UUMnSt..B. W. Houses Now Selling for Double Their True Worth A RE you one of those who are ** willing, under press of circum stances, to spend $6,000 to $T,000 out of your war savings to buy or build a home, and out of low grade mate rials too, and in 6 to 10 years see it deteriorate in value something like 65 per cent? In other words, are you willing to spend $6,000 today for a home, and in 10 years sell it for $2,100, and take a loss of $3,900? At any rate, whether you are willing or not, that's what likely will happen under present inflated values of homes and home construction. That's what hap pened after the last war, and that's what government, in the face of overwhelming opposition by the real estate lobby, is seeking to pre vent after this war. It is having little luck so far. And yon may be lucky if you don't lose the whole thing. After the boom and bust period which followed the last war, millions of home owners who had pur chased at inflated priees, not only lost their equity, but they saw the mortgage foreclosed and their homes go into the hands of insurance companies and other real estate mort gagors. Farmers were in the same boat. The only difference between now and after the last war is that now more land at inflated value is being purchased for cash than 25 years ago. Thus the purchaser of high cost farm land today stands a bet ter chance of evading the mortgage foreclosure . . . that is, he may save his land, but suffer the loss in value. Home Prices Jump 65% In a nation-wide survey recently completed by presidents of Federal Home Loan banks, regional mana gers of Home Owners Loan corpora tions, insuring officers of the Fed eral Housing administration, all constituents of the National Hous ing agency of which Mr. Wilson Wyatt is administrator . . . these results were disclosed: As between 1940 and 1946, low priced homes, homes selling under $8 ,000, have gone up 65.1 per cent, I medium priced homes, $6,000 to $12, 000, have gone up 57 per cent, raw land has jumped 60.1 per cent and fully prepared building lots have upped 61.8 per cent . . . and the report disclosed that this inflation held true in small towns and large cities alike . . . and some of these communities showed real estate prices skyrocketing as high as 100 per cent. The Pacific coast region led the parade of price rises with an aver age increase on low-priced homes of 96.3 per cent, while the Mid dle Atlantic region showed the smallest, at 44 per cent. Some of the answers to this in flated value of homes and home con struction are seen in the Wagner Ellender - Taft bill which the real estate lobby is opposing tooth and nail as "socialistic." The bill, how ever, is a long-range bill and will not answer the immediate problem, as the veterans' housing bill with its attendant subsidies seeks to do. LMOtu to future Needt This long-range measure, foresee ing a continued emergency demand for new housing for many years to i come, provides for the expenditure of some 6.8 billion dollars in pub lic money for slum clearance and public housing, both urban and rural development, offers federal loans where they cannot be ob tained by private loan, and pro vides for easy purchase or fair rent al. Despite the determined opposi tion, this bill saQed through the sen ate without even a roll-call record vote when the measure was passed. It appears to this writer that the result of this impartial sur vey shows clearly that without regulation inflation comes upon the heels of widespread de mand. In this instance, the greater demand is in low-cost homes, and that is where the greatest degree of inflation rests ... 65 per cent as compared to 57 per cent for the next bracket. It is for this reason that OPA and Housing - expediter Wyatt have been demanding price con trol of these homes and sub sidies to partially provide incen tive for material supply, and to ease the burden of costs with public money, i It appears, too, that instead of pre venting inflation in the real estate market, which is already here, the | objective now is to hold it from go '? ing farther out-of-bounds, if this can be done in the face of all the ob stacles which must be overcome. We have the certain lesson of the last war in front of us. We have the facts of the present to go upon and yet our psychological make-up is such that our fur is rubbed the wrong way when we are told through governmental regulation to do this or not to do this. What i we want, we want now. A SHORT while ago, we wera roaming the Cleveland land scape with a pretty fair old-timer. He was, and is, the Gray Eagle? only a trifle gray ae than Ka hcaH to be. The name is Speaker ? Tria Speaker ? the kid who came up from Hubbard City, Tex., near ly 40 years ago to become one of the great ball players of all time, both as an out-fielding hawk and a hitter, a hitter good enough to keep Ty Cobb from leading the league 13 consecu tive years. Tris Speaker won or saved many a ball game with his brilliant field ing and his hard hitting. But he will ingly agrees that when it comes to a winning percentage, the star pitcher is the winning factor. "Walter Johnson," Speaker said, "won if or more games a year over a period of If consecu tive years with a club that with out him probably would have been mired in the second divi sion. His average was about iff or maybe 30f per cent above his team's average. Washington without Johnson was a pushover. Washington with Johnson pitching was hard er to beat than any team in the league, including the Athlet ics, Tigers or the Red Sox. It's the same, today, when Newhous er, Feller and Chandler are Trie Speaker ffVTMUS. "The Red So* also have great pitchers, but they have a great team to back them up. What makes them so strong, at this point anyway, is that in addition to a fine ball club they also have the pitching. That makes it tough for any challenger. Great pitchers such as Ed Walsh, Nick Altrock and Doc White have carried weak-hitting teams to a pennant and a world's champion ship, as this trio did in 1906, but no set of hitters and fielders ever have carried weak pitchers anywhere out of the second division." All that is needed is to look over the individual pitching averages of Hal Newhouser of the Tigers, Bob Feller of the Indians and Spud Chandler of the Yankees and com pare them with the averages of their teams in the standing of the clubs. These three men have kept on win ning in spite of weak batting sup port at times. You've heard more than a little about the famous Gas House gang of St. Louis around 1934. They had their full share of good ball-players, but it was Dizzy Dean who pitched them into a pennant ? without Dizzy they would have finished six or eight games away, possibly more. ? m m Next Title Bout In the wake of the Louis-Conn championship fight it is only natural that the new gossip should concern the next title contest. It was gen erally understood ?that if Louis re tained his title his next fight would be against the winner of the Tami Mauriello - Jersey Joe Walcott elim ination contest. If Conn won there was to be a repeat engagement, meaning the best two out of three. Louis will have to have a Sep tember match for several reasons. One is need of money to pay his taxes and to square his account with Mike Jacobs. Another is that Joe isn't getting any younger and the years have begun to take their toll. He still can pick up another $90,000 net profit in a second fight. Outside of Conn and Louis, the heavyweight picture has been shy of talent for some time. Now Conn is definitely out. Promoter Mike Jacobs has been trying to get a real challenger ready for the last three years, bnt the snpply has been ex tremely thin. Lee Oma kicked himself out of the pietnre with his terrible showing against Jer sey Joe Walcott. Oma set an all-time record for wrecking a show, for refusing to make any part of a fight. Ton can throw Oma oat of any heavyweight picture that means anything. Jersey Joe Walcott may not be much of a heavyweight, as far as champions go, and the same can be said of Tami Mauriello. Still they seem to be the only ones left who have shown anything worth looking at ? and neither has shown too much. A Mauriello-Walcott meet ing might be no part of a thriller it doesn't figure to be?but at least it would be a clash between the two heavyweights who might slip into the spotlight in the wake of Louis and Conn. Financially, the sooner such a fight is scheduled, perhaps the bet ter. There has been an abnormal amount of loose money around. The amazing thing is that during the five years intervening between the first and second Louis - Conn parties, no other heavyweight has been developed who has any class. One might think that over a five year period, during which so much boxing was taught in the army and navy, some challenger would have been found. So far this is only an idle dream. Up to date no such animal has bean developed. * *
