Nixon has more plays
in economic game plan
By RAY McHUGH
Chief, Washington Bureau
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - Govern
ment moves to prevent any sag
in a booming housing market
indicate President Nixon has
embarked on an economic
management program that will
continue well beyond the 90-day
wage-price freeze.
Treasury Secretary John
Connally already has said it is
“highly unlikely” that all
government controls will be
removed on Nov. 13.
Housing was the one bright
spot in the domestic economic
scene, B. F. (before the
freeze). Mortgage sales
averaged $3 billion a month the
first half of 1971. But the
demand was beginning to
weaken as interest rates began
to edge upward again. After
rates as high as 9 per cent in the
“tight money” days of 1969-70,
the jam broke late last year.
Rates tumbled into 6.5 to 7 per
cent range. Since June they
have begun to climb. Some
parts of the country now report
7.4 per cent interest.
President Nixon has not
frozen interest rates. Nor has
he turned to the Federal
Reserve Board to pump funds
into the nation’s demand
deposit requirements for
savings and loan institutions,
thus releasing an estimated
1800 million for home mort
gages.
At the same time, the
Federal Home Loan Insurance
Corp, has made an extra S3OO
million available' to buy
Federal Housing Ad
ministration and Veteran
Administration mortgages, and
has cut its handling charges,
reducing the cost of a $20,000
mortgage by S6OO.
The two moves are expected
to ease interest rates back
toward 7 per cent and get the
home mortgage market back to
the $3 billion a month pace.
Boosts also are in sight for

The Commerce Department
predicts 2,040,000 housing
starts this year, up 39 per cent
over 1970.
If Mr. Nixon can combine a
high level of housing activity
with a marked increase in
automobile sales, government
officials say, he may be able to
loosen wage-price controls by
late fall or early winter.
But the emphasis is on the
word “loosen.”
Normal stimuli provided by
housing and automobiles are
important in administration
planning. Although prices are
frozen, there is no early sign
that the public is ready to dig
into record savings and em
bark on a general buying spree.
For 90 days there will be a
“wait and see" attitude unless
other nongovernment in
centives come into play.
The loss of expected wage
increases will temper some of
the hoped-for buying surge.
Technically, housing costs
and land prices are bound by
the price freeze. This will be
difficult to enforce, ad
ministration figures admit.

Lincoln Memorial

By EDWARD NEILAN
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - Pause on
the front steps of the Lincoln
Memorial some afternoon and
you’re bound to meet someone
you know.
If there is a tourist
crossroads in the nation’s
capital, this is it.
Just the other day, inquiring

Few Americans recognized
the greatness of Abraham
Lincoln while he lived. But the
perspective of time and history
has molded a national and
international image.
Lincoln served as 16th
president of the United States
(1861-65), but it is the character
of the man beyond
statesmanship and politics that
is best remembered.
It is a rare politician, indeed,
who can capture the public
imagination for practicing the
virtues of tolerance, honesty
and whose life and mind and
character become enduring

Some prospective home
buyers may decide to wait out
the 90-day freeze in the hope
that prices and interest rates
will dip lower. Qualified
Washington observers say
cheaper housing is not in the
cards.
"The voluntary nature of the
wage-price freeze puts a limit
on its effectiveness,” said a
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
official.
“It's fair to expect after 90
days — or maybe a further
short extension — that wages
and prices will be released.
There is bound to be an upward
movement, even if some kind of
national wage-price
stabilization committee is
formed."
What is important, the of

