By JAMES Y. NEWTON,

DETROIT, Nov. 8.-The Home
Builders Institute of America wound
up the business of the National As
sociation of Real Estate Boards con-
vention here today by naming a
committee to set up building ma
terials fact-fnding agency in Wash
ington and to represent interests OF
the home building industry at the
Capital.
The committee is headed by Hugh
Potter, Houston, former president
of the national association. One OF
its members is Waverly Taylor, last
years president of the Washington
Real Estate Board. The other men,
bers are j. C. Nichols, Kansas City,
Mo, well known in the Capital as
q member of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, and
John McC. Mowbray of Baltimore.

be made to the committee.
This committee will give full-time
services to representation of the
building industry at Washington.
The fact-finding agency, funds for
which were made available here by
donation, will make a survey of all
building materials in the country,
and of planned production OF these
materials as we'll as potential pro-
duction of supplies vital to build
ing. Through investigation Of the
agency, home builders hope to show
o. P. M that there are sufficient
materials to keep the building busi-
ness in operation without hamper
ing the national defense program.
Success Is Notable.
The convention ending today is
the most successful the real estate
industry has held since pre-depres-
sion days The attendance was Sec
ond largest in association history.
The Home Builders Institute held
the center of attention because their
problem is the most important fac
ing real estate men today. The
builders are faced with being forced
out OF business by priority regula-
tions which will greatly restrict the
materials available for building
They feel if they can show the o. p
M. that enough materials are being
produced or could be produced to
enable them to continue operation
without hurting defense they will
have saved their means of livelihood
and performed great service to
the country.

the valuation of last months build
