'Ex-FHA Chief Warns
Home Prices Must
Stay Within Limits

The construction industry today
had a warning from Abner H.
Ferguson, former Federal Housing
commissioner. that the fate of the
free enterprise system hinges sin
large measure" on the success of
voluntary efforts by the industry to
hold home prices within reasonable
bounds"
Addressing the United States
Chamber of Commences Construc-
tion Industry Advisory Council last
night, Mr.. Ferguson, now Wash
ington counsel for the United States
Savings and Loan League, declared:
Il am supremely confident that
If your industry, and all other in
dustries, will make up its mind to
conduct its affairs on the basis Of
making a fair profit on labor and
investment, we are destined for a
long period of prosperity. where all
OF us can live in a land of happiness
and contentment.
"It we don't control our own
destinies, we are apt to land again
where so many of us landed in 1881,
1882 and 1888"
Mr.. Ferguson shared the program
with Joseph E. Merrion, president of
the National Association of Home
Builders, at a dinner at the May
flower Hotel which concluded one
day session of the council. The
group was formed yesterday and is
composed of about 80 heads of trade
and professional associations having
an interest in the construction field.
The former FILA chief said he
opposed Government control of
home pricing, as advocated by Price
Administrator Chester Bowles. He
insisted, however, that "infiationary
possibilities" are indeed staggering
to the imagination"
Declaring prices must be kept
within bounds if our economic sys-
tenn is to be saved" Mr.. Ferguson
said the best means-and perhaps
the only means" by which this
can be done Is by "marshaling pub
lie opinion behind your efforts"
At luncheon yesterday, Recon-
version Director John w. Snyder,
speaking on the same program with
Eric Johnston, national chamber
president, said the administration
had no intention of asking Con-
gress for authority to fix ceiling
prices on homes.
MIR. Snyder added, however, that
in case a measure was introduced in
Congress providing simple, work.
able machinery for home price con-
trolls, he would support it.
The six-week struggle overswheth-
er the Government shall control
home prices remained unsettled de-
spite Mr.. Snyder's statement.
Price Administrator Chester
Bowles asked at press conference
late yesterday whether he intended
to continue his fight for ceilings, re-
piled: Il certainly do"

YOUNG ROCKWELL TELLS ABOUT THAT BORROWED S200,000

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 28-Elliott Roosevelt, son of the late President, says that not one cent of the $200,000 he borrowed from John Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co.,, was converted to his personal use but put into the Texas State Radio Network which he organized in 1888.
 All the money promoted was put into the corporation, Roose- welt was quoted as declaring in a copyrighted interview in Variety, film trade publication. Whether it came from A&P's Hartford or Texas oilmen, it was all corpora tion money and treated as such"
 Stock of the Texas State Radio Network is conservatively valued at present between $1,5O0000 and $2,000,0O0, Roosevelt said.
 It was on his 55 per cent of this SJOCh, IbOOoCNCib OolQ 1iObNsS Ways and Means Committee, that he borrowed $6O0,00O, including the S2OO,000 from Hartford. The com mittee learned the Hartford loan was settled by Jesse Jones for $4,000.
 Roosevelt said he started putting his affairs in order after he en- tered the Army in 1940. "I asked the creditors of my 55 per cent of the corporations stock what should do in disposing of my in terests," he said. "The creditors took the whole matter as tax loss and returned the stock at two cents on the dollar
 The corporation began to show a profit in 1942, he said, and by the end of last year was $400,000 in the black before taxes. Tn 1914" he said, my stock went to other stock holders, my ex-wife and in trust for my children of that marriage" l"
