Builder Sees Industry
Facing Stable Future

day it is different. The going is
too rough for the opportunist
and most Of them have folded
their construction tents. like the
Arab, and quietly, stolen away,
back to their original Occupation.
They have left behind them
those of experience who have
always produced homes of real
value, the professional builders.
Third building materials are
basic supplies and are not perish
able. Sources have slowed down
production, and local dealers
have reduced inventories to meet
the present demand.
These are the principal reasons
why the Metropolitan Area build
ing industry has been able to
meet a major deacceleration in
business with f1nesse-a fine
demonstration of private enter
lprise's flexibility.
AS to the future, prices no
doubt will continue to rise, but
dollar values will improve. There
are two principal reasons. One
is the scarcity of good land.

Past President, Home Builders Association
Of Metropolitan WASHINGTON
Much attention recently has
been called to the showdown in
housing started in the last few
months. This has been brought
about principally by the stop
imitation policy of the admin
istration and the Federal Reserve
Board.
But little has been said about
how the local home building in
dustry has made its amazing
adjustment to this artificial de-
crease Of over one-third in the
number of homes started here.
There has been no unemploy-
ment to speak of, no surplus in
supplies. few if any business
failures, or other signs of dis
tress. On the contrary, stability
is evident, and builders costs are
continuing to rise slowly.
What are the reasons for this
remarkable stable state of af-
fairs?
First we can take the labor
supply. A good deal of this is
local, but a substantial amount
lof labor, particularly in boom
days, comes from out of town,
This latter group today has re-
turned home.
Second. the builders and sub
contractors-what has happened
to them? Well, it can be ex-
lplained by an old phrase: ANY
body can get into the building
business" In boom times this
certainly has been true, but to-

ments. makes land a big item in
the cost of the home.
Secondly. home purchasers are
expecting more and more items
to be included in the price of the
home. Not only is this true of
the inside of the house. but the
outside is getting more and more
important.

Most Of the land with utilities
in has been developed. That
which remains brings a high
price. Although new areas are
on the way, the present situation
is definitely tight.
This, coupled with increased
demands by localities for higher
and higher subdivision require

Her career started when she
was a volunteer worker for the
Playground Department. There
she instructed children not
only in art-crafts and physical
activities, but also in social
graceS.
She still hears from some Of
them. She told of one little
"Hellion" at the Twin Oaks
playground who became a tail
bombadeer flying from Italy
to Africa during the war. After
he came back. he sought her
out at the Palisades play
ground and said, Sitting in
that plane l thought of you
and have come to tell you
how sorry I am that I used to
cause you so much trouble"
He is now married and has two

Civil Defense Chief
Draws Sharp Retort
Prince Georges
Leader Replies to
Val Peterson

Prince Georges County's civil
defense co-ordinator dashed back
today at Civil Defense Admins
traitor Val Peterson for remarks
that area CD officials are "try-
ing to get headlines" instead of
trying to correct weaknesses in
evacuation plans.
Hes talking out of both sides
of his mouth" Robert H. Silvers
said of Mr.. Peterson. II chal-
lenge him to meet me in a &C.
bate on the subject. Any assault
he makes on Mr.. SilverS better
be made in person"
Mr.. Peterson's remarks came
Thursday night after Mr.. Silvers
had told a House Military oper-
atoms subcommittee hearing last
week that the Interim Voluntary
Evacuation Plan here is unreal
istic, ridiculous and suicidal be-
cause of limited facilities outside
the District.
BOttleneckS Cited
Mr.. Silvers told the subcom-
mittee the Prince Georges County
Evacuation ommittee was
unanimous in its feeling that
I'VE would rather be vaporized
in the comfort of our own homes
than stuck out on a highway
subject to radiation, blasts and
heat"
He said that bottlenecks at
Sheriff road and George Palmer
Highway and on Suitland Park
way and Marlboro road would
strange evacuation plans. He
called for a master plan and
Federal aid to eliminate the
trouble spots.
Mr.. Peterson told a meeting Of
area civil defense officials in
Alexandria on Thurs night:
stop trying to get the head
lines by telling us what's wrong
with civil defense, but offer con-
structive criticism and your full
cooperation to correct what is
wrong"
Points to Report
Mr.. Silvers said he has sent
Mr.. Peterson a report on the
subject. "if he'd only bother to
read it."
I'm not seeking headlines"
he said. I'm seeking a good
civil defense. Apparently I wasn't
invited to that meeting Gin
Alexandria,.
Maybe they should give me a
fraction of the salary he (Peter-
SOM gets and Ill show you what
civil defense is. I don't get paid
and I work almost full time"
Col. John E. Fondahl, the Dis
trict's director of civil defense,
has defended the plan as the
best under the circumstances"
