ship between government and In
dustry to the end that al Americans
may Be properly hodsed." he said.
Mr.. Cortright listed points on
which the MIA administrator and
the home builders are In agreement,
including the following:
!. Government must develop and
declare . arm and stable postwar
housing policy. Businessmen should
know what the Governments is going
to do In order that they can plan
and act in certainty. Housing will
not be projected as part Of Z vast
public works program.
2. Government should help to
stimulate private investment In
housing by doing the type Of re-
search that others cannot do alone.
1t should accumulate and make
available information on demobili-
zation, population trends and hous-
ing methods 80 that every branch Of
the housing industry may have max.
imum knowledge about housing
techniques and housing needs.
3. Government should unwind war
regulations and controls relating to
housing as rapidly as the war situ-
alton permits. This should be ac-
cosnpanied by an increasing volume
Of new housing for civilian use, 80
that the housing industry may be
kept strong and active throughout
the war period and ready for quick
expansion after the war.
4. When the war situation permits,
the programmi1g Of housing COM
munity by community by the Gov
ernment should cease. The Govern
ment should use facts and other
stimuli to assist private enterprise
to reach for . housing goal Of per-
haps 500 900 units = year. But the
Government should not regiment or
restrict housing 80 As to keep It
within defined limits, either on
Nationwide basis or on 4 locality
basis. In short, housing after the
war should operate in 4 reasonably
free market, with the hope, of
course, that communities will real
istically face their responsibility
for sound community development.

Private Builders See
Trend Against Public
Housing After War

Private home builders "are justi-
ned" In expecting there will be no
competition by public housers when
civilian housing Is resumed after the
war, Frank w. Cortrisht, executive
vice president Of the National As
sociation Of Home Builders. asserted
today in commenting on testimony
before the Lanham committee Of
the House Of Representatives by
John B. Blandford, jr., national
housing administrator.
THE Blandford statement Is Of
the utmost significances." Mr.. Cort-
right stated, "as 1t Is clearly an in
itial bid for the continuance Of the
National Housing Agency, probably
as permanent department of hous-
ing with cabinet representation. It
is also q powerful argument for pri-
vate enterprise in the home build

self largely to assisting home build
ers In taking up their full postwar
responsibilities.
Heme Builders Study Problems.
1T Is particularly significant that
Mr.. Blandford told the Lanham
committee that the Government
will not continue to construct large
quantities Of public housing as was
done during war years., but that
public construction would be lin
ited to meeting the lowest income
group need. We interpret that as
assurance that If private enterprise
can expand to meet the total hous-
ing needs Of the Nation, as it in
tends to do, there will be no public
construction.
TT is most gratifying" Mr.. Cort-
right stated, ITO find that Mr..
Blandford is cognizant Of the gross
inadequacies Of the early postwar
public housing activities. The home
builders Of this country, now fully
conscious Of their responsibility to
supply decent housing for all Amer
leans, are presently studying the
problems involved In land assembly,
demolition Of slum structures and
financing problems in connection
with constructing large quantities
OF satisfactory shelter for the under
privileged. Mr.. Blandford's assur-
ances that the Federal Government
should not program the postwar
housing, but should largely confine
Itself to research and assistance in

postwar boom in the sport. And
they're preparing for it, too, not
only from the standpoint of sale
Of equipment, tutoring Of new

10 have a national tournament
for boys under 10 years Of age,
Fred Corcoran Of Boston, tOurna-
ment bureau manager Of the P.
G.. A, is responsible for the
plan. But the trouble is that
the P. G.. A. has no jurisdiction;
it's up to the United States Golf
Association.
Practically every state golf
association affiliated with the
u. s. G.. A. sponsors Junior
tournaments within It's province
but there never has been one of
national scope.
Corcoran's proposition is to
found a national championship.
His idea is 10 have the various
u. S. G.. A. branch associations
hold their sectional champion

kid champs to the national event
If the u. S. G.. A. only will eS-
