Fall Festival Homes
Visited by Thousands

ly interested in getting ideas
they could use to improve
their present domiciles.
However, both prospective
purchasers and sightseerS
were welcomed by the build
ers and their statesmen par
ticipating in The Stars COM
prehensive presentation Of
new homes in the, Metro Area.
Probably one of the busiest
of the builders of the
Yeonas Development Corp,
constructors of Mosby Woods
just opened in Fairfax, Va.
More than 1000 persons
swarmed over their medium
priced project over the week
end.
The same circumstances
were noted at Bel Pre- Woods,
being developed by L. G. Mel
tier and Kemp Mills Village
Square, built by Kay Con-
struction Co., in Montgomery
County, Md.
Price No Object
Activity was not confined
to the medium priced bracket.
More than average interest
was shown in such develop
ments as Villamay. a May
Properties project off Mount
Vernon boulevard below Alex
andria. This development
features a $45,000 home
equipped with an indoor
swimming pool.
Another trade mark is
the shake roof shingles that
cap the roofs of most of the
houses there.
w. C. & A. N. Miller and
Kettler Brothers both re-
ported an unusual turnout
for their prestige develop
ments in both Maryland and
Virginia.
Appealing to the public is
the fact that most of the
models have been completely
furnished by decorators who
have competed to out-do each
other in good taste.
Added to this is the fact
that competition has COM
PEELED builders to give the
purchaser much more for his
money than he did in the i'm
mediate postwar market.
Features Galore
Many builders today as a
matter of course are Offer
ing central air conditioning,
finished recreation rooms
and kitchens that look like a
page out of a home furnish
ingS magazine. Few, If any,
homes have less than one and
a half baths.
Landscaping and preServa-
ton of trees, plus contour
planning also is taken for
granted now. All these extras
were items that came only
with the highest priced homes
a few years ago.
This coupled with the COM
paratively easy money mar
ket, both Government assist
ed and conventional financ-
ing, make buying a house to-
day a good proposition.

Wouldn't you be just a
little bit dubious if I told you
I could sell you grade A,
choice quality sirloin steak
for % cents a pound? You'd
probably wonder, Whats
the catch?" Yet, if I we're
to advertise that I could sell
you a choice, two-acre site
of Enthusiastically. fabulous,
sun-kisSed" land for a dollar
down and $40 a month, I'm
afraid that I would be de-
luged with takers.
Why?
It never ceases to amaze
me when large numbers of
otherwise prudent people
suddenly become land spe-
culatorS. 1t is all the more
puzAing when it develops
that these self-Styled "in-
vestors" are doing business
solely on the strength of
what they read in newspaper
and periodical a dvertise-
mentS or hear on radio and
television. These people are
so smart" that they don't
even have to see what they're
buying or know with whom
they're dealing.
Right Guaranteed
Real estate ownership
whether it be a modest home
or a luxury apartment build
ing-is one of the priced
rights of every citizen of this
nation. The right to private
ownership of real property
is guaranteed in our Con-
Stitution.
Thanks to the interest of
community-minded news
papers like The Evening Star,
the Washington area public'S
desire for and knowledge
about real estate is keen in
deed. Through the papers
publication of a special real
estate section each week
throughout the year, plus the
impressive spring and fall
home promotions. the public
is able to determine what's
available and to comparison
shop for homes that best suit
the buyers needs and poct-
etbooks.
The Washington Real Es-
tate Board, too, is vitality
concerned with broadening
the base of home ownership
and investment in real estate

in general. Owners of real
estate automatically become
more civic minded, because,
for example, their real estate
tax dollars are used to pay
for schools, libraries. recre-
ational facilities and other
public services.
Washington area home
buyers, fortunately, will find
many conscientious home
builders and brokers who are
anxious to make them salts
fled customers and clients.
Purchasers will find a wide
variety of we'll planned sub
divisions in a multitude OF
price ranges. The market for
houses in this area stands on
a solid base and buyers will
find good values available
for their dollars.
Public Obligation
While we in the organized
real estate business have a
direct interest in expanding
the scope of private prop
erty ownership, we also have
an obligation under our code
of ethics to counsel the pub
lie in regards to investing in
our product" We must be
constantly on the alert to
stamp out practices or pro-
motions that could result in
economic harm or just plain
disappointment to the public.
I have been involved in
literally thousands of real
estate transactions. These
range from acting as a brok-
er for a person desiring to
sell a piece of property to
being an investor myself.
Some of these transactions
have been of a relatively
minor nature, while others
have involved millions of
dollars. Nevertheless, I have
never been so gullible as to
undertake a real estate in
vestment without first max
ing an intensive analysis of
the property, and secondly,
securing all pertinent data

systems.
A check of visitors to some
of the developments turned
up the following answers:
Most of these looking
around were in the market for
a house, generally larger
quarters than they now oc-

a grade in price.
Others admitted they were
just looking around to see
how the other half lives.

