Detroit Dealer Named

stor s,.H cerresoordsns

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Leonard
La. Thomson, Detroit boat dealer
and Gold Cup Regatta official, will
direct United States speedboat rae
ing for 1947 as a result of his
unanimous election last night as
president of the American Power
Boat Association meeting here.
Thomson, who also has ben active
| In the United States Power Squad
rons, succeeds william Horn Of
Newport News, Va.
The elections came after an all
day meeting of the power group,
which held its sessions in conjunc-
ton with the 37th annual National
Motor Boat Show. The show, now
in its third full day, continues to
draw record-breaking crowds that
have surprised even the most op-
timistic boosters in the boating in
dustry.
Jamaica Bay Gets Classic.
APBA officials formally announced
last night that the 10th running of
the Gold Cup classic will be held
August 10 on Jamaica Bay, Long
Island. Guy Lombardo, defending
champion, says he's hopeful 100000
spectators will view the event this
summer.
Other APBA officers are G.. King
Brugman, Los Angeles, senior vice
president; Douglass G. Fonda, Stam-
ford, Conn, secretary, and. w. Mel
win crook, New York City, treasurer.
The associations Gold Cup Com
mittee voted one major change in
its rules. At the suggestion of Band
leader Lombardo it will now be
necessary for a Gold Cup boat jump
ing the gun at the start to continue
around the course and be clocked as
starting when 1t crosses the line a
second time. This will eliminate
confusion of the big boats trying to
turn around and get back to the
line for another start.
Hall Of Fame Awards.
At a luncheon meeting yesterday
Lombardo and IS other outstanding
drivers during 1946 were awarded
membership scrolls in the Gull
Marine Hall of Fame.

Turnubout in Ecuador

Ecuador is doing it again. This relatively
small country, lying athwart the Equator,
as It's name implies, and wedged mar
rowly between more powerful neighbors
on the west coast of South America, has
habit OF staging revolutions. Presidents
come and 60 in quick succession, some
times at rate of two per year. The one
redeeming feature of this revolutionary
habit Is that it Is a relatively tnnocuous
one. Bloodshed and destruction of prop
erty are usually at minimum, while
prescriptions of the defeated are rare.
This revolutionary moderation is ex-
emplified in the twin upheavals of the
past ten days. The first one occurred
when a certain Colonel Mancheno, Minis
ter of Defense in the cabinet of the then
President Ibarra, staged what looked like
a model performance. He and group of
officers appeared at the presidential palace.
The sentry on duty at the door fired one
shot and then capitulated. Thereafter the
colonel and his followers had seemingly
amicable chat with the President, who
was permitted to leave the country by
plane Colonel Mancheno thereupon de-
clared himself provisional executive"
and that was that. No one had been hurt
or even put in Jail.
Up to that moment, the trouble appeared
to have been chiefly clash of personali
ties. President Ibarra and Colonel Man
cheno had not been getting along well to-
gether, and the colonel had reason to
believe that he was about to lose his job,
which was a good one. Unfortunately for
him, he apparently did not properly
square" the army generals in the prov
inces. The result of that miScalculation
Is that those generals got together and
staged a counterrevolution which ousted
Colonel Mancheno after only nine-day
tenure of office. Again, the fighting seems
to have been negligible. The government
battalions went over to the rebels and
the doughty colonel disappeared in the
shuttle, his exact whereabouts being, at
this writing. unknown. Meanwhile, the
fugitive President Ibarra is preparing to
fly back to his country, thereby repeating
a performance staged some years ago,
when he similarly returned from enforced
absence to reassume his executive duties
following a successful revolution.
The moral Gf there be one) to be drawn
from these events is that Ecuador's politi-
cal life is on an extremely artificial and
limited basis. Most of the inhabitants of
that backward land are primitive Indians,
governed and exploited by small upper
class of whites and near whites of Spanish
descent Ecuador's chief industry" is poll

But When Will 1t Be Licked?

When Will the housing shortage be
licked? Chairman Wolcott of the House
Banking Committee predicted yesterday
that if it were not licked by February %
when present rent controls expire-the
controls probably will be extended, But
who Is the umpire who will say when the
housing shortage is licked?
One housing goal is a million housing
units per year for the next ten years. In
the first seven months of last year, 163, 300
new, permanent housing units were COM
pleted. In the same period this year the
number rose to 428,OO0. A good gain. There
was no comparable gain in new, perma
nent housing units started, however. In
the first seven months of last year 402, ZOO
were started, compared with AL 900 in the
same period this year. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics has not yet changed its
estimate for the year of 725000 new units
started. 1t may be exceeded. But the
price continues to push many of these
units beyond the average reach and there
are no signs yet of any price decline.
In the meantime, some of the effects of
the extension of rent control last spring
are taking statistical form. Landlords, it
will be recalled, were permitted to increase
rent Is per cent by voluntary agreement
with tenants receiving an extension of the
lease. Through the five-week period end
ing August l, $4,000 tenants voluntarily
agreed to the increase. They constituted
3.3 per cent of all registered tenants in
the country. The Office of the Housing Ex-
pediter reports now that the peak of such,
agreements filed there has been reached
and the percentage of voluntary agree
ments is not expected to rise above after
August figures have been tabulated. The
highest percentage of leases with rent
increases was in the Chicago area where
the figure reached 1873 For other sec
tionS, some of the figures follow: New
England, 2.3;. East Central, 2.7; Middle
Atlantic, &19; South Atlantic, IA; South
Central, 16; Rocky Mountain, 43, and the
West Coast, 1.6.
Nearby Virginia shows a higher per-
centage Of leases with the increased
rentaD than any other section of the area,
which includes eight Southeastern States
The percentage there is slightly over 9, of
total OF $4,000 units. Most of these in
creases 1898 out of 1887 units - came
from three developments across the river,
Buckingham Colonial Village and Arling-
ton Village.
It is difficult to tell from such figures
the extent of the authorized Is per cent
rent increases, or the extent of resulting
hardships by tenants. Only some 20 per cent
of all rented property in the country is
rented through lease. But the prediction
of real estate interests, that lifting of
rental controls would stimulate building, is
yet to be fulfilled. There is some increase
in building. But only an optimist would
say that the increase, so far, promises to
click the housing shortage" before next
