Patriotic Conference
Plan Meeting in 1853
Despite Mass WaIkout

Plans were going ahead today
for next years Women's Patriotic
Conference on National Defense,
despite the walkout of several
member organizations at the close
of this years three-day meeting
here yesterday.
Mrs. Marion U. Mansur of NAL
den, Mass, was named chairman
of the conference to be held here
next January.
AS first vice chairman this year.
Mrs. Mansur inherited the chair
for the last few minutes of yes
terday's session when Mrs. E. A.
Campbell. national president of
the American Legion Auxiliary.
called the walkout at the Hotel
Statler.
The departure of Legion Auxili-
ary delegates was followed by
other groups, including the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars Ladies
Auxiliary and the National Ladies
Auxiliary of the Jewish War Vet
erans, until more than half the
huge conference room was emp
tied.
Objected to Practice.
Mrs. Campbell indicated the
walkout was due to objections to
the conference practice of adopt
ing resolutions. She said the move
was made at the direction of DON
aid Wilson, national commander
of the American Legion.
The conference was organized
26 years ago at the call of the
Legion auxiliary, she pointed out,
for the purpose of gathering in
formation on the subject of ma
tional defense"
She referred to serious
difference of opinions" as to the
functions of the conference. The
auxiliary is bound by the man
dates governing the Legion, she
said, and it would be unwise for
the auxiliary to involve itself in
a situation which might reflect
any deviationS from the proce-
'dures by which it is bound.
Resolutions, however. said Mrs.
ManSur following the conference,
"are the voice of the organization.
and it is only by that voice that
we can reach the people of the
country and Congress, and really
express ourselves"
80 Groups Participate.
Approximately 80 societies are
represented in the conference, ac-
Icording to the list for this year,
including an estimated 2 million
women.
The conference adopted ap-
proximately 20 resolutions follow
ing the split yesterday, including
a reaff1rmation of a previous reso-
luton favoring removal OF Secre-
tary of State Acheson.
Others favored outlaWing the

Chief Benefit
Seen as Cut in

By Robert J. Lewis
Reel Estofe Editor of The Stor

Relaxation of Regulation K
housing down payment rules
probably will not serve as
great stimulant to housing pro-
duction this year, but may re-
duce ultimate housing costs.
That is the view held in Gov
eminent housing circles now in
volved with the Federal Reserve
Board in final conversations
over exact provisions the revised
Regulation x will contain.
The Housing and Home FL
nance Agency is confident there
will be a million or more new
homes put under construction
this year. whether or not Regu-
lation K is revised.
Yet If there is revision-and
that eventuality is almost as
certain as that a presidential
election viii be held this year
the easier credit to be made
available is not expected to af-
feet the housing volume SUBJ
stantially.
True, easier credit may boost
this years total number of units
by $4,000 or 100000, in the view
of officials. But the relaxation
contemplated will not be so
drastic as to justify builders to
exaggerate the market.
On the other hand, the new
rules will reduce down pay
ments sufficiently, it is believed,
to start the sales ball rolling
again, cut down on the lag be-
tween. the date of completion
and the date of purchase, and
thus lower the builders increas-
ing overhead.
AS things stand today. many
houses in a number of brackets
have been moving more slowly
than Government housing Off
Gals consider to be economic.
There is no use to have a
credit situation, they hold,
which results in a higher build
er overhead since this, in turn,
often is passed on to the buyer.
Some builders, of course. are
not so optimistic about being
able to pass on increased costs
to the buyers, nor are they so
confident that they would be
able to maintain this years high
pace if the market doesn't i'm
prove.

CaroIinian Beats Par
For Final II Holes:
9Th American 10 Win
BY me As.oeias.d Pres,

PRESTWICK, Scotland, May al
--Harvie Ward, a boyish, easy-
swinging North Carolinian who
was spurned by United States
Walker Cup selectors a year ago,
thwarted Frank Stranahan's bid
for a third British Amateur golf
championship today when he
trounced the Toledo (Ohio) spark
plug. six and five in their all
America final.
The 26-year-old brokerage sales
man from Tarboro, N. c., play
ing his first big international
event, ovefcame an early attack
of putting jitters and finished with
a brilliant 17-hole streak of SUBJ
par golf.
When Stranahan surrendered
on the .31st hole without putting.
young Ward was four under par
from the 14th hole, where he was
tive, down, to the finish.
Pathetic Figure OF Tees.
.Stranahan. winner Of this his
teric event in 1949 and 1850, had
hoped to become the first Ameri-
can to snag the title three times.
He lost the groove with his wood
and was a pathetic figure of the
tees.
He missed % fairways with his
drives. Seven times he hit into
yawning bunkerS, once he caught
a creek and another time a sand
dune. He was trapped repeatedly
of the tee and, on the tenth, his
drive dribbled a mere 80 yards.
But it is doubtful that Strana-
han at his best could have handled
the inspired Southerner today.
Ward becomes the ninth Ameri-
can to take the huge British tro-
ply across the Atlantic since

ened 40 yards for the National
Open and par will be reduced tc

Few people in the country
played a course as tough as the

thousands were expected to post
net scores lower than Hogan's
