e-twelfth Of the residential
part Of it. Most of the new
population growth was in the
suburbs.
In the midst Of a busy year.
many Washington business
leaders were disheartened by
delays and setbackS in solving
a mass transportation and
highway problem, a nagging
law enforcement and public
safety problem and legislative
delays holding back revitaliza-
ton of the downtown area.
Trade Tops SO Billion
Area retail trade estimates
for 1862 climbed to a record
SO, ,OO3, 100000 for 1862, up IA
per cent from the previous year.
Population was estimated at
2,228,000 at the years end, up
40 per cent from a year earlier.
Area payrollS for 1862 were esti-
mated at $4,57S, ,796, 900, a gain
Of 8.8 per cent from 1861.
Area construction permits,
plus Federal contract author
izations probably exceeded $3.50
million for 1862, preliminary
data indicated. This compared
with $507 million in 1861.
The construction of office
buildings and apartments
spread to all sections of the
area in 1862, but was especially
heavy in the District of Co.
lumbia and Montgomery Coun-
ty, Md. This activity is ex-
pected to continue in 1868, but
most observers believe building
of single-family homes will
slow down, at least in the first
half of the new year.
The Presidents recent order
barring racial discrimination
/ in sale of homes financed
through Federally insured or
guaranteed mortgages has
caused some CONSERVATION
among builders and many are
reported cutting back their
1868 home building programs
pending a clearer view of Fed
eral policy.
Confusion Results
In its November report to
the White House, the National
Capital Transportation Agency
recommended a vast $500 mil
lion mass transportation sys-
TEN for the area along with a
substantial curtailment of the
present highway and bridges
programs.
The immediate effect has
been to slow down work on a |
number Of important projects, |
including the new Roosevelt |
Bridge at the end of Constitu-
tion avenue.
The President is expected to |
include funds for the start of |
work on the mass transporta-
ton system when he submits |
his budget message to Congress
this week. Congressional lead !
ers have indicated they hope |
to have early hearings on the |
matter.
1t will be up to Congress and |
the administration how public |
aid in the form of loans or
appropriations will be allotted |
between highways and mass
transportation. Until the deci-
sion is made. some parts Of the
highway program will remain
in doubt.

The space race is a major
factor in the cheerful outlook

months ago when businessmen
economists, and some govern
ment spokesmen freely pre-
dicted an early recession in
1868.
But a late pickup in business
activity. the prospect of a tax
cut, high auto sales, higher
consumer spending, and a res
toration of national conf
dence as a result of the Cuban
crisis, brought about a new re-
eValuation for the year.
The thick COON of late sum-
mer and early autumn has dis
appeared. The pessimists have
retreated. And the widespread
talk of recession is no longer
to be heard.
Tax Cut is Key
The tx" factor in how the
economy performs this year is
the tax cut.
President Kennedy has prom
iSed a reduction in corporate
and individual taxes. He has
been Joined in this by leading
members of this administration
and by great majority of the
business and financial commu-
mites.
But how much the tax cut
will be, and what form it will
take, and just who will benefit
from it, are still uncertain.
Mr.. Kennedy himself has not
spelled it out. Some powerful
congressional forces have al
ready objected to a "quickie"
reduction, some demanding
concommitant drops in Federal
expenditures to make up for
the loss in revenue, others say
ing the economy is healthy
enough without a cut.
The argument for a tax cut
is that it is needed not so much
to forestall a possible recess

The dead whales Uttered a
three-mile stretch Of beach. A
mass burial in deep trenches,
carved by bulldozers, was
planned on the beach.
Whales travel by a built-in
sonar, sending out signals and
receiving them back when they
bounce off an object. Perhaps
the gentle slope of the ocean
floor prevented echoes and the
whales became confused.
Or the school could have been
following a prehistoric migra-

Another theory was that an
old leader may have led the
school to its death. When a
whale Is near death he tries, for
some reason, to beach himself.

had no other powers than those
specifically stated in the contract.

duce more, because he knew the
fruits of his labor we're his own,

greedy government.
AS a result, Americans created
the greatest. most abundant civili-

people and their historical enemy
government. Americans tanned
it by binding it down.
To-day, however, we see that
enemy reassuming its traditional
proportions. The 500 billion budg-

cies and restrictive laws are all
nothing more than modern forms
of the age-old tools of oppression.
Violations Overlooked
Government has broken its bonds
simply because we, the people,
have not vigilantly enforced the

were for the general welfare >
We have failed to recognize that
one breach in 4 contract nullifies
the value of the entire document

God-given rights of free speech, re-

Our greatest task today is to re-
establish the Constitution as the lit
