Home Owners Head
Asks Rent Control End
To Spur Construction
Ry the Associated Press

An end to rent controls was urged
today by Arthur w. Binns, president
of the National Home and Property
Owners Foundation.
Claiming to represent a Nation
wide organization of property own
ers, Mr.. Binns told the House Bank
ing Committee that continuation of
rent ceilings for another year, as
proposed in pending legislation
would strangle the rental housing
industry and aggravate the shortage
of homes.
The legislation, he said, proposes
to give freedom to the home con-
struction and rental industry while
at the same time it would extend
the stranglehold of rent control"
To Back Is Pct. Increase.
Mr.. Binns said his organization
would support legislation allowing
owners of rented property an in
crease of not less than Is per cent
to compensate for "the tremendous
increase in costs they have suffered
since the rent freeze went into ef-
feet"
Since January, 1941, the average
living costs of property owners have
increased Ga per cent. he claimed,
while residential rents have risen
less than per cent.
Herbert U. Nelson, executive vice
president Of the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards, told the
committee that risk capital "just
cannot be expected to invest in
rental construction with the threat
of continued controls and continued
economic discrimination which will
prohibit a reasonable return on the
investment"
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards, Mr.. Nelson said,
does not advocate complete decon-
