Secure home sought for secretary of state
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — The State Department, with an eye to security, is looking for a tax-conscious patriot to donate a "comfortable house" as a permanent residence for the secretary of state, officials said this week.
needs said this week. No Cabinet member has an official residence, although taxpayers provide temporary homes in Washington for the president and vice president.
Clement Conger, the State Department's curator, said he had been asked to keep his ears open on the social circuit for a suitable house that could be made safe from terrorist threats.
"Mr. Conger has been asked to see whether he can find a suitable property whose owner is willing to donate it to the government," a department spokesman said.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID the secretary of state needed an official residence primarily because of the cost of putting essential security and communication equipment into the residence of each new secretary of state.
The donor would get a tax break and the taxpayers would save money because the need to install new security equipment for each new secretary would be eliminated, officials said.
More than $1 million has been spent for security equipment at residences of the last five secretaries, he said, responding to questions about the house search, first reported by the New York Times on Monday.
Conger, in a telephone interview, described it as a low-key effort and said he didn't think Secretary of State George Shultz knew anything about it. So far, he said, no prospects have turned up.
CONGER, WHO HAS helped persuade many wealthy Americans to donate antiques to help adorn official State Department entertaining rooms, said that a mansion was not necessary because the secretary met his official social obligations at the department headquarters in Washington's Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
"We don't need a huge house," he said. "We just need a comfortable house."
Department spokesman Brian Carlson said Shultz had made it clear that he would not move into such a residence if one was obtained but was not opposed to the idea of a house for the secretary of state.
"His place is already fixed up. He's happy there. He doesn't want to move." Carlson said. "It's fine for his successor, but he doesn't want to pack up his house all over again."
The department has turned down three offers of houses in the last 20 years for various reasons. Conger said. But department security officials, concerned by terrorist attacks in the Middle East, have given the idea another look.
Conger described these offers turned down over the past two decades:
**William Castle, a retired diplomat, offered a home on S Street Northwest with a big garden that would have been helpful from a security viewpoint.**
viewpoint.
*The wife of Robert Lowe Bacon, a congressman from New York, offered a home at the corner of F and 18 Streets Northwest that ended up as a clubhouse for retired foreign service officers.
- The wife of John Maurice Morris, who was head of the American Bar Association, offered a historic 19th century wood frame house that had been taken in Massachusetts and reassembled on Washington's Kalorama Road Northwest in 1832.
New house sales increase after January market lag
WASHINGTON — Sales of new houses spurted 6.2 percent in February after dropping 0.5 percent in January the Commerce Department said last week.
By United Press International
The bench mark annual rate of house sales reached 638,000 based on February's sales activity, the department said. That rate was just slightly under the sales rate all last year of 639,000 new houses.
The average house price reached $101,300 in February — just $100 under the record set in November. The average for all of last year was $97,600.
The January slowdown in sales discouraged builders but did not prevent a 5.3 percent increase in single family housing purchases in February.

"Yeah, you know when you have a big one on your line." Russell said.
"Anything that wiggles and moves, they'll eat," he said.
LAST YEAR, THE biggest fish dragged into the bait shop weighed 61 pounds, said Judy Higgins, the shop's owner.
And when these fish bite, they really bite.

"I didn't do it," Higgins said. "I didn't want to tangle with no fish in the water. They have rough teeth like a man's wiskers. They can tear a man's hide off."
Jim Russell, Lawrence resident, baits his hook in hope of catching something to fill the frying pan. He was fishing Easter day on the Kaw River dam across from the Bowersock Mills and Power Co., Sixth and New York streets. Russell never caught the big one. He had to settle for a lot of nibbles and a five-inch channel catfish, which he tossed back.
"Everyone assumed that he went under the dam." Judy Higgins said, "But they never found anything."

poymnm or sovet russian warhead SS-20 missiles targeted on Western Europe.
Gorbachev said the moratorium would last until November and he urged the United States to stop simultaneous deployment of 2 and cruise missiles in western Europe.
BUT THE WHITE House quickly dismissed the move as "not enough," citing a 10-1 Soviet superiority in medium-range nuclear missiles in Europe.
The deployment of 572 medium-range U.S. missiles in five European nations began in late 1983 as part of a 1979 NATO plan to counter the SS-20s. The United States said the Soviets had 414 SS-20s operational, two-thirds of them aimed at western Europe. Tass said yesterday that U.S. officials used "state action" to protect their troops to reopen Gorbachev's proposal and accused them of ignoring the American lead in other nuclear warheads. Tass also said U.S. officials failed to include British and French forces in their missile count.
