by the Associated Press


The Government counted today
on more conservative" lending
policies of credit institutions to help
halt the boom in farm land prices,
Representatives of insurance COM

Government officials as well, also
urged Government agencies to cau-
ton prospective buyers of high
priced land.

Truman noted that farm prices have
increased 90 per cent since 1899 and
said he feared a farm price collapse
similar to that which followed

Representative Cooley, Democrat
of North Carolina in talk in the
House criticized the conference as
"a deliberate effort to drive down
the value of farm land and to
frighten the public"
Mr.. Cooley contended farm land
prices have not kept pace with
other prices and asked why farm
owners should be singled out "foI

Controls Must Stay
Until Fall, Creedon
Tells D. c. Builders

Remaining Federal controls on
construction cannot safely be re-
moved until fall, Frank r. Creedon,
Federal housing expediter, told
members of the Washington Build
ing Congress yesterday.
His remarks came after release
of a report by the House Appro-
priations Committee recommending
that his office he liquidated at the
end of this month Under this plan
approximately 1900 employees IN
the National Housing Agency here
and the Office of the Housing Ex-
pediter would face; dismissal July l
1.-THE time to end construction
controls is fast approaching" Mr
Creedon told the construction group
"but it is not yet here" He citee
the L-41 wartime order restricting
construction which was removed
after VI Day and then had to be
reimposed.
Mr.. Creedon, introduced by Con-
gress President A. w. Lee, agreed
heartily with seven points OF an
eight-step program for the building
industry as recommended to Presi-
dent Truman by the builders group
But he sharply disagreed with the
eighth, which called for immediate
elimination of Federal controls.
Biggest problem now confronting
the housing industry Is scarcity OF
materials, he said. Ending OF con-
trolls now, he added, would result in
this supply being swallowed up on
the open market by $4,000, ,000, ,00o
pentup demand for less desirable
projects.
Officers for the coming year
elected by the builders included
John G. Scharf, president; Louis
Justement, P. Y. K. Howat and Will

George v. Graham, secretary; w. A
