Just to make certain that the
Rheumatic Nine didn't run in any
men under 40 years of age, the
youngsters planned to make each
player flash his draft card.
Tom Finney, the great promoter
of the game, was asking Rev. Hay

Have you chest protectors?" Fin

You don't need a chest protec-

"secondly-we propose to recon-

standards that have proved so sue

OF 10 or 20 per cent-had the full
sanction of Government acceptance
until OPA came along and decided
out OF its new-found wisdom that
one third down payment should be
required. To the fullest extent pos
sible during time of war-home own
ership should continue to be en-
couraged by the Government. It
should not be necessary to restrict
home ownership during war in
which we are fighting for the right
of a man to own his own home.
Artificial restrictions should be
removed and opportunity should be
given for bona fide purchases by
those people who wish to do so. You
know just as well as I do-that
home ownership offers one OF the
finest anti-inflation programs that
it would be possible to invoke. The

before-amount to rationing of the

gram for improvement of the rent
control program"
1T has been just a little more
than a year now since rent control
was imposed. Since that time-the
original 20 defense-rental areas
have been jumped to 355-housing
nearly 100000 people. Hardly any
population center in the Nation has
escaped regulations-and hardly any
realtor has not been affected. A
wholly unnecessary element of dis
cord has been introduced into the
relationship between property own
ers and their tenants.
Ownership Becomes Penalty.
mo one deplores that discord
more than do property ownership
or httle-because We in our pro-
fession know that good relationship
between owners and tenants is
fundamental to the welfare of
property ownership. Be that as it
may-during the year OF rent con-
trol-rents have been held tight and
even forced downward-while all
other controlled prices have gone
through the so-called ceilings. While
living costs operating costs-and
every other cost has risen-the in
come from property operation has
been held back. In effect-the own
ership of property has been turned
from an asset into penalty.
Real estate ownership Is the
foundation of the American way of
life. The national association Is
the only group that is constantly
working for the good of real estate.
We must keep the good of real es-
tate in the forefront-for we know
that the bulwark of democracy has
always been home ownership. But
there Is another great element for
which we must be constantly con-
cerned. That is the freedom OF the
press-for the greatest hope for
preserving democracy lies in free
press" he said.
These things are corrolaries-
they 60 together. So long as we
have free press we will be able
to have free enterprise-opportunity
and initiative will be ours. Should
anything happen to our free press
should the Government, either by
implication or direct action, do any
thing to interfere with freedom of
the press-the America of the last
$50 years will have flown out of
the window. We have only to look
abroad to see what has happened
where the press has been brought
under control.
In the face of the dreadful de-
velopment that followed abridge-
ment of that freedom we must re-
solve that such thing must never
happen here. Next to the winning
OF the war the most important
thing for this and future genera
tions is an absolutely free, un-
brldled. uncontrolled press-for only
that kind of press can protect and

save free enterprise, initiative and
opportunity for all. A free press
means economic freedom. There
can be no freedom without economic
freedom. Realtors must stand ready
to fight for free press and to de-
mand that no interference be at
tempted by threat, insinuation or
intimidation.
Seek to Create Justice.
1--WE know that it is natural and
normal that defects should show
up in any wartime program as dras-
tic as rent control. But it is not
natural-and it is not normal-that
such defects should be ignored or
permitted to continue without effort
for remedy. I propose, therefore, to
have the National Association of
Real Estate Boards-as the spokes-
man for our industry-go to the
OPA with definite program for the
improvement of the rent control sys-
tenn. 1t will recommend to Price
Administrator Prentiss Brown that
action be taken along three simple
lines to remove anomalies in the
administration of the law and create
justice for tenants and owners
alike.
The first of these recommended
tions will be to localize the admin
istration of the law by establishing
local rent committees. These COM
mittees should be vested with ad-
visory and recomendatory powers
and they should be made up of rep
resentative citizens, including ten
ants and property owners alike.
They should be set up to work with
the OPA rent area directors. The
establishment of such committees is
a recognized democratic process evi-
denced by the setting up of local
draft boards, local ration commit
tees-and even labor advisory COM

ton of America, on the second an
niversary of the addition of the
Title vi section to the Nationa
Housing Act, under which war hous-
ing loans are insured, today paid
tribute to the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration for its achievement ir
aiding the war effort through in
surance of war housing loans.
Two years ago the Title vi Sec
ton was added to the National
Housing Act to provide a medium
for financing housing for workers
in war production centers. Since
then well over 100000 dwelling units
in war areas have been placed un-
der construction, financed with FHA
insured loans made by private lend
ers. FILA is now insuring about IS
per cent of all privately financed
construction.
In its eight and one-half years
of operation, FILA has placed more
than $4,717 1854 ,094 of mortgage in
Surance on it's books.
'FHA's contribution to the war
effort, through its Title VI section
has been outstanding and deserves
the thanks of the Nation" said
Charles A. Mullenix, association
president. 1T has been a good ex-
ample of how government and pri-
vate enterprise can work together
for the common good Much of the
credit for this sensible method of
financing war housing through
FHA's Title VI insured loans goes
to Congress for intelligent legisla-
ton and to the able and capable staff
of FILA.
Eight and half years ago, when
FILA was established, some mort

BEN DAVIS DENIES RACIAL
APPEAL WON COUNCIL SEAT

NEW YORK, N. Y.-At a
press conference attended by
reporters from the metropol-
itan press, Benjamin ] Davis,
Jr, Councilman Elect, last week
refuted inSinuations by the
WORLD TELEGRAM and some
other metropolitan papers that
his election was due to appeals
to racialiSm.
My election to the City
Council is the achievement of
all the progressive people Of
New York County of all ma
tional and racial origins, re-
ligiouS and political beliefs who
saw in my candidacy an OPP
portunity to be represented by
a Councilman fully devoted to
the defeat of Hitlerism. abroad
and to the defeat of all fascist
manifestations at home. Jim
Crow, anti-SenitiSm and racial
discrimination of all forms
must be outlawed in our city
as a necessity for victory.
Il was elected by coalition
of our colored and white citi-
zens,-by voters affiliated with
the Communist, Democratic,
Republican and Labor parties
as well as by the independent
voter. This unity of the people
broke through the old estab-
lished Party labels; this unity
measured my candidacy on the
basis of what I stand for; this
unity was not influenced by
party Affiliations nor by racial
or religious differences.
at is crystal clear that it
cannot be said that 1 was
elected by Harlem alone or by
the Communist Party alone.
The vote, taken by election
districts, proves concluSively
that 1 was the choice of the
people, identified with all re-
ligious, racial and national
groups; civic, fraternal and
labor organizations"
Breaking down the vote BY
which he was elected, Davis
pointed out that he received
10000 votes from colored vot-
ers and $4,000 from white vot-
ers. The membership of the
Communist Party in New YORK
County he placed at o'Ooo'
Davis pointed out that ne re-
ceived 5000 second choice
from Eugene Connolly, an
Irishman, and 600 second
choice votes from Meyer Gold
berg. a Jew. Many Of his sec
ond choice votes would inverse
" have gone to Eugene Con-
nelly and to Stanley IsaacS.
On questioning by the re-
porters. Davis criticized the
statements in the World Tele-
gram campaign, which he SAID
"have no other effect than 10
discredit proportional repre-
sentation. Proportional Repre-
sentation is one Of the most
electoral systems we have ever
had"
Davis said that he consid-
cred himself not just the rep
resentative of the Communist
Party. but rather the repre-
sentative Of all the people OF
New York County, and l
pledge to serve their best in
terest in accordance with their
desire and will.
