RvF, ELIOT MIDDLETON

ByF. ELIOT MIDDLETON
Pres, Washington Real Estate Board
In rejecting on the condition Of
washington real estate over Q period
OF several years. one finds upon close
analysis the stability often men
toned by authorities capable Of OBJ
serving conditions peculiar to this
commodity in the Nations Capital.
It is, of course, impossible to think
of real estate in this or any other
city as being entirely immune to
fluctuation in value. Some few
losses have been experienced during
the last five or six years, but ON
the whole throughout the city and
its suburban area in all classes Of
property the negligible degree Of loss
Is thoroughly deserving Of comment
This is particularly true when placed
side by side with the losses sustained
in other lines Of investment
Real estate IL necessarily slow In
liquidation, and some losses have
been taken simply on account OF
Impotence Of holders. With this
in mind many Of the older and ex-
perienced investors in the stagnant
days Of 1932-1933 began buying ct
low levels and have already gained
reward of their wisdom.
With the aid Of Government agen-
cies directly in the real estate field.
such as Hole. RFC and FLA, and
the indirect aid caused by estab-
lishment Of various bureaus In the
Capital creating demand for all kinds
Of space, the market quickly re-
sponded and Is now definitely on
the upward trend. Fortunately, this
trend is gradual and on . decidedly
conservative and justifiable basis in
direct contrast to the sky-rocketing
prices Of postwar days. which were
primarily without foundation and
entirely unjustified. Through more
thorough Interpretation Of basic
value Of real estate a recurrence Of
those conditions Is not likely to be
seen.
With due consideration Of all facts
and conditions Of the Washington
real estate market today, it, past
performance, its present and future
outlook, it bids fair to outshadow
almost any other conservative In
vestment available to the small as
well IS the large investor.

By CHARLES ]. RUSH
Executive Secretary

The modern business world Is fully
aware Of the value Of group action:
It IL exemplified in associations OF
all kinds, such as real estate boards,
chambers Of commerce, service clubs
and fraternal organizations.
Just as O bank assemblies in one
pool the individual financial credits
Of the community, Just 50, q real
estate board assemblies and mobiltzes
the constructive influences Of its
various members into one powerful,
united force. This force, when
rightly guided, results in that mar
velous power we call credit, reputa-
ton or general standing with the
public A favorable public sentl-
ment is the result Of the proper
guidance of this mighty force. Pub
lie sentiment, according to Abraham
Lincoln, is the one essential OF sue
cess. Lincoln said, With public sem
timent, anything succeeds; without
it, nothing succeeds"
The Washington Real Estate Board.
in q very high degree, merits and
receives the complete confidence Of
the National Capital area. This Ii
due to its splendid leadership down
through the years. This leadership
has comprised many Of the best and
ableSt citizens of this great city We
have fought for the square deal in
real estate; this fight has been in
the interests Of the taxpayers ana
property owners, and they have re-
turned this service in unqualified
confidence in this Board.
This Is exemplified every day by
numerous telephone calls and per-
sonal visits, testifying every one Of
them, to the complete confidence
that the general public has in this
institution. It Is sacred trust to
all Of US to preserve and transmit
to those who come after Us.
Not only Is this confidence shown
by the people at large, but by lead
erS Of other organizations. The con-
fidence Of the public enjoyed by this
Board belongs, not only to the Board
itself, but especially to our mem
berS. It Is our ambition that each
member shall capitalize on this In
his own business and that this con-
fidence enjoyed by the Board shall
be extended to each member thereof
so that he, too, may feel and enjoy
the impetus and power inherent In
such great public force.
The organization known as the
Washington Real Estate Board and
its parent body, the Real Estate
Brokers Association Of the District
Of Columbia, organised during 1913s
Is today carrying out the ideals ex.
pressed many years ago. The Wash.
tngton Real Estate Board came into
existence during 1921, and since then
has devoted its efforts towards main.
tanning q high standard Of business
practices and offering q meeting
place for the discussion Of problems
affecting the business Of real estate
brokers for the benefit Of their
clients and the public.