market incentives be en

that productivity and com

inspiration to the world.
Abraham Lincoln was bom
on Feb. 12, 1809, near
Hodginsville, Ky. He grew up in
a primitive environment and
knew none of the advantages of
good schooling, wealth, or
social position.
Yet he became proficient in
the law and rose from political
obscurity to become president
of the United States during one
of the bloodiest civil wars ever
fought.
War, which has away of
testing a man’s worth, put
Lincoln to the supreme test;
and when he died from an
assassin’s bullet in 1865, he was
mourned and elevated to
greatness by people the world
over.
The first organized effort to
erect a monument to Lincoln in
Washington came two years
after his death, when an act of
Congress, approved March 29,
1867, incorporated the Lincoln
Monument Association.
The association appealed for
subscriptions and prepared
plans for a monument, but
nothing was accomplished. The
years passed and, although
many subsequent efforts were
made to secure a memorial, it
was not until February, 1911,
that Congress passed the
legislation that procured it.
Workmen broke ground at
the memorial site on Feb. 12,
1914, and the cornerstone was
laid a year later.
As work progressed, the
commission chose Daniel
Chester French to sculpture the
Lincoln statue and Jules
Guerin to design and execute
murals for the end walls. The
completed memorial was
dedicated on Memorial Day,
May 30, 1922.

Basilica of Guadalupe
in danger of collapse
By JAMES BUDD
Copley News Service
MEXICO CITY - The most
visited of Christian shrines in
the Americas, the Basilica of
Guadalupe, the two-and-a-half
century-old church erected to
shelter the venerated image of
the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe,
is in danger of collapse.
Six major cracks have split
the walls of the basilica and it is
gradually sinking into the
spongy soil of the long-dry lake
bed on which much of this
Aztec capital is located.
“We have made a number of
repairs,” said a spokesman for
Msgr. Guillermo Schulenberg,
abbot of the basilica. “The
present building is safe for the
next ten years. It can be saved.
“But we need a bigger place,
a much bigger place.”
The present basilica dates
back to 1610, when the first
stone was laid, although it was
not completed for nearly 100
years. It was dedicated in 1709,
and has been restcred twice, in
the 1890 s and the 19305.
The basilica itself covers an
area of over 22,000 square feet
but it and the vast plaza around
the structure are jammed on
Sundays and feast days, par
ticularly Dec. 12, the date of
Our Lady of Guadalupe’s
fourth and last appearance
to Juan Diego, the Mexican
Indian, in 1531.
An average of 15,000 persons
a day, Mexicans and pilgrims
from the rest of the world, visit
the basilica. On special oc
casions, their numbers are
multiplied many times over.
“Visitors really can do little
more than come in for a quick