That they conspired to OBJ

corruptly influenced Mr.. Mack's
vote on the FEC: that Mr..
Mack corruptly influenced the
proper administration of law
by receiving money and other
favors from Mr.. Whiteside.
Whiteside Acquitted
Mr.. Mack and Mr.. White
side, who denied they had done
anything wrong, were tried
here jointly in 1858. The trial
ended in hung jury.
Later Mr.. Whiteside was
tried alone in October, 1860,
and was acquitted. Mr.. Mack
was not tried at that time be-
cause the court was informed
he was under treatment for
alcoholism and various all
ments and was not able to
stand trial.
After Mr.. WhiteSide's ac-
quittal, Government attorneys
indicated they had little strong
ground left for pursuing
charges against Mr.. Mack.

quittal, Mr.. Whiteside was

The vernment today
dropped charges brought
against Richard A. Mack of
Florida, a former Federal Com
municationS commissioner, in
connection with award of tele-
vision Channel 10 in Miami.
A Justice Department at
torney moved in District Court
here for dismissal of the three

Alexander Holtzoff granted the
motion.
The action ended a case
which had it's beginnings in a

Subject of Probe
A House subcommittee went
into reports that Mr.. Mack S
vote in the award of the Miami
TV channel to Public Service,
Inc, a subsidiary of National

money and other gifts from
Thurman A. Whiteside, a Mi

Five witnesses today refused
to give any information to Sem
ate crime investigators and
were threatened with every
thing from loss of mailing
privileges to the ire of their
customers.
The Senate Investigation Sub
committee. continuing its probe
of Midwest race wire services,
drew blank with the entire
witness list at the morning ses-
sion.
When Louis Efkeman, of Lex
ington, KY, refused to identify
a Louisville (Ky) racing sheet
with his name on it as his own,
Chairman Mcclellan, Democrat
of Arkansas. asked for an i'm
mediate check on whether the
publication is sent through the
mail.
IF you're publishing some
thing you can't identify" Sem
ator Mcclellan said, II don't
think you should have mailing
privileges"
Referred to Post Office
At the end Of the session,
after Senator Mcclellan was
informed that the publication
does not have a permit for
second-class mailing, the Sena-
tor announced that Efkeman's
testimony will be referred to
the Postmaster General to de-
termine whether a publisher is
entitled to Second-class mail
ing privileges when he refuses
to admit he is the publisher.
II have serious doubts
whether this privilege should
be granted to people who may
use the privilege to abet a
State or Federal violation,
the chairman said. The COM
mittee was told by staff mem
bers that Efkeman's operation
is owned by the Illinois Sports
News, which, in turn, is owned
by Thomas F. Kelly, sr., his
brother and his son.

He proposed that Cullen draw
a line through the names of
any customers he wanted to
protect.
Offer Declined
The witness declined to avail
himself of the opportunity.
IF there is an error on the
list, if you will indicate the
name of anyone who was not
customer, we will take his
name from the list. I think you
have responsibility to do that, "
Senator Mcclellan said.
When the witness continued
to decline to have anything to
do with the list, the chairman
said he hoped Cullen's custom
arS would know he had an op-
portunity to protect them snC
had refused to do so.
The next two witnesses
Richard Busker of Cincinnati
and Stanley Schomaker, OF
Highland Heights, KY, were
threatened with contempt ot
Congress citations.
Contempt Citation Asked
Both refused to identify Fed.
eral gambling tax forms as theil
own and both refused to give
the committee samples of theil
handwriting.
Senator Mundt said he coulC
not see any possibility of self.
incrimination in admitting sig.
natures on Government docu.

witnesses for contempt.

didn't see why they would not

Their lawyer, Morris Vein

county grand jury in Newport.
He did not identify the offense

Henry F. Crowley, of Pitts

plead the Fifth Amendment.
Mr.. Alderman identified him as
the owner of a race wire
service.
Subcommittee investigators
also sought to solve a plot to
silence two other witnesses.
Death Threat Told
Harry German of Indian
| apollS, VINO described himself
as a retired Indianapolis race
wire operator, swore he had
been threatened with death if
he gave information to the
subcommittee.
The subcommittee also heard
testimony that Frank w. Lyons,
a Chicago race wire employe,
tried to commit suicide Satur-
day because of threats from
associates.
Thus lar the Senators have
drawn a blank in trying to
identify the authors of the
threats. They wouldn't say
whether they were asking the
FBI for help. Because Mr.,
Lyons and Mr.. German were
under subpoena, attempts to
intimidate them could bring
felony punishment tor obstruc-
ton of justice.
