Freak Net Shot
Gets Riggs by
MILDLY Rival
Win Over Hunt Puts
Bobby in Semis at
Southampton
By the Associated Press.

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. A.
The bitterest feud in tennis-one
which gains more rancor as it grows
more one-sided-still was hot today,
but the latest development in the
battle undoubtedly has given both
Bobby Riggs and Joe Hunt, Naval
Academy midshipman, more respect
for each other.
They have carried their rivalry
through SO tough struggles, now,
with Riggs winning 81, the latest
three-set, As, 6-3, Is clash which
sent the Chicagoan into the semi
finals Of the Meadow Club tourney
yesterday.
Freak Shot Ends Match.
Hunts game battle, which enabled
him to deuce the third set long after
he was worn down by the heat of his
own recent inactivity, impressed
Riggs as he hadn't been impressed
before throughout their long feud.
Tired as he was, Hunt in the end
was beaten by freak shot. Riggs,
having lost two match-point oppor-
tunltleS, had his third chance to win
in the twelfth game. He returned
one of Hunts fiat drives and Joe
was set for the ball. But it nicked
the net cord and dropped to the turf
a foot out of Hunts reach.
Riggs Plays Kamrath.
Riggs plays Bob Kamrath of Aus
tin, Tex, in the semi-fnals today.
Kamrath advanced when Henry
Prusoff, who eliminated Bitsy Grant
the opening day, defaulted due to
trouble from an old injury.
The lower bracket semi-fnalists
are Sidney Wood of New York and
Ernest Sutter of New Orleans.
Wood defeated George Toley of Los
Angeles and Sutter disposed of Bob
Peacock of Berkeley. Calf.

STOP WINDOWS
AND SAVE FUEL

An important factor in home in
sulation this winter will be the use
of storm-sash windows, which be-
cause Of proven fuel economies
have been growing In popularity
each year.
Where these storm sash are used
the insulating wall of captive air
between the two sheets Of glass
keeps the inner window glass near
room temperature. Where only one
glass serves the window the cold
outside air chills the glass to
nearly its own temperature, while
on the inside the warm air is chilled
In contact with this cold glass.
Recent studies have shown that
large fuel economies are possible
with storm-sash windows in those
areas where winters are severe, be-
cause glass areas are known to be
one of the greatest sources Of heat
loss in the home.
In addition, the pocketed air
space between the regular window
and the storm sash has sound in
sulation qualities and tends to
deaden street noises, which are
magnified by the stiffness of win
ter air.

Ohio. president OF the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
says: II am convinced that this
Is the most favorable time that
has occurred in many years for
the purchase of a home, for the
following reasons:
Interest Rates: Interest rates
are now the lowest in the history
OF home financing in this country,
but money rates in general are
beginning to become firm and will
undoubtedly advance. A 1ee saw
ing in interest means under the
usual conditions of home buying
as much as 1870 saving on the
ultimate cost. Home mortgage
rates. with the assurance of safety
they now offer. may lag behind
any general rise in money price,
but will be affected by change in
general levels. II interest rates
advance, the home buyer who acts
now will be in a strong position. !"
Construction Costs: "Construc-
ton costs for new homes are at
present favorable and builders are
giving more convenience and quail
ity per dollar at present than at
any previous time. There are signs
throughout the country that the
costs of both materials and labor
will advance"
Influence of governmental action:
1.-THE federal government will un-
doubtedly increase its activities In
seeking to assist the clearance of
slums and the rebuilding Of blight
ed areas. IL. as we hope, govern
ment should abandon direct build
ing. and instead undertake the
task of demolition and land assem-
bly,, leaving to private initiative

ship. Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald said.
FLA Judgment Given
After careful study Of the pros
ent situation In consultation with
field officers. lender, builders. and
others. the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration sums up its judgment
as follows:
Recent events. worldwide In
their influence. have introduced a
large number Of uncertainties into
the economic life OF every nation.
They have come into the life Of
our own nation and into the field
Of home building and are affect
ing this field in a number Of COM
munities.
so far. the effect of these de-
velopments Is to produce con-
siderable amount OF questioning
with respect to the trend OF build
ing prices In this country. This
questioning with respect TO the
future Is a definite and concrete
factor in the home-building and
home-buying market. II Is pos
sible that in this situation efforts
may be made to take advantage
OF the uncertainty and promulgate
price increases, which are entirely
unjustified by the underlying fac
tors in the situation.
Cost Increase Unlikely
AT the present time the Fed
eral Housing Administration can
see no reason for any marked in
crease In the cost of construction
and home ownership. 1t may be
that a continued struggle in Eur
ope will produce circumstances in
this country that will justify some
increases in the price of some OF
the items entering into the cost
OF building. But these circum-
stances are yet too nebulous to
anticipate with any degree of sc-
curacy.
Furthermore, the Federal Hous-
ing Administration can see no rea-
son why families which have been
contemplating the purchase of
home should hesitate to do 30 at
justifiable current prices.'
