Where Is
Sen. 7 ats
Affidavit?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5
GPA)-Yes, there is such a
thing as an industry associa-
ton to the right of Sen. Taft
and the Republican Party.
The real estate brokers and
the homes builders this week
have planted their "free enter
prise" flag we'll to the right and
far to the rear of the COP presi-
Dental aspirant.
First, the National Home and
Property Owners Foundation,
that's the way they put it in
their literature, warns that cit is
possible that a Home Owners
Party, which by its very name
doesn't have to be explained to
anyone, might grow out of the
rising rebellion of millions of
small home owners who for
years have been kicked around,
neglected, and abused by social
istic bureaucrats and demagogic
politicians.
The Foundation" claims co.
600 members, out of what they
estimate are 21,000,000 home
owners. They are child of the
National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards, and by some strange
coincidence meet this month in
San Francisco, in the same city,
at the same time, as will the
NAREB.
Feudin' and Fightin'
Not to be outdone, the parent
NAREB is still feudin' with Sen
ator Taft. In a backhanded apol-
ogy for calling Taft a follower of
the Communist line, NAREB's
Executive Vice-president Herbert
u. Nelson managed to call the
Taft-Hartley bills author So
cialist.
Nelson "apologized" by say
ing: Right now it seems to be
bad political manners to mention
the word communist or socialist
in connection with any Republi-
can or Democrat. Perhaps it is.
have a written a letter of
apology to Senator Taft, admit
ting it is bad manners. This
doesn't change the fundamental
truth of the fact that if political
leaders run first to the right and
then run to the left, they will
never go forward toward greater
production and better supply of
housing !. I hope that Senator
Taft will consider further the
folly of trying to appease the
left with a public housing pro-
gram while he seeks with the
other foot to move to the right
and be called a conservative"

NEW YORK, July 12.-(P)-
Stocks continued to forge ahead
during the past week, commodities
exhibited strength and rail bonds
did better.
1t was the eighth straight week
of general recover1es for the share
division, with numerous new highs
for the year or longer recorded.
On Tuesday the overall average
registered its ninth successive up
swing. A record since boom-bust
1929. Some who recalled the per-
Torrance of 10 years ago may have
turned a bit skeptical of the recent
wide push. There were intermit-
tent selling periods, but they did
not halt the major trend.
Throughout the week short cover
ing and investment bidding was
based partly on initiation psychology
emanating from the stiff coal wage
boosts which were expected to
bring sharp price increases in
steel and other lines affected by
fuel costs. Demand also was pre-
dicted on lessening Of depression
apprehension and a batch OF pleas
ing earnings and dividends. A GER
tain amount of liquidation was
blamed on the idea that consumer
resistance eventually would hit
some businesses. Foreign affairs
and the expected White House
veto of the new tax relief Dill
were restraints.
The Associated Press 6O-stock
composite enjoyed a net gain OF
IL points at 67.3 on the week, a
high since Feb. "a. From the
years low of last May II, it show
ed a comeback of 8.8 points and
was only II points under the
peak of last February. The In
dustrial average recorded a 1947
top on both Thursday and Friday
