Third, be sure to consult

How Residential
Design Improves
By WILLIAM l. SLAYToN
Commissioner.
uFbon Renewed Administrator

One Of the most striking
products Of urban renewal
progress has been the de-
veIOpment Of residential de-
sign. It has stimulated q
marked return to in-town Hv-
ing, which has been char
acterized by development Of
new designs In single family
as well as multi-family
structures.
Most notable has been the
revival Of the town house,
(formerly known as row
house"), which had fallen In
to disuse in many parts of
the Nation with the ire
mendous squirt Of suburban
construction and the desire to
own a free-standing house.
Today, In Washington, Phil
adelphia. Chicago, Detroit,
and many other cities we find
q new concept Of urban living
centering around town
houses. This design provides
a fine family living environ
ment In high value
urban neighbOrhOods. How
ever, since its chief value
lies In economies in land
utilization, the town house is
being used in many suburban
developments, also.
But revival Of the town
house concept Is only one
contribution made by urban
renewal. Of far greater sig
nificance are the possibilities
Of designing entire neighbor-
hoods along sound lines Of
planning for greater ef-
ficiency and visual beauty.
The key word In urban re-
newal design 10 ''experi-
mentatiOn" - experiments
ton designed to develop new
forms for urban living, new
solutions for the heart Of the
city which satisfy the tech
biological imperatives Of the
automobile age and the I'M
changing demands Of the
human organism.
Certainly urban renewal
commands US to try new
forms-the residential square,
apartments above stores, the
maisonette, town houses at
higher densities, the complete
separation Of traffic and
pedestrian, the narrow street
all now generally prohibited
by municipal regulations. And
all not really new. They re-
main TO be rediscovered.

tremendous benefit to home
buyers. They get more house

their house costs have re-
manned fairly stable despite
skyrocketing land costs.
A Government tabulation Of
lot costs for the m edian-
priced home shows that land
costs have jumped from $761
In 1913 to $2,47O In 1860. In
some areas, land costs have
risen 5000 per cent in the last
10 years.
The fact that house prices
have not scared in any COM

to the miracles Of research.

This is an exceptionally
good time to buy a new home.
There Is a wide supply Of in
viting new homes from which
to choose land mortgage mon
ey Is more plentiful than it
has been for years.
With deposits in savings or
CARNATIONS running at an all
time high, lending institutions
are seeking outlets for their
money. Home buyers are able
to shop around for their mort
gage and take the one with
the most favorable terms.
Mortgage terms right now
are liberal. The first six
months Of this year brought
an easing Of terms, a contin-
uation Of a five-year trend.
The avera q conventional
loan for the purchase of a
new home in January amount
ed to 72.S per cent Of the pur-
chase price. In June, it was
1913 per cent, and the buyer
had an additional year for re-
payment. Interest on the av-
erage conventional loan
slipped In this period from
$50 to $50 per cent.
Attractive as the financing
picture is, the real pleasure in
buying a home is In seeing
the amenities for better living
it offers and in finding just
the right home for you and
your family. House production
this year Is e stim ate d at
100000 units. They represent
a wide variety Of homes in
every price bracket.
The new homes on display
in this years Fall Festival
constitute a preview of the
homes to be built in 1854. In
this respect, the home festi-
walls now being held through
out the country are like the
annual auto shows. They are

els that will set the pattern
for next years home building.

planning, engineering, design,
marketing, financing and re-
lated matters including legal
work. Admittedly, one man
with all these skills would be
hard to find. But builders
either employ experts on
these lines or operate within a
framework that provides such
services.

legislative appropriation, aft r very thorough and detailed analy- sis of the requirements, resulted in a $214,000 allocation. This repre- sented 50 per cent cut.
 ''In 1862, recognizing that I got no place on the required amount the previous year, I asked for a lesser amount hoping that this would be approved. The amount recommended was $315,OOO. The funds appropriated totaled $241,- 900, which was a 25 per cent cut.
 For 1863 I have recommended $615,000 appropriation in order to accomplish the things that have long been neglected, for which money has not been provided as well as to meet the requirements of the many new airports that have been built in the past "A months, and those new facilities which have been authorized and are ex- pected to be in operation this fiscal year. No doubt this recommended appropriation will again be sub- stantially cut.

Titan 2 Scores $500 Mile Successful Flight

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R - A Titan 2, Americas largest mill tary rocket, sped 6,500 miles on 6 successful test flight Tuesday.
 In scoring it's eighth success in 12 launchings, the two-stage rocket hurled its giant nose cone into the South Atlantic Ocean off the West African Coast.
 The General Electric Mark VI warhead, heaviest in the US. Mis- sle Arsenal, is capable of immense nuclear destruction at interconti- mental range.
 The Air Force reports the war head is twice as heavy as the nose cone carried by the operational Titan l, which would make its weight around 5000 pounds. That is more than twice the weight of an Atlas nose cone and about IA times heavier than those on Polaris and Minute-M Man. Esti- mates of Titan 2's nuclear delivery potential range up to 10 megatons, or 10 million tons of TINT.

Plan to Beef Up All Seven SEE Marine Highway Terminals

JUNEAU R - Public Works Commissioner Richard Downing told special Joint Finance Sub- committee last night the state plans to beef up all seven terminals on the Southeast Marine Highway system.
 All of the work, Downing said, can be done for a total of S85,OOO and he said his department has funds available for the job and won't need a supplemental appro- priation.
 On another subject, the Public Works Commissioner said S325,OOO would pay for the installation of enough sleeperettes on the ferries to provide sleeping accommoda- tions for 100 people on each ship, including the accommodations now available 14 stateroons which will handle 28 persons.
 Downing said the lack of sleep ing accommodations appears to be the main concern of persons who want to make the ferry trip, in- cludlng a Portland tour director who plans to send one tour bus over the route each week this year, and more next year.

Roguszka Hits Back at Blodgett

ANCHORAGE R Eugene Roguszka, who has submitted his resignation as Director of Engi- neering and Construction in the State Division of Aviation, said here Tuesday that Rep. Robert Blodgett 'continually opposed" re- quests for airport maintenance funds.
 The Anchorage Times capital correspondent reported that Blod- gett was highly critical of Ro- guszka's handling of airport engi- neering and construction, saying that his resigning was a "healthy move in the best interest of Alas ka."
 Blodgett was further quoted as saying:
 "Airfield maintenance has been so severely neglected that the state is now faced with the necessity of reconstructing many airfields. This would not have been neces- sary with proper maintenance"
 RogusZka said here, ''it is hard to believe after all these years that Rep. Blodgett has finally agreed with me on the value of the various airport construction and mainte- nance programs recommended by me-"
 He continued:
 Going back to each of the leg islative sessions in the past three years, l can easily recall Rep. Blodgett's opposition to the federal aid airport program. He opposed projects recommended for the two international airports. He continu- ally opposed adequate funds for the maintenance of airports. He did favor the bush (airport pro- gram as long as his area had first priority. The facts bear this out.
 "Time and time again I recom- mended a minimum amount of money to do a job. Time and time again the recommendation was drastically cut. For example, re- view the airport maintenance pro- gram for the past two years. In 1861 I had recommended $427 ,OOO to maintain all state airports. The
