LA GRANDE OBSERVER Observer, La Grande, Ore., Mon., Dee. 38, .95 Page 7 Industrialist Disputes Housing Decline Predictions For 1960 NEW YORK U'Pli-Just ulwut every proenosticator who has given his blueprint of 1160 has uid housing starts will declint n the new year, mostly because it high money rates. And now comes an industrialist who says just the opposite, lit looks for a small rise numerically in the housing starts and a bignor rise in dollar value of housing David O. Kennedy, president of Kentile, Inc., says that in l&a housing" starts will set an all-time high in dollar volume. "Next year," he says, "larger and better houses will be a con tributing actor to the continuing high level of dollar volume." Kennedy bases his optimistic forecasts for healthy housing in 1960 on three factors: Demand for new housing will be increased by continued general prosperity. Quality housing will gain a greater share of the market. a The spectacular rise in popu lation will create new housing needs. "The level of building in this country since World War II, while high, has by no means satisfied the market," he says. CNP Te Set Record "Meanwhile, the top economists of the country, both in govern ment and industry, agree that the Gross National Product will go over the $500 billion mark within the next few months. "More than a million more households will have I960 incomes of more than $5,000, incomes w hich should qualify them for new home purchases." He believes the credit pinch is approaching its peak. He notes that higher interest rates did not place a severe drag on the market this year, and he doubts if they will in I960. Kennedy believes that in the near future it will be easier for families to trade in their older houses for larger, better, and more expensive ones. He holds the mass market no longer means a tasteless market in this country. The family seg ment with $5,000 yearly earnings, which will buy a home with a maximum $13,000 mortgage, is de manding new housing, he says. Population Boom "By this time next year," Ken nedy says, "the population is ex pected to increase to more than 180 million against 170 million currently. "Americans are marrying younger than ever, men at 22 and women at JO. And the Census Bureau gives obvious reasons increased economic prosperity and greater job security. "Marriaites in the country are up 3 6 per cent for the first nine months this year over the corres ponding period a year ago. Dur ing the first nine months of 1959 an estimated 3.1t.(XJ0 live births were registered higher than the past record for the period of 1957. ' He believes that young couples will play increasingly prominent roles as consumers as the popu lation expands. "They are going to take over the Iniiliglit. These couples, under 30 years of age. are the backbone U the market Kir con sumer goods. There has been and will con tinue lo be a rapid increase in the proportion of young people uho es'alilish separate households. "When speaking of the average family, you think in terms of father, mother and two children. And when the children grow to a marriageable aqe and leave the parents, the market is doubled Furthermore, the decentraliza tion of industry, pushed by the tremendous federal highway pro gram frofti coast to coast, and industry's broadening plant expan sion, will shift many thousands of workers into areas new to them.
