plan to hold more than one
conference. if necessary, during
the next five days to study a de-
cision on the ordinance that may
be reached at Tuesdays regular
council meeting.

called it a reasonable. fair and
normal ordinance" as did E.
Brooke Lee, a county Democratic
leader and president Of the Up

Mr.. Lee and the landowners,
and spokesman for the County
Farm Bureau, the Suburban

coming codes, which featured five
or two acre minimum lot sizes,
would "freeze the development
of the upper county.

Commercial
TeIevision

Commercial television has been
recommended by a committee of
experts in a report to the Min
lister of Communications Sweden,
they maintain, cannot afford to
do without advertising on TV. The
Swedish Broadcasting Company,
which is in charge of the TV SER
vice. should also handle the COM
mercial end, thereby contributing
to the financing of television. Last
spring, however, the Riksdag pre-
liminarily decided that Swedish
TV activities should be financed
with license fees, which was re-
garded as the best way of achiev-
ing a free and Independent SER
vice, and although the door was
left open to changes, there is
reason to believe that this course
will be followed Scandinavian CO.
operation in the TV field will be
carried out under the joint label
of "Nordvision." A permanent
agency will probably be estab-
lished for the exchange of pro-
grams, ideas and suggestions.

A Push for HOUSING
CONSIDERABLE difference

Considerable difference of opinion
within the housing and home mortgage
fields has greeted the Governments latest
steps to stimulate low-price home build
ing. Some authorities feel that the moves
to make mortgage money more easily
available and to reduce down payment
requirements on homes priced at $4,000
or less will have the desired effect of
stepping up new construction. Others
feel that the Government has not gone
far enough, even if moving in the right
direction. And still others feel that max
ing money easier in this sector simply will
make it more scarce for private mortgage
lenders, and that one net effect will be
a further contribution to inflationary
preSsureS. 1t probably will be several
months before an accurate measurement
of the impact can be made.
The core Of the problem is found
in the overall credit situation. Com
petition for money has been intense in
recent months and the law of supply and
demand has been at work. Business and
industry have been borrowing heavily, and
paying higher prices for their money, in
order to expand plants and modernize
equipment At the same time, the supply
of funds available to banks, life insurance
companies and other savings institutions
has not been increasing at the same pace
as year earlier. The Federal Reserve
System, concerned about imitation, has
boosted interest rates and kept an in
creaSingly tight rein on the supply Of
funds available for lending by commercial
banks. The fact that interest rates on
Government-backed mortgages, the kind
that figure SO widely in the low-price
housing field, have been pegged at fixed
levels has tended to make lenders look
elsewhere for greater returns.
There is merit, however, and more
than political merit, in taking any rea-
sonable steps to keep home building
particularly in the low-price field-at a
healthy pace. Our expanding population
and its shifting concentration have Gre
ated constant demand for housing. The
home-building industry itself is one Of
the biggest in the Nation, particularly
when all related supply activities are con-
Sidered. Production in 1855 totalled about
1.3 million units but has dropped of re-
Gently to a rate of about IL million. II
these latest moves push the rate up to the
hoped-for level of IL million units, they
should give considerable boost to the
overall economy.

Cost of Football

The Consumer Index, cost OF living
measurement that is being kicked around
politically in this season Of football and
campaigns, dipped by 2 per cent between
mid-July and mid-August. This should,
perhaps, take little pressure of the
Republican defensive team after six con-
secutive months in which the upward
movement of the Labor Department
statistic had become increasingly fasci-
mating to Democratic critics of the admin
istration. There was, of course, no reason
for complacency about the rise to new
record high of lit in July, or about the
small drop during the next four weeks.
Furthermore, there is ofi1cial warning
already that price pressures in certain
components Of the cost of living formula
may bring the September index back to
the lit level. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that seasonal factors played large
part in the summertime gains and that
even the Suez Canal crisis-hardly a
partisan political responsibility-may
tend to force the fuel price element higher
in the near future. It is worth noting,
too, that while costs of living were going
up there was some balancing in the fact
that spendable net income for factory
workers, for example, was reaching a new
peak-about per cent above the COM
parable level for 1855.
In any case, whatever the movement
during the next two months and for
whatever reasons, 1t is quite certain the
index win remain on the field of political
play
