By JAMES INGLIS
Hines Stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. l0-tt WAS
cid home week here for Mayor
and Mrs. Jeffries as the annual
Of the l.. S Conference
OF Mayors got under way.

Hotel. "A old friends from all
parts of The country dropped IN.
they were kept busy shaking
hands and renewing old friend
ships
The retiring president OF the
conference is Mayor Laguardla,
who has served since 1888.
KELLY HAS EDGE
There was some talk that
Mayor JefrieS might succeed 70
the Job. However, the odds ap-
peared rather hopeless, since
Mayor Kelly of Chicago has been
a member since 1882, is the vice
president now and should succeed
10 the presidency unless there Is
some unexpected upset.
Furthermore, Detroit furnished
the organization its first president
in Supreme Court Justice Frank
Murphy.
WILSON'S GO ALONG
The mortality rate on mayors
is pretty high and Jeffries' six
years Of service in the organiza-
ton is considered excellent.
The A. F.. Wilson's came along
for the festivities and Charles F.
Edgccomb, director Of the hous'
ing commission, was expected mo-
mentarily from Washington.
Among matters 10 be discussed
1T the three-day conference are
employment, federal aid and re-
conversion problems.

Is 1t better to own your own home

The National Committee on Hous-

answer. The committee is headed
by Mrs. Samuel I. Rosenman, wife
OF the New York jurist who served
as adviser to President Truman and
the late President Roosevelt.
In an announcement today, the
committee explained that Charles
M. Young, Pittsburgh, manager of
the Statistical Research Department
Of the Westinghouse Electric Co.,
had delved into comparative costs
OF owning and renting and that
you should try to own a home if:
/. You can reasonably expect to
live in IT for five years or more.
2. You can reasonably expect an

there is no further need for enact

Details on Priorities
Due 10 Be Announced
As Christmas Gift
BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

ing events in the field of housine

duction Administration was hopin,
to have details of a new priority.

ment as a Christmas gift to the
home-building industry.
OptimistS within the agency ex.
pected all the problems arising ir
current discussions could be smooth.
ed over to permit issuance Of the
regulation by the middle of next
week.
President Truman indicated We'd
nesday the regulation would set UP
materials priorities for housing
units costing $4,000 or less, and
that it would mean about so per
cent OF all construction materials
would be channeled into this type
OF building. The balance would
be available for industrial and
commercial construction and for
dwellings costing more than $4,000.
Reaction of Home Builders.
Reaction of local home builders
to prospect of priorities was gen.
orally favorable. though members
OF the industry here at the same
time were represented as still being
convinced that the Nation is better
OF" in peacetine without priority
controls and that. in the long run.
more supplies would become avail
able If there were no controls.
Besides. the industry doesn't want
to be In position of seeking priorities
for materials for its own production
to the disadvantage OF others. it
was explained.
Washington builders recently.
however, have complained vigorous
iy against the amount of building
materials going into Government
construction. They were consider
ably heartened by the Presidents
indication that Army and Navy con-
struction projects might be held up
pending the time when supplies be-
come more plentiful.
Ernest F. Henry, executive direc-
tor OF tne home Builders Association
OF Metropolitan Washington, said
the priority plan, "if fairly carried
out" would channel to the local
building industry about $50 per cent
more materials than it had been re-
ceiving.
1T will mean a great deal and
will be quite in contrast to the yerv
scant supplies We have got in the
past" he said. He estimated that
local home builders had been re-
ceiving only about 20 per cent of all
building supplies used in Washing
ton.
Wyatt Appointment Hailed.
Mr.. Henry also hailed the appoint
ment OF Wilson w. Wyatt, whose
term as Mayor of Louisville, XIV,
ended December / and who was
named by President Truman to |

pedter under the Reconversion Of

the house would cover only the
owners remaining liability.
On this basis, Mr.. Young's sta
tistics indicate the cost of renting
a $4,000 or a $1,000 house would be
less than the cost OF buying it
until the end of the sixth year
from purchase, when the two
amounts would balance, and that
thereafter there would be a saving
in having bought.
He also estimated that on the
$4,000 and $4,000 house the point
OF balance" between the two costs
would not be reached until the end
of the eleventh year from purchase.
