Small Homes
Problem Given
More Attention
Architects Concluve
Shows Interest of
Thut Profession

, Manifestations of increased inter-
lest of architects in the field of small
home construction was perhaps the
most important development at the
convention of the American Insti-
tute of Architects held here this
week. The delegates devoted much
time to discussion of the problem of
furnishing badly needed architec-
tural service to the low-cost home.
The meeting brought together
leading designers from throughout
6he Nation. In addition, there were
present number of outstanding
architects from foreign countries.
These came to attend the Interna-
tional Congress of Architects, whose
sessions were to have been held con-
currently with institute meetings
The international session was called
of because of the European war.
The Producers Council, an affiliate
of the institute, which is composed
of representatives of leading build
Ing materials manufacturers, held
its meetings along with the archi-
tects.
AS means of improving design
and construction of low-cost homes,
speakers at the convention urged
closer cooperation of architects in
making success of the Home
Building Service Plan. This service
was set up several years ago by the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board in
cooperation with the institute and
the Producers Council.
Mutual Benefit Plan.
Under the plan individual chap
ters of the institute supply archi-
tectural service to builders of small
homes at a nominal fee, with the
financial institutions that are men,
bers of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System serving as clearing
house. The plan works to the mu-
tual benefit of the home owner, the
architect, the materials manufac-
turer and the lending institution.
Another important development
Of the meetings was Endorsement of
a resolution by the Producers Coun-
l6il which opposed proflteering in
War time. The manufacturers of
4 building materials pledged them
Skelves to conduct their business so
that the prices of the products they
produce and sell are related equi-
table to production costs 1t was
generally believed that there will
be no immediate sharp rise in build
ing costs.
Speakers at sessions of the insti-
tute and Producers Council were op-
timistic as to the general outlook for
the building industry despite de-
flationary war talk. A building
J ''boom" was predicted by several
speakers. The committee on hous-
ing of the institute declared that a
50-year program calling for erec-
tfon of 100000 new homes is
needed to provide decent housing
for all the poor" The committee
report stated that Government f.

Realty Board Planning
For Big Convention
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 30.-The
Norfolk Real Estate Board has COM
pleted plans for what it expects to be
the largest attended convention in
the history of the Virginia Real
Estate Association.
Advance registration indicates we
will have upwards of $50 Virginia
realtors with us next Thursday, FRI
day and Saturday." George Hope
Taylor, chairman of the General
Convention Committee, said today.
More important legal problems
today confront realtors than in
many years." Mr. Taylor said. The
stand the association will take as
to whether or not the ruling of the
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission that real estate statesmen
are subject to the tax should be con-
tested, is important to many firms.

selves to one more outdoor fight in
1941 for Mike Jacobs. I do not wish
to introduce coarse note to this

has a family familiar sound. It's
like the guy who is out late with
some drunk and says, "All right,
just one more" to humor the lush
in the hope of finally getting him
home to bed.
The drunk in this case is the
fight business. Louis can get along
without the fight business, but can
the fight business, as it stands to-
day, get along without Louis? And
will Joe have the strength of mind
to leave it anyway, committed as he
feels himself to be, to the drunk S

Duke Basketers Lack

lack of height, will open their cam

Tigers of Hampden-Sydney.
The game will begin for the Blue

will be Glenn Price. the flashy Of

The guards probably will be Tom

Greet Common Sense
Shown by Tunney

This is no reflection on the manly
marine. He behaved with great
common sense, and no doubt is a
better and happier citizen for hav-
ing done so. But the point was
making about Louis is that he has
fought them all, beaten them all,
and threatens to retire not orly
with something in the old tobacco
box, but with no more worlds to
conquer.
This is a trick that Tunney failed
TO consummate. It also was beyond
the powers of Napoleon Bonaparte
and James j. Jeffries, both of whom
felt the pinch of the times after
they retired and came back to the
ring once too often.
Remember, Louis hasn't turned
the trick yet. Remember, too, that
it's not going to be as easy as it
looks. There are several reasons
why his grand campaign may be
foiled. One is the possibility of a
lucky punch to Joe's whiskers some
where in the next year and a half.
Tony Galento, not in Joe's league
as fighter, came dangerously close
to tipping the boat clean over.
Another peril is the complicated
nature of the fight business, which
may handcuff Joe for longer than he
likes to think, as it shackled many
q good fighter before him.
