PIustics Trade Cures
Many Furniture Ills

Do you dread the way children
treat your furniture2 The plastics
industry has a possible cure for your
postwar home. Upholstery made
from a new fabric is non-porous,
hence resistant to food stains, dirt,
rain, oils, and even chewing gum.
And the finish on the wood of
your furniture will be safe, too, be-
cause there's a treatment to i'm
pregnate the wood all the way
through with a plastic. If the sur
face Is dented or scratched, you rub
1t down until the marring disap-
pears.
Plastic-treated woods, now used
for war production, won't warp,
shrink, or swell. Once doors and
drawers are fitted, you can throw
your plane away, for there1l be no
need of trimming them down in wet
weather. The woods are also resis-
tant to fire, fungus, insects, and Or
ganisms that cause decay in fence
posts and other woods used under

I'VE had better use some Of our
surplus energy In the war effort by
vigorously supporting those clear

control today is based upon calcula-

preted. He severely criticized certain

termed, are usually described as
crackpots.
"They are anything but crack
pots. They are most dangerous and
clever" he added.
Turning to possible postwar prob
lens which the national association
has under study, Mr.. Mullenix
warned Of the possibility of per-
manent rent control which he said
would lead to complete socializa-
ton Of real estate and wipe out the
private mortgage business entirely"
He said probable development
OF the postwar period may be "a
plan Of private interests for pur-
chasing the existing mortgages Of
such Federal agencies as FILA,
FNMA, RFC, HOLC and others.
This involves balancing the risk of
taking over those portfolios as
against the risk Of losing the mort
gage business entirely as a result Of
continually increasing portfolios Of
government agencies"

| CLEVELAND, Nov. 27.-Declarine
that certain recent decisions Of the
War Production Board relative tc
new building apparently resulted
from pressure of the "bureaucrats
known as public housers," Charle.
A. Mullenix, Cleveland. president
OF the Mortgage Bankers Associa-
ton Of America, recently told men,
bers Of the Cleveland Mortgage
Bankers Association that he hoped
q congressional investigation would
be made Of the rulings and "the
public housers and other bureaucrats
who are just as dangerous.
Private home building was re-
Gently stopped by the War Produc-
ton Board after builders had been
informed that new quotas for such
construction had been set up. Based
upon that information and in good
faith, builders proceeded with the
necessary arrangements including
the accumulation of land and the
purchase of some material and then
out OF the clear sky came the stop
order on private construction. This
created such an uproar in all parts
OF the Nation and. frightened by the
threat OF congressional investiga-
ton. WPB agreed to withdraw the
stop order and again issued priori-
ties, provided these new specifica-
tions were used" Mr.. Mullenix de-
clared.
New Priority Rating.
1T will be recalled that during the
past summer, when the best building
weather prevailed, the private home
builders were kicked around on &C.
count OF certain priority orders with
respect to utilities, with the result
that completion was delayed on a
considerable amount of war housing
The new priority rating for private
nome buildings Is AA-4, presumably
the same as that for public housing
However, understand that priori-
ties ratings as high as AA-3 have
been provided in certain public
housing cases.
The charge has been made that
the real reason for the stop order
on private building was at the in
stance of the public housers, an
upsurging group Of bureaucrats who,
it is alleged, would like to see all
private building discontinued and
who apparently are interested in the
complete socialization OF real estate,
1t is inconceivable that they could
have gained an upper hand In the
WPB and yet the recent facts are
before us. There is the question as
to whether the influence of selfish
interests within the Government
are becoming more and more sue
cessful in their efforts because of
there being too many low-priced
men In high-priced jobs"
MIR. Mullenix warned the mort
gage bankers that because new
building is out and fewer new mort
gage loans are being made, they
should not begin "raiding the mort
gage portfolios Of their competitors,
