Twenties Get New Balcony,
'But No Portrait of HST

NBA Washington Correspondent
WrA&HlNGTCK—(NBA)— Bureau of Printing aiii Engraving is pre-
paring to issue a new $20 bill. II you'll took at the badt tfde of
one of the present twenties, you'll see; why. It shows a picture of the
front of the White Hou«e But it doesn't show Harry Truman's bal-
cony on the Sontt portico.
Mdst people think this i.^ the back of the White House. The 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, entrance side of the White House grounds, jp.
usually considered the front, but it isn't.
Bureau of Engraving Director Alvin H Hall says new official photo-
graphs showing the balcony have already been taken, and engraving
plates have been made. Printing hasn't begun yet. But the new
"balcony bills" should begin to show up in circulation in about six
irionths.
Andrew Jackson's picture appears on the front of the bill It will j
stay there. There isn't any chance that Hpi ry Truman's likeness will |
be substituted, to go along with his balcony. It's against the rules to
p^t any Presider.:'.. face on.a coin or stamp while he's still living.
Tl>e pie ent S20 bill design, fir°t to use the White House, wfis origi-
nally (ft'ied In 1929. Th.it was when the present small-sixed bills
were substituted for the big bills of previous issues. There hasn't
been a new design since.
JHjR^Atr OF MINT .wishes that people would stop asking why
Joe Stalin * initials appear in very small type below the profile of
Fftinklin p. Roosevelt on the 1847 Roosevelt dimes. The J S. doesn't
stnnd for Joe Stalin at all, but for John Sinnock, famous engraver of
the mint, who died a year ago last April. Somehow this Stalin rumor
got' started by word of mouth, and it won't die. During his years of
service with the mint. Sinnock designed many memorial coins and
many foreign coins whieh the U. S. mint made for other countries.

Housing experts now look to the "expansible"' house as one of the
best solutions for present high f-osts of home building. The principle
is to build a minimum house for present needs of the'family, then add
rooms or wings as needed. —•
This Wei is not ttf*. Federal Housing Administration has issued
an excellent basic booklet on six approved types pi expansible house.
But the Idea has not been pushed try contractors.
One pre-fab builder has made designs and estimates on a house
that would cost $14,000 If completed. Biit by eliminating biserrient,
putting in one bedroom on the first floor and leaving the entire upstiirs
unfinished, he figures the cost can be cut to about $7500.

yuestioiied ore of 4ts nawly- cfectsd
members, Archie Parr, about how |
folks voted in his part of the state. ,
"We have our friends and our |
enemies," Kaplan quoted the elder |
Parr. "Sometimes when our firends ,
are working, we vote the.nu We
have their paid-up Doll tax .re-
ceipts."
Still quoting tlve conversation of
years ago, Kaplan's article con-
tinued:
"Isn't it true. Senator, that you
pay_these poll taxes?"

This chart, based on data in Secretary of Agriculture Sawyer's
quarterly report on exports under decontrol, shows how hungry
the world's brbad trade areas are for U. S goods. Before the war,
the U S. supplied about 15 per cent of the value of goods imparted
by other nations. Total U & exports In 1947 hit an all-time high
of about <15,200,000,000. and goods went out in the .first half of
