June 4, 1981

An article in Business Day on Tuesday incorrectly reported a government action to reduce money available to banks and incorrectly stated the decline in the money supply for the latest reporting week. The Treasury Department acted on Monday to reduce deposits at several commercial banks. The money supply fell by $1.2 billion in the week ended May 20.

International France's minimum wage was raised by 10 percent and pension benefits were increased sharply by the new Socialist Government, which said that banks, oil companies and the rich would face higher taxes next year to help finance the programs. In their first major policy announcements, the Socialists also said they were abolishing some controversial authoritarian security practices that had been criticized by non-Gaullists. (Page A1, Columns 1-2.) Francois Mitterrand believes that the nations of the world are not making progress toward military or economy security, but he is philosophical about it. In his first interview since his election as President of France, he said that he favored a balance of power with Soviet forces in Europe and that he planned to nationalize some French industries.

House Ways and Means Committee Democrats agreed on the broad outlines of a two-year tax-relief bill. The White House promptly mounted a counteroffensive organized around a three-year tax bill as both sides jockeyed for support of conservative Southern Democrats. The Democratic proposal would cut tax rates by 5 percent in 1981 and 10 percent more in 1982. (Page A1.) U.S. auto sales by the Big Three manufacturers rose a weak 9.8 percent in the last 10 days of May from the very poor sales in the similar 1980 period. The seasonally adjusted annual selling rate for May was the lowest since last June, at 5.9 million units. (D1.)

TO some people, there's nothing to a space unless there's somewhere else to go - upstairs, downstairs, around or under. Changing levels is one of their pleasures. Although few city apartments or lofts lend themselves to this kind of design exhilaration, the exceptions offer both spatial solutions and a sense of drama. Spiral staircases, cantilevered stairs and overhanging catwalks are not for families with small children or for those with vertigo. Because it is the clients rather than the designers who must live in the spaces, facing likes and dislikes about changing levels is a primary concern.
