The evenings plan worked out,
to Terry's delight. She waved Raff,
Jime and the baroness goodby from
the porto cochere and went back
into the great hall. Sandy and
Brooks were closeted in Brooks
study with q report. She would
have hours to herself! She made
sure no one was about, then quick

ran down through the darkness,
finding her way by the pattern Of

What a blessing this room was! She
was sure, with the door and win

outside the observatory. II It was
heard by someone passing, she
could always say she was writing

She pulled her typewriter out Of

Foley Urges
Price Cuts
Asks Plan TO Serve
Middle Market

The nations builders were
urged Saturday 10 broaden
the base of their planning for
postwar residential construc-
tion so that they may pre-
sent a product which not only
the public need, but the
public's purse as well.
Commissioner Raymond M.
Foley of the Federal Housing
Administration characterized
this as the duty of private
industry and its greatest test
to come"
"We have heard much Of
the sO-called middle mar
ket," Foley stated.
'It Is that section Of tho
market In which those OF
small nr moderate income
may buy.
Its size il great-nO one
knows just how great.
'In the past IL has been
served without any real
plan by the industry.
GREATER PROBLEM
"There will have to be a
vast amount of new build
ing for this great section of
our people"
While serving the middle
market has been problem in
the past, il will be an even
greater one in the future with
higher cost of production
Foley warned.
"a quick and easy an
swer is to suggest, as many
do, that the solution lies I'm

Of payment-in larger ratios
OF loan for pure asc
money" Foley continued
"SOme part of the answer
may be there.
"Much of the answer
must come from the devel-
Opment of new techniques

planning Of design, location
and production methods.
CHALLENGE TO ALL
"Much of IL must como
from greater efficiency I'm

Therein lies a challenge
to building labor and man.

Foley expressed belle
that private builders can pro
duce a vast quantity of goot
housing 10 sell at $1,000 ant
less.
81 believe this can be done
and still carry out our OBJ
jective of raising housing
standards i'm this country"
Foley added.
"But We can't do II with
excessive profits. or infla-
tionary tendencies any
where along the line.

fact, building activity will
be shOrt-Iived and the re-
suits small indeed"
