Lobby Probers Hear
OF Contacts Linked
To Realty Legislation
By the Assoeio.ed Press

House lobby investigators heard
yesterday how the real estate in
dustry maintains contacts" with
members of Congress in an effort
to influence legislation.
Calvin K. Snyder. speaking for
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, said most of the
contracting is done through local
boards.
He said 600 to 700 realtors have
been designated to keep in touch
with lawmakers on legislation af-
fecting the industry.
Mr.. Snyder is secretary of the
association legislative wing. the
realtors Washington committee
That group. he said. asks local
real estate boards to suggest some
one in their board who is familiar
with members of Congress within
their jurisdiction"
1T was suggested that this some
one should know his Representa-
tive or Senator well enough to
offer the industry's side of the
story to that member of Congress, p"
Mr.. Snyder testified.
Representative Albert. Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma asked whether
these contacts" were picked on
the basis of their qualifications on
legislation or because of their
political considerations. Mr.
Snyder said "it works both ways -
Mr.. Snyder repeatedly insisted
there is no "super-real estate
lobby"
This came up when Chairman
Buchanan read from a letter
written by Herbert U. Nelson,
executive vice president of the
association. Mr.. Nelson said 18
organizations, including the United
States Chamber of Commerce,
usually are referred to as the
real estate lobby"
Mr.. Snyder replied that there
is National Homes Foundation,
which he described as a luncheon
club. He insisted this organization
"is not a real estate lobby"

Chang Weighs Plan
To Send Korea Aid
In Men and Planes
BY the Assoeioted Press

TAIPEI. Formosa. June 90
Nationalist China, driven to this
island fortress by Chinese Reds,
today considered Offering the re-
public of Korea active aid in its
fight against the Korean Commu-
niStS.
One of Chang Kai-shek's ad-
visers suggested to him last night
that he make the offer. Chang
has not acted.
One source said the adviser rec
commended that Chang offer two
fully-equipped divisions, Is to 20
planes and whatever ships could
be spared from Formosa's meager
feet.
Sources in close touch with
Chang said he favors aid to
Korea but it is not clear whether
he has individual aid in mind or
simply taking part in any joint
international move in support of
the invaded country.
Political quarters doubt he will
make a solo move without first
considering the chance of pro-
voking Soviet Russia into some
retaliatory action.
Meanwhile, all Nationalist mill
tary forces were on an around
the-clock alert against a possible
Chinese Red invasion of Formosa.
There still are no signs that
the Reds are ready to make the
attempt. but they might attempt
harasSing air raids.
There was a growing conviction
that the Red invasion of Korea
will result in a change in the
American policy of hands off
Formosa.
The official Central Daily News,
mouthpiece of the Kuomintang,
Chiang'S Nationalist party, said:
THE time has come for democ-
racies to choose whether to with
draw from Asia entirely or take
measures to help the oppressed in
their fight against the aggressor."
The newspaper blamed the
"nonchalant attitude of democ-
racies, especially the United
States" for the invasion Of Korea,
saying Soviet Russia, knowing
she had nothing to be afraid Of,
ordered North Korea to attack" I"
