Robinson Signs
Year Contract For
Estimated $4,000

Jackie Robinson, the National
League batting champion and its
most valuable player, today sign
ed one-year contract for an esti-
mated $4,000 with the Brooklyn
Dodgers after d brief conference
with President Branch Hickey.
The speedster, who led the
Brooks to the National League
flag, was the first member of his
race ever to be designated for the
player award. He batted .342 in
1856 games and also led the majors
in stolen bases with 81.
In addition he batted in ia runs
and hit is homers.
There had been indicated he
might become a holdout but these
were quickly dissipated today. The
righthanded hitting second base
man, who with Shortstop Peewee
Reese formed one Of the best key
stone combinations in the major
leagues, seemed pleased over the
terms of his new contract.
Throughout the hot pennant
campaign of l949 Robinson was the
clutch man" for the Dodgers,
pulling them to key victories time
after time with his hitting.
Robinson will be the highest
paid Dodger in my Brooklyn ex-
perience," said Hickey. who has
been in charge of 1.-THE clubs oper-
atoms since the start of the l943
season. Jackie is getting q
straight contract with no bonus
clauses involved"
"This is a great thing for me and
I'm certainly mighty happy about
it," Robinson said.
The 3l-year-old player also re-
vealed that he was leaving on
Feb. for Hollywood where he
will play himself in a new movie

Robinson said he hoped the pic
ture could be completed before he

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-The
1850 housing boom nearly became
a runaway before Government
slammed on the brakes.
Regulation TX" which raised
down-payment requirements was
the years turning point in the
industry.
But all previous housing records
were smashed anyway.
An estimated 1,375,000 new
dwelling units were started, top
ping by far the 1.025, 900 of the
preceding year. Total expendi-
lures for residential building were
listed by private sources at a
record $12.3 billion.
Home building forecasts for
1851 are on the bearish side.
Most analysts note that the
Governments credit curbs are in
tended to limit new housing units
to not more than 100000 to $780,
900; then they guess at a total
ranging as low as 100000. Some
say the Federal goal can be
reached, but only if the October
regulation is modified.
There is small doubt that "X''
Signaled the end of the boom.

be saved by the merged assets of
other companies.
One of life inSurance'S most
troublesome issues since the Ko-
rean War has been whether to i'm
pose war clause on new policies.
Such clause exempts a company
from paying benefits in case of
death as result of war action.
Most companies have not yet
attached a war clause to new poll
cies. Instead they are trying to
keep down topheavy war risks by
careful underwriting methods.
Thus, many companies have set
a top limit on the amount of in
Surance man in uniform may ac-
quire. But if he is killed, his sur
vivors will receive the full face
value of the policy.
But, the companies warn that if
the war broadens, the use of war
clauses on all new policies will be-
come general. Premiums-in fact
the whole concept of life insurance
are based on normal conditions.
War quickly overloads it's financial
structure.
Investment Channels Close.
The closing of investment chan
nels fast is becoming a knotty
problem. After World War II, the
life companies put billions of dol
lars into the financing of expan-
sion programs of industry. Most
of the expansion now is completed,
however, and the companies have
turned to real estate mortgages.
This year they put more money
into mortgages than into any
other type of investment. But with
restrictions on building now going
into effect. this outlet for invest
ment funds will be damned up in
1851.
The life companies fondest hope
at present is that the Government
will allow them to participate in
the financing of plant expansion
for defense production.
Life insurance in force at the
end of 1850 was estimated at 1928
billions, up $14 billion or Z per
cent from 1949.
New life insurance written dur
ing the year was S29.5 billion. well
Evening star., 1950-12-31

over the previous peak of $23.2
billion in 1949.
Due largely to welfare agree
ments between labor and man
agement reached this year, new
group life insurance written was
81 per cent more than the year
before. Ordinary and industrial
life insurance exceeded produc-
ton in the best previous year by
Is and 10 per cent, respectively.
The grand total of $64 billion in
assets was big jump from the
$50 billion a year ago. The larg-
est slice of this was $23, 100000
600 in corporate bonds, compared
with $21 billion at the 1949 year
end.
The life companies now hold
$13 $50, 100000 of United States
Treasury bonds. against $15,175,-
100000 a year ago. Investments
in mortgages currently are listed
at $16,050, 100000, substantial
increase over $12,875, 100000 a
year earlier.

Big Housing Boom Slowed Down
By Curbs; Outlook Is Beurish

Of from 10 per cent on houses
costing under $4,000 to SO per cent
on those priced above $24,250.
Veterans payments are 5 to As per
cent over the same range.
In November, first full month
after this curb was ordered, starts
were made on IS 900 new dwelling
units, a drop of per cent from
the like 1949 month. The years
peak was 144.400 starts in July.
| But even before Regulation Ky
there had been a Federal move to
halt imitation in housing. This
came in July, eliminating a pro-
vision under which some veterans
could purchase homes without any
down payment.
Building costs moved up rather
steadily, some 10 to 13 per cent
during the year, reaching record
high. Lumber prices dropped
swiftly in the fall but their effect
was largely offset by increases in
cement and steel.
These cost rises played their
part in pushing total expenditures
for all types of new construction in
1850 to a record of around $27
billion. according to private esti-
mates.
The outlook for 1851 is one of
continued high overall volume
despite the housing cutbacks.
