D EADING the election returns of
N of an overwhelming Democratic
landslide last November, Charles
Nicholson, publicity director of the
Democratic national committee,
said: 1--WE will regret this" The
great party majorities in both
houses now show signs of splitting
into regional and economic blocs,
which is exactly what he was afraid
of. Biggest wedge in forcing tn e
split among the party ranks was, of
course. the Presidents bill for the
reorganization of the Supreme court.
This led long list of bills, many of
them expected to evoke heated con-
troversies in congress, which threat
ened to postpone adjournment to
mid winter. Indeed, it was
believed by some that if part of the
program were not postponed. this

The conference, he said, will provide
a timely opportunity for representa-
tives of local chambers of commerce
and the public generally to become IA
miliar with the programs Of the
important units in the building in
dustry to stimulate privately financed
low and medium priced residential
building. 1t is intended to develop a
constructive and positive program on
the part of the industry to overcome
the slackening in the last few months
of the rate Of increase in residential
building.
Figures Since 1880.
Mr.. Davis said the estimated num-
Der of urban dwellings built each
year since 1890 is as follows: 1890,
100000; 1881, $4,000: 1892. $4,000;
1888, $4,000; 1884. $4,000; 1888. l3s.-
900, and 1895. 275. 900 In announcing
the conference. Mr.. Davis continued:
For the years l920-2s the average
number Of family residential units
built in urban and rural non-farm
areas was $4,000. In 1928 private
residential building accounted for
some 40 per cent of total eleven bill
lion dollar volume Of private and pub
lie construction. In 1885 it account
ed for only 18 per cent OF total six
and three-quarter billion dollar vol
ume
AT the beginning Of 1887 it was
the general opinion that there would
be an increase this year over the 1885
volume OF between so and so per
cent. In the past few months. how
ever, the rate of increase has ma
terially slackened so that 1t now sp-
pears that the increase will scarcely
be more than half of that predicted.
1T is evident that the continued
recovery of residential construction is
important. The normal balance be-
tween private and public construction
needs to be restored. An increase in
private residential construction will
help restore this balance and also
will make substantial contribution to
general business recovery. This in
crease must depend upon private en-

American Chemical So.

at Chapel Hill

CHAPEL HILL, April Ia
(UP).-Harold X. Murdoch, re-
search expert in the wood pulp in.
dustry, last night warned southern
agriculturalists to conserve their
pine groves so that the South may
replace foreign sources of pulp
supply. .
Murdoch, research director Of
the Champion Paper and Fibre
company's pulp division, said the
rise of new pup mills in the South
soon will make the nation indie
pendent of foreign supplies of
pulp for making certain types OF
heavy paper.
Contrary to general belief, Muir
dock warned, the South does not
have all unlimited" supply Of
pine. He said the preferred
stands" of available wood already
were being depleted and the "fu.
ture of the pulp and paper indus
try in the South depends upon a
sustained wood supply"
Murdoch will attend the four
day convention Of the American
Chemical Society, opening here
today.
