A general business boom, espe-
cially in the building industry was
forecast today by Washington real
estate leaders, following the lifting
Iof credit restrictions on new
housing.
The Federal Reserve Board yes
Iterday suspended its Regulation x
which limited credit the buyers of
new housing could obtain. Both
residential and commercial prop
Ierty are affected by the order.
effective today.
Frank j. Luchs, executive vice
president and treasurer Of Shan
non & Luchs Co., realtors. who is
also president Of the District Chap
ter Of the American Institute OF
Real Estate Appraisers. said:
II feel that it is splendid that
we are getting rid Of these onerous
controls and that we will now be
able once again to let the normal
law Of supply and demand operate
This means that the buyer and the
seller can set their own prices in
a free market. It should definitely
speed up the sale of new residen-
tial property.
All Price Ranges.
"This will affect all price
ranges-the $25, 900 home as well
as the $4,000 to $4,000 home
A man buying a home for over
$4,000 has had to pay so pei
cent in cash. The man buying
a $4,000 home has had to pay
over $4,000 cash. And that's
been just as difficult for one as
for the other.
II understand that the min
imum down payment in veterans
cases will be s per cent by law
But I know from actual expert
ence with mortgage bankers and
lenders that q larger down pay
ment will be required in most
cases. It is my opinion that, on
houses in the $12,000-to-$20, 00C
price range for veterans. q down
payment of at least 10 per cent
will be needed.
'"The suspension of Regulation
K on commercial property will
open up considerable construction
Of new commercial projects"
Overdue, Says Carr.
Edward r. Carr, president OF
the Washington Real Estate Board
and former. president of the Ma
tional Association of Home Build
ers. had this to say:
TITS long overdue. and I believe
will help business materially. One
of the main things is people have
been waiting to see what is going
to be done. The mere fact Of q
decision should be a stimulation.
In making its announcement yes
terday afternoon, the Federal Re-
serve Board said; Conventional
mortgage loans are, of course, still
subject to basic State and Federal
statutes governing real estate
loans by financial institutions.
The Labor Department advised
the board that. during June. July

ing units started was below q sea-

Tax Factor Omitted.
President Humans plan, based
on the principle of compulsory in
surance financed by payroll tax,
was attacked in a statement Sun
day by Gen. Eisenhower. He said
that experience has shown that
American medicine outstripped
the world on a voluntary basis, and
on that basis-plus voluntary in
surance plans, together with To-
cally administered INDECENT medi-
cal care programs for those I'M
able to participate-the needs of
Americans will most adequately
be met"
Mr.. Truman did not mention
specifically the compulsory tax
feature, which has stirred the ire
of the American Medical Associa-
ton and other critics in and out
of Congress, but pointed out that
he has invited alternative pro-
posals to his plan from the pull
backs.
The issue recalled that he has
had a special commission studying
the issue for the past year, in an
effort to get additional recon-
mendations.
Cites Advances.
Mr.. Truman discussed. at some
length, the advances made in
medical care, declaring I'VE now
have the highest standard of
health in our history. Life ex-
pectancy has never been so high;
the occurrence of communicable
disease has never been so low"
Citing gains, he said the hos
pitalization program of the Vet
Grams Administration has been
advanced beyond what anybody
thought would be possible"
Despite the "pullbackS," Mr..
Truman said, the Government
has gone ahead. and in the past
year, I'VE were able to meet the
needs of Is million Americans

VINO required hospital care"
A Federal-aid program for
construction of hospitals to be
owned and operated by the people
of local communities, the speaker
continued, went into effect in
1916, and more than 1900 prof.
ects for hospitals. health centers
and other medical facilities have
been approved.
Mr.. Truman also stressed that
progress is being made in the
field of medical research, with
the Federal Government support
ing about quarter Of all that
is done in medical schools.
