Loan League Sees
Postwar Liquidation
OF Temporary Homes

The United States Savings and
Loan League today predicted that
temporary war housing will be torn
down through necessity as tenants
move to better living quarters.
Standard home types will be reno
waited as soon as materials become
available and, the league reported,
there should be considerable de-
mand for new homes not in the
war" classification.
The survey, based on reports from
savings and loan associa ton and
cooperative bank managers. noted
that prosperous years wait beyond
the war and that there will be
successful weathering of the transi-
ton period"
Chief division Of opinion among
the savings and loan executives was.
on the trend of real estate prices
after victory. All regard the pres
ent level of real estate prices as
high and nearly one-half Of them
think that the present favorable
market cannot be maintained after
the war. Others point to the ex-
pectancy of some "leveling off" in
real estate prices but not to the
point of prewar prices. About 12
per cent of them think that prices
will continue upward after the war
Is over, while 40 per cent think
prices will remain at present levels.
Report Summarized.
"Prefabricated housing is a likely
factor to be reckoned with in the
years following the war, in the opin-
ion of this representative savings
and loan group" summarized Nor
ton Bodfsh. executive vice president
of the league. In spite of the fact,
however, that the prefabricated
house is thought to have an increas-
ing market in the years ahead, and
to offer a good opportunity for saw
ings and loan financing, the general
opinion is that it will occupy only
a small portion of the home building
field, and that in the immediate
future it cannot be regarded as
major factor" he said
General savings and loan opinion
is that local interests will see to it
that war housing constructed on
temporary basis will be removed or
demolished. In some cases. it is
pointed out, the temporary units are
of such materials that they would
rapidly become uninhabitable if they
were not torn down at the close of
the war
Demand for Modernization.
The brisk demand for moderniza-
ton of older houses is anticipated
as soon as they are vacated by war
workers. Owners will then want to
put them into good condition so that
they can be sold or rented in the
postwar period
AS to new home construction. sew
eral savings and loan executives
think the demand will be most pro-
nounced for the better than-average
dwelling. which was first to feel the
effects of wartime restrictions.

Justice Matthew F. Mcclure of
District Court yesterday sentenced
Clifton A. Hall, 43, colored, former
Treasury Department laborer, to
serve from Is months to four years
in prison on charge of embezzling
$4,000 in 81 bills from the Govern
ment.
At the same time. he sentenced
Ernest Talford, jr, II, colored, who
was indicted with Hall, to serve
from one to three years.
On Wednesday when Hall and
Talford pleaded guilty to the en-
hezzlement charge, Justice Mcclure
classed as sheer stupidity" the
failure of the Civil Service Com
mission to have Halls record
checked before the man was given
a Government job. 1t was said that
Hall had long prison record.
Assistant United States Attorney
Bernard Margolius, who presented
the case, told the court that Tai
ford had juvenile record.

An 18-year -old colored youth also

with embezzling was taken from the

Annex where the man and two
youths were working. 1t was to
have been shipped to the Federal
Reserve Bank in Chicago. A greater
part of the money has been re-
covered, it was said.

closing the windows nearest US.