GOLFERS LOSE TO
ROCKY MOUNT TEAM
Henderson Bowled Over by
Benvenue Club Yester-
day by IL to 9 Score

West End Country Club golfers
were bowled over yesterday in their
match with Benvenue Country Club
at Rocky Mount IL to 9, the worst
defeat of their inter-city season this
year.
Henderson carried 80 players to
Rocky Mount, and they were enter
tanned at a luncheon at the club house
prior to the match.
Last Thursday afternoon, Hender-
son whipped Rocky Mount here by a
score of 80 1-2 to 10 IL.
With so many of the players in
Rocky Mount yesterday for the inter-
city match, the annual eliminations
for the championship of the club were
practically at standstill, there be-
ing no matches run off over the local
course, Some of the players who did
not go to Rocky Mount practiced over
the local course yesterday for the
remainder of the matches this week.

but the sensational Brown Bomber"
from Detroit is an odds-on favorite
to polish off the German as easily
and perhaps more speedier than he
attended to Primo Camera and Max
Baer in the same arena last year.
All hope Of another million-dollar
gate has been abandoned. Mike JAG
obs the promoter, still will bet the
show nets 100000. but last minute
estimates are that the gallery will to-
tai no more than 10000 and that the
pay-off will be on 100000.
There is virtually no Schmeling
money at odds Of to /.
What little wagering is being done
in the Broadway books is that Louis
will score kayO in four rounds at
even money; that Schmeling doesn't
come up for TIL" sixth heat at s to 5
that the bout doesn't go 10 rounds at
20 to l and that Louis wins by sleep

Graham Managers
Go Over To Hoey
CONTINUED from Page One)

On the other hand the Hoey head
quarters has almost daily announced
a list of ardent Graham hackers who
have declared themselves for the vet
eral Shelby Democrat.
Already more than a score of coun-
ty managers for Graham have not
only come out openly for Hoey, but
they have figurately, and in many
cases literally taken off their coats
and gone to work.
This list OF managers includes some
of the most potent of the Graham
leaders-men who either carried their
counties for the HillSboro candidate,
or who came so close to doing SO that
they had good reason to be proud of
their work.
In some counties, notably in New
Hanover, caucuses of Graham and
Hoey leaders have been held and new
general campaign committees form
ed. In others, the Graham manag-
er have been named co-manager with
the Hoey leader. In others Sandy's
hackers has just gone to work with
no change in the nominal head of the
organization.
In New Hanover, where r. B. Page
handled Hoeys campaign in the first
primary, and Alan Marshall conduct
ed an effective drive that Sandy Ora
ham won the county when the odds
were three to one on Mcdonald, a
general meeting of Hoey and Graham
leaders has been held and William
B. Campbell, a former State senator
and chairman of the county execu-
tive committee, has been chosen to
lead the "allies" in a drive to COM
plete,y route the McDonaldites in
the Firecracker Bay voting.
There, too, State Senator Harriss
Newman, chairman of the 1885 Sen
ate Finance Committee, has vocally
and actively espaused the cause Of
Mr.. Hoey. In the first campaign he
was one of Graham's most outspoken
advocates. Other counties which con-
solidation moves have brought the
following Graham managers actively
into action in cooperation with Hoey
forces are:
BERTHE, ]. A. Pritchett, Windsor;
Brunswick, S. 3. F'rink, Southport;
Cumberland, @. K. Nimmocks, Jr.,
Fayetteville; Davis, S. r. Bessent,

Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-06-18

the present State prohibition law still
in effect in 83 counties in the State,
and set up either county or State Ii
quor stores and liquor control, they
can do so whether DR.. Mcdonald or
Mr.. HOey is governor. And if a ma
JOrity in either the Senate or House
should be against changing the pre-
sent laws and against any form of
county option, county control or le-
galizing the sale Of liquor, neither Dr.
Mcdonald nor any one else could
force the enactment of such a law.
For in North Carolina, the General
Assembly is supreme and can do ex-
actly as it pleases without asking the
governor why or wherefore, since it
is the only State in which the gov
ernOr has no veto power.
Accordingly, most observers here
are in accord with the statement
made yesterday by MIR Hoey in reply
to the charges made by DR.. Mcdonald
and his managers to the effect that
the reason DR.. Mcdonald is now adj
vocating county liquor stores and
county option is because "his tax pro-
gram and impossible promises have
utterly collapsed and he is under the
necessity of getting new prejudice. "
They also agree with Mr.. Hoey that
there "are two explanations of his
CDR. McDonald's) sudden conversion
on the liquor question, which Mr..
HOey outlined as follows:
Zone is that he hopes to try to fool
the voters in the counties now hav-
ing liquor stores and get their votes
upon a promise designed to conceal
his crawling hypocrisy.
"The other is that he is holding out
his hand to wholesale liquor dealers
in tie North and West pleading with
them to finance his campaign with IL
quor money, while his State manager
gives forth a bombastic howl that inn
moral money is going to be used IN
the campaign by our forces
While Mr.. Hoey again reiterated his
first campaign statement with regard
to liquor, to the effect that he was
lifelong dry, personally and politi-
cally, and had not changed either his
opinion or position on the liquor ques
ton he also expressed his belief in
the Democratic principle of majority
others, it is pointed out.
With regard to the charge maze by
the Mcdonald forces that Mr. Hoey is
really in favor of State liquor control,
rather than county liquor control Mr.
HOey said:
II did not say that I was in tavor
of State control, but said expressly
that 1 was sponsoring no particular
method of control and that is my Po-
sition now"
That Mr.. Hoey recognizes the TACT
that the legislature and only the leg
islature can change present llquor
laws or enact new ones and that the
governor has no power to keep tne
legislature from doing anything II
may want to do along this line IS III.
Dictated in that part of his statement
| in which he said:
"a majority Of the members or inc
| General Assembly have already peen
nominated and, therefore, the respon-
sibility for determining the particular
method of liquor control will have 10
be determined by thel legislature Inc
| governor can neither vote for nol
veto this legislation. Hence the pur-
! pose of DR.. Mcdonald in introducing
| this issue at this time is so apparent
| that he will not be able to fool any
| body by his chamelion-like attitude
| on the liquor question"

GERRY CURTIS
GIVEN POSITION
In WASHINGTON
TO BECOME NATIONAL d.
RECTOR OF BEAUTIFICA-
TON; PLANS TO LEAVE
TOMORROW MORNING

j. Gerry Curtis, for the past
&c months connected with the
FERA AMI later the WPA in Key
West, leaves tomorrow morning
for Washington where he will
become national director of beau
LITIGATION and landscape projects
Of the Rural Resettlement Admin
istratiOn.
He rendered his resignation to
Thomas d. Orr, district director
Of the WPA here, over the week
end when it was accepted, follow
ing receipt of notice of his ap-
/ ointment from Washington.
Mr.. Curtis came to Key West
when the rehabilitation program
under the FERA first started in
July, 1884. Since then, he has
directed the Identification work
carried on here, and for some
time also was director of opera
tions. He formerly was superir-
tendent of PARKS in Miami and
designed and superintended the
building of several of the parks
there, including Bayfront.
One of the activities which he
started in Key West in which he
takes considerable pride is the
manufacture of compost from
what had always been considered
in Key West nothing but waste
matter. By utilizing sawdust, sea-
weed, dairy fertilizer, Loggerhead
sponge and similar seemingly
useless materials he developed a
fertilizer which has been found to
be exceptionally effective in de-
veloping plants and grass on the
island.
The various Identification pro-
jects of the FERA and WPA
have all been under his direc-
ton. including the Botanical Gar
den. the aquarium grounds, the
grounds at the Art Gallery, and
Identification plots in various
parts of the city.
He will report in Washington
Friday morning for duties in his
new position.
