An assertion that The backbone of

Stewart Mcdonald. acting Federal
housing administrator.
In an address over a national hook
up, as part of the Master Builder pro-
gram, Mcdonald based one of the
first fiat assertions Of this kind by a
New Dealer in recent months mainly
on what he listed as &. progressive rise
in home building activity since early
Spring.
Describing the functions of the
Housing Administration, Mcdonald
asserted that its development of the
new, long term, elf-iiquidating mort
gage method not only vas helping to
restore properties % their former
values, but was a guarantee against
future collapse of the residential real
estate market.
Since early Spring the Federal
Housing Administration has seen
signs of a splendid return of home
building activity" he SAID. During
the three months ending June 80,
over 1872, 00C 900 in n1me loan mort
cages were selected fer approval as
being apparently suited for mutual
mortgage insurance under the Federal
Housing Administered ion plan, and
what is more, each succeeding month
has shown big gain oveI the previous
month.

means that the wheels of business
