DownsSees' Al
AS Good Year

An orderly prosperity for real
estate without the EMBELLISHMENTS
Of boom is predicted for the
next y months by James c.
Downs Ir4 c. T. NJ, president Of
Real Estate Research corporation.
Chicago. who addressed the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards at its annual convention
just closed in Philadelphia.
Active employment in private
enterprise is placing thousands of
families back in the normal con-
sumner groups" Downs said. These
families are swelling the number
of housing consumers and are pro-
ducing a sharp rise in the resi-
dental occupancy levels of our
typical cities. Whereas this in
creased demand would ordinarily
be expected to produce substan-
TALLY higher rentals. the avail
ability of construction for time
payment builders under FILA acts
as an automatic escape valve from
any unjustified rent rise.
Building has shown an advance
in the United States after every
new crisis in World War II. Al
though prices have risen some
what. the gross increases in con-
struction have not been sufficient
Il affect materially monthly pay
monts on 20-year FLA loans. II
is improbable that construction
cost increases in the next year
will be sufficient to raise those
monthly payments beyond the
reach of house consumers whose
pay envelopes will be likewise in
creasing during the period"
Rentals will not advance suffi-
GENTLY TO warrant the construc-
ton of multifamily dwellings on
a large scale, Downs predicted.
Decentralization of urban popula-
ton and business as a factor in
the economic trend of real estate
will unquestionably be accelerated
both by the tendency Of national
defense industry TO locate in small
communities and by the increase
in construction Of industrial ac-
tivities which viii add to the pc
ripheral movement within cities.

Boyd, Redskin Choice,
Due 10 Play Tackle
In kN-Sta, Game
Texas A. & NJ. Star
Undecided on Signing;
Packer Trio Picked
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

For the first time since Sammy
Baugh passed the All-Stars to a
SO victory over the Green Bay
Packers in 1887, the Redskins will
have one of their draftees in the
starting lineup of the collegians
when the annual classic is played
at Chicagos Soldier Field the night
of August %.
Joe Boyd, a 220-pound, 6-foot-2
tackle from Texas A. & M today
was revealed as one of the two
startling tackles as announcement
of the team which will take the
field against the champion Packers
was made after Nationwide vote
of more than six and half million
fans.
However, Boyd-who was their
third choice in the seleCtive draft
last December-has not yet signed
contract to play with the Redskins
this year and his plans for the fu-
ture are unknown The big Texan
polled a vote of 773.256 from fans
all over the country to beat out
Notre Danes Tad Harvey for a
starting assignment.
Packers Get Three.
Bob Hoffman, a back from South
ern California, who already has
signed a Redskin contract, and
Steve Sitko, a quarterback from
Notre Dame who hasn't, were the
only other draftees of the locals
named to the All-Star squad.
Exactly half of the National Foot
ball Leagues 10 teams will be rep
resented in the starting lineup Of
the Stars, with the Packers slated
to get three of them, provided they
accept pro contracts. Should Iowa 5
great Nile Kinnick reconsider his
decision not to play pro ball the
Brooklyn Dodgers would have two
of the starting eleven as would
Bears have the other.
Two of those chosen-Logan, a
guard from Indiana, and joe
Thesing, Notre Dame fullback-
were not drafted and. of course,
are free to sign with any pro team
Offering them a job.
Pick Turner Over kavanaugh.
The Packers are due to get Esco
Sarkkinen, Ohio States all-Ameri-
can end; Ambrose SCHNEIDER, quar-
terback of Southern California S
Rose Bowl champions, and Lou
Brock, Purdue halfback. In addi-
ton to Kinnick the Dodgers will
be interested in the tackle play of
Nick Cutlich, while the Lions will
have eyes on two of their Southern
California draftees. Guard Harry
Smith and End Bill Fisk.
The Bears are to be represented
by Clyde Turner, their new center
from little Hardin-S Simmons of
whom much is expected. Indicative
of their regard for Turner, the
Bears chose him first in the draft
over Ken Kavanaugh, L. S. US
