513 million.

soldiers were ordered to shoot
pilferers on sight.
To ease the difficulties of q
long spell Of tent life for the
homeless the Libyan authorities
asked British troops to set up
electric generators and arrange
water supplies.
A United States Army hos
pital unit. which arrived from
Wheelus Air Force Base, near
Tripoli, Friday, was reduced
from 80 to Is men. British
authorities said that with more
Libyan troops arriving to take
over rehabilitation work, they
expect to withdraw British
troops In a few days.
