HOOVER URGES MORE
HOMES Be ERECTED

Washington, Aug. 2.-(P-Coordin-
ated effort to remove influences
which are depriving thousands Of
Americans of the advantages of home
ownership was set In motion today
at the direction of President Hoover.
Privately financed. and with its
studies directed at coordinating and
stimulating private effort rather
than seeking relief through legisla-
ton, a national conference on home
ownership and building has been
called by the president. A score of
associations representing the major
ity of the interests touching on the
problem were invited to detail their
chiefs as members of q planning com-
mittee which will make up the con-
ferenccs program.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that
financing conditions surrounding
home building have been extremely
bad and are particularly In need of
adjustment but this, he said, would
be only n phase of the conferences
work.
Greater comfort and reduction In
cost Of construction in many parts of
the country through improved design,
the better layout Of residential areas
are all Of first Importance" the pres.
ident said. THE expansion and bet
torment of homes In its bearing upon
comfort, increasing standards OF liv-
ing and economic and social stability,
is OF outstanding Importance"
One legislative angle which the
president said needed attention, how
ever, was the matter of mortgage
laws of many states which he said
should be studied with q view to de-
veloping a more intelligent attitude
to the home builder"
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that during
the past months Of depression there
has been so acute q shortage of cap
ital for home building that this
branch of construction had fallen off
greatly, while other forms OF credit
remained readily available.
The president said the building and
loan associations have been Of great
service In home financing but were
inadequate to carrying the burden
without aid. The curtailment of
home building construction, he said,
was a notable cause of unemployment
in the building trades.
Secretary Lamont will head the
planning committee and John M.
Cries. chief Of the division OF building
and housing Of the commerce depart
ment, will be executive secretary. The
planning committee itself will Get the
date for the conference.
