Nixon-Type Co-ops
Have Changed a Lot

NEW YORK (AP). - The
idea was originally advanced
by people with money trou-
bles looking for a place to
live.
But unless $135,000 cash
and $4,000 a year sounds
like money trouble, the orig
inal idea has changed.
Those are the minimum
amounts involved in former
Vice President Richard M.
NiXon's arrangements to get
a cooperative apartment
here. The 1000 cash is
payment for the apartment
and the $4,000 is mainte-
nance.
Thus, consciously or not,
Mr.. Nixon Joins q movement
born in the depression to
combat rent charges by shar-
ing ownership.
An estimated 100000 peo-
pie are living in New York
co-ops, and similar projects
are rising in Chicago, De-
troit, San Francisco q n d
many other cities.
In New York, many of these
take the form of tall new
buildings rising out of old
and often slum-like neigh
borhoods.
Mr.. Nixon's new apartment
departs from the norm some
what in that it's on Fifth
avenue and his neighbors
will include Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller, when he's in
town.
Ludwig Katterfield of the
Cooperative Institute Asso-
citation, an ardent spokesman
for the cooperative move
ment, says 1t grew out Of q
desire to provide decent
housing in the city for peo-
pie who couldn't afford what
was available.
One solution was to elm
mate some middlemen. A
group Of people would get to-
gether, jointly borrow the
money and jointly build an
apartment In which they
would live as joint land
lords, rather than as ten
ants.
They also gained the ad-
vantages of home ownership
that the suburban house
buyer enjoys: A growing in
vestment in property plus
tax deductions for interest
and tax payments.
The tax and capital appre-
citation advantages alone were
enough to invite higher in
come people into the same
kind of project. At higher
tax rates, deductions are es-
pecially attractive. Also, low
capital gains tax rates apply
on any profit accruing from
the sale of an apartment.
Miss Josephine Schaefer,
vice president Of Douglas L.
Gilman and Co., the firm
that is handling the IL
room, fifth floor Nixon
apartment, said that almost
all quality New York apart
ments with eight rooms or
more are now co-operatives.
But these luxury apart
ments are strictly private
affairs, on private land, us
ing private money.

ment in which Mr.. Katter-
field is involved embraces

Interior designer Frances
Lee is busy shopping for the
new home of the Richard
Nixons in New York City,
and it's a pleasure she says
because she knows what they
want.
Some people are timid
about imparting this informa-
ton to decorators, and when
their home is finished 1t looks
more like the decorator than
the people who live in it,"
Miss Lee points out. But not
the Nixons. They have good
taste, some beautiful furnish
ings they've collected, and
they have definite likes and
dislikes. Their home will re-
fleet their own personalities"
Miss Lee has learned that
Pat Nixon doesn't like hur-
ricane lamps, lamp shades on
wall brackets and dislikes
anything that has to do with
cherubs.
And that's a big help, be-
cause I know what not to look
for" she points out. She's
also learned that their favorite
colors are turquoise and gold,
and that they like French and
Italian furnishings.
The Fifth avenue apart
ment the Nixons have bought
hasn't been decorated in %
years, so there will be lots Of
remodeling. Miss Lee explains
this will include a new kitch-
en-, removal of some walls, the
closing of others and install
lation of a new guest powder
room. Mrs Nixon does a great
deal of entertaining-lunch-
cons and dinners, and that is
one of her prime considera-
tons in planning her home,
she says.
Mrs. Nixon has always
lived in a house before and in
her last house in California,
she had white wall-to-wall

It has been settled among
sociologists that heredity and
environment are determining
factors in the life of Man.
There are those who hold that
heredity is largely responsible
for all geniuses and inventors,
Oh for all our criminals or fools.
Then there are those who dis
count almost entirely the place
of heredity and believe that en-
vironment is more important
in social life. For example,
John B. Watson, best known
for his behavioristic psycholo-
gy, seems to believe that with
the proper environment, one
may make a child into almost
any sort of genius or idiot one
may wish.
Now, these are the extreme
views. Nevertheless, they en-
phasize the fact that both
heredity and environment
greatly inuence the life of the
human Individual.
AS you know, environment
includes a persons surround
ings and external objects as
the community in which he
lives, and particularly his
neighborhood and living con-
ditions. In most cities there
are slums and wealthy sec
tions. A slum is generally de-
fined as a densely populated
area marked by conditions
Chat create an unhealthy and
low-standard environment,
unfit for human habitation.
Very often disease, crime and
juvenile delinquency are pre-
valent in these rundown
areas.
The slum, is Of course, the
area where economic and
, 1963-05-18

other choice is more limited.
Here are found all kinds of
people who are compelled to
live on a minimum income.
Here are found also high ra-
tics of poverty, delinquency,
and other induces Of social dis
organization as well as fami-
lies of recent foreign extrac-
ton, high birth and death
rates.
While the problem of slum
areas is not as acute in the Vir-
gin Islands as compared with
the large cities on the main
land of the United States, the
fact still remains that we must
do something in order to I'M
prove the living standards OF
the unfortunate families that
are forced to live under these
sub-standard conditions.
The present Administration,
under the leadership of Gov
ernor Ralph NJ. Paiewonsky,
with splendid cooperation
from the Legislature of the
Virgin Islands, is attacking
this problem vigorously and
on all fronts. Assistance, both
financial and technical, is
available from the Federal
Government. Stun clearance
programs on a small scale are
also being carried on by the
local government with local
funds.
In the Virgin Islands, slum
clearance is one of the activi-
ties of a broader program
known as urban renewal. The
objective of this program is to
improve the working and liv-
ing environment of our people
by clearing slums and devel-

To give the people of the area
an opportunity to participate
in the program, neighborhood
advisory committees are org
anized for each project. These
committees consisting OF own
ers, tenants and businessmen
in the project areas are kept
fully informed on all matters
and work with the Board IN
softening the impact which
urban renewal usually has on
the way of life of those affect
ed.
At the present time there
are three project areas:
/. Barracks Yard in St.
Thomas
2. Water Gut in Christian
sted, st. Croix
3. Lagoon Street in Freder-
iksted, St. Croix.
These redevelopment plans
for all three areas are basic
with regards to acquisition
and demolition of the sub
standard structures in the
areas, and that in Barracks
Yard and Water Gut those
buildings of architectural or
historical value would be re-
tanned. However, the plans
differ in this respect: There
will be housing and a Govern
ment Center at Barracks Yard;
a waterfront highway at
Water Gut, Christiansted,
while at Lagoon Street in
Frederiksted the entire area
will be used for the construc-
ton of new low-income hous-
ing under the Federal 221 (d)
81 program.
In carrying out these pro-
iects of slum clearance it will
be necessary to relocate about
370 families comprising over
1900 persons in better housing.
This will be accomplished

have discovered that the camel origi-

camels got to Africa is a mystery -
maybe they're good swimmers!

Well, grave robbers who
wouldn't bat an eye at rummaging

think twice about touching the tomb

used to store their treasure in pussy's
little pyramid.
And that, dear Virginia, was the
start of the Federal Reserve System.
