F1nancier Sees End of Real Estate Boom

NEW YORK.-Right In the
middle of price boosts on new

boom is over.

tion is at a lively pace and may
continue for some months.

And he said apartment vacan-
cies are on the increase in Atlanta,

pearing. he reported.
MIR. Warnecke said he expects. a

'"The only thing sustaining the

Mr.. Warnecke warned, if the pub
lie gets the idea it is paying toe
much for housing.
This is already a matter of con-
cern in the building industry
where rising construction costs
have caught many builders in a
squeeze and caused worries over
a possible buyers strike"
But it has had little or no effect
on the building boom.

Mr.. Lausche has become an out

siderable interest that he was
chosen chairman of the Cover

year. before the Governors broke
up their recent meeting at White

The son of immigrant parents
from Slovenia, now part of Yugo-

trial lawyer. He Joined the Dem
ocratic Party and sought election
to the State Legislature. but was
twice beaten.
He entered public Office first in
1882, when he was appointed to
Cleveland's municipal bench and
then elected, holding the Office
until 1887, when he was elected
to the Common Pleas Court. In
the fall Of 1910 Mr.. Lausche, a
judge. took the initiative in clos
ing three large gambling houses
| in Cleveland. He organized a
special police squad which caught
the gamblers red-handed. A year
later he was persuaded to run for
Mayor of Cleveland and he won,
hands down. Pearl Harbor came
a month after he took Office, and
he had the job of organizing
Cleveland to help fight a war. He
did a whale Of a job. He was re-
elected in 1943. His relations
with the Democratic county chair
man were cool. and Mr.. Lausche
organized his own campaign.
Ran Own Campaign
BY this time, Mr.. Lausche had
attracted wide interest, and he
was pitchforked into the race for
Governor in 1914. Again in that
race, he organized and conducted
his own campaign, and he won by
about 10000 votes. Two years
later he failed of reelection by
some 10000 votes-but that was
1916 when the people were fed
up with wartime restrictions and
their inability to buy meat. He
staged his most recent success at
the polls when he was elected
Governor in 1948 by 200. 1000 votes.
Gov. Lausche, Notwithstanding
his dislike for some Of the New
'Deal-Fair Deal proposals and his
willingness to- stand up against
the demands Of labor leaders, has
always been a liberal and pro-
gressive Mayor and Governor. This
the people understand. When he
was Mayor Of Cleveland running
for Governor. Mr. .Lausche returned
to the city treasurer his salary as
Mayor for those days he was out
campaigning for Governor.
He is q vigorous, athletic. lik-
able man. Golf, in place Of base

to overcome my interest In my
country"
After he became a Judge !. of
Court Of Common Pleas In 1887
he accepted labor cases which
other judges apparently were
afraid to handle. In the Crosby
Restaurant case. Mr.. Lausche
handed down decision which
made him enemies in the AFL.
The employees of the restaurant
were not members of the union
but the AFL Hotel and Restau-
rant Alliance wanted to organize
the restaurant and picketed it.
Mr.. Lausche asserted there was no
legitimate trade dispute and that
|picketing by strangers was illegal.
He issued an Injunction against
the union. In June. 1945. when he
was governor, Mr.. Lausche directed
the Ohio Selective Service to in
duct strikers (CIO) in the Good
year plant in Akron into the
armed services. And in 1916 Gov.
Lausche declined to receive "bill
of grievance" asking for unem-
ployment benefits for strikers.
Won Republican Support
The Lausche statement on Fer
guson and Taft and the Senate
race was made deliberately by the
Ohio governor. It was not an
answer to surprise question. It
is true that Gov. Lausche has said
the election for Senator may be
much closer than has been ex-
.pected by some Of the politicians
and observers. But 1t is equally
true that the situation may
change materially when Senator
Taft gets back into the State-as
he plans on August 14-and starts.
another campaign that will take
fim into every county before
election day: Mr.. Ferguson may
shrink in comparison with his OPP
ponenta and that is probably what
Gov. Lausche expects him to dor
AT present the main issue raised
by Mr.. Ferguson lis that he a
poor man and Mr.. Taft a rich
man, and that he. Ferguson, is
therefore entitled to be Senator.
Gov. Lausche's independence
has won him the regard-and the
votes-of many Republicans in
Ohio. When, at White Sulphur
Springs, the Governor indicated
he might vote for Senator Taft
and said. II admire Bob Taft for
his fearlessness and fortnight
ness as a public official" he did
not lose any of this Republican
support. Indeed. he may have
assured himself reelection. His
