New Housing To Be Built In Downtown St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(U.P.)—Private developers are spending more than $20 million to make over eight square blocks of a rundown old business district in downtown St. Louis.
The aim is to create a new residential area right in the heart of the city.
There is no vacant land in the city. To put up a new building, an old one has to be torn down.
For more than 10 years businessmen and property owners have seen the St. Louis business district decline. The city seemed to be suffering from its own growth.

The first major interest to do something about the St. Louis problem—similar to problems faced by many cities—is a scheme known as the "Plaza Project."
It will cost $30 million and will turn a frowzy eight blocks east of the Union Station into a modern residential area. There will be five blocks of apartments for 1,150 middle income families and three blocks developed as a park.
Five years of surveys and planning lie behind the project. De-molition of the old buildings began last April. Everything in the eight block area except two churches was torn down.
Although St. Louis has been engaged in slum clearance since 1935 and has built-with federal funds —more than 7,800 housing units for low income families on the fringes of the downtown area, this is the first privately financed redevelopment in the city.

TV Program Points Up Taxes
WASHINGTON — (U.P.) Publicity for television's $64,000 question program is turning up in several odd places, such as the monthly letter of New York's First National City Bank.
Co-Feature
The Wall Street Journal has taken note of the program. Financial writers as a group are interested in it. The bankers are interested because they believe the $64,000 Question show is an effective argument against what they regard as a bad tax law.
"The program" says the bank's letter, "has provided a vivid illustration of the way confiscatory personal income tax rates stack the cards against risk-taking ventures. Tens of thousands of listeners (viewers) have seen people, because of tax rates, decide against taking the chance of turning $32,-000 into $64,000. They rebel, not unnaturally, when the internal revenue collector claims the major slice of the pie."
"Little Fugitive"
A single person winning the $32-
-000 would be assessed $15,460, reducing the actual prize money to
$16,600. If the contestant took the last step and doubled the $32,000 into $64,000, the additional tax bite would be $23,292. The take-home prize would be increased by only $8,708. The foregoing figures are from the bank's letter, which added:
The bank calculated that an unmarried contestant with a $4,-000 annual income would have to win $448,711.11 to acquire $64,000 of actual, take-home prize money. The tax collector's take of the $448,711.11 was calculated at $384,711.11.
"Thus he is risking an assured $16,000 for a chance to win an additional $8,708."
The bank argues that the same tax situation which discourages contestants from reaching for the $64,000 applies to businessmen with venture capital who refuse to risk it because of tax limitations on their possible return.
