This Is not the hour Of final

RICHMOND, Va, July 27.-The
New York Giants today were re-
ported to have taken the first steps
toward settling the question of teen
age baseball players being signed by
major league teams.
The Richmond News Leader said
action was being taken by the Giants
to void the unfulf1lled contract of
Vernon T. Morgan, 16-year-old En-
poria (Va) shortstop, so that the
youth would be eligible to represent
Virginia in the Esquire all-America
game at New York August 20.
Morgan's contract with Spring.
field of the Ohio State League, a
Giant farm, was signed by his fa-
ther in the spring of 1914 when the
boy was Is. No money was paid and
Morgan did not play professionally.
Jack Schwartz of the Giants front
office was quoted by the paper as
saying that the Giants do not wish
to be placed in the position of hold
ing back an ambitious youngster.
Since Morgan has indicated that he
prefers to 60 TO college rather than
play professional ball at this time
we are using our influence to void
his contract that he may regain his
amateur standing"

HERES WHAI WENT WRONG

event of a $1,000 increase in costs
would result in loss of employment
to more than 600, 1000 workers, there
by reducing demand for goods which
they themselves could be counted
upon to purchase.
Now that private industry will
play an important part in the fight
to hold sales prices of finished and
used homes to reasonable levels,
OPA will concentrate on the en-
forcement of dollars and cents cell
ings for materials and services going
into structures. The fiat prices will
cover millwork, lumber, brick and
tile, plywood, screens and windows,
roofing, siding, insulation, heating
equipment, hardware, soil pipe,
plumbing supplies, etc.
In addition, services controlled
will include painting and paper hang
ing, renewing of roofs, plumbing in
stallation and other work adapted to
supervision.
Increased Supply Needed"
In attacking the OPA proposal to
slap controls over the prices of new
structures, the National Association
Of Home Builders, spearheading pri-
vate industry, declared that the
only way to prevent a serious infla-
ton was by increasing the supply to
meet the tremendous demand.
ALTHOUGH swamped with applica-
tons for new houses" Joseph E.
Merriom, president of the asso-

terials and equipment will be aided

0PA Struggles to Hold that Line
As Building Costs Threuten to Zoom

drew the picture of huge backlog
OF construction and a protracted pc
riod of short supplies in the face of
tremendous demand.
In all, the nation has a need for
over eight million new homes, OPA
figures, as a result of the increase
in families since 1910, servicemen
marriages, undoubling in crowded
quarters, the number of housing
units now rated as sub-standard.
Despite the need and the compare
tive prosperity of the people, how
ever, recent survey by the archi-
tectural forum indicated that 81 per
cent of the persons interviewed
would postpone building if prices of
finished homes should soar above
$1,000 over present prices. Another
IL per cent had not decided what
course they would take.
OF the total of ST. per cent that
determined to build regardless of a
$1,000 increase in costs, most re-
vealed that they would raise more
money, but a stable percentage de-
clared their intention to purchase a
cheaper structure. Most sales would
be under $1,000.
In analysing the results of the sur
vey, OPA asserted that the indicated
deferment of building plans in the
