Gated that no matter what legis-

AL Says Roises
Can Be Afforded

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
continuing high level of produc-
ton should make it possible for
employers to raise wages with
out increasing living costs, the
AFL Labor's Monthly Survey
said last week.
Consumer prices in October
were 14.2 per cent above Janu-
ary, while weekly wages had
risen only 1873 per cent in heavy
industries and 9.6 per cent in
consumer industries" said the
AFL publication. Wages in
many industries where workers
are not organized have risen
much less than this and work
ers' living standards have de-
clined."
The high level of production
in the third quarter of 1946, the
AFL note d, lifted industrial
profits to new high figures in
many industries. Figures from
the National City Bank show
that profits of $50 companies
rose IL per cent in the first
three quarters of 1946 compared
to the same months in 1945;
while profits in 371 companies
reported by Standard g. Poor
rose 11.3 per cent in the same
period. Total profits after taxes
in industry reached a new peak
in 1946."

ASHIN GTON, Dec "a
ILPA)-The nation now has q
Non-Veterans Luxury Housing
Program, as a result of Presi-

scrapping the Veterans Emerg-
ency Housing Program, a CIO
spokesman told a Senate COM
mittee last week.
Testifying before the Senate
Small Business Committee, John
Edelman, legislative representa-
tive for the Textile Workers
Union-CIO, asserted that ''The
Administration is bartering away
great opportunity to insure pros
perity for years to come by
Establishing a stable housing in
dustry." Edelman testified for
the CIO Housing Committee.
"In exchange" Edelman went
on, Truman is inviting "a real
estate boom which even now is
showing unmistakable signs of
bust.
"The CIO will intensity its
drive for passage of the Wagner
Ellender-Taft public C housing
bill as the only sound solution
for the utter mess the country
is in regarding shelter for the
great masses of veterans, for
most middle income people and
for millions of low wage persons
living now in slums or SUBJ

Realtors Lobby
Gets On Limb

WASHINGTON LPA) - An
over-enthusiastic research ex-
pert" for the real estate lobby
went too far last week. AS re-
suit, realtors in most cities of the
country are on record as prom
ising plenty of homes for vet
erans within six months to a
year after the end of rent con-
trolls and all other building con-
trolls by the federal government.
Calvin Snyder, speaking for
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards before a hearing
of the Senate Small Business
Committee, disclosed the results
of survey of 157 cities in SO
states on prospects for building
homes.
The 157 real estate boards
were presented, in questio n
form, with the proposal of the
NAREB to kill all rent controls,
ceilings on sales prices, and con-
trolls on material prices. Practi-
cally unanimously they agreed
that decontrols would result in
marked increases in residential
building.
Most of the decontrolS were
announced as executive orders
of President Truman three days
after Snyder testified. The new
Congress is sure to emasculate
rent controls if Truman doesn't
beat them to 1t.
The mistake came when Sny-
der and his economic consul
tant" listed publicly the exact
promises of some of the specific
city real estate boards. Union
lists and veterans groups in the
cities quoted are watching with
interest to see how badly the
real estate men fail. Here are a
few of the extravagant prom
iseS:
Boston: Would be tremen-
dous stimulant and greatly in.
crease volume. Would be felt ir
six to nine months.
/ Cleveland: Should solve the
housing problem. Full effect ir
about two years.
Kansas City, Mo-: Very large
increase in new construction
Available to veterans in six tc
10 months.
Portland, Ore: More homes
for vets would result in six
months.
"San Antonio, Tex: Definite
increase of available renta,
homes Immediately. (This com.
munity now has a landlord:
strike in progress.)
Birmingham, Ala: Man J
units would be built within si1
months.
"St. Paul, Mimi: Would heIT

ately. st. Paul contractors would
build 1000 units per year.

At the same time, UNOP-

Commenting on the policy
declaration, Merrill said, II have
had to change my own mind on
many questions, as all intelli-
gent people do with changing
conditions, and others must be