Ancient wonder ship
'Great Britain 7 returns
By JOHN BUNKER
Copley News Service
BRISTOL, England - After
spending many years as a long
forgotten hulk in the distant
Falkland Islands, the historic
Great Britain is home here
again, tied up at the same dock
where she was launched with
royal sponsorship, gran
diloquent oratory and fanfare
128 years ago.
A national campaign has
been launched for funds to
restore the ship as a symbol of
Britain’s one-time
preeminence on the seas.
It was a July day in 1843 that
a band struck up “God Save the
Queen” and, with flags and
bunting waving around him,
the royal consort, His Royal
Highness Prince Albert, broke
a bottle of champagne against
the hull and said, “I christen
thee Great Britain.”
Newspaper reports of the day
called the ship a “mastodon,”
and with reasons. She was the
largest ship afloat, measuring
324 feet from stem to stem,
with a breadth of 51 feet and a
displacement of 3,600 tons. “A
vessel of unparalleled vast
ness,” said one newspaper
editorial of the day.
Not only was the ship unique
in size. Great Britain was the
first large ocean-going ship to
be built of wrought iron and the
first to replace the paddle
wheels with a screw propeller,
introducing a new system of
days,” said Jesus Rodriguez, a
lay administrator. “They
really have no time to pray,
and that is not right.”
Faithful of all cultural, social
and economic levels visit the
Basilica of Guadalupe.
Then President John F.
Kennedy and Gen. Charles de
Gaulle of France both took time
out during state visits to
Mexico to go to the basilica.
What is the attraction?
The aging structure of
sandstone blocks and red lava
bricks marks the spot where
Our Lady of Guadalupe ap
peared to Juan Diego and
imprinted her image on his
handmade cloak.
The cloak itself, 440 years old
now, hangs above the main
altar.
Not even the most skeptical
of experts who have examined
it can explain how the image
was left on the garment, how
the colors have maintained
their brilliance, or how it is that
the fibers of the crudely woven
shawl have clung together
since 1531.
The miracle of the apparition
to Juan Diego played an im
portant part in the conversion
of Mexico’s Indians to the
Roman Catholic faith in the
early years of the Spanish
conquest, and even today the
Virgin of Guadalupe is a source
of hope and an object of faith of
the majority of the 50 million
people of Mexico.
The broad “calzada,”
boulevard, that runs the last
2V« miles between downtown
Mexico City and the basilica, is
daily the route taken by
organized pilgrimages in honor
of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Often the pilgrims are
ocean-going ship propulsion.
The engine drove a huge, six
bladed propeller. Her 1,000-
horsepower engine was the
largest in the world. She
sported six ponderous masts,
one of which weighed 19 tons.
The dining room was 100 feet
long. And most remarkable of
all, she was fitted with a series
of watertight bulkheads which
the builders promised would
make her unsinkable.
Great Britain was originally
designed to carry 360
passengers and a crew of 130,
plus premium cargo and mail.
Truly, she was the wonder
ship of the age.
Who else would have
designed such a giant and had
the temerity to build her but
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the
engineering genius from whom
anything could be expected in
the way of bold projects on the
grand scale? It was Brunel who
was building a railroad net
work across England, tun
nelling under the Thames and
constructing great bridges.
It was Brunel who was later
to build the huge Great
Eastern, a ship so far ahead of
her time that no one knew what
to do with her after she was
built She later proved an ideal
vehicle for laying the Atlantic
cable.
After years of con
struction, Great Britain made
her first trip in July of 1845,
crossing from Liverpool to New
peasants who may have spent
weeks walking hundreds of
miles from provincial towns
and villages to Mexico City to
visit “la virgencita.”
Sometimes they are factory
workers, taxi drivers or union
groups that bear banners and
bouquets for the Virgin.
Most spectacular, perhaps, is
the annual pilgrimage of the
balloon vendors, who come
with thousands of brightly
colored gas-filled balloons that
they release en masse as they
gather in the plaza in front of
the basilica.
It is for all of these, as well as
for the small family groups, the
huarached peasant, his wife
and wide-eyed little children, to
whom a visit to the Virgin of
Guadalupe may well be a life’s
ambition, that plans for a new
basilica are being considered.
Location for the new church
is expected to be atop the Cerro
de Tepeyac, the little hill
behind the present basilica.
When the new church is built,
the existing structure will
become a museum.
There is talk that the next
basilica of Guadalupe may be
the biggest church in the
Western Hemisphere. But the
abbot’s office declines com
ment.
The project must first be
approved by Rome and it must
also meet the specifications of
the Mexican government.
Under Mexican law, all
churches are property of the
government.
As Abbot Schulenberg said
recently, the new basilica is not
expected to be completed for
some time. “The building of
churches takes centuries," he
explained.
York in 14 days and 21 hours at

She carried sails for auxiliary
power and to tiring her home in
case of engine breakdown or
shortage of coal.
The liner’s brief career in the
North Atlantic passenger trade
ended when she went ashore on
the coast of Ireland in 1847.
Repaired and rerigged, she
was put into the Australian
immigrant trade, taking
thousands of settlers to the new
colony “down under” over a
period of 20 years. On her first
voyage out in 1852, she carried
630 passengers and $5 million in
silver and gold.
The big ship also proved
useful as a* trooper, rushing
British soldiers to the Black
Sea during the Crimean War.
In 1882, when the owners
considered her approaching the
end of her useful life, the
engines were removed and
Great Britain took on the less
glamorous role of a collier,
freighting coal from Welsh
ports to the American West
Coast.
In 1886, the ship was badly
beaten by winds of hurricane
force while trying a westward
passage around Cape Horn
and, like many another vessel,
retreated to the Falkland
Islands for rest and repairs.
But repairs proved too costly
and Great Britain was aban
doned there, sold for use as a
storage hulk on the mud flats of
Port Stanley.
