Home Builders Head
Sees Housing Delay in
VA Ruling on Airports

The recent Veterans Admins
tration order affecting the ap-
praisal of CT loans for homes
near airports threatens a large
segment Of the veterans housing
program, the president of the Ma
tional Association Of Home Build
ers said today.
Alan E. Brockbank of Salt Lake
City characterized it as a pro-
cedure previously unnecessary
and inconsistent with the prin-
ciples Of good judgment. It re-
quires that all appraisals on
homes within four miles of an
airport must now be submitted to
VAS central Washington Office
for final approval.
The ruling pertains only to ap-
praisals on homes on which ap-
plications are being made for CT
guaranteed home loans. Federal
Housing Administration officials
also have their eye on the airport
situation, Mr.. Brockbank warned.
Sees Builders Hampered.
Ever increasing Government
red tape cannot do anything but
hamper builders efforts to make
available housing to veterans VINO
need it, Mr.. Brockbank pointed
out.
1T is inconsistent with the
principles of good Judgment for
Washington officials to attempt
to analyZe and determine quali-
fications of housing in every sec
tion of the country. That's why
the VA has field offices.
Such intervention, where the
f1nal decision is made in WASH
tngton and not in the field, pro-
vides still another roadblock to
efficient scheduling and construc-
ton Of housing.
Fears Delays.
"since most metropolitan CEN
ters are within a very short dis
tance Of both civilian and military
arports. enforcement of red tape
will cause great delays in efforts
to house veterans. The most seri-
GUS setback probably will occur
in building programs near mill
tary fields"
The NAHB president urged the
VA to let its field offices all over
the country continue to have con-
troll over local problems and retain
the authority to make on-the-spot
decisions.
Construction speed and effici-
ency will be lost if the red-tape
ruling Is enforced" Mr.. Brock
bank declared.

Plea 10 Lift Rent Curbs
In Arlington Is Denied

An appeal by 10 Arlington hous-
ing operators against re-establish-
ment of rent controls in the county
has been denied by Rent Stabilizer
James M. Henderson.
The appeal to Mr.. Henderson
was another step in the housing
operators battle against controls,
which were re-imposed in Arling-
ton on September4-28 at the re-
quest of the County Board. The
next step is to carry the case to
the Emergency Court of Appeals.
Earlier, the housing operators
had attempted District Court ac-
ton to block establishment of
controls. 1t was held that District
Court had no jurisdiction, how
ever, and the housing operators
were told to follow the procedure
specified by law: appeal to the
rent stabilizer; then appeal to the
Emergency Court of Appeals.
The Office of Rent Sterilization
announced that Mr.. Henderson
turned down the appeal. Mr..
Henderson said the action of the
Arlington County Board requesting
controls met every requirement
under the Federal rent law, and
re-establishment of rent stabiliza-
tion under the circumstances was
mandatory.

Byrd 10 Break
Election Silence
IN FRIDAY
He'll Discuss Issues,
But Nay Not Reveal
Support. Aides Soy
By John v. Homer

Senator Byrd will emerge from
political seclusion this week to de-
liver speech that could tip the
scales in Virginia between Gov.
Stevenson and Gen. Eisenhower.
The boss of Virginia's conserva-
tive Democratic organization has
scheduled an address on 1.-THE Is
sues of the Campaign" that will
be broadcast over a Statewide
radio hook-up at $3.50 pm. Friday.
Senator Byrd gave no advance
indication how the two presi-
dental candidates are shaping up
In his estimation and many Vir-
Iginians hope he will say whom he
will support November 4. But some
highly placed politicians thought
he might leave that question un-
answered.
Silent Since Convention.
The Senator, a frank critic of
the Roosevelt and Truman admin
jistrations. has been silent on the
Democratic ticket headed by Gov.
stevenson ever since the party
convention in Chicago. His close
political associate, former Gov.
William M. Tuck, not only has
kept quiet about the party slate
but quit as Democratic State
chairman because he was unwill-
ing to campaign for it.
Immediately after Senator Byrd
announced he would make the
Friday address. Mr.. Tuck disclosed
that he probably would have an
announcement on the presidential
race the latter part of this week
or the first part of next.
Gov. Battle, who succeeded Mr..
Tuck at Richmond with the back
ing OF Senator Byrd's organiza-
tion. has taken the lead in Vir-
ginia for the election of Gov.
Stevenson. But another close
friend Of Senator Byrd-Gov.
Byrnes of South Carolina-recent-
ly broke from the party ticket and
is campaigning for Gen. Eisen-
hover.
No matter what Senator Byrd
says in his radio speech, his views
are bound to have impact outside
the State.
If he should f1atly indorse the
national Democratic ticket, he
would surprise most every one and
his statement would virtually as
sure Gov. Stevenson of the IL elec-
+toral votes in Virginia. Such an
Endorsement would be the signal
for the Byrd supporters through
out the State to work seriously for
the party nominees.
May Discuss Issues Only.
If Senator Byrd should indorse
Gen. Eisenhower. the outcry from
regular" Democrats would be
loud, both inside and outside the
State. This course probably would
be the clincher for Gen. Eisen-
hover in Virginia.
The announced subject of his
address indicates he will discuss
campaign issues, only. If he does
this. he could indorse or reject
portions of the party platforms, or
statements Of the presidential can
