One illustration of the new

was its realistic approach to the

because it operates in what they

themselves that it is not an
economic way to attack the

Yet, instead Of failing their

they recognize that both major
political parties are pledged to

Recognizing this, they took the

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-The Ma

week at their national conven-
ton here to get a line on the

found cut a few things that
seem fairly certain:
/. They're going to have to
build more lower-price homes or
lose a big part Of the market.
2. Prospects appear to be good
for a fairly plentiful supply of
mortgage money, with the Gov
ernment pushing so hard for
production of IL million homes
this year that money may even
become cheaper as the year ad-
vances.
3. The bugaboo of community

vide increasing headaches for
builders and cities and towns
all over the country as expansion
increases. Under this heading
came roads. schools, sewers,
streets. hospitals and other ne
cessities that go along with new
neighborhoods.
4. Good architectural design
is becoming more important in
home building operations as
competition becomes keener.
Builders are convinced they'll
have to step up merchandising
programs this year as never be-
fore to obtain their share of
consumer interest in a highly
competitive period.
5. The market appears to Of

.SobeII Appeal Is Denied,

NEW YORK, June 20 P.-
Atom Spy Morton Sobell lost
today another bid to gain his
freedom or a new trial on his
conviction of conspiracy to COM

He now is serving 80 years in

In a 50-page opinion Federal

petitioner (SobelD but rather to

Sobell was convicted in 1851
of conspiring with julius and
Ethel Rosenberg to deliver atom
bomb secrets to Russia. The Ro-
senbergs went to the electric
chair. Sobell got off with a
prison sentence because of the
lesser involvement in the plot.

plans to halve the Sill billion air
increase which the Democrats
succeeded in adding to the PreSi-
dents military budget in an acri-
monious session Monday.
There is a Democratic prece-
dent for impounding funds voted
by Congress in excess of those
requested Ivy the President. In

Truman withheld $726 million

There was much Capitol Hill crit

but Mr.. Truman's action stood.
If the added funds finally are
passed by both houses of Con-
gress this year, the only portion
seemed certain of being freed fol
use by the administration is that
for research and development.
The committee amendment
would allot 500 million more
for this purpose. Witnesses have
testified that additional funds
could be used advantageously ir
this field.

large portions of research anc
