B—12 »» - LOWER HOME COST URGED BY BUILDER: Cincinnati Man Tells Realtors of Need at Baltimore Convention. BY DON S. WARREN, Real Estate Editor of The BALTIMORE, Md., May ZB—NQC!'- sity of finding means for building homes at greatly reduced cost to pre- vent the United States from becoming “a nation of renters” was laid before the National Association of Real Estate Boards in the closing day of its an- nual convention. Establishment of cheaper, long-term financing, lower building costs and re- lief from the tax burden now placed on owners was one of the major prob- lems on which the 1,500 delegates were expected to act today prior to ad- Jjournment. in these directions. Several hundred of the realtors are planning post-convention tours to his- toric points and new developments in this section, and a large group is to visit Wash! n early next week. Untold millions are being spent to improve the production and marketing of practically all items of human con- sumption except -th: American home, Gordon C. Beck, a Cincinnati builder, told the home builders and subdividers’ division of the realtor body. Sees Huge Waste. Unless old methods of producing homes are replaced by more cficient and cheaper processes, he declared, America will become a nation of renters. The speaker ‘scored as one of the great wastes in this industry the movement of bulky materials from one part of the country to another, citing & $400,000 freight bill for $800,000 worth of Jumber in 1930. He declared that lumber should be used at its sources for home building, and that Kansas home owners should not pay to have Vermont slate hauled across the country for their roofs, but should use for this purpose some other me- terial that is produced nearby at much less cost. American home lovers can look for- ward to being able to secure in the future houses that can be constructed and furnished in a week, and may cost, with all modern improvements, as low as $4,000, A. Lawrence Kocher, manag- ing editor of Architectural Record, New York City, declared. Mr. Kocher praised community ga- rages, urged adoption of community kitchens, better provisions for recrea- tion in’ residential developments and predicted the coming of new hous-- building materials and the use of cen- tral heating plants for the houses of a community. Says Costs Too High. ‘The advantage of lowering the cost of modern housing also was raised by Arthur O. Holden, prominent New York member of the American Institute of Architects. The great trouble today, he said, is that builders are producing comparatively few homes which the bulk of the population can afford. Lower commodity costs should and must mean lower taxes, Judge Arthur J. Lacy of Detroit, chairman of the rational property owners’ division, told ths convention today. Lewls C. Gray, economist of the land economics division of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Department of Agriculture, told the farm lands section of the realtors’ convention there are Jactors both for and inst the farmer, but that there was at & 50-50 basis for “hopefulness. G. 0. P. STATEMENT UPHOLDS TARIFF Perhaps Too Low in Cases, Is Re- ply to Criticism of Demo- cratic Leaders. By tiee Associated Press. The Republican National Committee today found “ample evidence to show that under present conditions the rates in the Hawley-Smoot tariff are no mcve than adequate, in many instances, and that in some cases perhaps not high enough.” The organization’s statement used as an {llustration of this contention the demand of Representative Connery, Democrat, Massachusetts, that the tariff Commission increase the rates on boots and shoes 50 per cent over the present 20 per cent ad valorem duty. “Democratic leaders,” the statement said, “havs been free in their criticism of what they call the ‘iniquitous’ rat:s in the tariff bill, vet not one of them has ever answered the challenge to name the rates thcy would reduce. “Never,” it continued, “has the ne- cessity of protecting our markets and our workers been so apparent in view of tremendous wage cuts abroad. If our tariff walls are not maintained and the fullest protection accorded agriculture, industry and labor, the American stan- dard of living must fall to European levels. “Blind theorists, foreign interests and Democratic free traders are threatening to destroy our tariff.” SPEED IS SOUGHT ON FALL PETITION Pomerene Waives Right to Reply to Review Plea, Asking Early Decision. Chance for early action by the Su- preme Court on the petition of Albert B. Fall for a review o{ ..s conviction on charges of accepting a $100,000 bribe from Edward L. Doheny increased yes- terday when Atlee Pomerene, special Government counsel, waived his right to reply to the application. Pomerene urged the court to act on the papers as quickly as possible. ‘The court probably will decide Mon- day whether ‘it will grant a review of the issues raised by Fall on their merits, The former Interior Secretary has been sentenced to one year. Frank J. Hogan, counsel for Fall, was under the impression yesterday when he filed the petition, that the court would not be able to act until next October after its Summer recess. He took -the view that the papers could not go to the court until tha peti- tion had b2en formally served on Pom- erene and the latter had been given an_cpportunity to file his views. The waiver filed by Pomerene, how- ever, was interpreted in court circles as putting the court in a position to #nnounce Monday whether it will grant a review, 1 000 SCOUTS COMING More than 1,000 Boy Scouts, selected from all sections of Region III of the Boy Scouts of America, which com- prises Pennsylvania, Maryland, Dela- ware, Virginia and the District of Co- Jumbia, will visit Washington June 19 to 21 to attend the regional jamboree of the crganization.

The Mayflower Hotel Co. yesterday asked the District Court of Appeals for a writ of supersedeas commanding the District Supreme Court, its justices, the five complaining bondholders, Thomas P. Littlepage and Joshua Evans, jr., re- ceivers, and Mabel Walker Willebrandt, their counsel, to stay all proceedings in the receivership and injunction suit against the hotel property pending an appeal from the orders naming the re- ceivers and enjoining all persons from interfering with them. The appellate tribunal is told that the appointment of receivers and their taking chargs of the assets of the hotel, with the consequent interference with its management, has caused, and will cause, demoralization of the business of the hotel. The damage, it is asserted, is firreparable, and will cause great losses to the Mayflower Hotel Co. through damage to good will, destruc- tion of confidence in custom, injury to credit with merchants and actual loss of business, injury to the bondholders, creditors and stockholders. The charge is made that appoint- ment of the receivers and the grant- ing of an injunction without notice was irregular and in violation of the rules of the court. It is inted out that i the bill has fatal defects, and shows on its face that the complaining bond- holders, representing only $19,000, out of a total indebtedness of $9,950,000, were without Tight to maintain the suit or_to obtein the relief requested. ‘The application is signed by William L. Browning as secretary of the May- flower Hotel Co. The attorneys are William E. Leahy, Levi Cook and Ed- mund Toland. CAMP OPENING PLANNED Workmen's Circle Slates for Bay Place Opening.

THE _EVENING 5., PROGRANS ON RADIO PRAISED Maj. C. E. Emig Lirges Weekly Patriotic Services Be Continued. The success of the weekly patriotic broadcasts by the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution, ac- cording to Maj. Clayton E. Emig, pro- gram chairman in a review of the ll.s'u year, has demonstrated the need of | their continuance. The Winter pro- g of radio addresses closes June 1.| “The soclety believes that its efforts to “inspire the community at large with reverence for the principles of the Gov- ernment founded by our forefathers” can only be effected by an aggressive campaign of dmlni‘u shed speakers, Maj. Emig said, who hold the attention of ‘the community at large through pariotic addresses broadcast at regu- lar intervals. Interest is Shown. ‘This has been found to be a great success, he sald, as shown by the in- terest manifested at the National Cong- ress just cloced at Charlotte, N. C. ‘The other specific purpose of the so- ciety l)nn! patriotic, historical and edu- cational lines, Maj. Emig explained, can be promoted by monthly meetings and luncheons. To present the facts concerning the spread of Communism in the United States and the revolutionary and trade war purposes of the Soviet Russia, the Sons of the American Revolution in- augurated a series of weekly broadcasts lnst December from its national head- ~:~rters, by disinguished speakers.
