Throughout the land.
And once a strong downward
trend sets in-such as home

only vigorous measures can halt
the skid and restore equilibrium.
Perhaps even more important
is the loss of thousands of good
homes in the lower and medium
price brackets, with millions of
American families still living in
substandard housing and slum
neighborhoods.
This loss is a critical one. The
vigorous urban renewal efforts
being undertaken in hundreds of
communities throughout the
country are being seriously
hampered by the lack of avail
able decent homes to rehouse the
families from slum areas.
Thus far, the administration
has shown no signs of taking the
drastic action required. And it
should be remembered that Gov
eminent has, because Of its
various legislative programs,
major stake-and voice-in
Americas housing. If it is justi-
fable for Government to place
restrictions on housing credit in

expect that Government should
also be prepared to take meas

In Critical Phase
AS matters stand now. and as
I have just advised the $4,000
members of NAHB. our industry
is being priced out of the mass
housing market. 1t is facing a.
most critical phase of its history.
The home seeker is faced with
the prospect of having to pay
for a house-the result of pro-
gressively higher land, labor and
material costs; and the increas-
ingly higher requirements of
FILA and VA, of private lenders
and local building codes and
coming regulations.
