Real estate spokesmen, opposing the
Wagner housing bill, told the Senate
Labor Committee yesterday there was

testified there was a normal average
of vacancies, and that many builders
felt the country was getting into an
overbuilt condition"
The 100000 program proposed
by Senator Wagner, Democrat, OF New
York was branded by other witnesses
as unconstitutional, outside the func-
ton of the Government, and not
needed.
Herbert U. Nelson of Chicago, Sec
retary of the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards, said recent sur
vey showed 3 per cent of urban dwell
ings in 80 cities were vacant, and most
Of them were in low-rental apartments.
Walter Schmidt of Cincinnati, for
mer president of the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards, said
there was no need for the bill and
contended it would operate as de
stroyer of the urge to home owner
ship"
Its people who make slum areas,
not houses" Schmidt said. arguing
that new houses soon would deteri-
crate to the condition of present
dwellings in slum areas.
The issue of constitutionality was
raised by ]. o. Peterson of the Coun-
Gil of Real Estate Associations of New
York City.
1T is not a proper fuction of gov
ernment to provide houses for the
people" he said. If it provides
houses, why not food and clothes?"
Also denying housing shortage,
Peterson said the Wagner program
subsidizing local agencies for slum
clearance and loW-coSt housing would
bankrupt any city where it was car
ried out.

a Deputy U. S. Marshall, known as
