Negro Lobbyist
For White Group

OF four Negroes officially regis
tered as lobbyists in Washington,
d. c., out of a total of $50 be-
hind -the-seenes operators in the
nations capital, according to a
July Ebony story, Moss Hendrix is
the only Negro who lobbies for
white organization.
Hendrix, represents the National
Education Association of 825,00O
teachers seeking federal aid to ed
ueation, Ebony says and continues:
Working techniques run the
gamut from the loud clustering Of
bewhi.kered Edgar G.. Brown for
the National Negro Council TO the
baekslapping of effusive Leslie S.
Perry of the NAACP. In contrast
to these two is the quiet, deter
mined, efficaeious Elmer w Hen
derson, who like Hendrix is the
epitome of the acknowledgements
operator"
Total expense allowance of the
four Negro lobbyists is estimated
by Ebony as $4,000.

factor in 1949's lower prices the
willingness of builders to accept
a lower margin of profit.
Myron L. Matthews, vice presi-
dent of the Dow Service, cited as
other factors in the price decline
better management, improved
techniques, end of materials
shortages, improvement in labor
production at the site, substan-
TALLY lower prices on construction
lumber and price adjustments on
building materials and equipment.
Stable Costs Expected.
Building costs in 1850 are gen.
orally expected to remain stable.
The Commerce Department fore
sees "a slight upward tendency"
Mr.. Matthews believes changes
will be in a narrow range from
2 to S per cent. either up or down
from current levels
Here are two general trends an
ticipated for 1850:
/. More housing for medium
income families. Some influential
labor leaders, among others, have
urged that this type of building
be encouraged.
2. Greater dependence of the
housing market on Government
aid. Aside from the huge new
public housing program, much
private activity is based on mort
gage insurance, guarantees and
purchases of mortgages.
The new Federal program is
aimed at producing $4,000 dwell
ing units in six years, to be owned
and operated by municipal hous-
ing authorities and rented to low
income families, with subsidies
paid by the Federal Government.
Some 10000 to 10000 units are
expected to be started in 1850.

More Than Million
New Dwelling Units
Started During '49
BY T. E. AppIeeote
Assoeioted Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Building
prices finally dropped a bit in
1949. and the rush of buyers
smashed industry records.
Work was started on more than
a million dwelling units. This is
an all-time record. topping a
24-year mark-937, 900 in 1925.
Some $1s,250 100000 was spent
for all types of new construction,
exceeding 194S's previous high of
$17.700, 100000.
In their first sustained decline
since the war prices dipped as
much as is per cent by July, then
steadied. After that point, normal
seasonal trends We're upset as &C
tivity scared.
The year ends with the boom
still fourishing and hopes high
for 1850. Uncertainty that dogged
the industry S footsteps a year ago
has largely disappeared.
Busy 1850 Forecast.
While the housing total may
be slightly lower in the new year,
overall construction is expected
to stay about the same both in
physical and dollar volume.
Official 1850 forecasts are:
Around 100000 residential units;
substantial rise in hospital and
institutional building; decline of
about 26 per cent in new indus
trial plants and facilities; nigh
way construction up about Is per
cent.
The United States Commerce
and Labor Departments predict
private expenditures for new con-
struction during the year will
total $13,1OO,O00, 900. a drop of
7 per cent from 1949. Public con-
struction Is expected to top So

Natural Gas Spurs
Spectacular Growth
OF Gas Utilities
By Richard Fiske
Assoeioted Press Stoff Writer


NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Natural
gas became the glamor boy Of the
record-shattering gas utilities in
dustry in 1949. It expects to spark
the greatest advance in the in
dustry's history in 1850.
The rapid spread of natural gas
pipelines from the huge south
western fields to the heavily pop
ulated North and East has been an
outstanding feature of the indus
try's progress.
Industries increased their use of
natural gas instead of coal. House
owners stepped up installations
of gas furnaces.
Figures of the American Gas
Association and of the Gas Appli-
ance Manufacturers Association,
trade organizations of the indus
try, reflect the increase.
They show gas furnace sales
in 1949 were IS per cent above
the previous year; gas conversion
burner sales were 500 per cent
greater; gas heating boiler sales
were up 80 per cent.
Manufacturers reported orders
for gas-f1red central heating equip
ment were continuing to roll in
at high rate at the year-end.
They said backlogs Of orders
were more than double the jan
uary /. 1949 figure. Unified orders
for conversion burners, they added,
were nearly 20 times greater than
a year ago.
A Gas Association survey showed
6,600,000 families using gas for
space heating and house heating.
And the AGA estimated 693, 900
new gas house heating customers
would be added in 1850.
The manufacturers did some
promoting of gas heating equip
ment but they said one of their
best statesmen was an outsider
